THE FRIEND.
JANUARY 1. 1870.
New Year, 1876.—To our readers on land and
sea, we most heartily wish—A Happy New Year.
We opine that it is to be a year of most stirring
I'vtDtß in the political and religious world. Prominent among the events of a goneral and worldwide interest will occur the great American Centennial. So far as our narrow limits will allow,
we shall notice topics connected with this grand
celobration. Much good wo trust will grow out
of it, to both America and tbe world. As Qod
has made of one blood all nations of men for to
"dwell
on all the face of tbe earth," wby should
they not meet and become acquainted? We are
confident it will promote good feeling, and we
hope conduce' to the spread of true Christianity.
Let us heartily pray for this result, and begin by
attending upon the meetings of theweek of prayer
in Honolulu, to be held in tbe morning at tbe
Bethel and in tbe evening at tbe Fort Street
Church. We extend a cordial invitation to all
residents, strangers, and seamen.

San Francisco."
This is a beautiful sea-going craft, combining all those requisites necessary to fit her
for passenger and freight carrying across the
broad Pacific. The Webb line of steamers
with their cumbrous side-wheels were fitted
for passengers, and the English steamers
were designed for freight; but now we have
really a model steamer combining exactly
those qualities required for the route between
Sydney and San Francisco. The accommodations and all the " fittings " seemed to
be in the highest style of naval architecture
and mechanical execution. She has shown
that speed is also combined with her other
qualities. It was our privilege in 1849 to
take passage from Honolulu to Oregon, and
from Oregon to San Francisco, on board the
steamer Massachusetts, the first propeller
built by Ericson, and the first American
steamer in the Pacific ; and we cannot but
contrast the old Massachusetts of 1849 with
the City of San Francisco of 1875. Verily there is progress. It is refreshing to
think that hereafter we shall have a line of
steamers across the Pacific touching at Honolulu, which must necessarily answer every
reasonable wish and expectation of the traveling community and our merchants. Success to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company^

THE POETIC POSSIBILITIES OF THE
PACIFIC.
The immortality of heroic and poetic
deeds and incidents does not depend upon
the temporal prosperity of the people or age
that gave them birth. The beauty of manly
courage and conquest, the divine power of
unselfish love, the pathos of life's suffering
and pain, as displayed in far off days, still
thrill the world; while the poets of our time
find their choicest inspiration in lands and
scenes of which men have sung and dreamed for three thousand years. Ever loyal to
its early classic founts," the world has,
"
however, found with every advancing phase
of history and discovery new themes for
song, appearing in varied form and beneath
distant skies, mirrored in unfamiliar seas, yet
by their very birthright ofpoetic beauty claiming a place among the treasures of the race,
Not alone were the shores which skirted
the blue waters of the Mediterranean to be
the scenes of actions worthy of mention in
verse. Even the dwellers there dreamed of
a fairer land, nor have their dreams proved
false. As has been well said :" To the imagination of the ancient Greek or Roman,
the pillars of Hercules formed the entrance
into a dark and mysterious sea ; yet, somewhere in its unknown waters toward the setting of the sun, lay, in his belief, the Fortunate Islands, under a clearer sky and in a
happier climate than any known in the
world of men."
Through the centuries as men have sailed
out of these dim portals toward the west
they have been met by the presence of
grander lands, than ever colored the yearning fancy of the Greek; not Elysium, but a
new world fitted to be the theater ofmuch of
the best history of mankind. The poetry of
America has but just begun, but its music
of freedom fills the earth. Over its border
lies the Pacific. Have we found the Fortunate Islands at last ?

If we have gleaned anything of interest
from what has been said and written, may
we not in it find prophecies and promises
of a continued poetry for our Ocean? We
will not claim for our ihemes any very exalted place, only a right to be heard among
the melodies of older and more honored

parent-stock in the dim past have these
ocean-dwellers found new homes among the
countless islands of the Pacific. The mystery which enshrouds their origin is poetry
itself, but he who may yet come to sing
their birth must chant too the requiem over

The Living Christ and Dead Oracles.
To the Editor of the Friend:
Whilst writing to you on the subject of
Hindoo poetry,* and its claim as the sacred
writing of a numerous people, 1 was led to
reflect upon the deadness of all the past oracles of the world, except the Spirit of Christ,
which is now the only living influence to
lift up the hearts of men, above this planet,
to another and a better life. Those imagined gods of India, Krishna, Vishnu and Indra,
are now mere poetic and patriotic traditions,
and are no longer as of old, powers with life
and death in the voices of their oracles.
Confucius is no more than a Chinese classic,
and Salivana the founder of the philosophic
faith of Asia is but a name for an Indian

The following facts afford an apt illustration of these words of Solomon. In 1854,
or a quarter of a century ago, the report
having reached the islands that Commodore
Perry's expedition to Japan was successful,
the Hawaiian missionary society immediate-1
ly voted one thousand dollars for a church
in Yokohama, and the money was placed in
the treasury of the American Board of Missions. As ihe Board had no mission there,
the money was not then used ; but on the
visit of the U. S. S. Powhattan at Honolulu in March, 1860, Chaplain Wood made
an appeal in behalf of Japan, when the following vote of the society was passed :
"Resolved, That the Secretary be instructed to
write to Dr. Anderson on behalf of this Society, rci|iiesting that if the $1,000 remitted by theTreasurer
of this Society to Ihe Treasurer of tbe Board, on the
17th of November, 1854, towards the establishment
of a Mission in Japan, is still unappropriated, aud
its appropriation for that purpose is not contemplated
through any agency of the Board, then the Treasurer
of the Board be requested to pay the same over to
the Rev. Henry Wood, at present Chaplain of the U.
8. steamer Powhatlan. towards tbe ereotion of a missionury obapel, at such place in Japan as shall be
deemed expedient by Ihe evangelical missionaries
located at Yokohama (fix ) Mr. Brown and bis associates."
Years passed on, and no effectual steps
were taken by the friends of missions for a
church among the inhabitants of Japan,
which called for this money, so carefully
kept until needed.
Mrs. Armstrong has placed at our disposal
a letter, recently received from the Rev. Dr.
Brown, which explains in a most satisfactory
manner the expenditure of the one thousand
dollars. Under date of October 26th, 1875,
he thus writes:
" I send you by this mail steamer a copy of tbe
Japan Gazette of the 24th July last, which contains
an account of the dedication of our new mission
church, for the erection of which the people, or n
portion of the people of the Sandwich Islands, gave
tbe first $1,000. I wish you would so dispose of
that newspaper that those people or their survivors
may see and know that at laat a fine substantial brick
church, with stone trimmings around the openings,
and stained glass windows presented by T. C. Dot-e-mus, Esq., of New York, baa been built, and that
this place of worship Is now used every Lord's day
by a native church and congregation, at 9 o'clock
a. m. and 4 p. m.; in tbe morning for preaching, and
in the afternoon for a Sunday school. The paper
will show you whsnoe the balance of the funds necessary for the ereotion of the church was received. I
want tbe good people who first showed their desire
to have a place of worship for Ihe living God, to
know that though fourteen or fifteen years have
elapsed since they moved in this matter, their effort
has not failed; but the end ia accomplished in tbe
creation of Ihe largest and finest ohuroh edifice in
this oountry. There is nothing to compare with it
in architectural beauty and solidity of structure.
All the seal* in it are made of a handsome wood

I have but a few moments in whioh to write
now, and you must excuse my haste. I have had to
slop ill the midst of this letter lo hear two Japanese
young nieu, who wish to become ministers of the
gospel, recite a lesson in Greek grammar. Tbey

"To resume the subject of the churches. There
must be as many ss 600 members in sll the ten
churches. A spirit of earnest inquiry respecting
Christianity prevails in this and other parts of Ihe
country. While I was out in the mountains of Hakone the lost summer, I administered the Lord's supper to nine native Christians who happened to be
there, and found the people on beyond the mountains
waking up to ask what Christianity is—tired of their
old idolatry and afraid of Romanism. On the whole.
I regard this as one of the most promising fields of
missionary ctlort in the world. The government will
not venture again lo punish men for becoming Christians. The director of the government press at Yedo
is willing to publish the Scriptures as fast as we
translate them ! That is a token of liberty. The
native converts are preaching in many places here
and at Yedo, and a month does not pass without additions to the churches by confession. Enemies write
against Christianity, and yet even this is an evidence
that mind is not torpid or indifjerent, a fact that is
in itself encouraging.
Please remember me lo Dr. Damon, and tell him
that seamen are turning to the Lord frequently at
this port. A good colporteur, partly supported by
the Seamen's Friend Society and partly by Christians
here, is faithfully aud successfully laboring among
the ships' crews in port. A temperance ball is opened for seamen to frequent for board and lodging,

Ordination of Two Hawaiian Missionaries
at Gilbert Islands.
Mr. Chamberlain, delegate of the Hawaiian Board, thus writes under date of July
24th, thirty-three days from Honolulu, on
board the Morning Star:
"Lono and Kanoho have been ordained
to-day; sermon by Leleo, who is quite up to—

worthy managers. Mr. and Mrs. Dunscombe have most faithfully and successfully
discharged their duties during the past year.
We have not only heard no complaints, but
many expressions of commendation from
boarders and visitors at the Home.
With the funds derived from rent and the
concert of Philip Phillips, the executive
committee were enabled to paint the building thoroughly and make other necessary
repairs, and without incurring any debt or
calling upon the public for additional aid.
The report of the treasurer will show that
the
of the society is good,
or at leSPwe have no debt to retard our
progress. Mr. Dunscombe reports that 8
captains, 22 officers, 55 seamen, and 200
men-of-wars-men have been lodged and
boarded at the Home, besides numerous transient travelers and strangers.
As a society we feel under special obligation to the Y. M. C. A. for sustaining their
excellent reading room, which is becoming
more and more a place of resort for seamen,
strangers and residents. It could not be discontinued without serious inconvenience and
injury to the public.
Our society can enter upon its labors for
another year fully confident of continued usefulness.

circumstances of the treacherous killing of
modore Goodenough or tho British navy,
two of his ufficers, by savages of the Solomon
Islands with poisoned arrows, wore contained in
our columns at tho time of the occurrence. Of
hit lost momenta tho London correi-pondent of
tbe Pittsburg Gazette thus writes :
We have just received particulars, and while
they make us mourn thai such a man should
have been lost to the world, they are u refreshing
contrast to the sickening catalogues of bliinilerß
mid accidents and crimes of which wo usually
read. It seems that tho Commodore was 0110 of
thoee grand men, such ns liavelock, Pattiaon ami
Sclwyn, who seem to lie created to render faith
the early Christian heroes easier for us in these
degenerate days. Kvory one loved him, ami his
secretary, Air. Perry, like a second Queen
Eleanor, sucked the poisoned wound, although ho
had a sore mouth at the lime, in hopes of extracting tho poison. For this he has received tho
rank of Paymaster in tho royal navy. One of
the officers of tho Commodore's ship, in a.private
letter, has recounted some particulars of the
good man's last hours, that I have copied here,
at the risk of seeming tedious
Everything was
wonderfully culm yesterday, and all on board tho
ship quiet; but for the noise of the engines.
Shortly before 4 o'clock these were stopped, and
the Commodore sent for nil the officers to bid
good-by to thorn. He spoke calmly of his approaching death, and begged theiu to remember
his earnest advice to them to trust in the infinite
love and wisdom of God, and to find happiness
in doing that which they knew to bo right, and
abstaining from evil. He then bade each one
good-bye, each one kissing him at his request.
He then, although much too weak to stand, and
although every movement gave him pain, had
himself carried out on lo the quarter-deck, where
all bands assembled to meet Into. He was laid
on a bed on the deck, his first words to the men
being, Don't look frightened—smile." When
laid down, he said, It the men will sit down,
1 can see their faces.
I
want to see all your faces to bid you good-bye."

upon you tbe love and goodness of God for you,

and love of God. He then adjured the men to
remember these, his last words, when tempted to
commit sin, that they would think of him and
what he was saying to them, and put the temptation from them. His voice grew weak as he

The Private Secretary of Vice President
Wilson.
" The selection of Mr. Wilson's biographer is yet lo be considered, but in regard to
the completion and carrying through the
press of the third and last volume of his
" History of the Rise and Fall of the Slave
Power in America," left nearly completed, it
is expected that it will be attended to by
Rev. Samuel Hunt, a lifelong friend and associate, his former pastor, for seven years,
his private secretary, and who, more than
all others, has assisted him in the preparation
of the work."
We clip the above item from a late copy
of the Massachusetts Spy. It is exceedingly gratifying lo notice this most just and
modest tribute to the Key. Samuel Hunt,
Mr. Wilson's private secretary. It is well
known that this gentleman has long been
assisting on the important historical work
which bears on its title page only the name
of Mr. Wilson. Mr. Hunt is a gentleman
of fine scholarship—a graduate of Amherst
College and Princton Theological Seminary,
where we became acquainted with him, as a
fellow student, in 1837-8. He was Mr.
"Wilson's pastor for several years in Natick,
and subsequently Pastpr of the Congregational Church in Franklin, Mass., where
formerly preached the celebrated Divine Dr.
Emmons. Mr. Hunt's literary attainments,
logical mind and rare ability to sift historical evidence have peculiarly fitted him to
assist in a work of this nature. We are
gratified to learn, from a letter recently received from him, that only twenty chapters
remain unfinished. He is peculiarly qualified to complete the work. Under date of
Oct. 3d, only a few days after, Mr. Wilson
presided over and addressed the Republican
Convention in Worcester,—Mr. Hunt thus
man advanced to command, and begged of him writes us :

The World Going to School.
The Great Exhibitions and Hfposilions at
London, Paris and Vienna, held during the
last quarter of the century, have been schools
for educating the world. In our estimation, their usefulness and importance cannot
be over-valued. The inhabitants of remote
lands are thereby brought together and
become acquainted with each other in u
manner that could not otherwise take place.
The forthcoming Centennial in America is
another vast movement on a gigantic scale,
in the same direction. Everything which
nations or individuals can do, ought to be
done to render it a grand success. We are
glad to learn that Prof. Alexander, with his
associates in the office of the Surveyor
General, is preparing a good map of the
Islands. Depend upon it, persons beholding
that map will need a good compendium of
our Island History and Resources. We
hope the Government Commissioners will
not only provide the Hawaiian Department
with a good supply of Whitney's Guide
Book, and Thrum's Almanac, but somewhere there should be a stall where every
book published relating to the Islands may
be offered for sale—including Jarves' History, Anderson's Hawaiian Missions, Andrews' Dictionary, Miss Bird's Book, —and
somebody ought to be ready, who wields a
pliant and nimble pen, to prepare sketches for
the papers; editors in the United States will
be only too glad to publish well written articles
relating to the Islands. We hope Professor
Alexander and his Assistant, C. J. Lyons,
Esq.; will not allow their pens to remain
idle. The world is going to school, and
will read, now supply that demand.
A person who objects to tell a friend of
his faults, because he has faults of his own,

Death of Vice-President Wilson.
Not only has the nation lost one of its noblest and purest statesmen and public officers,
but the Young Men of America have lost
one of their best counsellors and advisers.
Mr. Wilson has always been recognized as
one who cherished a warm, loving and
abiding sympathy towards young men, and
especially those who, like himself, were called in early life to struggle with poverty and
the " hard things " of humble life. In addressing young men (and Y. M. C. A.), frequently has he made allusions to his own
struggles, in order to inspire hope and ambition in their hearts. Wealth, social surroundings and learning smiled not upon his
pathway in early life, but most manfully he
breasted the adverse waves until he could
raise his head proudly among the intellectual
magnates of the nation and the world. His
name, like that of Lincoln, was not born
"
to die." It was the privilege of the writer
to hare become acquainted with the lamented statesman in the autumn of 1840, when
he first commenced lecturing in Natick and
the surrounding towns; hence we have followed his successive steps of advancement
with mingled emotions of wonder and admiration. No man, remarks a writer in the
N. Y. Herald, since the days of Jackson, so
well understood the "pulse" of the nation.
All honor to his memory, and the nation
which can bring forth from the ranks of the
people such noble specimens of humanity
and Christianity. Remember, young men,
that Mr. Wilson was a strictly moral aud
temperate man, and more than all was not
ashamed of the "Cross of Christ."
S. C. D.
the temptation. Keep busy ; idleness is the
strength of bad habit:. Do not give up the
struggle when you have broken your resolution once, twice, a thousand times. That
only shows how much need there is for you
to strive. When you have broken your resolution, just think the matter over, and endeavor to understand why it is you failed,
so that you may be on your guard against
a recurrence of the same circumstances. Do
not think it is an easy thing that you have
undertaken. It is folly to expect to break
off a habit in a day which may have been
gathering strength in you for years.

The Ninety and Nine.
Various accounts of the origin and authorship of the hymn with the above title, sung
by Mr. Sankey have been given. The following is given by Mr Sankey.
Some time in 1873, Mr. Sankey being
then in England with Mr. Moody for the
first time, bought a copy of the Christian
Age, a London religious paper publishing
Dr. Talmage's sermons, and in one corner
found this hymn. He had never seen or
heard of it before. It pleased him, and
seemed adapted to religious work. He cut
it out of the paper, and three days afterward
he sung it at a meeting in Free Assembly
Hall in Edinburgh, having composed the
music himself. A short time after, he received a letter from a lady thanking him for
having sung the hymn, and stating that the
author was her sister, Miss Eliza C. Claphane of Melrose, Scotland. She had written the hymn in 1868 and shortly after died.
She and her whole family were members of
the Church of Scotland. Mr. Sankey replied to the lady's letter, asking if her sister
had ever written any other hymns, and was
told that she had written several others
which were sent to the Family Treasury,
a religious paper of which the late Dr. Arnot was the editor, but only
" TheMr.Ninety
and Nine " was ever published.
Sankey communicated with him, and received
several pieces of manuscript. The only
other hymn by the same author in Mr. Sankey's collection is the 43d : " Beneath the
Cross of Jesus."

KINGTSHEH
OF AWAII.
BY S. C. DAMON.
K.iuir-hanirlia Ist. 1753—1819.
When the Hawaiian Islands were discovred, independent kings reigned over each of
the six principal islands. They were a fierce
and warlike people, and not unfrequently*
the most bloody and devastating wars prevailed. A war of this nature was in progress when Captain Cook discovered the islands. When his ship Uiscotiery cruised
off the shores of Maui—l77B—there came
off a deputation from the chiefs, and among
the young warriors, there appeared one who
was destined to act a conspicuous part in
the subsequent history of this archipelago.
We refer to young Kamehameha, then about
twenty-three years of age ; he spent a night
on board Cook's ship, much to the grief and
astonishment of his friends on shore.
At that period war was raging between
the Islands of Maui and Hawaii, and he developed the traits of a bold warrior, an ambitious conqueror, and also possessed great
administrative ability.
Originally a petty chief of a small district
on the Island of Hawaii, he commenced warfare upon neighboring provinces, and after a
few years of successful conquests, the whole
group submitted to his sway. His fame
won for him the title of " the Napoleon of
the Pacific." Like other conquerors—the
Alexanders and Napoleons —Kamehameha
sighed for more islands to subdue, and well
authenticated tradition reports that he contemplated at one period of his reign the conquest of Tahiti.
No sooner had he established his government than he made wise and necessary arrangements for its administration, and those
who had been his companions in war, be■oame governors of the different islands.
Then was established the Kamehameha dynasty, and for a period of more than seventy
years it has stood and exercised its functions
as firmly for the welfare of the inhabitants
of this group, as that of any other government on earth.
Kamehameha Ist was possessed of not only
great physical powers, butalso of a keen and
vigorous mind: his quick discernment led

high priest of the old system, to undertake
an entire revolution in their religious worship. At a great feast given by the king
and chiefs at Kailua, Hawaii, to the horror
and surprise of all devout minds, the former
leaves the place wher*e he was eating, and
goes over to the female table! This was
sacrilege? this was profanity of the worst
description in the minds of all believing in
the old faith !
The blow was now struck. Tabu was
broken. The work of destruction of both
idols and temples was now commenced under royal authority, and so effectual was the
devastating wave sweeping over the islands
that not an idol wus left standing. In reviewing this strange event, the work would
appear impossible unless a divine influence
was recognized, even amid heathen orgies.
Sometimes," remarks Mr. Bancroft the
"historian,
" like a messenger through the
thick darkness of night, Omnipotence steps
along mysterious ways; but when the hour
strikes for a people or mankind to pass into
a new form of being, unseen hands draw the
bolts from the gates of futurity, an all-subduing influence prepares the minds of men
for the coming revolution those who plan
resistance find themselves in conflict with
the will of Providence, rather than with human desires; and all hearts, and all understandings, most of all the influence and the
opinions of the unwilling are wonderfully
attracted and compelled to bear forward the
change, which becomes more and more an
obedience to the law of universal nature
than submission to the arbitraments of man."
As was natural to expect, a reaction followed this wide-spread destruction of the
idols, and war ensued between the reformers
and idolaters, but victory perched upon the
banner of the Iconoclasts. The nation was
now thrown back upon a system of universal
doubt, and the people were " feeling after
God." While these events were transpiring
on the Hawaiian Islands, under royal authority, the brig Thaeldeus sailed from Boston with the first bund of American missionaries destined for this group. On their
arrival in March, 1820, no wonder they were
astonished at the first report from the shore
that fell upon their ears: " The Tabu is
broken, the idols are destroyed." The work
now commenced of imparting to a savage
nation without any system nf religious worship, a knowledge of the True God. The
king and his associates became pupils in the
mission schools, and before two years had
elapsed Kamehameha 2d was reading a
spelling book, and witnessing the work done
on a printing press.
An English poet has found in the remarkable transaction, a theme for his pen :

Kamehameha 2d was restless in his island home, and sighed to visit other lands.
He imbibed a strong desire to visit England,
and confer with his '■ brother king," George
4th. All the necessary arrangements were
made, and he embarked with his queen, Kalaina. and a retinue of attendants, on board
the English ship LA iyle, Capt. Starbuck.
They sailed from Honolulu in November,
1823, and reached England in the following
May, 1824; there they were kindly welcomed by the king and government, and became the nation's guests, being treated with
much attention ; but both Kamehameha and
his queen were attacked with the measles,
from which disease neither recovered.
The British Government, now made the
requisite preparation to convey the royal remains, to repose in their island-home. The
frigate Illonde was placed under the command of Lord Byron, (a cousin of the poet)
to perform this honorable service. The remains were duly conveyed around Cape
Horn to the shores of Oahu, where they
were received with due respect. The kind
and considerate manner in which his Lordship discharged the delicate duties of the
work entrusted to him, is worthy of all

conceded to the pressure of the nation, demanding more rights, with as much becoming condescension as any king ever listened
to the " vox populi." In the expressive language of his successor, " Kauikeaouli gave

was greatly beloved not only by his own
people, but also by foreigners, and most
deeply lamented when called on the 15th of

The new king ascended the throne, having enjoyed the best educational advantages
which the island kingdom could afford, and
also the benefit of foreign travel. He was
recognized in early life as the heir apparent,
having been adopted by his late majesty.
Alexander Liholiho, or Kamehameha 4th,
was born Feb. 9th, 1834; he was carefully
instructed in the Koyal Schojol, under the
management of Mr. and Mrs. Cooke; he

An older brother of the late king peacefully succeeded to the throne of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The brothers were educated
together, and had traveled in company. The
elder never manifested any uneasiness, that
his younger brother should have been king
before himself. During the preceding reign
he occupied various positions of responsibility, and for several years was minister of
the interior. He was well educated and per-
fectly familiar with the English language,
and his experience as an officer of government, combined with an imperious disposition, naturally led him, on becoming the
sovereign, to exercise a controlling influence
in all departments of state. But few appointments were ever made, even to inferior
offices, without his sanction. A few months
after his accession, a convention was called
for re-modelling the constitution, and because
the members of this assembly did not conduct in a manner to please the royal will, he
arbitrarily dismissed the convention, and
abolished the constitution. Subsequently
he granted a new one, but less democratic in
its nature.
Among the important changes, the house
of nobles and the popular assembly of the
representatives of the people were merged
into one legislative body. While his naturally stern character led him to establish a
strong government, yet during his reign the
rights of the common people were practically ignored, and they felt themselves under
the rule of a chief of the old regime, rather
than under a constitutional sovereign.
It was his ambition to become a rich king,
rather than one who aimed to rule according
to the provisions and limits of legal authority. He was not adverse to public improvements, and it was during his reign that the
necessary arrangements were made for erecting a parliament house, which would accommodate all the public offices. His
death occurred on the 11th of December,
1872, (his forty-second birth-d«y).
He
left a large landed estate, but heavily encumbered with debts. He was never married, and during his life firmly and rather
superstitiously refused to appoint a successor.
During the period that his remains were
lying in state at the palace, there was a revival of some of the old heathenish practices
of a by-gone age, although his funeral was
subsequently conducted in a christian .style,
agreeable to the rites and ceremonies of the
1876.

The Hawaiian Throne, by the death of
Lunalilo, again became vacant, his reign
lasting only one year. No successor having
been appointed, the responsibility devolved
constitutionally upon the Legislative Assembly of electing a sovereign. Two aspirants
only offered their names, viz., Prince David
Kalakaua and Queen Emma. The Assembly convened on the 12th ol February, 1874,
and by a vote of thirty-nine to six, elected
the former. The adherents of the unsuccessful candidate manifested their displeasure at defeat in riotous demonstrations,
which resulted in much damage to the Court
House ; but a force was landed from the U.
S. S. Tuscarora and H. B. M* S. Teuedos,
which restored order.
The usual proceedings "f inauguration
soon followed these riotous scenes, and His
Majesty prudently went forward appointing
his ministers and otherwise, adjusting the
alfairs of his kingdom. The King, soon
after entering upon his official duties, appointed his younger brother as Heir Apparent. All these acts of the King and the
Legislative Assembly were duly recognized
by the Diplomatic Representatives of the
three great powers—the United States, Great
Britain and France, and by all the Consuls
of other nations represented at the Hawaiian
Court.
The present King is descended from the
ancient sovereigns of the Hawaiian Islands,
and was born in the city of Honolulu November 16th, 1836; the resident of his
honored parents —Hon.C. Kapaakea and A.
Keohokalole—was situated on the site now
occupied by the Queen's Hospital. His
Majesty was married to Kopiolani (grand
niece of Kapiolani, the heroine) December
19th, 1563, who also is a descendant of Hawaiian chiefs. A sister of His Majesty is

while a younger sister is married to the Hon.
A. S. Cleghorn. The latter, Her Royal
Highness Princess Miriam L. Cleghorn, gave
birth to a daughter on the 16th of October,
1875. This is the first birth that has occurred in the present Royal Family since
the accession. The infant was baptized at
the St. Andrew's Cathedral on Christmas
morning, according to the rites and ceremonies of tho English Church, by the name of
Victoria Kawekiu Kaiulani Lunalilo.
His Majesty wns educated at the Royal
School under the direction of Mr and Mrs.
Cooke, whose invaluable labors were productive of such good results to the young chiefs
and chiefesses of the islands. He was an
apt scholar, and learned to read a'nd write
both the Hawaiian and English languages
with great accuracy and taste. He has in
former years contributed to both the Hawaiian and English newspapers published in Honolulu. The Ilokn Pakipika
or Star of the Pacific, the Gazette, Polynesian, and Advertiser were mediums
through which he communicated with the
public. In general historical reading and
current literature, His Majesty is well versed.
He writes a peculiarly fine and bold hand.
During the last few years, under the reigns
of his four predecessors, he has occupied
many positions and offijes of trust and responsibility, as will appear from the follow-

THE HAWAIIAN ROYAL MAUSOLEUM.
The last earthly resting place of the Hawaiian kings is beautifully situated on a
commanding eminence, overlooking the city
and harbor of Honolulu and a long line of
sea-coast on the southern shores of Oahu.
The Koyal Mausoleum is a beautiful gothic
structure, built in the form of a cross with
pointed roofs. The material is the coral
stone taken from the reef, washed by the
ceaseless waves of the Pacific, ever dashing
upon the shore. The grounds are neatly
laid out and ornamented with shrubs and
trees. A substantial wall protects the premises on three sides, while in front there is a
heavy iron fence embellished with appropriate emblems and devices. The whole appearance of the structure and its surroundings
impurts a most pleasing impression to the
beholder, displaying as they do much good
taste and architectural skill. We would
merely add that the only remains of Kamehameha Ist are one or two bones, which report says are deposited in the coffin of a high
chief who died many years ago. The following is a list, so far as is known, of the
remains of kings, high chiefs, and other persons distinguished in Hawaiian annals, which
are here deposited :

To our surprise wo learn the affairs of the Consulate have been so managed during the past
twelve montne, or since Dr. Scott has been Consul, that the fees have been more than sufficient
to defray the expenses, and that a balance has
been remitted to Washington. Such an event has
rarely before occurred since theestablishment ofthe
Consulate a half century ago. Being acquainted
with the
list ol Consuls, from the first Consul Jones, to Consul Scott, and knowing what
gross peculations have at times been practiced, we
are glad to learn that a new system has been inaugurated which we hope may be perpetuated.
All honor to the present incumbent, who appears
to have adapted his rulings to meet the many peculiarly perplexing cases constantly occurring, between masters and seamen, and masters and
ship-owners.
While making the above statement, we do feel
that there arc laws of the United States relating
to seamen, masters and ships, which ought to bo

have received a series of photographs of the
Pelew Islands from M. Dickson, Esq. They
are ten in number, and present a most accurate representation of that people. As we
have seen the inhabitants of several of the
Caroline Islands in their homes, we infer
that in manners, customs and habits, they
are near-akin to the Pelews. At Dickson's

will be seen curiosities and pictures well

TIIK FRIEND,
New Guinea Mission.
Port Moresby, New Guinea,
)
£
Sept. 29, 1575.
Heo. Dr. Damon:
In my letter to you from Sydney last year
1 promised to write to you again from New
Guinea. Ifm glad to embrace this opportunity of doing so.
We arrived here the end of last November. We came in the John Williams, the
Ellengowan (our little New Guinea steamer) accompanying us. We had a meeting
with the chiefs on board. They expressed
their willingness to receive and protect us,
and seemed eager for us to come and live
among them. The Karotongan teachers who
had been here nine months were well, and
reported the people kindly disposed.
We had brought a small frame house
from Sydney and all hands set to work in
putting it up, in five days it was habitable.
On the Ist December the .John Williams
left us, and two days after the Ellenyowan
went, leaving Mrs. Lawes, myself and Charley (our little boy 3 years old) alone among
the natives, and the only white residents on
the southeast of New Guinea.
The description which Capt. Moresby
gave of this place and Fairfax harbor is to
us overdrawn, so far as the beauty and fertility are concerned. It is devoid of that
luxuriant vegetation and other features of
beauty with which we have been familiar in
the South Seas. Food is very scarce; yams
and bananas are about all the land produces.
The natives bring a single yam, a single cocoanut and five or six bananas for sale, and
expect as much for the single one as we
should give for ten on almost any of the islands in the South Pacific.
The first three months we were here the
people lived almost entirely on the mangrove
fruit, which they had to go twenty miles to
get.
From Redscar Head to Port Moresby the
coast is beautiful, and perhaps more so from
Port Moresby to Hood Point, but after the
scenery of Eastern Polynesia it did not
strike us as very remarkable. The harbor
itself is large and well sheltered, but has a
nasty reef in the entrance and several ugly
patches here and there.
The natives have no knowledge of iron or
gold. The country may or may not be rich
in minerals.
Both flora and farina are poor in this part
of New Guinea, and in great contrast apparently to the northwest part. The first sight
of the natives was enough to convince us
that they belonged to the same race as the
Eastern Polynesians. They are not darker
in color if you make allowance for their constant exposure to the sun without clothes.
As soon as we began to pick up the language we had no doubt whatever on the
subject. I know enough of it now to preach
freely to the people in their own tongue, and
have got written down upwards of 900 words.
I will enclose a short list of words in this if
I have time before the Ellenyowan comes,
if not it fvhnll follow. In my translation

Polynesian versions I could get. Of course

Mr. McFarlanc, the only other English
missionary in this mission, is at present resident at Cape York. He will probably remove before long to Darnley or some other
island in Torres Straits. While this is a
good center for missionary operations among
the light race, it is not so easy to find a
good center for working the mission among
the black race. The farther west we go the
more unhealthy the coast seems to lie. The
headquarters of the Ellenyowan are for the
present at Cape York.
So far as our own particular work here is

That Pele in her wrath would hurl ber fires

The Coming of the Kingdom of God.
Since our last issue the week of prayer
has been observed, and such was the religious interest manifested in the meetings
and the community, that the union meetings
of the Fort Street and Bethel Churches were
protracted throughout the following week.
Christians have experienced a spiritual revival, and some have expressed a resolution
to enter upon the renewed life, who have
hitherto been indifferent to the higher spiritual interests of the soul's salvation.
Such seasons are Penticostal in their nature ; they are evidence that God has not
forsaken His Church, and that Christ is living among men,—that prayer is still offered
in faith and answered in reality. Such seasons again are most refreshing and encouraging to all earnest laborers in Christ's service, and afford a most gracious and precious
opportunity to all desirous of forsaking sin
and entering upon a new life. To the skeptical they may be a puzzle and an enigma,
but to all truly enlightened souls they are
unmistakable proofs of the "coming of the
kingdom of God." Our Saviour taught his
disciples to pray "Thy kingdom come;"
revivals of true religion are an answer to
that prayer. Let us not cease to offer that
prayer and labor for the coming of that kingdom, but let us remember also those words
of Christ addressed to Nicodemus, Except

From men like these old Scotia's sraDdeur sprints,
Thai makes bar lov'd at home, rever'd abroad."—Saras.
The name of Thomas Guthrie of the Free
Church of Scotland may be familiar to some
of us as that of a man of rare eloquence and
a leader in many philanthropic undertakings.
But to others it may be nothing but a name,
if indeed ever heard, yet dimly remembered,
since in no way connected with the daily
current of their thoughts and lives. To all
such we would very heartily commend the
recently published memoir and autobiography
of Dr. Guthrie, as most delightful reading,
from which one would go out into life with
a stronger, braver desire to strive for mastery over all things low and ignoble, to lead
up into the free heights of their being those
who have fallen by the way, and to lift
higher than before the banner of Christ's
blessed Gospel.
To literature of this class, this memoir is
a most valuable addition, and we doubt
whether in all the range of biographical
sketches one could find anything more wonderfully fresh and vigorous and stimulating.
In fact it seems to us to form an epoch in
biographical history, so in contrast is it with
the somewhat too prevalent tone of such
writing, so free from all ascetic or morbid
tendencies, so illumined by the joyous presence of a'great, sympathetic, brotherly love,
which warms and vivifies everything with
which it comes in contact.
What Guthrie said of Dr. Chalmers, at
the time of his death, may be said with singular appropriateness, of Guthrie himself,
now that he is gone. " Men of his caliber
are like great forest trees; we don't know
their size till they are down." Guthrie died
in 1873, tbe greatest man after Chalmers in
the Scottish Church. Looking through the
pages of his memoir, drinking the story and
significance of bis life and thus viewing from
all sides this forest tree before us, we have

and as he sits down in the evenf of his years to tell the story of his life,
and his thoughts wander into the past, they
come back laden with rarest treasures of
fancy and narrative, records of great men
with whom he Inbored and of humble men
whom he loved, flashes of most genial humor, hearty words of cheer heard by the
way. pictures of home-joys and peaae, and
shadows from the crowded haunts of sin and
vice. He lived a man among men, with a

Scottish fields he loved so well; now full of
the peace of Highland glens and quiet
moorlands, and now grand and stormy
as if caught amid the spray and tumult of the tumbling German Ocean, beating against its Scottish barriers. All this
becomes rest, vivid to you in the recital
of one who never in latest manhood lost the
buoyancy of boyhood, but rather as the years
waned grew into an atmosphere of immortal
youth.
Dr. Guthrie was born in Brechin in 1803,
which carries one back to a period in Scotland,
of which but few vestiges now remain, and
to customs fast becoming obsolete. Through
his pages you look into Scottish hdme-life of
well nigh a century ago with a clearness, as
if it were being lived about you now. It
was a grand spirit, if rightly used, which the
Christian Fathers snd Mothers of the olden
Scottish time inspired in their children, one
which made martyrs of men if need be. On
such a foundation Guthrie stood through
life, as if planted on granite.
His university-life was passed in Edinburgh, and after completing this he spent
some time on the continent pursuing his
studies. Some years intervened between
his return and his entrance upon the active
work of the ministry, owing to the cumberous working of the machinery of the estab-

lished church of that day, so that young
ministers waited, as it were, for " dead men's
shoes." Or, to use his own words " While
matrons turned to the newspaper for the list
of births, and spinsters to the list of marriages, it was the list of deaths the poor
preacher first scanned on his outlook for va-
:
cant
charges."
His first appointment was to the parish of
Arbirlot, where he remained some years.
This country pastorate was most fruitful in
experiences and in the knowledge of human
nature it gave the young preacher, and wns
a grand preparation for the years of service
before him. But more than all else the
outer world with its freshness and peace and
beauty, furnished him with themes and illustrations which came in other days as a benediction to both speaker and listener, hemmed
within the city's limits. In 1837 he entered
upon his ministry in Edinburgh, where he
spent the best working years of his life.
It has been said of him, He was a
man who, by sheer force of his emotional
eloquence, might have stirred a nation to
revolution." Nor does this seem exaggerated when we consider the mighty services he
performed and the success he achieved, calling for exertions which would have prostrated an ordinary man. Living so remote as
we do from the time and scene of their occurrence, we find it difficult to conceive of the events connected with the revolution in the Scottish Kirk. Into the ecclesiastical questions of his day Guthrie threw
himself with an ardor and enthusiasm, characteristic of the man. In crowded assemblies, fired almost to fanatical fury by their
views in regard to church legislation, he
walked undaunted and while the waves of
party feeling surged about him never wavered, waiting his opportunity, and when the
"
seemed ready to burst calmed it by
the magic of his words and presence. He
seemed most gleeful where the fight was
thickest, and all the grand, old Scottish fire
within him leaped into action when the enemies of right and justice arrayed themselves
most strongly.* The questions of Church
and State, which every nation must meet
sooner or later, were grandly met in Scotland. To-day Germany finds that they
baffle the wisdom of her profoundest statesmen. In England the day of their solution
comes slowly but steadily on. During the
ten years from 1833 to 1843, there was
waged in Scotland one of the keenest wars
any church has ever witnessed. The established church had enjoyed a proud history
for centuries. But to those who loved her
best, it became at last painfully evident that
a further connection with the state was impossible. Above all things and artud all
dangers were the brave Sons of the Covenstorm
nnters, determined "to maintain the right of
Jesus Christ, as King to reign within His
own Church." "So we had naught else to
do," says Guthrie, but to pluck the old
"
weapons from the dead men's hands, and
when the state came down on us in its pride
and power, man once more the moss-grown
ramparts where our fathers had bled nnd
died." The Disruption of 1843, which was
virtually the abandonment of the old established Kirk of Scotland by well nigh five
hundred of her clergy, inspired by the highest principles of Christian*duty and heroism,
is among the sublime things of history. We
know of no grander processional the world
has ever seen than that which, bursting
"
from the doors of St. Andrew's Church with
Chalmers at its head, marched out file by
file in steady ranks, giving God's people who
anxiously thronged the streets occasion to
weep tears, not of grief but of joy, as they
cried, ' They come ! they come! thank God
they come !' We did not come out a small
and scattered band ; but, on the day of the
Disruption burst out of St. Andrew's Church,
as a river bursts from a glacier,—a river at
its birth. In numbers, in position, in wealth
as well as in piety, our Church, 1 may say,
was full grown on the day it was born.
Above all and next to the prayers which
sanctified our cause, we were followed by ahost of countrymen, whose enthusiasm had
been kindled at the ashes of martyrs, and
who saw in our movement but another phase
of the grand old days that won Scotland her
fame, and made her a name and a praise in
the whole earth."
Such acts of moral heroism nre far from
meaningless when we consider the costliness
of the sacrifice which they involve. Henceforth those who had thus come forth could
look to no state-organization for support.
Hundreds of manses were closed forever
against those, who had for so long found in
them a home and about which clustered the
most sacred and tender associations. Sorely
was the faith of these brave men tested, but
it never failed. Out of the ranks stepped
Guthrie with his lion heart and purpose, and
took upon himself the burden of procuring
new homes for the homeless clergy. Through
the length and breadth of Scotland he traveled, warming all hearts by the story of their
suffering and destitution. Over half a
million of dollars was the result of this
single year's effort, while " many a dwelling
by seashore and in highland glen will long,
long remain his monument."
But it was not only in fields of ecclesiastical polemics that he won his laurels, but in
the midst of the sin and misery of the crowded city, where man-, has fallen so low that
the Divine image seems almost effaced. He
�I' II X
saw before him the most fearful forms of
vice and suffering, and set himself with all
his might to tbe righting of these grievous
wrongs. Some one has called him " The
Apostle of the Ragged School Movement."
Instead of delaying his efforts at reformation
till manhood, when the seeds of sin and impurity are fully developed, and the man
is sent out to work ill for himself and the
world at large, Dr. Guthrie aimed to reach
in childhood as many as possible of those
born amid surroundings of poverty and
crime. These schools brought within the
range of Christian sympathy and training
those who had before received the world's
frown and curse, and who in very despair
became in turn its natural enemy.
It was a very blessed work, yet one
which needed almost infinite love and patience But it has been grandly successful, and thousands have been redeemed from
a life of sin and shame.
The most successful preachers of any time
seem to hnve been those who, like our Saviour, employ figures and illustrations to impress the truth upon their hearers' minds.
Guthrie early set himself to acquire a style
which would most influence.those to whom
he would bring the word of life, and this
with his God-given talent of vigorous yet
aVpoctic utterance made him one of the most
powerful speakers of his day. Rarely if
ever has he been surpassed in his powers of
description and narrative. A little incident
may best illustrate this. Some one writing of
him says : " During one of Dr. Guthrie's
powerful appeals lo the unbeliever to close
with the free offer of Salvation through
Jesus Christ, he described a shipwreck and
the launching of the life boat to save the
perishing crew in such vivid colors, that the
dreadful scene appeared actually to take
place before our eyes. Captain C, a young
navnl officer who was sitting in a front seat
of the gallery, was so electrified that he
seemed to lose all consciousness of what was
around him. 1 saw him spring to his feet
and begin to take off his coat, when his
mother took hold of him and pulled bim
down. It was some time before he could
realize where he was."
This power never failed him. To the
" grey capital of the North came men to
hear from him the message of the new life.
Up into the earnest, glowing, tearful face of

This three-masted American schooner,
which has recently made Honolulu harbor a
visit, it will be remembered, is the vessel
from whose deck the young Earl of Aberdeen was washed overboard on the night of
the 27th January, 1870, when she was six
days from Boston on her voyage to Melbourne. (See Friend, December, 1874).
He shipped under the name of George H.
Osborne, as first mate. A sailor belonging
to his watch, thus describes his fate : " 1
was in the watch of ihe first mate, George
H. Osborne. He had the watch from four
to eight a. m. We were lowering the mainsail | Osborne and I were side by side hauling on the same rope. The ship gave a
heavy roll, and the down-haul get slack;
then with the other roll the down-haul got
taught. Osborne and 1 were both caught in
the bight of the down-haul. The first shock
came on him, because be was nearer the sail
than I. I had time to lay myself down, and
the rope passed over me, while Osborne was
dragged across me, and into the sea. I saw
him fall into the sea, but I could do nothing
to prevent it. It was the work of a second.
I saw him come to the surface ; it was a
dark night. I threw him a rope as soon as
1 was able."
But it waa too late ! Thus sadly perished'the unfortunate Earl, succeeding to In

father in 1864. In 1866 he sailed for
Canada to visit an uncle, and for reasons unknown to the world for several
years was a sailor on board several
American vessels, making voyages to various parts of the world. From Houston,
Texas, he thus wrote to his brother, " There
is no better or happier place in the world
than a good small American vessel."
On the report of his death, a messenger
was sent by the family to America to ascertain the facts.
One who knew him intimately in the United States writes thus :
" None have better cause to mourn hi* early departure than the teamen of this and his ohd country;
tor bad be been spared to carry out hi* plana, I think
he would have instituted a radioal change in the
mercantile marine, and would have been regarded
by Bailors almoat with veneration."
Now his mother, with a double purpose,
that she may carry out his wish to benefit
the class of men with whom he companied,
and to conserve his memory, has made her
gift. It will put a hundred loan libraries
for sailors afloat on the sea which covers his
remains. Each case that holds the books
has on it this inscription, suggested by the
Countess :

And so, this Scottish Earl's life of
mystery, ended when it might seem that its
special usefulness was just ready to begin.
He being dead yet speaketh to those among
whom his last days were so strangely cast.
Japan Correspondence.
Kobe, Japan, December, 1875.
1 will give you a few particulars of the recent trying
but merciful dispensation of Prov-
idence toward us.
Our daughter-in-law, John's wife, had
been with us ten weeks, and was so cheerful, well and active, up to the morn of the
16th inst. and most of that day, that we
could hardly realize how near she was to the
grave. That night she was taken ill, and
although our skillful missionary physician
had the advice of several other doctors, they
could not save her life. Her time had come.
Of her we can say, " Thou art gone to the
grave, but we will not deplore thee," for she
gave good evidence that she wns prepared
to be forever with the Lord.
Brother
Doane preached the funeral sermon from the
text, 2 Tim., 4.6 : "I am now ready to be
offered ;" dwelling chiefly on the word ready.
He showed that her hope of salvation rested
on the grace of God, through Christ Jesus,
to all believers. He also gave a summary
of her labors for the Chinese and Mongols ;
and especially for four Chinese children,
whose parents would have killed them or
left them to perish. Three of them they attempted to kill, two infant females by smothering, I think, and one a lad of about three
years by poison. He had lost his eyes by
small-pox, und his unnatural mother thought
he was a useless burden, and so gave him
poison (with his food, I think), but having
heard an older brother beg her not to do it,
he would not swallow it. I think it was a
relative of his, and also of one of the girls
and the grandmother of the other, that
begged E. to take them, and she, knowing
her husband's feelings, could not refuse.
Another girl, said to be five years old, but so
nearly starved that she weighed only 10 or
11 pounds, they were obliged for months to
keep her on rice water to save her life. On
being asked by a friend why, if she took
Chinese children, she did not take likely and
promising ones? Emily replied, "The
Lord gave me these." The blind boy soon
showed that he had a bright intellect. He
committed to memory rapidly and correctly
by hearing sentences read. By this means
he had learned by heart the four gospels and
most of the Ist Corinthians, and 50 or 60
hymns, and also with very little aid had
learned to play many tunes on the melodeon, and sometimes accompanied ibe tune
with an extemporaneous base. And better
still he gave good evidence of having a netw
heart. Not long since he died of scarlet
fever. One of the females also died recently
of teething sickness. The two surviving
girls speak English well, and have a prospect of being well educated. The one so
nearly starved is now in the family of a Mrs.
Collins, a dear friend of E.s, and studying
with her daughters. A few years since, she
was with her foster parents in the United
States, and at Boston in Mr. Durant's family, the late Dr. Kirk being present, he being
then nearly blind, was led about by her; ;in#
hearing her sprightly prattle, on being told
she was a Chinese, said : " Now I see hope
for China, since education can so quicken
their stolid minds." The other girl, a bright
five year old, speaks English correctly.
These children, except the boy, were supported without drawing on missionary funds.
To return to tbe funeral. Some 60 or 70
persons were present at my son's house,
about half of them Japanese, to whom
brother Atkinson gave the substance of Mr.
Doane's discourse. The hymns, beginning
as follows, were sung : "We are passing
along to our home in the skies," " Safe in the
arms of Jesus," and " There's a land that is
fairer than this." Six or seven missionaries were here from Osaka. Two Episcopal
clergymen from O. (one of them an Englishman), aided by four of our missionary band,
bore the body to its last resting place in the
lot of the female seminary, about an eighth
of a mile distant. After it was lowered into
the grave, part of the hymn—"Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep," wns sung, and Mr. Atkinson, of our mission, offered a very appropriate prayer. And we left the spot with
the joyful hope of meeting the dear departed
"In the Sweet By and By." We and John
have the sympathy of many friends, beside
that of our blessed Saviour.
As ever yours,
P. J. Gulics.
Rev. J. A. Daly, formerly of Honolulu,
has again offered his resignation of the pastorate to the church at Painesville, Ohio, and
this time so urgently that it has been accepted. He is to remain till the close of April.
�THE FKItiND, MARCH,
Rev. C. L. McCully.—We observe in
late Hollowell papers that a council of
churches was lately called to decide whether
this gentleman should accept a call to a
church at Calais. It was contended by his
present church that the interests of the
church at Hallowell and the Sabbath school
would be injured by his dismissal to the
other church according to his desire, but the
council decided that the change was desirable. Mr. McC. will therefore settle at Calais, carrying with him the good will and
affection of his people who so reluctantly

In January, 1874, three Bonabe teachers
and their wives were stationed on the islands
of Lufconor and Satawan, whose chiefs and
people guaranteed them support and protection. Early in 1875 Father Sturges of Bonabe received such a report of progress that
he determined to organize one or more
churches and ordain one of the teachers as
its pastor; on his visit on the Morning Star

In October, 1875, Father Sturges organized a church on Lukonor of fourteen, seven
men and their wives. On Satawan he organized two churches, that of islet Ta with
sixteen, and that on islet Satawan of eight
members. These are the first fruits of less

Honolulu, Feb. 12, 1876.
Scribner's for January has the following on
Gossip and its Cure :
-
Tbe very simple reason why the world is lull
of gossip is, that those who indulge iv it have
nothing else in them. They muat interest them-
selves in something. They know nothing but
what tliey learn from dity to day, in the intercourse with, and observation of their neighbors.
What these neighbors do—what they say—what
happens to them in their aociul and business »l
fairs, what they wear—these become the ques-
tions of eupreme interest.
The personal
umi
social life around them—this ia the book under
constant perusal, and out of this comes that pestiferous conversation which we call gossip. The
world in full of it; and in ft million house*, all
over this country, nothing in talked of but the
personal affairs of neighbors. All personal and
social movements and concerns are arraigned before this high court of gossip, are retailed at
every fireside, are sweetened with approval or
embittered by spite, and are gathered up ns the
common stock of conversation by the bankrupt
brains that have nothing to busy themselves with
but tittle-tattle. The moral aspects of gossip
are bad enough. It is u constant infraction of
the golden rule; it isfull of all unoharitableness.
No man or woman of sensibility likes to have his
or her personal concerns hawked aboutand talked
about; and those who engage in this work are
meddlers and busy-bodies who are not only doing
damage to others—are not only engaged in u most
unneighhorly office—but are inflicting a great
damage upon themselves. They sow the seeds ot
anger and animosity and social discord. Not one
good moral result ever comes out of it. It is a
thoroughly immoral practice, and what is worst
and most hopeless about it is, that those who are
engaged in it do not see that it is immoral and
detestable. To go into a man's bouse ateathily,
when he is away from home, and overhaul his
papers, or into a lady's wardrope and examine
her dresses, would be deemed a very dishonorable
thing; but to take up a man'a or a woman's
name, and sinurtoh it all over with gossip—to
handle the private affairs of a neighbor around a
hundred fireside*—why, this is nothing! It
makes conversation, ft furnishes a topic. It
keeps the wheels of society going, What is the
cure for gossip? Simply culture. Thi* is a great
deal of gossip that has no malignity in it. Goodnatured people talk about their neighbors because
and only because, they have nothing else to talk
about.
We believe that the cure for all this is for
each person to resolve that for themselves
they will take a knightfey's vow, " To speak
no slander, no; nor listen to it;" to keep
letters and communications pure from such
defilement, and in conversation to introduce
and keep prominent otljer subjects than the
vhes or affairs of neighbors. Perhaps some
would be aided by remembering that they
are not responsible for the sins of others except so far as they are caused by their own
influence and example ; but with the great
majority thoughtlessness lies at the root of
the evil. Another social reform which
would result well would be to refrain from
ascribing bad motives to others where, in a
majority of cases, we are not called upon to
enquire into the matter at all. In fact to
practice minding our own business nnd let-
in these subjects is growing in our community, and doubtless in these all important
subjects there lies a grand opportunity for
the exhibition of practical statesmanship.
Increased prosperity should not lead statesmen to regard these questions simply in the
light of money making—increasing exports
are good and are generally evidence uf wise
government, but a decreasing population is
a shame which no list of exports can palliate.
The preservation of this kingdom depends
upon enlightened action on these subjects.
Let tbe King and Ministers dedicate all the
good which the nation afM out of Reciprocity to the repeopling ofrSe country. To
do this labor is first required to make the
benefits of Reciprocity available—then carefully considered efforts for the immigration
of a resident population.
When we, in thi* lovely Pacific itle.
Have a Boston party in different style.
No winter* night ia about ua now,—
.No ooming war doth our spirit* bow,
But beauty aud Sower* are 'round v* here
And within js tbe voice of bappy cheer.

For all, aweet pleasure and gladness find,
And the evening speeds, in merry flight.
That shall live in our mem'riea, in circlet bright.
And now let a* oast back a grateful thought,
To those whose true courage our freedom wrought;—
To tbote dauotless men, whose bravery strong,
Released our loved Und from mighty wrong.
And let v* send up to our Father above.

"
ting our neighbors' alone Dr. Holland in
nolulu, and also with the readiness with
which the most improbable stories are believed, and the avidity with which they are
received to be retailed to others with a
thoughtless indifference to the wrong committed, it is true that to some extent so
common is this vice that it works its own
cure in so far that few believe anything they
hear in regard to others, except those who

THE FRIEND.
AI'RII- 1. ISTB.
We issue our paper a few days in advance of the regular publication day, April
Ist, as we expect to embark before that day
arrives on board the incoming Australian
steamer, bound to San Francisco. During
our absence, Tiik Friend wyi be issued as
usual, on the first of each month. We expect to make a flying trip to New England,
going and returning through Philadelphia.
We intend our readers shall profit by the
view we take of the great Centennial.
The Editor's address—95 Summer street,
Worcester, Mass.
Special Correspondent for the S. F.
Chronicle and Other Papers.—We have
received a call from E. S. Baker, Esq.,
special correspondent and agent for the S.
F. Chronicle and Resources of California,
also the N. Y. Illustrated Christian Weekly,
published by the American Tract Society.
The Chronicle is well known on the islands,
but not so well the Illustrated Christian
Weekly. We regard this paper as one of
the very best weekly papers, which could
make its visits to the families in the islands,
and we sincerely hope many subscribers may
be obtained.
Taylor's "Elijah the Prophet."—
one year ago a friend in New York,
About
T. C. Doremus, Esq., sent us by mail, Dr.
Taylor's " David," and hy the last mail we
received " Elijah the Prophet,'' by the same
author, who is Pastor of the Tabernacle
Church, Broadway, N. Y. The books are,
we suppose, the substance of the Sabbath
Day Discourses of Dr. Taylor to thronging
crowds surging along that central thoroughfare of New York, and gathering to listen
both morning and evening, to his preaching.
It is refreshing to know that such wholesome
spiritnal food is furnished to those hungering
lor the Bread of Life. As Dr. Taylor's
David reminded us of Krummacher's "David,
King of Israel," so does this volume, on
Elijah, remind us of Krummacher's," Elijah," a volume of rare merit. Such books
cannot have too wide a circulation at home,
or abroad. When Christian laymen are
thoughtful to scatter such books among ministers and missionaries, they have our sincere
thanks. The " pews " desire eloquent and
thoughtful discourses from the " pulpit,"
then let the Pastor's study and library be
generously replenished with the fresh and invigorating volumes upon Biblical themes
issuing from the press.
Maunaloa.-A recent letter from the
Rev. Mr. Coan informs us that " the old
furnace of Mokuaweoweo, on Maunaloa, is
sending up its red glare upon the heavens.
The scene, when the conditions are favorable,
is grand. The mountains are covered with
snow, and shine in beauty." We hope the
numerous tourists on Hawaii will be there
in season for the grand display of volcanic
action.
25
{©liberies, MM.
" Olivia Raleigh."—Just as our paper
is going to press a neighbor has loaned us
a volume with the above title, written by W.
W. Follett Synge, formerly British Commissioner and Consul-General in Honolulu,
who now resides in London. Remembering
his literary proclivities, we are not surprised
to meet with this contribution to the current
literature of the passing age from his pen.
From our hasty perusal, we feel confident
that the volume will find many admiring
readers. We have not forgotten his Reading
in the old Court House, when he drew some
amusing illustrations from Charles Lamb. In
glancing through the pages of "Olivia
Kaleigh " we meet with an occasional remark, betokening a close observation of the
world. The following is an example : "Half
the unhappiness in the world arises from
men judging others by their own standard."
We have not time for additional remarks, or
quotations.
Beware of Your Associates, both real
and imaginary, in reading Dr. Todd's life,
we met with the incident, that after he had
been reading a certain navel, he remarked
that he was not pleased with the book, because he did not delight to associate with
bad people, or admit them to his familyWhy should a person associate with impure
and bad characters in his imagination any
more than in real life ? Many persons would
shrink from associating in real and social
life with such characters as are too often depicted in works of fiction, then should we
not beware of even our imaginary associates ?
Many of tbe novels and illustrated papers
should be kept as far away from our parlor
tables and the family circles as impure and
profane peisons. " Can one go on hot coals
and not be burnt ?" asks Solomon. It is as
impossible as for us to associate familiarly,
or even in imagination with bad people and
impure characters, and not receive a taint.
According to late New York papers,
Messrs. Moody and Sankey were holding

This is, doubtless, the creed to which many
subscribe, but it is altogether foreign to the
spirit of Christ. " Faith only, or a steadfast,
firm, immovable beliet in Christ," he says
in the same letter, " is the condition of our
salvation ; but let not our faith deceive us, it
must be accompanied by good works or else

and his fellow men. The sphere in which
he earned his daily bread was the sphere of
his Christian activity. We are more than
ever convinced that if the world is to be won
for Christ it will be by men who, realizing
their individual responsibility, labor for souls
as those who must give an account. When
will our church members learn that they
have not discharged their obligations when
they have paid their pew-rent and subscribed
me conventional guineu to the missionary
society ? Ministers may do much when
they prove true to their calling, but they
cannot overtake the work unless their efforts
are seconded by their people. The persecution which scattered the saints of the early
church was the means of spreading the
gospel, because every individual became a
witness for Christ. Since profession of faith,
and earnest service for Christ are two of the
most important duties which a Christian is
called upon to discharge.
In a most literal way Capt. March " Cast
his bread upon the waters." A number of
empty bottles accumulating on board, he put
a few tracts into each and, corking them
tightly, committed them to the deep. When
a man is really dead set upon serving Christ,
his ingenuity in devising methods of usefulness is speedily developed. The scriptural
injunction suggests novelty of procedure :
" Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it
with thy might."
In answer to the objection that he was not
an ordained minister, and had no business
to trouble himself about men's souls, he
charged the objectors with being inconsistent,
for when they suffered from sickness they at
once came to him for medicine, although he
held no diploma.
The life of Capt. March affords a striking
illustration of the text, that " The steps of a
good man are ordered by the Lord." His
escapes from peril were due to the interposition of a gracious providence. On a voyage
to New York»the ship was in the vicinity of
Long Island, and thinking she ought to
remain on the same tack for another hour he
went below to read his favorite commentator,
Matthew Henry. " Overcome by heat and
fatigue, he fell asleep. Suddenly it seemed
as if a hand touched him. There was no one
near, no unusual sound on deck. Looking
at his watch, he found that the hour was
more thad expired, and immediately hurried
up the gangway and shouted ' 'Bout seip '
A thick fog had arisen so that no land was
to be seen. As he was taking the helm from
the man, and putting it a-lee a cry came
from the bows, 'Breakers ahead !' He strained his eyes and, though he saw nothing
through the enveloping mist, he could distinctly hear the sound of the surf on the
shore. All eyes were fixed on him there was
a dead silence, wlijch he was enabled in another moment to break, by saying 'All's right,
the ship's about!' A few minutes more and
the vessel would have struck, and in all probability would have become a total wTeck."
In seeking a mooring in Broad Sound, in the
Scilly Islands, the ship was in danger of being
stranded upon the rocks. He writes, "The
pilot was confused and called out to let go
the anchor; but the anchor did not run, for
God had stopped it. Seeing this, I thought
I understood the voice; 1 ran aft and put the
helm up, which soon brought the vessel

How true it is, •' They that go
down to the sea in ships, that do business in

God, but are we not quite as much indebted
to His grace when we journey so quietly
that no danger threatens ? To escape unhurt
in a railway accident appears to us a great
mercy, but is it not a greater mercy to travel
safely to our destination withoutalarm ?

Children will read, and hence too much
effort cannot be expended in procuring the
best of books to supply the demand. A
few months ago the Bethel Sabbath School
sent lorward its annual contribution for new
books to Mr. Hoyt, of Boston. This time,
as on former occasions, he has forwarded a
choice selection of books. It is a real pleasure to witness the eagerness of the young
folks to obtain their weekly supply of read-
ing matter.
Among the recent additions to our library
we find many suited to the taste of children
of an " older growth." The circulation of
these among the fumilics of Honolulu, is
most wholesome and salutary. We cannot
imagine how an equal amount of money
could be more usefully appropriated for the
public good.

In our last issue, notices appeared of Dr.
Guthrie and Dr. Goodell—the former, Scotland's favorite preacher; and the latter, a
most successful American Missionary in
Turkey. The biographical and autobiographical lives of these two men have been
admirably presented to the reading public.
They were representative men of the passing
■ge. There lie before us the memoirs of
another representative man and gospel minister. All three agree in one point, they
were noble workers. They did not spend
their lives in dreamy inactivity, but putting
on the " gospel armor," they went forth as
valiant soldiers of tbe cross and nobly fought
under the banner of the Prince of Peace—
in Scotland, in Turkey, in New England.
They were aggressive men. The study of

IN REGARD TO HEALTH.
Kobe has been called a sanitarium for
China, and such I think it would be, if board
could be had at a reasonable rate, say $1 25
or $1.50; (it is now $3.00) still many come,
and often spend a short time in mission
families. In the thirteen months that we have
been here seventy-five missionaries, chiefly
from China, have called on us here ; many
staying only twenty or twenty-four hours.
The last two months my son, from North
China, has been with us for the benefit of
his health, his wile and adopted daughter
being with him. His nervous system is seriously impaired, and the extreme cold at
Kalgan, (occasionally 15° below zero)
seemed likely to be fatal to him. He had
leave to come here for six months. He has
recruited a little, and Dr. Berry, our physician, thinks he may quite regain his health.
On the 29th of November I fell from our
veranda, about two feet, and struck heavily
on my left shoulder, bruising it seriously
and slightly injuring the collar bone. Though
not quite well, lam fast recovering. With
kind salutations to all my friends, I am, as
ever, yours,
P. J. G.
Dr. McGibbon,
of
Sydney.—This
gentle-
man, who is Pastor of a Presbyterian Church
in Sydney, and editor of the Protestant
"
Standard," passed on his way to London as
Delegate to the Pan-Presbyterian Assembly,
to convene at London, in July. Before
leaving the city, where he has been a laboring Pastor for a quarter of a century, he
received a handsome testimonial at a gathering of his friends, including many of his
brother ministers of Sydney. The testimonial was a purse of 700 guineas, or $3,500.
The people of Sydney indicate their appreciation of earnest ministerial labors in a
substantial manner. It was only a few
months ago that the Rev. Mr. Curnow, a
Methodist Clergyman, passed through Honolulu on his way to England, and before
leaving Sydney his friends presented him
with a purse of 400 guineas, or $2,000.
Such generous testimonials bespeak ministerial fidelity, and an appreciative Christian
community.

At thb Monthly Concert for March, the
subject of Christian labors among the Chinese was prominent. It is customary with
some to sneer at work among this people.
"Can any good thing come out of Nazarethi"'
We might here present a number of instances showing the genuineness of conversions among the Chinese here and in California, but this is not to the purpose. Our
duty is to do what wn can for this people,
now placed within reach of our influence,
and leave the results with that Power which
is so surely effecting the conquest of the
wojjd to Christ.
/M.a.ny of the Chinese residing here have
Hawaiian wives, and their homes are neat
and creditable. They guard their homes
from vice and immorality with jealousy, especially those who have come under Christian influences. They have a great influence
among the Hawaiians for good or evil, and
those who would labor for the preservation
of tne Hawaiians cannot be unmindful of
this influence.
If anything would have a recuperative
effect upon the native race, it would be to
check the immorality and licentiousness so
fearfully prevalent among them. With the
care and nurture of homes in tbe true sense
of the word, the children would multiply
nnd families increase. Among the Chinese
who have shown a disposition to learn and
put themselves under good influences a large
proportion ore those who are married to
native wives. In view of these relations, it
is more than ever our duty to multiply the
means of moral culture among the Chinese
as possible, a

this community.

to join in the rejoicing incident to the Centennial celebration. It has been said that
traveling always improves the head, but not
always the heart; but we think the moral
lessons of the great centennial will be full of
culture for the heart. The observant visitor
will see much that will encourage him with
refejence to the progress nnd elevation of
man. There will probably be few, if any,
crowned heads there, but there will be gathered the trophies of the kings of art and of
mechanical science. Methods of education
and much that will illustrate the advance of
the last century will attract attention.
Pondering upon this great gathering of man
and his achievements, the mind will be expanded and the heart quickened to—

"Let the Dead Bury Their Dead."
Christ, the loving Christ, said these words,
and joined with them the injunction, " follow me." What meaning had that strange
and seemingly harsh command ?
There was the sacred duty of burying
with due respect the father of this disciple.
Yet Christ tells him there is even a higher
duty for him, and that those who are not
prepared for this higher duty—who are, as
he terms them, as yet dead " in regard to
the higher life, are nevertheless fully ready
and competent to perform the other tender
and necessary duty to the departed.
is this not so with respect to much of the
strictly Christian work before us ? There is
that in the line of charity and of benevolence which is human. It commands and
demands indeed our sympathy and attention, and yet it will be done by those who
h«ve not yet risen into the Christian life.
Meanwhile the sacrifice and labor requisite
for the purely Christian and evangelical
work can only be given by disciples of the
Savior. While enterprises, good in themselves, are going on by the efforts of thosp
able and willing to undertake them, is knot
expected of the Christian that he will husband his strength for what ho has more especially pledged himself to do? We cannnot,
the most of us, do everything.
This view of the case applies to the Y.

Christian enterprise ;—evangelical, 1. c.,
gospel-carrying. Those engaged in it may
well keep in mind the meaning of the words

Enterprise among the Chinese.
/ Was there ever a people so utterly oblivious to outside criticism as the Chinese ?
While by many the gravest doubts are expressed in regard to their fitness as settlers
on the islands, and people of almost every
other clime are preferred before them, they
pursue their destined way with the most
philosophic calmness, deeming a growing
prosperity in rice-field or shop the most potent weapon of defense. Whatever may be
their merits, or demerits as colonists, there
has been of late a movement made by some
in the right direction, namely, to form an association which shall ultimately bring its
members within the range of Christian influences. There are in California similar
organizations, though this promises to be
even more comprehensive in its scope. The
idea originated among our Christian Chinese who desire to bring the gospel to their
countrymen. Though no definite plans have
yet been formed, it is proposed in time to
procure a house, to offer instruction in evening classes, to endeavor to form a pleasant
social center for all those who may see
fit to join, and to assist any of those members who may be in need. The proposition
has met with much favor among the better
portion of the Chinese, and several hundred
dollars have already been pledged. The undertaking is certainly a noble one, and we
trust it may prove a success,//

dear
My
Mr. Damon:
If there be such a thing as dissipated
church going, I think we were guilty of it
yesterday, for we attended, or at least 1
did three full services. Our first was
with the Catholics at the Cathedral of the
Holy Cross. This church is on Washington street. The exterior though not quite
finished, is very handsome, and the interior

on the floor. A length of drugget from
door to altar softens the fall of the foot.
The windows, with the exception of two
near the altar, are of plain ground glass.
The floor of the chancel is covered with a
plain green carpet relieved by one of crimson on the steps leading to the altar. The
altar itself, is of different colored marble,
and is a model of taste. There are no stiff"
muslin flowers here, nor excruciating crucifixes, but a simple gold cross stands on the
top of the altar with the usual number of
candles. There are pictures on either hand
of the main altar, and a colored window
behind it, but no images are to be seen anywhere.
When we got to the Cathedral, the services had begun, and the large room was
apparently filled, but the usher found seats
for us after waiting a little while. An Irish
priest, whose name I did not learn, preached
the sermon. He seemed an educated man,
and was fluent of speech and graceful in his
gestures, but his sermon was more a product
of the imagination than of the profounder
faculties of the mind. After entering the
pulpit, which stood well out into the body of
the church, he read bans of marriage, followed by requests for prayers for the souls
of several deceased persons whose names
be read. The prayers were at once said,
then came the scripture lesson,—the parable
of the wheat and tares,—and the parable
was the text of the sermon, which was
against the sin of scandal. The audience
gave the speaker good attention. The congregation was decidedly Irish, and many of
them evidently servants. The mass was
celebrated by Bishop Williams with many
assistants.
At 3 o'clock we went with the Baptists to
Tremont Temple. The large hall was
crowded, and many were standing unable to
lind seats. The large number present—
urprised me, but 1 was assured it was not
ittall uncommon—indeed it was so every
Sunday. The pastor of this church is Dr.
Lorimer, who it is said was once an actor,
and his manner of giving two fine quotations
from Shakspeare this afternoon would certainly give credit to the report. There is
a good choir hpre, who fang with good

was followed by the large congregation
joining heartily in singing " Work for the
night is coming." Next a prayer, reading
of the scripture, and another hymn, then the
sermon.
The subject was modern miracles; the
text Mat. 7. 22. The sermon was sound
and earnest, though the delivery was certainly dramatic. The difference, between
our Lord's miracles, and the so-called miracles of the Roman church and of modern
spiritualism was shown. The minicles of
the Saviour were wrought for the good and
real benefit of man, or in demonstrationof
Christ's power,—the Roman priests pretended
miracles were only to bind the deceived
people faster by the chain of superstition to
the Roman church. In one breath with the
last word of the sermon came the benediction and the large crowd at once began to
go out.
Our third church was the Arlington St.
Unitarian. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale
took the place of the pastor for the evening,
giving one of a series of sermons, called to
suit the times " revival sermons."
The Boston spirit is thoroughly expressed
in this church edifice. It is built in the
old fashioned way, high box pews, high pulpit and galleries on three sides In the
centre of the crimson hanging at the back
of the pulpit is a cross in carved wood, corresponding with the wood of the pulpit
which, I think is oak. Above the arch are
the words " One Lord, the Father," below
" One Lord, Jesus Christ."
The congregation was entirely different
from the other two wo had seen. It was
small, quiet and thoughtful. The service
began with a voluntary by the choir,
and was after the usual order of the service
in congregational churches.
Mr. Hale read the lust three verses of the
2nd chapter and part of the third chapter
of John, taking for his text " We speak that
we do know and testify that we have seen.
His subject was personal religion,. Mr. Hale
had heard Mr. Moody preach from this text
reee'ntly. Mr. H. did not so much discuss
the text as enforce it, and he grasped at
once the central idea of it, s\/,. he must be
born from above which is the literal translation of the text. Mr. Hale went on to
say that some of Mr. Moody's statements
were true and some were not. He should
not take issue with him, but should try to
present the truth taught in the text and context. The idea of regeneration, which' so
many Christians believe this text supports,
the idea of an instantaneous change from
brutishness to godliness was the merest nonsense, an insult to God's nature. It had
come largely from the printed version that a
man must he born again. Physical and
spiritual growth were precisely similar, illustrated by the growth of seed. The seed did
not grow to maturity in an instant of time,
a man would not believe that for he knew
better, neither would he believe it of his
spiritual nature. The so-called regeneration is a growth, a development, nourished
and strengthened by the soul's communion
with God. It begins almost as soon as the
first momeutofconsciousnessand is continued
through eternity. How could a preacher
make his people understand this spiritual
life, this soul-life. Prove it says the sceptical world, but the answer must always be
try it and see for yourselves. "We speak
that we do know" is the language of every
Christian. He had tried the experiment of
walking with God and had succeeded, he
had always found help from above.
Besides these churches, we have been
to hear Mr. Murray at Music Hall,
Phillips Brooks at Huntington Hall, School
of Technology, Mr. Gordon at Clamdeon St.
Church and have visited the new Old South.
This latter church is sail to be one of the
finest in America. When we visited it
near the close of the afternoon services, wr
went among many others who were going to
see it, and to see is to admire. If one
might venture to criticise he would say the
style of architecture is too elaborate. There
is no debt on this church. Fancy our
Puritan fathers worshiping in such a building, but I am glatl the time has come when

" The
Passion Flower."
The statement made in the following extract may be of interest to some who have
perhaps before regarded with but little attention this blossom growing in rank profusion
over house and garden ; while the fanciful
and yet beautiful symbolism may renderthe
flower an evangel of hope to us all as we
shall note hereafter its divine and exquisite
mechanism. Some one has lately said of
the dandelion seed, " as it floats through the
air with its seed hanging like a miniature
car frem its finely spread balloon, it
would seem to be enough to cut up all atheism by the roots." So we doubtwhether there
is any one who can thoughtfully examine
the " Passion Flower," or the still more
wonderful and beautiful " Flower of the
Holy Ghost," "a blossom from the Tree of
Life, shaken over the wall by a breeze from
heaven," and say " There is no God :"
When the Spaniards discovered South
America they saw. amongst other plants new
to them, a climbing shrub, having from two
to three fruit-bearing flowers, unlike any
they had ever seen. One day a priest was
preaching to the Peruvians, or aboriginal
inhabitants, amidst the wild scenery of their
native forests. His subject was the Passion
of Our Lord. His eye suddenly glanced at
this curious flower, which hung in festoons
from the trees overhead, and he saw a vivid
picture of thesad story of Calvary. The rings
of threads which surround the cup of the
flower, and which arc mottled with blue,
crimson, and white, suggested the crown of
thorns, stained with blood, to his mind,
tutored by meditation ; the five anthers, on
the stamens, represented the five wounds;
the three styles, the nails which fixed Our
Blessed Lord to the Cross.
" So, without Bibles or books, did this
holy man instruct his converts on the Passion; and to this day our beautiful creeping
garden flower is called " The Passion Flower." In all languages it bears the same
name."

Rom and Ronf-Tre.. Poema by George Paraona Lalhrnp,
Roaton. JumR. Oafood Co.
The' interest
* which we anticipated
with
the coming of Mr. Lathrop's poems, stimulated by many and favorable criticisms in
American journals, has been fully equalled
by the rare pleasure we have experienced
of late in their perusal. Though the haze
of distance and years of absence may have
dimmed the poet's memories of his early
home, while the land of his adoption has
become the land of his hope and love, yet
there has been an added charm for us in
the music of his verses, springing from the
thought that his birth was among us, that
here first he looked with the eager eyes of
boyhood on the beauties and mysteries of
that outer world of which he has become so
graceful and sincere an interpreter and
revealer. We feel a nearness to the singer
in the song, a kinship of desire and longing
by reason of our common birth-right of soil
and air, of sun and sky.
Thus early would we lay claim to the
new bard, so that in coming days, if cities
battle for the glory of calling him son, our
plea may not be disregarded. Tennyson's
verse,
41The
poet
in a golden clime wju horn,"
may then not inappropriately be said of
one cradled on our shores of " deathless
summer."
It has ever been a favorite theory of ours
that these sun lends of the Pacific had in
them the seed of poetry and poets and we
may be pardoned the fancy that this new
climber

unconsciously drew with his earliest
breath the first inspiration of his poetic
purpose from the silent influences at work
about him. We trust at least that
Mr. Lathrop may be the leader of a
band, the key-note of whose songs
shall be found in the murmur of our ocean
waves and in the music of our winds.
Believing that there are always those who
can discern flaws in the choicest workmanship,
we have allowed ourselves simply to enjoy to
the full the sweet, pure, melodious utterances
contained in the little volume before us.
With most admirable judgment and rare
taste the writer has avoided many of those
faults of style and sentiment, which so frequently are the stumbling-blocks of young
poets and while vigorous and untramelled in
imagination, yet presents often times his
thoughts in a setting of exquisite delicacy

and finish, which many of maturer years
might envy.
In the very out set Mr. Lathrop appears
to us to establish his poet's right to be heard
in the verses entitled
MCSIC OF GROWTH.
Munlo is in all growing things;
And underneath the silken wings
Of smallest insects there ia stirred
A poise of air that must be heard.
Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings.
If poet from the vibrant strings
Of hia poor heart a measure flings.
Laugh not, that he no trumpet blowa;
It may be that Heaven hears and knows
His language of low listenings."
"
"Contentment" will come to many with
the peace of a benediction
:
hours have been when I have seen
" Glad
Life's scope and each dry day's intent
United; so that I could stand
In silence, covering with my hand
The circle of the universe,
Balance the blessing and the curse
And trust in deeds without chagrin.
Free from to-morrow and yesterday—content."
But it is in the songs of nature that we
see the poet at his best. There is a freshness in his treatment of old themes, a rare
art of discovering and suggesting new points
of view in well-known landscapes which is
delightful. Very truly does Keats say,
" The poetry of earth ia never dead."
There is also a tenderness of expression and a
sympathy of insight in much that he writes,
that would lead you to fancy that the secret
of joy which thrills in the notes of birds
and dances in the sunlight had been told
him. As some one has lately said in
speaking of these same poems, " In turning
the pages there is a sense of rains and
mists and winds, of things that grow in the
sun-light or under the shadow of leaves."
In this sweet under-world where nature
admits only the chosen few, he is most at
home.
Those, who are sometimes almost surfeited with the unending warmth and sunshine of the Tropics, and who turn with
longing to the beauty and variety of the
more northern year, will read with a rekindling of old and pleasant memories "An
April Aria," "June Longings," and"A
chant for Autumn." Of these we can quote
but the first,
AN APRIL ARIA
When the mornings dankly fall
With a dim forethought of rain.
And the robins richly call
To their mates mercurial.
And the tree-boughs creak and (train
In the wind;
When the river's rough with foam.
And the new-made clearings smoke,
And the clouds that go and come
Shine and darken frolicsome,
And the froga at evening croak
Undefined
Mysteries of monotone.
And by melting beds of snow
Wind-flowers blossom all alone,
Then I know
That the bitter winter's dead
Over his head
—
The damp sod breaks ao mellow,
Its mosses tipped with points of yellow,—
I cannot but be glad;
Yet this aweet mood will borrow
Something of a sweeter sorrow,
To touch and turn me aad.
The "Song-Sparrow" sings itself into your
heart, till almost unconsciously you join in
saying
i
my sparrow, thou dost breed
" Oh,
Thought in me beyond all telling;
Shoolest through me sunlight, seed.
And fruitful blessing, with that welling
Ripple of ecetatio rest.
Gurgling ever from tby breast !"
From other poems which have pleased us
much our space will not permit us to quote
at length and we are unwilling to mat
them by extracts. Great variety and depth
of sentiment are manifested in "Jessamine,"
" Moods of Love," " The Singing Wire,"
" The Bather," andtin two sonnets, almost
painful in their intensity "A face in the
Street," and " O Wholesome Death."
The very genuine success which Mr.
Lathrop has achieved and at so early an
age, has in it the promise of a noble future.
We trust that at no very distant day
thoughts of these Pacific Islands may tempt
the poet to seek new themes and inspiration
in their valleys and mountains. He will
find an nnwrought field but one rich in
poetic resources, which shall swiflly open to
the subtle magic of his touch. May not
Hawaii yet claim him as her Laureate ?
Through and Through the Tropics.
Through and through the Tropica, 'thirty thousand mile,
of travel In Oceanica. Au.trala.ia, and India. By Frank
Vincent, jr.
Mr. Vincent seems to have the very happy
faculty, as an author, of saying what he
wants to say in such a straight forward, simple, and pleasing manner, that he has already acquired a popularity through his
books which many travelers of more marked
ability, but less ease of expression, have
failed to gain. His first work, entitled " The
Land of the White Elephant," has been received with much favor, both in America
and abroad ; while a late volume from his
pen, " Through and Through the Tropics,"
will be read with much interest and profit.
Perhaps we can not give a better idea of the
scope of the last named book than by quoting a brief notice of it, which appeared in
Harper's, for April:
•' The author starts for California, via
Cape Horn, on a clipper ship, with three
other passengers, from San Francisco goes
to the Sandwich Islands, thence to Sydney
and Calcutta, and thence northward to and
through parts of " High Asia," coming back
to Bombay, where this journal leaves him.
The route is an uncommon one; it includes
observations on lands which are quite off the
ordinary paths of travel; and though the
volume, is small, and the author gives us .<

a
Cof llic T. M. C. A.
A short paper was read some time since
before the Young Mbu's Christian Assoelation of Honolulu, which endeavored to point
out the indirect bad influence upon the physical welfare of the Hawaiian race necessarily exerted by mental idleness, and to suggest, in an amplification of the existing
educational press, a plan from which, if it
were feasible, at least some advantage, slight
perhaps at first but likely to increase, might
be expected.
The paper to which we have alluded made
the following remarks with reference to the
Hawaiian people
•• For them, indeed, much has already been
done: Christian teaching has long been provided without lack of pecuniary assistance ;
and they possess a system of state primary
education equal in extent, if not in degree,
to that of any other country. They have ■
Constitutional Government and a King,
whose interest is sincerely in the welfnre of
his people ; they have churches and preachers, schools where their boys and girls may
obtain as much education as usually falls to
the lot of a middle class in other civilized
countries, a well endowed hospital for the
:
sick, and doctors maintained at state expense.
The climate is healthy, and absolute poverty
is unknown among those who care to work.
Why should it be so frequently, and alas !
co'dly remarked that in a few years more
the race will have disappeared ? We do not
put this question with a view of hearing the
well-known answer that it is because they
will not take care of themselves and their
children, but rather to elicit opinrhn as to
whether anything con be done which neither
earnest religious teaching nor an efficient
administration of existing laws will do.
We say that many of the people arc idle
und dissipated. Men cannot be always ;it
manual work, even when hard work is a
stern necessity of mere life, which it is not
here ; and what terrible temptations to idleness and dissipation would have been ours
if, even with a good schooling, we had enjoyed no literature of our own, if all our
after-school information and entertainment
had to be obtained through the difficult medium of a foreign tongue ! It is sometimes
asserted that the government system of education ought to aim at making the English
language the vernacular; but while the natives so far out-number the foreigners resident here, no amount of legislation will prevent the Hawaiian language from being that
most familiar to the people; and though
boys and girls at school may read and speak
fluently enough in English, from (he moment when school is over and they take up
subsequent occupation among those of their
own race, the language of their parents, of
their infancy, will resume its place as their
language. In what other country under the
sun has a native tongue been exchanged for
one imported, unless as a condition of con-
quest? We speak, of course, of the language of the majority the middle and lower
classes, for higher education, and even fashion, will often produce such an exchange
among those whoso position renders tliem
amenable to such influences.
The question us to whether a change of
the vernacular is desirable or possible, we
cannot now discuss ; such a change has apparently not suggested itself as practicable
to tlst- earlier teachers hereof any creed, and
we will assume that their decision in the
matter has lieen right,
Without doubt the people are, to u great
extent, shut out in this way from a means of
mental recreation and improvement ; where
is the wonder, then, if idle minds naturally
drift in ■ wrong direction ?"
A number of newspapers in the native
language have enjoyed ephemeral prosperity
and perished for lack of pecuniary support.
The existing periodicals are the weekly
Kuohoit ami I.nilni Hamuli, the former of
which is a newspaper in the ordinary sense,
while the latter adds to its news a selection
of articles upon subjects of general interest.
Even these papers would probably hardly
hold their own as financial investments but
for their possession of a number of unpaid
contributors; and with the bible, sundry
hymn books and prayer books, the school
books of the Board of Education, and"The
Pioneer Boy," they constitute most of the
Hawaiian literature of the day.
It seems likely that private enterprise can
do no more than it has done in this direction, and only associated effort can then assist the matter. The government of the
country has at one time or another subsidized portions of the public press as its
mouthpiece; and, though in political respects a partisan journal will probably not be
influential far beyond its sympathizers, we
think that a government publication under
the direction of a body so free in its official
capacity from party feeling as the Board of
Education, would be free from any political
limit in its circulation.
A magazine, published or assisted by the
Board, containing well selected matter of an
instructive and interesting kind, whether
historical, scientific or fictitious, and made
as attractive and handy in form as circumstances permit, would find many readers;
and if portable in form it would in many
cases be preserved, instead of being used to
wrap parcels in. A few years' collection of
such a paper would form libraries full of interest to the boys and girls who can read
well enough, but who, having nothing to
read, naturally become idle and go adrift.
The former result would, we think, very
well justify the application of some outlayby the Board of Education.
It might be possible to alter the form of
one of the existing papers in such a way as
to make its copies more likely to be preserved, and place its direction in the hands of
the Board. It would however be necessary
to keep the element of politics out of the
scheme altogether.
The following remarks in the Advertiser
of Jnn. 9th, 1875, with regard to the papei
we have quoted, indicate the Legislature as
the power by whom any such plan as we
suggest would have to be authorized, before
the Board of Education could apply it at all
The idea thrown out by the writer, that
the Board of Education could advantageously undertake the publication of a periodical
newspaper or mugazine in the native language, is an excellent one, were there no
present difficulties in the way. The first
and most important of these is the lack of
means at the disposal of the Board. The
sum of 550.660 is provided in the appropriation bill passed at thu last session of the
Legislature for the expenses of the Bureau
of Public. Instruction during the two years
ending March 31st, IS7B, and the items are
specifically mentioned upon which that sum
may be expended. Moreover a section of
the appropriation bill declares that the
"
Minister of Finance shall not cause or allow
to be paid from the treasury any money for
objects not provided for by this law " Thus
it will be seen that however much the enlightened gentlemen who compose the Board
of Education might be inclined to adopt the
idea of a State Educational Prean, they are
powerless to move in the matter until the
Legislature shall have provided the necessary meanBut we are glad to see that the attention
ofthoughtful mid generous minded people is
directed to this subject, and that they are
unwilling without further inquiry to adopt
the cold and cheerless theory that but a fewmore years will see the last of the race.
We trust that the discussion will be continued, until the opinion shall prevail that
something can be done in behalf of the Hawaiian* which
neither earnest religious
teaching nor an .efficient administration ot
"
existing laws will do."
The lecture delivered by President
Pratt before the Y. M. C. A., on Friday
evening, April 21, was most interesting and
profitable. The freshness of the subject,
" The Deaf and Dumb," and the ease and
ability which the lecturer displayed in treating of it, could not but give plessure to all
present. We regret that our limited space
prevents us from giving as full a notice of
the lecture as it deserves. The Association,
we are sure, are most truly grateful for the
kindness and courtesy of this effort in their
Mialf.

[Commaoicated ]
BeMtsrJsyAu.de9t 4.
A life closed in our midst on the 14th of
May, which from the length of years with
which God had honored it as well as the
way in which they had been worn, rather as
a crown than a burden, is deserving of more
than a passing notice in this year of centenThis life commenced in
nial memories.
1782, the year after the surrender of Lord
Cornwallis and the year before the conclusion of definitive treaty of peace between
Great Britain and the United States. Napoleon Bonaparte, a youth of thirteen, was
studying at the royal military school at Brienne. Joseph II was emperor of Germany
just deprived by death of the counsels of
Maria Theresa. Pius VI was Pope of Rome.
These islands had only been discovered six
years, and this life had counted thirteen
years when the first foreign vessel entered
the harbor of Honolulu. What an interval
of time is bridged by such a life; what if
one could gather the threads of the human
lives that have begun and ended during the
duration of this one life in which empires
and kingdoms have arisen and fallen.
Her own interest was in the kingdom of
Christ, and as the work grew on apace and
developed the proportions which it has assumed in these latter days, no wonder it
seemed to her of more importance than the
birth of any earthly kingdoms.
Her life was not wholly free from trials
which she ever sustained with that fortitude
which was so characteristic of her, and
which her late son inherited in so great a
degree, and which enabled him in Hawaii's
tryiog hour to render this country such service
as none other has ever been able to render.
Few of those whose privilege it was torender Mrs. Judd any service, however small, will
soon forget the sweetness with which it was
•lways received and acknowledged.
Mrs. Judd was born in Washington, Con-
HONOLULU. JINK 5, ISiC.
Among her brothers were Dr.
Thomas Hastings of musical fame, and Orlando Hastings, a lawyer of prominence in
New York State. In 1852 she came to the
islands, where for the past twenty-four years
she has lived surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, two coming in the week succeeding her death to
widen the circle of those who will ever cherish with a tender reverence the memory of
her finished life. Her direct descendants
number over eighty. She breathed her last
on Sabbath evening, May 14th, 1876.

Before leaving San Francisco it was my
privilege to visit the Palace Hotel and view
it from the basement to the seventh story.
It is a marvel, and to be fully appreciated
must be examined. The Sultan of Turkey
and Khedive of Egypt have doubtless many
palaces costing more than this hotel, but
they are comparatively useless and tenantless. European governments build palaces
for royal families, but in San Francisco is a
palace for the multitude, and I am glad to
learn that the general public is extending to
the establishment a liberal patronage. At
the time of my visit there were about nine
hundred boarders. Every apartment is finished off with much taste and neatness.
There is nothing " shoddy " about the establishment.

Berlin,Mcinhardt'o Hotel,Unterden Linden, )
March 16th, 1876.
Amidst the confusion and excitement of
sight-seeing, I steal a moment to scratch a
line to you, (even writing with my hat on,
ready to go out when F. is through his busi-

ness).
Berlin is brilliant, beyond Vienna, which
I thought so grand; and I have seen sights
enough and palaces enough to dream over
all the rest of my days,—and such palaces !
Have been through the royal city palace and
seen such magnificent frescoed walls,—with
gilded furniture, &c. They make every one
weur great felt slippers over one's shoes, so
as not to injure the polished inlaid floors,
and we stepped along most ungracefully,
with open eyes and admiring faces.
But I must not stop there or here. Yesterday we spent in Potsdam, visiting Babelsburg, the summer palace of the present
Emperor—going throughall the rooms, even
into the old Kaiser's private room. He
sleeps on a hard bed, and the furniture is
plain. Beside the table stood a plain arm
chair, made by the Crown Prince for his
father, and some of the Empress' water-color
paintings hung on the wall. The Crown
Princess' rooms are furnished as used to be
ber rooms in England when a girl.

mnde, if they were held in some more accessible place, in the Lyceum for instance if
that be available. I would devote the first
half of the evening to business, and place
the second half in the bands of the entertainment committee who could provide for an
essay to be read and discussed, or for some
good miscellaneous readings or other interesting disposition of the time, each member
being expected to take a personal share, or
to appear by proxy when his turn came.
By this means there would be as much
pleasure as duty in attending the meetings,
and the Young Men's Christian Association
would become a more tangible existence to
its members as well as to others It would
also be likely to obtain an influence over
young men who, well enough disposed to its objects, are yet not sufficiently inclined to groi*&
after the desultory attractions provided for their
enjoyment at the monthly meetings at the Sailors'
Home Many religious and other societies being
carried on by those who are already interested in
their respective objects, are in a measure independent ofsurrounding circuuistaoces ; but in a
society like ours, the object is to induce young
men to join us that we may influence them. We
ennnut defy or violate their taste, but should seek
rather to direct and consecrate it and to provide
for its culture. Neither is our object merely to
attract and entertain, but to get this class into
tbe habit of being bunded together for proleesedly
Christian purposes, trusting to our .Muster to
direct and mukc useful those purposes.
If we had a rigorous and a well supported association here, there is one form of work which
we might with confidence take in band. 'When
we have been spending occasional Sundays in the
country in the midst perhaps of large fnuiilies of
young people to whom church and Sunday school
were hardly even a name, I think few ot us can

services for the foreign settlements and hamlets
that are growing up on our plantations and other
districts.

ONE HUNDRED YEARS.
"
When a deed is done for Freedom,
Through the brosd earth's itching breast
Runs a thrill of joy prophetic.
Trembling on from East to West."
The celebrations, which group themselves
about our National American Anniversary,
will be this year animated by a fresh and
vigorous life. Old forms and ceremonies
will take on a new beauty viewed in the
light of the Centennial year; the most
extravagant and jubilant enthusiasm will
be permitted on"the day we celebrate;"
while those, who look beneath the show and
festivity of these days, will find in them
food for thought and themes for praise and
gladness. Their deep and glorious significance cannot fail to touch all American
hearts, while the deed they recall, done in
the name of Freedom, has become a part
of the heritage of mankind. The " thrill
of joy" still runs " from east to west,"
finding even in these islands, in far distant
seas, an answering chord. With "deeper,
clearer intonations" than ever before, through
the hush of the vanished years, break the
tones of the grand old bell proclaiming
"liberty throughout all the land, unto all
the inhabitants thereof."
The dawn of the era of American Liberty
is one of the sublime things of history.
The hours of the second, third, and fourth
of July, 1876, were fraught with mighty
meaning to tbe great men, whose hearts
bore the burden of their country's weal or
woe. The grandest possibilities lay within
their grasp and they saw with undimmed vision the beauty of true freedom. They never
faltered intheirtrust,butchoseaboveall things

of the world ; and the astonished nations
as they read that all men are created equal
started out of their lethargy, like those who
have been exiles from childhood, when they'
suddenly hear the dimlyremembered accents
of their mother tongue."
America has ever stood a child among
old and storied nations. She has cherished
hopes rather than memories; has entrenched
herself in forests, not in crumbling feudal
castles; hns gloried in the birth of new
and honored names, rather than in the
lustre of a far off past. But the time of
her coronation has come, and from " this
terraced height" all hearts turn back with
loyal love to the grand and glorious picture
which gleams luminously through the mists
of a hundred years. From all lands have
come those to do her homage and to lay
gifts at her feet, and her children glory in
her name.
In this Centennial year, however, none
offer more frank and sincere allegiance to
their native land than those, who from
foreign shores, send back to the old home
.
their heartfelt greetings. Our remoteness
has not lessened the fervor of patriotism
and national love. The bonds of sympathy
and affection have strengthened with the
years, have been a legacy from father to
son, so that we claim two lands as ours, for,
"Side by aide in our hearts to-day,

A ilgrimage to Concord.
Old world pilgrimages have long been the
topic of remark and of song. Mecca, Jerusalem, and Rome have for ages drawn many
a weary pilgrim who has, with soiled garments and staff in hand, walked over mountains and across deserts until he could catch
a view of spots sacred to religion and consecrated by superstition. But in modern times
steam on sea and land has come to the pilgrim's aid, and he no longer walks sorefooted and exhausted, but whirled along with
almost lightning speed. America—the new
world—is coming to have its sacred spots
where pilgrims resort, but not with careworn faces and wearied limbs! Concord,
Mass., is one of these places. Its Indian
memories are not devoid of interest, but its
Revolutionary history is full of thrilling incidents, and these have been oft celebrated by
orator and»poet. A charming June morning
found me standing beside the new and exquisitely beautiful monument representing
an American sculptor's idea of a Revolutionary
minute-man. This work of art is much admired. The statue represents a soldier
standing by the plow in the field, with musket in hand, ever intently listening and eye
looking most piercingly, if perchance the
enemy is approaching. The monument
stands near the one erected to the American
soldiers who fell on that long-tO'be-remembered day of April, 1775,—when tbe British
made tlreir attack upon the militia of Concord. Upon the pedestal supporting the
statue of the " minute-man," are these beautiful lines of Emerson:
May we not hope that a still fairer page
of history will be traced by America in the
century that lies before her ? Let us gather
inspiration from the broad and generous feelings born of these Centennial memories.

beautiful, much resembling a mild and
pleasant day in Honolulu, although the air
was little cooler. There was a festive entertainment and public service in the Baptist

The poem which we give below was kindly contributed by Miss Mitchell of Boston to
M The Centennial Echo," a manuscript paper read at the closing exercises of Oahu
College. Though written expressly for that
occasion, it is however so instinct with the
" Centennial ".spirit, that we are sure it will
find during these days an echo in the hearts
both of old and young.
Ont from tbe chaos of olden time.
When darkness brooded o'er this fair clime,
When Cruelty walked in savage might.
And Ignorance, joining it,—shunned the light;—
Out from this chaos aod darkness deep.
And scenes o'er which might tho angels weep.
Have come,—evolving in God's good time,
Order, and learning, and light sublime,
And gathered here, 'neath their cheering rays,
Let us thankfully praise these brighter day*.
—
And now it has come,—the closing of school,—
The pleasant rest from s pleasant rule;
The time looked forward to all the year,
For tbe end of work, and vacationhere.
And rest is sweet, with duty well done,
And pleasure looks bright, that Is fairly won.
But stay, there is one thought, dulland ssd,
That intrudes itself whereall else is glad;—
Boine who leave tbia school and its work to-day,
Shall return no more.—but by many a way,
Hhall scatter to West, and scatter 10 East,
Teachers and school-mates,—and not the least
Of the feelings that thrill to-day each heart.
Is tbeold, sad story,—alas, we part!
1876.
Paris, April 3d, 1576.
We left Dresden last Tuesday; I shall
always look back with greatest pleasure to
my life there. The charming gallery and
the splendid classical music there, I feasted
upon them! At half-past 7we were in
Leipzig, where we stayed but an hour. The
opera house of Leipsig is very handsome,
and the only handsome building there we
had time to see ; but there is much of interest, historical interest, in the place. At the
present time Leipzig ia one of the busiest
commercial cities in Europe ; much money
comes from the sale of furs and also from
the hundreds of books printed there every
year. Leaving Leipzig we traveled all
night, being alone in the car, and at S in the
morning were in Cologne, the largest town
in the Rhenish province of Prussia. It is
named after Colonia Agrippina, the mother
of Nero, who was born here, and still shows
traces of Italian life. On account of the situation on the Rhine it had connection with
Italy by navigation, and this gave Cologne
great power. The sewerage must be much
better now than in the days of Coleridge, for
he says :
"But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine
Shsll henceforth wash the river Rhine t"
I observed a clear atmosphere there, and
the water was pure to drink. Some of
the old streets are very narrow and with
side-walks so much so that* only one person
can walk at a time on them.
Our whole interestcentered in and around
the magnificent cathedral, which is one of
the grandest in the world. It is in the form
But the hopes of youth have such wondrons might,
That they gild all lime with radiance bright,—
And leaping over a chssm of years,
From this partiug hour, with its smiles sod tears,—
Can picture tbe meeting again,—in joy,—
With nothing ofchange, and with no alloy.
Thank Ood for tbls beautiful gift ofyouth,
ilisU can dream sucb dreams, and yet keep its truth
Unsullied and pure, while Its grand hopes rise
In fervent aspirings towards the skies.
May nothing lower tbe standard high
That has here been raised,—all wrong to fly,-And may each, aa they walk their different wsys.—
Each one who goes,and each one who stays,—
Doing and mixed in the world's great strife,
"Act well his part la tbe '* Battle of Life."

In tbe land beyond the ocean blue,
The broad fair land which we keep in view
Aa theborne of the men and women brave
Who, yearsago, crossed the tossing wave,
Aod brought to these shores the cheering ray
Of the light that gladdens our hearts to-day,—
There, near, though distant, Is going oo
A mighty remembrance of victories woo.
Of victories won in the yeara long past,
For a hundred years have fleeted fast
Since the solemn sound of the Liberty Bull,
rtoiemn. yet glad, did the story tell
To a waiting land and a watting world
That Freedom's banner waa then unfurled.
Unfurled Id the cause or truth snd right,—
A glorious cause,—'gainat which the might
Ofpowerful bosia could not prevail.
For God's hand held, thatit might not tail.
And ss our ears have the story heard.
And our hearts ro their Inmost depths been stirred,—
Ho may they beat wl h emotion strong
To light, as our fathers fought,—-the wrong;
While noble pride does our spirits move,—
Exultant pride in the land we love.
And another link has reached thiashore,

of a cross, the roof is of copper and rests on
a hundred columns; the carvings in and
outside are wonderfully delicate ; as far as
the eye can reach there are beautiful carvings
worthy of any great artist, and the artist of
all this massive wonder, dating from the thirteenth century, is now positively unknown.
Arch after arch inside the cathedral, through
which one sees beautiful shades of light tinted by the great glass windows ; in the distance come priestly voices from the altar;
men, women and children coining and going
from the many shrines, all in daily garb;
and sitting and pondering over it all I was
greatly impressed with the solemnity of the
scene. The lines of Grey came floating to
me, "Not to the domes where crumbling
arch and column attest the feebleness of
mortal hand, but to that fane mo=t catholic
and solemn which God hath planned." For,
you know, this splendid structure is constantly crumbling away and will never be
thoroughly completed, for when one part is
quite done by that time another is going.
The windows are costly, of different shades
of glass, and all mosaic-work ; the paintings
are of the different Bible characters from the
beginning of the world. Adam lies on green
grass (in one window), and from his body
springs a tike ; on it are David, Solomon
and hundreds of his descendants ; at last are
seen the Holy Mother and the Child Christ.
This picture covers one window. We went
into the sacristy and saw the heads or
skulls of the three wise men, all decorated
with costly jewels and in a golden case ;
also in a golden case a piece of the crown of
thorns, a piece of Peter's chain when he was
imprisoned, and many elegant jewels, diamond crosses, golden vases and like gifts
from many of the kings of Germany. This
cathedral will always live in my memory as
a dream ; it was so grand and so wonderful,
I can't believe that 1 have truly seen it. We
also went into the church of St. Ursula,
named after a princess of Brittain or Brittany. She married a German prince, but
went to Rome to get the blessing of the Pope
and also to convert her unbelieving husband
to the Romish faith. On her way home the
Huns, who then overran the country, murdered her. her husband, the Pope (who had
journeyed n little way with them), and
eleven thousand virgins of the company.
The bones of these eleven thousand are displayed for a small sum to the traveler, and
are in the sides of the church in niches. I
longed to sail down the Rhine, as I've longed to see more of the great cities to which 1
am so near, but it was not to be. We gazed
for the last time at the gieat cathedral as we
went to the cars early in the morning, and
with a trust I looked, hoping to see it again.
We had a very comfortable journey from
Cologne through Belgium and Holland, not
slopping anywhere for more than half an
hour at a time. The changes of country
were interesting, in particular the streams
and rivers with hundreds of canal boats,
some drawn by women, which we saw in
the Netherlands. And there the land is
very low. The beauty of scenery ia France,
which we read so much about, was all lost,
for we journeyed through it in the dark
night. Here in Paris we hive not been able
to see very much as yet. We enjoyed a
walk through the Luxemborg Garden, which
is very extensive, with fine sanded walks,
ponds of water with swans sailing about,
statuary on every side. This garden belongs to a palace in which is a little museum
of marble statuary and also pictures. The
latter are by living artists, very beautiful
landscapes, scenes from French history, and
as a whole a beautiful collection. All my
interestcentered in a picture which I have
loved for years as an engraving, a farm-scene
by Rosa Bonbeur. In front of it many artists were at work trying in vain to repeat it.
The church of St. Sulpice is large, has

Education in China.
BY THE REV. DR. LEGGRE.
This gentleman, for many years a Missionary of the London Missionary Society,
and translator of the works of Confucius, is
now on a visit to England. From an address, which he delivered at a school, we
copy tbe following extracts which we are
confident will be read with interest, as the
attention of our readers is so frequently
called to the Chinese, scattered over our
islands. They come from a highly educated
land.— "Education in China."
This will form the main subject of my
address. I might almost be, 1 suppose, the
grandfather of the oldest of you, and yet I
feel a measure of respect and awe in standing before you. A good many of you will
remember what we are told about John
Frebonius, one of the masters of the school
which the boy Luther attended at Eisenach.
He always raised his cap to his pupils,
when he entered the schoolroom ; and when
asked why he did so, he replied :—" There
are among these boys men of whom God
will one day make burgomasters, chancellors, doctors, and magistrates. Although
you do not yet see them with the badges of
their dignity, it is right that you should
treat them with respect." This was well
spoken by Frebonius, and, more than thirty
years ago, I was delighted to find the same
sentiment recorded of Confucius, the sage
of China. " A youth," said he on one
occasion, " is to be regarded with respect.
How do we know that his future will not be
equal to our present?" He then added, in
words on which I may have something to
say, ere I have done— If he reach the age
of forty or fifty, and has not made himself
heard* of, he will not be worth being regarded with respect." Well, you know that
education is very much prized in China.
It is much more prized in some of the
provinces of that vast country than in
others ; but 1 do not think I exaggerate in
saying that to-duy there are more boys and
students in schools and under masters in
China than there of men, women, and children all together in Great Britain. I hold
here in my hand a Chinese Primer, one of
the first lesson books which boys have to
learn when they go to school. Its author,
a Mr. Wang Pih-haon, died in tbe year
1296, so that it must have been written
fully 600 years ago. He prepared it for
family use ; but it has long been taught all
over the empire. There must be upwards
of a hundred millions of Chinese now living
who could repeat it all over from beginning
to end. You see it is printed in large
characters, the better to impress the form of
each on the eye and mind, and it is in a
-
1).
JIL¥,
15.6
sort of doggTO rhyme, each line consisting compilations on the ancient rites, ceremoof six words, with a csesural pause exactly nies, arts, nnd music of China. The fifth
in the middle, that it may be the more
easily remembered. It is not long, and I
will try to give you some idea of its contents. After some preliminary remarks to
the effect that all men are good at first, and
very much alike, and that it is their being
educated or not which makes them differ as
they subsequently do, and illustrating this
by examples, the keynote of the treatise is
struck in the following lines :—
"Tbe child fed, but untaught.
To the parent in shame;
To teach, and not be strict,
In tbe teacher is blame.
If the boy do not learn,
Very wrong sure is lie;
If in youth he be idle,
When old, wlmt will he be
As the gem, when uncut,
For nothing in good,
So the man who's unlearned
Knows not what be should."
-
Having thus opend his subject, the author
sets forth the rudiments of Chinese learning ; good manners, filial piety, brotherly
duty ; the elements of arithmetic; the more
conspicuous heavenly bodies; the three
bonds of society—ruler and subject, father
and son, husband and wife; the names of
the seasons, of the cardinal points, and of
the five elements ; the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, conscientiousness, and truthfulness; the six grains;
the six animals good for food, including the
horse and the dog; the seven passions ; the
is the computation of ancient poems or odes,
said to have been made by Confucius, and
many of the pieces of which are really very
interesting. The sixth is the history of his
native state of Ivo, for 242 years, drawn up
in short sentences by Confucius. It would
hardly be worth reading, but for three commentaries and enlargements of it, made not
long after the time of the siege, and with
which the Primer says the student must
also make himsplf familiar. One of them
is as full of graphic details as Scott's
"Tales of a Grandfather." When the
student has got through these classical
works, the Primer says he must turn himself to the five philosophers, some of them
orthodox and some heterodox, partly comprehensible and partly incomprehensible.
The latest of them lived and wrote in the
first century of our era. Only one other
labour is laid on the Chinese student, but it
is a Herculean one. " When thoroughly up
in the classics and philosophers," says
Wang, "he must take the historians in
hand ;" and he proceeds to give a bird's eye
view of Chinese history from b. c. 2852
down nearly to his own time. Then the
standard histories were seventeen. Now,
bringing the records of the Empire down to
the year 1644, when the present Tartar
dynasty gained possession of it, they are
twenty-four. I had my copy of them bound
iv English style, in thick volumes, royal
octavo size. How many volumes do you
think they make? Only fifty-six A book
as large as the last edition of the " Encyclopaedia Britannica" would hardly suffice to
contain a complete translation of them.
There is no method of education in the
world that so tasks the memory as does the
Chinese, and in the case of the majority of
pupils, so far as I have been acquainted with
them, it is simply a gigantic system of cram.
Still, in those who have strong bodies nnd
exceptionally strong minds, it develops men
of a more than ordinary aruteness, often associated with a more than ordinary grasp of
mind; while among the people generally it
develops an appreciation of filial and fraternal duties of subordination, of what is
proper and decent, and of industry and
thrift, which no unprejudiced observer can
regard without admiration. China has a
history, a veritable history, extending nearly
over 4000 yearc. No other nation has subsisted so long essentially unchanged, and
growing upon the whole from century to
century in resources and population. Various causes have contributed to this; and one
of the most powerful among them has been
the general education of the people. From
time immemorial this was prized and inculcated in the country; and in the latter half
oft our seventh century —about A. D. 631—
the competitive system by the examination
of literary candidates was established. Since
that time learning has been the passport to
eight instruments of music; the nine degrees of kinship; and the duties of the
social relations—affection between parents
and children, mutual accommodation between husband and wife, kindness on tbe
part of the elder brother, and submissive
consideration on the part of the younger;
strict regard to age between elders and
juniors generally; endeavours to promote
one another's virtue between friends, respectfulness on the part of the ruler, and
leal-heartedness on the part of the subject.
These rudiments being supposed to be mastered, the pupil goes on to the higher school,
and, through a very small portico of grammar, advances into the field of Chinese
literature. Then he begins with a work on
on filial piety and its duties, by Confucius,
from which he proceeds to the Four Books,
which are chiefly occupied with the sayings
and doings of the doctrines of the sage.
Some analogy has been fancied to exist between them and our four Gospels. The
Primer contains a sentence or two about
the matter and authorship of each. The
boy learns to read all these books, and, in
the course of years, to understand them
more or less; and he has to commit them
all to memory. When he has done his duty
on them, he is prepared to go on to the
higher classical books which Mr. Wang
Pih-haon says ore six. The first is called
the Book of Changes, to the meaning of
which, after more than twenty years' study,
I have hitherto failed to find the clue. The official distinction.

Edited by a Committee of tie T. M. C. A.
Thonghts on Experience in the Religious
Life.
READ BEFORE THE Y
M. C. A. BY S. H. DOLE
Many individuals, perhaps most, accept in
childhood, (lie doctrines (might them then,
whether ihey are liberal, orthodox, Romish,
Mohan)modan or Budliist, and never alterwards trouble themselves to examine their
creeds on their own merits. Such second
hand believers are rarely strong or useful.
And the safety of this very common method
of receiving one's religious faith, depends
purely upon the comparatively rare and accidental circumstance of being born and reared among those who are the fortunate possessors of unmixed religious truth.
To those however whose religious principle is strong and deep and earnest, as well
as to many who begin their religious life
after childhood, there comes a time when
faith in God and unseen things becomes too
important, too personal, and too sacred a
matter to be left to the assertion or argument
of others, and they are led by an irresistable
power to personally examine these questions,
and to decide from their own earnest consciousness. Then it is that doubts come.
They have gone so deep down toward the
roots of belief that they meet the skepticism
which strives for the mastery with belief at
its very fountain head. Doubts haunt them
night and day, and weigh Upon them with
almost unbearable force. They suffer severe
pain and anxiety, as what was to them solid
ice cracks and breaks beneath their feet. It
seems to them that all the old landmarks are
sinking and the well known stars going out.
Bold infidelity shows itself and offers its
false, uncertain glimmer as a beacon light,
and horrified and trembling they shrink
from an apparently inevitable fate. But true
to themselves, and true to God who they
know by internal evidence exists somewhere,
they persevere in their hard painful search
for the truth, and never once stop to think
of personal comfort, or the easy happiness of
a cloistered and bolstered belief. At last the
light is sure to come, glorious and rich and
wonderful, a thousand times making up for
the difficulty and suffering of the way.
Light and strength which none but those
who have struggled and agonized for it can
know or understand. Some one has lately
said truly. " There are many who do not
believe enough to doubt." And I believe it
expresses a real principle. Those who indolently receive their fajth from others without
self unspottedfrom the world.
taking the trouble of a personal examination
of its merits and are satisfied, are not troubled with doubts, neither is their belief likely to be of much account in the great crusade that is to conquer the world. But
those who bravely mean to achieve can hardly escape the many bristling weapons of
skepticism ; they cluster around the sepulchre and the cross of Christ, as did the
mighty armies of Saladin around Jerusalem,
and only the weak and faint-hearted will
seek to avoid the conflict and lose the opportunity of the glorious victory and the triumphal entry into ihe holy city of truth.
A change has recently been made in the
character of the monthly meeting of this Society, which it is hoped will be found advantageous. Hitherto the meetings have been
held at the reading room of the Sailors'
Home, and being chiefly of a routine nature,
the attendance has been uncertainand small.
It has been decided to hold the monthly
meetings in future at the Lyceum, which
has been kindly placed at the disposal of the
Society by Mr. Waterhouse for that purpose.
The first part of the evening is occupied
with reports of officers, committees and with
other business, after which an hour is to be
devoted to a programme to be arranged by
special committee. This programme will be
varied as may be convenient, and will include the reading and discussion of original
essays, miscellaneous selections of prose and
poetry, and vocal and instrumental music.
The object of this change is to bring the
members more socially together once a
month, and to provide for the encouragement
of entertaining and intelligent intercourse
amongst young men of similar tastes. Although the meetings are not public, each
member has the privilege of inviting his
friends, and by this means it is hoped that
the membership of the Society will be increased ; and that strangers arriving here
will have an early opportunity of forming
acquaintances and friendship, which may be
valuable to them hereafter. Every effort
will be made to render the programme"
"
attractive, and it is sincerely hoped that the
members will make it their special duty to
attend the meetings regslarly. They are
held on the third Friday of each month at
half-past seven.
George Williams of London—Our Young
Men's Guest.
The sname of George Williams is well
known and greatly honored among ail familiar with the work of Young Men's Chris-
tian Associations ihe world over, and those
of our readers interested in this good cause
will be glad to know that he is expecting to
visit America this summer. Thirty-five
years ago, Mr. Williams came to London as
a young man to begin business life as a clerk
in one of the largest houses in the drapery
trade. His rare talents, industry and fidelity
have now secured him a foremost place
among the merchants of that metropolis.
But he was also in early life a devoted disciple of Christ. Among the hundred clerks
with whom he was associated thirty years
ago, his influence as a Christian was at once
felt. In conversation, by example and
prayer, he led one after another to Christ,
till soon a small band of clerks in that house
were statedly meeting together to encourage
each other in prayer and effort on behalf of
their associates. Young men from other
houses joined them, and on the 6th of June,
1844, at No 12 St. Paul's Churchyard, ihey
decided to form themselves into a Society
"
for improving the spiritual condition of young
men engaged in the drapery and other
trades."
In 1851 some twenty-five branches had
been organized in the leading cities of Great
Britain, and in that year the good seed was
planted in American soil, Young Men's
Christian Associations being organized in
Montreal, Boston, and in other cities.
Mr. Williams has continued during these
thirty years the devoted, fostering friend of
these Associations. He has attended faithfully the General Conferences—seven in
number—held since 1855 in the various capitals of Europe. But he crosses the Atlantic
for the first time this month. He will be
cordially welcomed by the many friends who
know by experience the cheerful courtesy
which he has ever extended to members of
the American Associations whenever they
have visited the parent Society in London.
In Toronto (July 12-16) the International
Convention, at its twenty-first annual meeting, will rejoice in this year of its majority
to hear his voice for the first time. Among
the multitude of visitors coining to our land
this season none will be more cordially welcomed by the Christian young men of the
country than the founder of the Associations
which bear their name, and have done so
much to promote the welfare of the generation to which they belong.
Mr. Williams, while acting as Treasurer
of the Young Men's Christian Association,
is also Chairman of the City Mission Board,
and is officially connected with many of the
most useful charities in London.

One new church has been formed during
the period under review. Six pastors have
been installed over as many churches. One
of these was soon called to lay down his
armor. Four persons have been licensed to
preach the gospel—all from the Theological
Seminary. One of these has been ordained
and installed pastor of a church in Puna,
Hawaii; the other three have charge of
churches : Two on Kauai and one on Maui,
the latter may soon be ordained and installed over the church at Olualu, Maui. Five
pastors have been dismissed from their pastorates ; two of whom are now without
pastoral charges. Three ministers of the
gospel have been elected to and sit in the
present Legislature,—two pastors of churches, and one without pastoral charge.
Sixty-one churches are now in connection

SEMINARIES OF LEARNING.
The number of pupils connected with the
higher schools of the nation have greatly
decreased. This is the case with the Seminary at Lahaina Iuna, Maui, as well as the
Boarding School for boys at Hilo, Hawaii.
The Hilo Boarding School has been blest
with a religious awakening during the past
year, which has resulted in some ten of the
pupils having been admitted to church mem-
bership.
THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY.
The teachers of this institution have been
the same as in the previous year, viz : Rev.
B. W. Parker, Chairman of the Faculty ;
Rev. D. Baldwin, M. D, and Rev. H. H.
Parker, Teachers. These Teachers have
performed faithfully tbe duties assigned
them.
A new term of instruction in the Seminary commenced on tbe Ist of October, 1875.
During the meeting of the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association in June, 1875, an
examination of the pupils of the Seminary
was held in the presence of a committee ap-

The committee also say, " Let us be grateful

for His care over it." Can we not all unite

GILBERT ISLANDS.
The pioneer missionaries to the Gilbert Islands,
Mr. and Mrs. Bingham, wore compelled to leave
their loved work before tbe arrival of the Morning Star at those islands. The state of Mr. Bingham's health was the occasion of this. After the
close of tho first quarter of the training school nt
Apaiang, it was lelt that Mr. Bingham must have
a change, hence lie embarked with his wile ~u

upon the throne some two yeara ago, is doing

The Morning Star, writes Mr. Logan, brought

his life and work for the Master, Dr. Henderson said : "At the time of Dr. Guthrie's
death I wrote to his daughter congratulating
In like

manner, looking beyond the sadness and grief
„f personal loss, we would ask those to
whom he was dear to rejoice that another
has received the crown and palm.
A new name has been added to the list of
the " honored dead," that of President
Steams of Amherst College. All who ever
met him will recall the beauty and purity of
his eoutiterAnee, which in this life seemed
to shine with the glory »f thai light into
whose full brightness he has now entered,
so that we might speak rather of his translation than his death. The memory of his
saintly name and example will be of priceless value to the institution, of which he was
for so many years the guide and leader.
May his mantle rest on the one who shall be
called to be his successor!
The women of the United States have
taken up the cause of temperance reform
and the work will move forward. A glance
at the Morning, a new paper published by
them, will convince any one that they have
taken hold of a work which they intend to
accomplish. Fifteen hundred young ladies
in one city have pledged themselves not to
associate with young men who arc in the
habit of using liquor, and say they will demand purity for purity and sobriety for sobriety. We have long enough been the silent sorrowing victims of a most gigantic
evil, thinking we had no power to rescue
ourselves. We cannot wield the sword but
there is a moral power in united persistent
effort—with prayer that no evil can withstand.

is impossible to read the history of these islands, and see from whnt a horrid and revolting condition they have been brought to the
quiet, safe, and orderly life of to-day, through
missionary zeal and work, without believing
heartily in Christian missions to foreign
lands. Meantime the reaction upon the
churches sustaining these missions has maintained them in healthful vigor. I believe
the first essential of the Unitarian Church, if
it is to live and transmit its truth and the
noble examples of its saintly lives to coming
generalinns, is the missionary spirit."

A TRIP TO THE
Corrcpoodencc ]
CENTENNIAL-No. 6.
Thf Foarth of Jnl>. IBT6.
Having spent the charming month of June
among the hills of New England, I returned to Philadelphia last evening in order to be present at the Centennial exercises in this memorable city, associated with the signing of the Declaration ot
Independence, just one century ago to-day.
Soon after my arrival last evening, the mile*
of torch lights were witnessed, and It was
twelve o'clock before the pageant had passed,
when the Great Bell on Independence Hall
announced First Century of the Republic as
ended, and the New Century begun.
The evening was most propitious. The
moon was nearly at its full, and as Milton
says, " rode forth in peerless splendor." All
the inhabitants of Philadelphia must have
turned out, for the streets were filled with
the eager expectants of the brilliant show
and the long miles of tramping soldiers,
musical bands, and the endless exhibit of industrial and mechanical handicraft.
Scarcely had my eyes been closed in
sleep, ere 1 was awakened by the band
marching up Walnut street playing Yankee
Doodle, and following an illuminated car,
with these words displayed, " the 100 birthday. From that early hour until the present
moment there hns been one incessant patriotic demonstration of fireworks, and while I
am writing, the children in the street, under
my window, are firing off crackers and
other pyrotechnic combustibles, not much to
my peace of mind. *

railroad, taking me under the shadow of old education this seminary stands at the highWachuset Mountain, the highest land in the est point among all the female seminaries of
America.
Other seminaries partially modeled after this one, originally established by
Miss Lyons, have been started in the western country; and the Mills' Seminary at
Brooklyn, Cal., has drawn its inspiration
from the same source.
From South Hadley we crossed the Connecticut by a ferry and visited Northampton,
the " Norwood " of Beecher's only romance.
Here we glanced through the beautiful apartments of Smith College, where young ladies
are invited to pursue a finished classical
course of study. The first class has already
entered and been taught one year, while a
larger class is expected to enter on the opening year. The grounds and surroundings
are most tasteful and neat. The Recitation
rooms are in every respect such as the most
fastidious must admire. The department of
Natural History is to receive a due share of
attention. The collection of curiosities is
not large at present. As I have already observed, the view from the tower is transcendency grand and beautiful. We shall look
for most gratifying results in the future of
Smith College.
While at Northampton we also visited the
school for deaf-mutes, conducted on the new
plan which entirely discards the old system
of signs and hand-symbols. This system is
based upon the principle of speaking
from the peculiar motion of the lips. We
were introduced by the teachers to the pupils, who certainly
such skill in
lip-speaking as was quite surprising and
wonderful. We certainly obtained some new
ideas by visiting Clark-School for DeafMutes.
There is much of true historic interest in
Northampton. It was there that President
Edwards, the great divine of America, once
lived. The site of his residence is still
pointed out and visited by all lovers of Puritan doctrines and intellectual study.
A
magnificent elm tree now marks the spot.
From this interesting and ancient relic we
passed over to the cemetery, where repose
the remains of David Brainerd, over whose
grave there is a marble slab with this inscription :

four days subsequently. These notable persons would doubtless have been soon married, if death had not so unexpectedly intervened ; so says tradition !—so says history

cealed, and during that concealment
one of them came forth and led the soldiers
to Indian warfare and then retired, leading
some to imagine that God had sent His angel to deliver the people from the tomahawk
and scalping knife of the Indian. In Hadley
resides one well known at the islands,
Mrs. Bonney, formerly Miss Emma Peck.
The old time-honored and much frequented Commencement Exercises of New England colleges, are passing away before the
onward and combined march of Base Ball,
Boating, Class Days, and other modern innovations. This method of working off the
exuberance of youthful fervor and ambitious
aspirations of the collegians may be an improvement, but the older class of graduates
do not think so, yet there is no alternative ;
the inevitable must be borne and the situation accepted.
Commencement Exercises opened with
the Baccalaureate Sermon, prepared by the
much esteemed, much respected and much
lamented President Steams several weeks
before his death. It was delivered Sabbath
morning in the College Church by President
L. C. Seelye, of Smith College, Northampton, and was most appropriate, even if the
beloved president had foreseen that death
was near he could not have prepared a
more timely discourse. His subject was—
The. opportunltie* and responsibilities of
educated young men. Most earnest appeals
were put forth exhorting young men to love
their country. There was an allusion to the
late war, in which a son of the president had
fallen, to which a reference was made in the
following touching passage of the discourse :
(Jod grant that such scenes may never be repeatmi"! but, should the dreadful voice of divine retribu-
tion summon you to the bitt'es of righteousness—
spare neither your own life nor the life of biro who is
Ins mother's joy. Aoting from Ihe high sentiment of
Christian duty, the crown of martyrdom will await
him and yon. There hangs in my parlor the portrait of a young officer in military attire, with his
right band on the hilt of tbe sword by his side. As
I was gating on it with tender musings, the figure
took oo life, the lips parted and said, Tell tbem to be
good and true, aud then, if the country calls for
them, dulce tt decorum %rro patria mori.
In the afternoon the Lord's Supper was
administered in the same place, when two
young men made a profession of their faith,
and it was remarked that on a preceding occasion about thirty had done the same.
These were the fruits of a most precious revival among the students of the college during
the last year.
in the evening of the same day, the Rev.
Dr. R. Thomas, of Brooklinc, Mass., delivered an address before the society of Inquiry.
It was a most eloquent and interesting discourse. Dr. Thomas has within a year or
so been invited from a London pulpit, and

On Monday followed Prize Speaking, and
on Tuesday " Class Day exercises. In the
evening of the same day, there was a Grand
Concert of the Class of '76," in which
some of the most noted performers of America took a part, including the famous " Mendelssohn Quintette Club " of Boston.
The exercises of the following day, Wednesday, were "Junior Class Physical Exercises," including dumb-bell and other athletic
performances, in which the young men acquitted themselves most creditably. "Alumni meeting" followed, when the Rev. Dr.
Leeds, the rector of an Episcopal church in
Baltimore and the class of '35, delivered a
most finished and polished oration, abounding with apt and graceful classical allusions.
I have rarely ever listened to an address of
this nature and on such an occasion, which
was more appropriate.
The real " Commencement Exercises"

only regretted that my very limited time
would not allow me to remain and listen to

which has ever graduated from Amherst.

occasion to be ashamed of her 2,000 graduates who have gone forth during the past
half century.
This college is one of the very best types
of our American colleges, which are institutions somewhat peculiar to America. They
are like, yet unlike, the universities of the
old world ; their excellences and peculiarities
have been the result of the exigencies of
American student-life. Their influence is
most commanding and constantly increasing.
While there is a tendency in some quarters
to combine the colleges of the land into universities, yet we should hope the peculiar
typical college of America would never be
absorbed or pass away. It is an outgrowth
of the fresh and free life of America.
It is a marked feature of the age, from a
missionary point of view, that colleges are
now springing up in other lands modeled
after the type of the American college, and
not after the university-type of the old world.
Roberts' College of Constantinople and the
Syrian College at Beirut, are good examples
of such institutions. Other similar institutions have already been started in other parts
of the Turkish Empire ; a similar college is
now projected for Brazil, South America;
and also for Ceylon and other parts of India.
Soon one will arise in Japan.

DR. HENRY SCHLIEMANN.
AN AUTOBIOOtAPIIICAI. SKETCH.
Few
discoveries
of
modern
times
possess more poetic nnd historic interest
than those of Dr. Henry Schliemann in the
Troad. Within the last few years scholars
have turned with renewed attention to the
city immortalized by the genius and song
of Homer, as the rumor has spread that the
long buried walls of Ilium, its palace nnd
temples and homes were slowly rising into
view. Out of the dim and mythic past they
seemed to some into the full light and nearness of the present day as if evoked by
magic; one felt as if he were gazing on
some fleet and elusive mirage or saw a
vision which must in a moment vanish. But
the city of Troy which Dr. H. Schliemanq
professes to have discovered, is buil.t on very
solid and enduring foundations us will be
seen by all those who are so fortunate as to
be able to read his work entitled, " Troy and
its Hemains," translated and published in
England in 187&. This gives in full the
accounts of his researches from 1871 to
1873 at Hissarlik in the Troad. Here he
unearthed the remains of four cities, the
lowest being in all probability the Troy of
Homer, a discovery of immense value to
scholars and archaeologists. The facts calmly and carefully given are invested with the
charm of romance. Bnt it is not our object
10 go at all into the history of these late discoveries, which are now known to the
reading world. We have preferred rather to
give in full the autobiographical sketch of
Dr. Schliemann, which is included in the
volume before us. One can not but be profoundly moved by its perusal. It is the
simple, almost homely, yet intensely pathetic recital of the efforts which he made in the
face of the greatest difficulties to accomplish
the longed for purpose of his life. Every
such history is a blessing to mankind. Better
are such glimpses of a brave, heroic spirit
than the resurrection of a buried city with
its classic memories; richer treasure than
the silver and gold of King Priam.
\
l>. HUM,
IS,
of ten, 1 presented my father, as a Christmas
gift, wilh a badly written Latin essay upon
principal events of the Trojan war and
Ithe
the adventures of Ulysses and Agamemnon,
little did I think that, six-and-thirty years
later, I should offer the public a work on the
same subject, after having had the good fortune to see with my own eyes the scene of
that war, and the country of the heroes
whose names have lieen immortalized by
Homer.
As soon as I had learnt to .speak, my
father related to me the great deeds of the
Homeric heroes. I loved these stories; they
enchanted me and transported me with the
highest enthusiasm. The tirst impressions
which a child receives abide with him during his whole life; and, though it was my
lot, at the age of fourteen, to lie apprenticetl
in the warehouse ol E. Ludwig Holtz in the
small town of Fiirstenberg, in Mecklenburg,
instead of following the scientific career for
which I felt an extraordinary predisposition,
I always retained the same love for the famous men of antiquity which t had conceived for them in my first childhood.
In the small shop where I was employed
for five years and a half, first by Mr. Holtz
ami then by his successor, the excellent Mr.
Th. Huckstadt, my occupation consjsted in
retailing herrings, butter, brandy, milk and
salt, grinding potatoes for the still, sweeping
the shop, and so forth. I only came into
contact with the lower classes of society.
From fire in the morning to eleven at
night 1 was engaged in this work, and had
not a moment free for study. Moreover I
rapidly forgot the little that 1 had learnt in
my childhood, but I did not lose the love of
learning; indeed I never lost it, and, as long
as I live, 1 shall never forget the evening
when a drunken miller came into the shop.
He wus the son of a Protestant clergyman in
a village near Teterow, and had xlmost concluded his studies at the Gymnasium when
he was expelled on nccountof his bad conduct. To punish him for this, his father
made him learn the trade of a miller. Dissatisfied with his lot, the young man gave
himself up to drink, which however had not
made him forget his Homer; for he recited
to us about one hundred lines of the poet,
observing the rhythmic cadence. Although
I did not understand a word, the melodious
speech made n deep impression upon me,
and i wept bitter tears for my unhappy fate.
Thrice I got him to repeat to me those godlike verses, paying him with three glasses of
brandy, which I bought with the lew pence
that made up my whole fortune. From that
moment I never ceased to pray God that by
His grace I might yet have the happiness to

were shipwrecked in a fearful storm off the
island of Texel. After innumerable dangers,
the crew were saved. 1 regarded it as my
destiny to remain in Holland, and resolved
lo go to Amsterdam and enlist as a soldier.
But this could not be done as quickly as 1
had imagined, and the few florins, which 1
had collected as alms on the island of Texel
and in Enkhuyzen, were soon spent in Amsterdam. As my means of living were entirely exhausted, I feigned illness and was
taken inio the hospital. From this terrible
situation I was released by the kind shipbroker J. F. Wendt of Hamburg, who heard
of my mislortune and sent me the proceeds
of a small subscription which hud been raised
for me. He at the same time recommended
me to the excellent Consul-General of the
North German Confederation in Amsterdam,
Mr. W. Hepner, who procured me u situation in the office of IVlr. F. C. Quien.
In my new situation my work consisted
in stamping bills of exchange and getting
them cashed in the town, and in carrying
letters to and from the post-office. This
mechanical occupation suited me, for it left
me time to think of my neglected education.
First of all 1 took pains to learn to write
legibly, nntl then, in order to improve my
position, I went on to the study of the modern languages. My annual salary amounted
only to 800 francs ('321.), half of which I
spent upon my studies ; on the other half I
lived, miserably enough to be sure. My
lodging, which cost 8 francs a month, was a
wretched garret wiihout a fire, where I shivered with cold in winter and was scorched
with the heat in summer; my breakfast consisted of rye-meal porridge, and my dinner
never cost more than a penny farthing But
nothing spurs one on more to study than
misery and the certain prospect of being able
to release oneself from it by unremitting
work. 1 applied myself with extraordinary
diligence to the study of English. Necessity
showed me a method which greatly facilitates the study of a language. This method
consists in reading a great deal aloud, without making a translation ; devoting one hour
every day to wr ting essays upon subjects
that interest ope. correcting these under a
teacher's supervision, learning them by heart,
and repeating iq the next lesson what was
corrected on the previous day. My memory
was bad, since from my childhood it had not
been exercised upon any object; but I made
use of every moment, and even stole time
for stiidy. I never went on my errands,
even in the rain, without having my book in
my hand and learning something by heart;
and I never waited at the post-office without
reading. By such means I gradually
learn Greek.

"THE OLD SOUTH."
This old Puritan Church of Boston lias become one of the most interesting historic relics
of America. In sacred associations, connected
with scenes of Revolutionary memories, it
stands quite alongside with Faneuil Hall.
For some years, however, it has ceased to lie
frequented as a place for religious worship.
The '• New Old South " has arisen in the
growing and most fashionable part of Boston.
The question has been long under discussion, what shall be done with the Old
South" edifice? For some years it has
been the post-office of Boston, but no longer
being required for that purpose, the spirit of
trade and the desire to utilize so valuable a spot
as that upon which the building now 3tands,
have demanded that it should be sold, and
stores go up in its place. So strong has
been the pressure that a few days sirtce,t!te
Old South " was actually sold under the
auctioneer's hammer for less than $2,000.
The ruthless work of demolition had actually commenced. This was too much for Boslonians ! They could not see the building
crumbling before their eyes ! The Key. Mr.
Murray declares he wept over the sight! I
have no doubt others did the same. But
what was to be done ? " Love of gain,"
cares but little for tears of sentiment! An
enterprising firm of merchants, as a last
resort, proposed to give 8100,000 on certain
conditions, provided 8300,000 could be
raised, the sum sufficient to buy the premises. Seven days of respite were obtained,
during which period a final appeal should
be made to the public; of course Boston
now must bring forth her most eloquent orators to address the people. A public meeting
was convened within the walls of the 'sacred'
edifice on the 14th of June, at 12 noon. It
was my privilege to be present with the
dense throng filling ground-floor and galleries of the building. Ii was worth a visit to
America, to visit the " Old South " on such
an occasion.
"
"
a
The historic Past stood pleading with the
Progressive Spirit of the Age. The sentiments uttered on that occasion found expression from the lips of America's most
finished orator, Wendell Phillips, and perhaps the most eloquent pulpit orator of New
England, the Rev. W. H. H. Murray. From
these eloquent appeals I shall quote a few
passages :
After referring to Bunker Hill, the old
North Church and the revolutionary monuments, Mr. Phillips said that it was the work
of men and the mechanics of Boston that
made the Green Dragon so famous. (Applause.) The consecration that the Puritans
gare to these walls, to Christ and the church
in 1729 is annulled. The ark of Qod has

sought a new and perhaps a better shelter,
but these walls received as sincere consecration when Adams and Otis dedicated them
to liberty. (Cheers and applause.) We
don't come here to save the walls that have
echoed to the prayers of Cotton and Prince
and Eckley and the early saints of the colony. We come here to save the walls that
echoed the sublime thought of Quincy when
he said " No matter where nor how nor
for what cause, I mean to die a free man
and not a slave!" (Applause.)
These
arches will echo as long as they stand with
this sublime and sturdy religious enthusiasm
of Adams, with the unequaled eloquence of
Otis, with Warren in his young genius and
enthusiasm. I will not say it is a noble consecration, I will not say that it is a better
use ; I only say we come here to save what
our fathers consecrated to the great memories of the greatest struggle that the race has
ever seen for the liberties of man. (Applause.)
You spend half a million for a school
house. What school so eloquent as these
walls to educate citizens ? Napoleon turned
his great Simplon road aside to save a tree
C&ssar had once mentioned. Won't you turn
a street or spare a quarter of an acre to remind boys what sort ol men their fathers
were? Think twice before you touch these
walls. We are only the world's trustees;
the Old South no more belongs to us •Hum
Luther's or Hampden's or Brutus' name does
to Germany, England or Borne. Each and
all are held in trust as torchlights and inspiration for any man struggling for justice or
ready to die for truth. What does Boston
mean? Since 1630 the living fibre running
through history and owning that name,
means jealousy of power, unlettered speech,
keen sense of justice, readiness to champion
any good cause; that is the Boston Land
suspected and North hated and the Negro
loved. If you destroy the scenes which perpetuate that Boston, then rebaptize her Cotton town or Shoeville. Don't belittle these
memories ; they lie long hid, but only to
grow stronger. You mobbed John Brown
meetings in 1860 and seemed to have forgotien liirn in 1861. but the boys in blue
led by that very mob, wearing epaulets,
inarched fiom State street to the Gulf because John Brown's " soul was moving on "
—that and the flag, only two " sentiments "
led the ranks.
Mr. Phillips then referred to the action of
the city in reference to the Jonathan Phillips fund, and said that if Mayor Quincy
could come lack he would rather have it expended for the saving of the Old South than
in erecting a statue to his memory.
Mr. Phillips closed as follows : Shelter
the mechanics under the foof; consecrate it
in its original form to a grand public use for
the common run of the people, the bone and
muscle. It will be the normal school of
politics. (Applause.) It will be the best
civil reform agency that the Republican
party can adopt and put into execution today. (Applause.)
The influences that linger in these old
walls will forbid those men to be the tools
of corruption or of tyranny, and at last in
their hands 1 shall go to my grave knowing
that neither need, greed, nor the- necessity
of wider streets, will t-ver desecrate wlr.it
:
Adams and Warren and Otis consecrated to
the liberties of man. (Applause.)
'• The Chairman then introduced the Rev.
W. H. H. Murray, who said Gentlemen
of Boston—l have read of a custom in
heathen lands, where after the feast and the
joy were ended they served up a human
sacrifice, and I feel that perhaps you have
feasted to your fill, until the cup of your joy
runs over, and you are ready for a sacrifice,
for you know that a man might as well die
oratorically as speak after Phillips. Mr.
Murray said that the Chairman had requested him to speak with special reference to the
money aspect of the case. He impressed
upon his hearers the necessity of work if
they would save the old building. The
question of values comes in to lie considered
in this meeting. You are a jury of appraisement. The great and living question
which comes before us is : Is this building
worthy of preservation ? There is no value
in anything material save as it benefits mankind ; and the measures of value is the
healthy, educational, salutary and sublime
influence which it has upon those who use
it. Unless this building can be utilized for
the benefit of the people it is belter that it
should go. The speaker claimed that it was
the spiritual and not the material which
made the value of a city, for a city which
possesses only material things may be swept
from the face of the earth. Mr. Murray
spoke of the destruction of ancient, historic
structures in Boston, and showed the extent
to which their absence would be felt in
future in emergencies. He said that he had
heard many suggestions concerning the use
to which the building should be put, and he
expressed his satisfaction with them all, Ins
only restriction being that it should not lie
prolaned by low uses. He thought that it
should be made a Westminster Abbey,
where future generations might come to
gaze upon the portraits of the founders of
the nation."
The above brief sketch of Rev. Mr. Murray's address 1 quote from the Boston Morning Journal of June 15th, but can give the
reader only a faint idea of the address as a
whole. He was truly eloquent, and 1 thought
aa much so as Mr. Phillips Mr. Murray is
a man of fine physical development and
great vital powers, now in the very youth of
his popularity as an eloquent pulpit orator,
attracting vast crowds every Sabbath.
I listened to those two gifted speakers
with an intense interest. The old building.
Revolutionary associations, the old sounding board" suspended by a rope over the
platform, the defaced walls, the noise of the
streets, the shouting and clamorous crowd,
the presence of the ladies in the galleries,
and many other attending circumstances, all
contributed to mnke the occasion one to be
long remembered.
Before the meeting closed, the announcement was made that funds had already been
pledged, partially sufficient to purchase the
building. An organization was formed and
officers chosen.

THE TREATY.
Most heartily we congratulate planters, merchants, and all others interested in the passage ol
the treaty, whether residing on the islands or in
America. Long has been the struggle to accomplish the negotiation. It is good twenty years
since Judge Lee went to Washington on his mission, and was then confident of success. He has
been followed by Judge Allen, Judge Harris,

Dikiei. |Hi I Many shall run to and fro ; and knowledge
shall be increased."
For some of the most vivid and truthful
descriptive pen-pictures of the passing age
we must turn to the writings of the old
Hebrew prophets. They were most marvelously inspired to unfold and portray scenes
and events which would occur thousands of
years after they had passed away. Standing
on the mount of prophetic vision, they
glanced with unerring ken far down the
vista of coming centuries. The future was
then present to their entranced minds. They
doubtless saw and described events which
they could not fully comprehend. In some-
visited Washington, we can appreciate
the trying and perplexing work which has been
accomplished. In the final passage of the treaty,
we can well imagine that Judge Allen, the Hon.
Mr. Sargent and others mußt have worked with
much skill and wisdom. All honor to those wbo
have rendered a helping hand.

increased." The prophet's eye seems to
have swept the horizon and caught a glimpse
of the kingdoms of the world, and the inhabitants of the same, as they are now running to and fro and increasing in knowledge.
Some are inclined to imagine that crime and
dishonesty, anarchy and misrule, are the
predominant features of the passing age.
There is much over which the eye of pity
may weep, and which causes a blush of
shame, yet there are brighter views which
may be taken, and such as are most hopeful
and encouraging.
Although passing rapidly from city to
city, spending only a day or a Sabbath in
one place, yet I have been striving to learn
what are some of the great lessons which
God, in His wonder-working providences,
was now teaching the church and the world.
God is acting and working through human
society and human organizations. I cannot
for one moment doubt but that God is controlling and guiding this vast and complicated mechanism of the world's affairs. lam
coming more and more to view human
society as one vast organism, animated by
the spirit of God, or under His supreme
control. Human society is not a dead and
inert mass, but a living, throbbing, pulsating
body, each member of which is acting his
part, and most responsible part to a great
end. We are not separated and isolated
atoms resembling grains of sand only touching each other externally, but connected
together by many links,, bands and ligatures.
During the months which have elapsed
since I left the islands, and until my return,
I have endeavored to be a close observer of
passing events. I have enjoyed rare opportunities for seeing a gathering of the nations
around one of the most, or perhaps I may
say, the most remarkable exhibition of the
skill, labor and genius of the world which
was ever made. There ha-fc been in former
times exhibitions of a nation's growth and
wealth. It has appeared what one nation
could achieve, or had accomplished, but now
the nations of the world have made an eflort
to exhibit the world's standing.
What now are some of the great lessons
taught by this immense gathering and herculean effort to exhibit the products of the
various nations of the earth ? Although
this exhibition has occurred in America, and
upon American soil, yet it is most strictly
an international aflpir. I cannot view this

merely materialistic, mechanical, mercenary—God, as well as man,
has a hand in this movement. It has bearings upon the church and the cause of truth,
while even I cannot but.view it with reference to its remote bearings and effect upon
the great missionary question, a question inferior to no other which can be contemplated
by the human mind. Most questions which
vast exhibition ns
absorb the thoughts and occupy the minds
of men, are of a transitory and temporary
nature, but this question of missions touches
the world in its most essential and important
points, and extends forward in its far reaching results to the end of the world, ami the
consummation of all things.
CENTENNIAL
AMD KNOWLEDGE.
The first thought to which I would now
call your attention is this, that during this
Centennial year there is to be n vast increase of useful knowledge among the
nations of the earth. The Centennial
Exposition is now accomplishing this most
desirable result. Thousands and hundreds
of thousands will leave their homes and
trnvel this year, who never before imagined
that it was possible for them to go beyond
the smoke ascending from their hearth-stones.
This is true, not only of Americans, but of
a multitude of visitors and tourists from
Europe, Australia, India, China, Japan and
the islands of the sea. From the day these
visitors leave their homes in remote parts
of the world until their return, they'are
gathering up useful knowledge which they
will take back with them to be diffused
abroad among their neighbors and friends.
After this manner, knowledge—scientific,
literary, historicaland religious—is to be most
marvelously increased. This knowledge, in
due time, will be utilized and made subservient in a thousand ways to benefit and
ameliorate human society. No one sight is
more common in all the grounds and buildings, from day to day, than the great
number of persons taking down notes ond
recording their impressions. Many are
doing this for private reference, and others
for publication ; but all in order that they
may return home freighted with useful information which is to become a matter of
conversation in numberless family-circles
and neighborhoods throughout the wide
world. How wonderfully will be increased
in this way the range of topics upon which
men, women and children will hereafter
converse. The tone of conversation will
naturally become more varied, elevated and
profitable. Every department of human
invention is to be discussed, until much
more useful information permeates the common mind and all ranks in society. Different visitors will compare notes and draw
inferences whiiA will become part of the
amount of human knowledge.
SABBATH QUESTION.
SKPI E M I E It,
ings upon the Sabbath. This led to a public
discussion of the Sabbath question throughout the United States. The enemies arid
friends of the Sabbath and Christianity were
aroused. No subject has interested the
minds of so many people throughout the
country for a long time. The opponents
were confident of success, and the friends of
the Sabbath, virtue, morals and Christianity
were tremblingly nnxious for the result,
because of the strong appeals which were
made to the public and the Directors by the
enemy. For a season, it renlly seemed
doubtful which way the vote would be cast.
Much earnest prayer was offered in private
nnd public, that God's law might be sustained. The time came for the final vote to
be taken, which was done by delegates
voting according to the States of the Union
which they represented. The final vote
stood three to one for closing the grounds
upon the Sabbath. It was a grand and glorious triumph for the Bible and the right. It
silenced that foolish and untruthful clamor
that the enemies of the Sabbath had kept
up, that the people demanded the opening of
the Centennial " upon the Sabbath. The
"
people demanded no such thing. The hearts
of the jieople of America are right upon the
Sabbath question, and many other moral and
religious questions, which the enemies of
truth and righteousness are trying to break
down and over-ride.
A report of this decision is to go abroad
to other nations; it will strengthen the
hands and cheer the heart of every missionary in heathen lands,—in India, China,
Africa and the islands of the sea. Unless
we can retain the Sabbath and its observance, farewell to true religion and a pure
Christianity. The people must have a day
for holy rest. God gave the world a Sabbath—a day of holy rest; let us not throw
away the rich legacy. The importance of
this decision cannot be overestimated ; it is
a victory on the grand moral battle field of
the nations. Most proudly has the banner
of Christianity been made to float over America. It will be recognized in foreign lands,
and knowledge ol the Christian religion will
thereby be increased and spread abroad. It
was cunningly and falsely argued that the
Sabbath was the poor man's day for rest and
leisure, hence the centennial grounds and
buildings should be thrown open on the Sabbath as on other days of the week Never
was a more false and erroneous position assumed, and the common sentiment of Christians of all religious denominations has so
decided the question ; and most fortunately
the directors of the great centennial have
acted in harmony with this sentiment. I
am not sure but the manufacturer and owner
of the great engine in the machinery building had some influence in the premises, for
he is reported to have said that if other parts

tarded the peaceful spread of the gospel and
the reign of truth over the earth.
CENTENNIAL AND EDUCATION.
The second marked feature of the centennial, to which I would call attention, is the
great prominence given to etlneutional
nnd
affairs. Nations, states, cities,eachtowns
other to
individuals have vied with
render the centennial a success, and have
contributed books and every variety of skill
in penmanship, drawing and composition.
The State of Pennsylvania has erected a
large building almost exclusively devoted to
the cause of education. All the means and
appliances to lit up and equip a good school,
primary or high, are there on exhibition.
No one can fully estimate the vast amount
of useful knowledge which is thereby to be
diffused abroad, throughout America and
the wide world Teachers nnd educators
are there comparing notes and making there
observations. So prominent appeared this
feature of the centennial that it assumed the
appearance of a vast school in itself, nnd the
thousands of visitors were scholars resorting
thither to advance and promote their education. The great educational interests of the
world are to be elevated, promoted and ad-
vanced.
Furthermore I would remark that agriculture, mechanics, manufactures and the
fine arts arc so fully represented that the
condition of the world at large may be there
learned without visiting foreign nations.
England, France, Germany, and every nation of Europe;—Turkey, China, Japan,
Brazil, and many other remote nations have
brought their choicest productions. Africa,
Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii have
come forward with their respective quotas,
so that the centennial is one great international exposition of the world's progress.
Knowledge will thereby be increased in all
the various and numerous departments of
industry and the arts.
CENTENNIAL
AND MISSIONS.
I shall be much disappointed if the
missionary enterprise is noi vastly promoted by this gathering of the representatives of all nations. As visitors
from the remote parts of the world return, they will have much to report respecting the cause of true Christianity.
Will not the visitors from Japan, China, &c,
go back wiser men? The influence of the
Bible and the Christian religion will hereafter find many to speak in their behalf, who
have hitherto been silent. In one part of
the grounds was a Bible depository, where
the sacred scriptures, in over one hundred
different languages, could be obtained.
There could be seen the mighty impulse
which the missionary enterprise had given
to the world. These various translations
had in very many instances, been made by
the missionaries. To the thoughtful and reflective mind, here was the mighty engine
which moves the world. In the machinery
building there was a mighty steam engine
built in Providence, R. 1., to which I have
already referred. It was reported as the
largest engine in the world. Often as I
walked through that department, I was impressed with its stately and grand movement. The vast and complicated machinery
of the whole building wns propelled by this
�i in;

one great engine. The idea was grand, and
the result wonderfully satisfactory. Passing
from this department and visiting the little
modest edifice where bibles were sold and
given away, I beheld a source of moral
power vastly more grand and magnificent
than any display of mechanical forces urged
forward by steam. Blind and exceedingly
stupid it appears to me must be that man,
who does not recognize the Bible as the
great source of moral power in America and
the world. It has made America, Germany
and England superior to all other nations in
their systems of government, education and
whatever contributes to a nation's true grandeur and nobility. When this fact is duly
set forth and carefully considered, it appears
to me the cause of missions and true religion
will have a momentous impetus given to
them by this centennial exposition. With
the increase of every species of knowledge,
but particularly knowledge relating to morals, education, and true religion, the world is
to be lifted up to a higher plane. It is to
be made more and more manifest that knowledge is power, and that ignorance is the
foundation of much of the misery, crime and
sorrow which now afflict the nations; hence
efforts will hereafter be more energetically
put forth to remove ignorance and counteract the evils which exist among the nations,
and on the other hand truth and whatever
tends to promote virtue and good morals,
will be encouraged. 'Ihe cause of true religion will thereby be wonderfully advanced.
prayer, saying, " Our Father," we do thereby include within this petition every dweller
upon the earth. Does the simple word our
include merely the members of our own
family, neighborhood, village, town, city,
state, nation ? No, certainly not; but it embraces all of our fellow men, to whatever
nation or tribe they may belong. The whole
human race forms but one great family, of
which God is the Father—He is "Our
Father in heaven." This idea is quite too
much ignored and lost sight of I think, the
tendency of the great gathering at the Centennial will be to bring into marked prominence this forgotten sentiment.
CENTENNIAL AND CHRISTIAN UNION.
of many other exhibits. Hereafter the Australian Colonies, the Kingdom of Hawaii,
China, Japan and other nationalities arc to
be made known and appreciated. Americans
and Europeans are quite too much possessed
with the idea that because they are great in
armies and navies, they are vastly superior to
other nations ; but they will learn that all
the taste, culture, refinement, talent, skill
and ability are not exclusively confined to
Anglo-Saxons. I honestly think the great
Centennial will tend to take the conceit—
self-conceit—from Americans and Europeans.
II so, much real good will be the result.
Visitors will goto their homes in America,
Europe, Asia, Africa anil the islands of the
sea, wiser and better men—more humble,
more sensible, more appreciative of others,
more conscious of their own defects and
short comings, and more aware of the good
qualities in the characters of others. Travel
is said to liberalize nnd refine a man. Now
this greut Centennial gathering will have
this result upon an enlarged scale. The
friends of every department of science,
knowledge, invention and improvement are
awake. During this season there have been
held special conventions for the discussion
of every important subject. The friends of
temperance have had their convention, so
also have literary men—authors have had
their special gathering. Physicians have
come together to compare their notes. On
the very last day of my stay in Philadelphia
I visited Old Independence Hall, where the
Declaration of Independence was originally
signed, and where the Fourth of July exercises were this year held, and there I found
crowds of visitors; and in Carpenter's Hall,
near by, was convened a Peace Congress or
Convention, where the evils of war were
A"uiti 1 would remark. There is certainly
a tendency in our day to bring all true and
evangelical Christians into greater harmony.
The centennial has done and is now doing
much in this very line. As Christians of
the various parts of the land and the world
come to understand each other better, they
will be found to be more free, open and cordial in their fellowship and intercouse. The
more Christian intercourse is promoted and
encouraged, the less manifest will appear
those divisions and sectarian party prejudices
which have for so many ages alienated the
friends of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ.
Already the Centennial has done much
to bring the North and South together. It is
quite impossible for those living in the South
and the North to meet together on the Centennial grounds and not part better friends.
Both parties will return to their homes with
more kindly feelings towards each other.
What is true of the inhabitants of different
parts of America is still more true of those
coming from remote parts of the wide world.
God " hath made of one blood all nations of
men for to dwell on nil the face of the earth,
and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation;
that they would seek the Lord, if haply
they might feel after Him and find Him,
though He be not far from every one of us."
Every movement then in the line of bringing the nations together and inducing them
to become better acquainted with each other
is good, and it ought to be encouraged. All
are members of the one great family, and
all may offer the same prayer and say,
which art in heaven." When
"we,Ouror Father
our fellow Christians, dilTcring from
us in color, nationality and sect, offer this
CENTENNIAL AND FRATERNIZATION AMONG
NATIONS.*
Finally, this gathering is to have a
good influence in promoting a better ac-
quaintance among the members of various
nationalities, and will lead to a more full
appreciation of each other. The Apostle
Paul exhorts to " honor all men." Now we
have come to despise some men and some
races, Chinese nnd African. This is wrong.
Man is to be respected and honored, because
he is a man—a fellow member of the
human race,—a candidate for eternity.
Nationalities are brought into prominence
about which but little was known by the
generality of Americans and Europeans.
How few have heard of Orange Free State
of Africa ? Yet as one enters the Main

denounced and the blessings of Peace
advocated.
All these conventions, gatherings, meet-
ings and discussions cannot but result in
much good to the cause of education, good
morals, advancement of science, invention,
and true religion throughout the wide world.
The nations of the earth are coming to understand each far better than formerly. The
force of public opinion is becoming felt all
over the world. As many run to and fro
and knowledge is increased', the world ut
large is vastly benefitted. It Will be more
and more apparent that if one nation suffers,
other nations will experience the effects.
Nations must now come together, they Annot remain separate and isolated. The old
and exclusive policy of China and Japan has
forever passed away* England and America
have compelled those nations to join the
great family of nations, and treatieshave been
formed with them. Now, shall America draw back from this advanced position,
because the Chinese come to us with their
peculiar civilization and customs ? Revolutions, it is said, go not backward; neither
can the progress of the age be retarded.
America and Europe need India, Chinti,
Japan, as much as those nations need
Europe and America. Then over all,
who can for one moment doubt that God in
His wise Providence is now overruling
events occurring among these nations, for
His own glory and the advancement of the
Kingdom of Christ. I have already referred
to the prophetical sayings of Isaiah, but
those of another arc suggested to mind.
"Thus saith the Lord," by the prophet
Ezekiel, "exalt him that is low and abase
him that is high. I will overturn, overturn,
overturn it, and it shall be no more; until
he come whose right it is, and I will give it
him." Is not God doing this very thing
during this centennial year? God is now
overturning and revolutionizing among the
nations of the earth and preparing the way
for the final coming of His Son. To this
grand and sublime result tend all the converging lines of Old and New Testament
prophecy; to this end tend all the revolutions ami wars among the nations of the
earth; to this end tend all the advances
made in science and knowledge ; to this end
tend all the efforts of Christians and philanthropists, for the amelioration of the condition of the human race ; to this end tend the
labors and toils of missionaries and all evangelistic agents throughout the Christian snd
heathen world. This running to and fro—
this increase of knowledge—is all under the
wise control of that all-wise and almighty
Being, who originally created the universe
and has sustained it throughout the long
ages of eternity past and who will continue
to uphold it throughout the never-ending
ages yet to come.

Three Days In Washington.
Monday morning, July 17, 1876.
My fust visit to this city was in 1851,but
since that date a full quarter of a century
has passed, so far as time is concerned, and
touching changes and improvements, it may
be said a century has passed over the city.
In former times and days of slavery, this
was a portion of the United States completely under Southern rule. The old jail is still
standing, where slaves were imprisoned
en
route to the markets of the South. Such a
state of alTuirs was of course a burning
shame and living disgrace to a nation boast-
ing that it was " the land of the free." With
the fierce tornado of war, a new Washington has arisen. Formerly it was one of the
most ill-managed and poorly conducted cities
of the Union, but now, in the words of one
of the Representatives with whom 1 was recently conversing, " Washington is the best
paved, best lighted, best sewered, best managed, and becoming one of the most beautiful cities of the Union and the world." It is
no longer spoken of as the city of " magnificent distances " and " open spaces," but is
rapidly filling up with beautiful residences,
pleasant homes and magnificent public buildings. The " State Department " is now going up, and built of granite. Other public
edifices would be an ornament to the capital
of any great nation.
The next day after my arrival, I visited
both Houses of Congress which were in session, and also the Congressional Library of
300,000 volumes. The business before.the
Senate related to the currency question, but
there sat ex-Secretary Belknap awaiting his
trial! In the "House" I could with difficulty learn the exact nature of the question
under discussion, but the speaker strove hard
to keep the members in order ! Having once
been permitted to visit the Houses of Parliament in London, I could not but take a lively interest in viewing the assembled wisdom
of America as contrasted with that of the
mother country. "Comparisons are said to
be odious," so I'll say no more upon this
topic.
In visiting the Treasury Department I was

bank-note engravers of New York, while the
faces are nil printed, stamped and signed in
the Treasury Department. "Greenbacks"
are printed in New York, but the " bright
faces " in Washington !
Saturday, July 15, I devoted to Mount
Vernon. A nice little steamer, the Arrow,
runs daily between Washington and the
spot so much cherished and reverenced by
all Americans and multitudes of visitors
from foreign lands. I found the " home"

can fully endorse the sentiment of Edward
Everett, who did so much to preserve Mount
Vernon from utter dilapidation, and secure
the sacred spot as a rich legacy to future
and patrigenerations of American
ots. "A visit," remarks Everett, "to the
national capital is but half made unless it
includes the home and tomb of Washington."
With the dawn of the quiet Sabbath morning came an abatement of the intense heat
which has for so many days, like the blast
of a furnace, prostrated so many in all parts
of the country, but especially in the cities.
As 1 was a stranger in the city and unacquainted with the numerous preachers, I
concluded to visit the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, not to see the President who worships there, for 1 had read in
the papers that he was out of the city, but
to listen to the gey. Dr. Newman, whose
fame as a preacher, author, and traveler
have become world-wide. I was not disappointed, as he occupied the pulpit of the
church that morning. I cannot refrain from
expressing my admiration of the preacher's
great naturalness. In reading a hymn, passages of the Bible and the delivery of the
sermon, his tones of voice and gestures were
the most natural, I may remark,which I
ever witnessed in a pulpit orator. From the
beginning to the end of the service there was
nothing "stilted." His text was from the
epistle of Timothy, "Godliness is profitable," &c. To the sermon 1 listened with
intense interest, for it appeared to be admirably suited to a wearied, tired and anxious
audience, yet full of ambition and desire for
wortlly gain.
Before the public service 1 stepped into
the Sabbath school and heard some good
singing. While standing at the door a lady
kindly addressed me, inferring that I was a
stranger, and doubtless inferring that the
of a stranger" in any place is open
" heart
to sympathy, she kindly made arrangement
for the sexton to provide me a seat in the
church. To my surprise I learned that she
was the pastor's wife,—Mrs. Newman.
Dr. Newman has just prepared a new volume of travels, relating to a part of his recent journey around the world. It is published by the Harpers and with this title,
Thrones and Palaces of Babylon and Nin"evah."
The dedication of the volume to his
beloved wife is in the following words:
" To her who was the choice of my youth,
who accompanied me in my tour around the
world, whose love of the beautiful, apprecia
lion of the antique and enthusiasm in exploring, were to me a perpetual inspiration, this
volume is affectionately inscribed "
In the afternoon it was my privilege to
accompany Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Newman,
abott four miles out of the city, to the
United States Insane Hospital, where he delivered a lecture to the inmates upon Palestine, but especially upon Jerusalem and its
environs. Such a mode of address to those
whose minds were sad and disordered, seemed
in the highest degree appropriate.
While in Washington it was my privilege
to meet some whose acquaintance had been
formed at Houolulu, nnd among the number
were Mr. and Mrs NordhofT. They retain

1873, and they assured me it would give
them much pleasure to return and cast their

During my visit, and while a boarder at
the Arlington Hotel, where Judge Allen is
stopping, I enjoyed frequent opportunities to
converse with him and others, respecting the
prospects of the Treaty. I find that there
is
strong opposition, but Judge Allen
appears to be managing the affair with skill
and ability. It is no pleasant or desirable
undertaking to engineer a business of this
nature, but requires great patience, tact and
shrewdness, for Senators and Representatives are masterly inactive," except when
pushing some measure intimately concerning
themselves and their constituents.

speak and work by their heavenly commission or they do not speak and work at all
with any success. St. Paul when his sight
was restored, waited for no earthly license,
but bearing his credentials with him in his
changed life and unselfish appeals, began at
once to speak for the Master. Many since
have followed his example and have been
blessed in so doing. Wesley did a larger
work thiin if the church of England had per-'
nutted him to work under their routine.
Moody's field is wider from the very fact
that he looks to no one denomination for
position or privilege but is free to work
with all.
We suppose that the different denominational arrangements for examining candidates for the clergy, and ticketing as safe
teachers, those who have carefully learned
their lessons, have some advantages of practical utility, but these are so slight, that we
confess to something of a quandary in the
effort to decide whether they are worth while
in the face of the sectarianism and weak
mental dependence which such processes
tend to produce.
The world moves slowly, and we on this
western margin of it, follow at a still slower
pace. We never think here of varying the

universe have a relation to each other.
Whoever looks at those relative movements
marks time. The only sensible "eternal
now " philosophy is Ithat ever the present is
God's time for planning and working.
Relatively to other things certain acts are
done and past, so that you can say that " in
the beginning," or further back than you can
think, God did so and so.
But not everything done by God was then
done; and there is no reason to suppose that
everything was then planned.
God did some things once. He is doing
other things now.
The Savior said, " My Father works up
to this time." God is constantly working.
He initiates and maintains as much now as
at any time.
Why is it dishonorable•*> him to suppose
that he is constantly planning as well as
working?
Where is the degradation to Deity to suppose that his thought is as fresh as his deed?
One may posit fore-ordination as a speculation, but as dogma it is abominable.
Who knows enough of the Divine Mind
to assert that that is the way of its working
—no, rather, the way it once worked ?
The only admirable thing about fore-ordination as dogma is its audacity.
It does violence to our religious instincts
in relegating the activity of God to past
time. It is not a definition of the Divine
Mind, but its epitaph. It says not. Dens est,
but IJeus fti'tt.
It is not in keeping with the facts of the
universe. Something new is always and
everywhere appearing. It may appear o*.i
the base of the old, but is new for all that.
The appearance of the new increment is
creation ever. The facts probably are that as
much that is new has appeared to-day as ever
came forth at any moment in the history of
the universe. The new of to-day demands
as fresh a pulsation of the Divine Will to
bring it forth as the new of any beginning.
The goings forth of the Almighty are not
only "of old," but forever.
To-morrow will be as new and fresh a
day as the earth has seen. To-morrow the
morning stars will sing together and t'"?

endorsed the sentiment, that it is not only
upon bread that men live, " but upon every
word that proceedeth out of the mouth of
God." Deut., 8:3. Matthew, 4:4, " Man
has both a spiritual and a physical nature."
Bread will support his physical, but spiritual
food is requisite for his spiritual nature.
Many starve their spiritual nature while
feeding their physical, hence the importance
of quickening and sustaining schools and
churches, and enlightening the minds of the
people with Bible truths.

Effects of Reciprocity.—Reports of the
sale of sugar plantations, ranches and city
lots, indicate that the effects of the Treaty
are felt in the rise of real estate and quickening of trade. Never was a small community treated v. ith more generosity than the
inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands have
been, by the Congress of the United States.
The good influence of the Treaty will not
alone be confined to the islands, but California, Oregon and Washington Territory will
be favorably affected. The greater our island products of sugar, rice and other commodities, so much larger will be the amount
of American products brought hither. Our
planters will at first be more largely benefitted than any other class, but they cannot
be made rich withoutthe community at large
receiving a quickening impulse.

Japanese Students in Oregon.
From the Pacific of August 17th we clip
the following :
At the late commencement exercises of
Pacific University, at Forest Grove, Oregon,
the graduates numbered six. Three of them
were Japanese. These attracted considerable attention. One of them finished the
regular course, and the other two graduated
in the scientific department. They have
been here six years, and two of them were
for a time among the number who were supported by the Japanese Government; but
when that government called its young men
home from America, withdrawing all support, they remained at their own expense.
These came from noble families, one having
been an army officer, wiih 20 servants in bis
house. When they came here they went
into families as servants, and remained so a
part of the time, partly to be more economical in the expense of obtaining an English
education, and partly to more thoroughly
learn American manners and customs.
When tbey first came, some of the people
looked down on them, and at times treated
them rudely; but they stood on their dignity,
and have gained tbe respect of all classes.
They have shown themselves to be scholars
and thinkers, or, as one of the other scholars said before commencement, " they are
going to make us American boys ashamed of
ourselves." Their orations showed that they
were thinking about Japan and their future
work there. One of them has become a

Jesus.
Dear Fribnd—l recently spent a few
days at Kiyoto, the old metropolis of Japan,
and stronghold of Budhism, and will tell
you a little of what I saw, especially the
gates. The gate is often spoken of in the
Bible as a matter of importance, both public
and private. They are often, even at the
entrance to private dwellings, quite expensive ; at the temples and palaces, still more
so, and doubtless at the walled cities of the
east, extremely so ; being erected to shut out
enemies.
In Isaiah, 45:2, and Psalm 107:16, we
read of Gates of brass and iron.' Such
gates could not be burned by enemies, when
they * Turned the battle to the gate,'—
'
Isaiah, 29:6.
Perhaps a brief description of those which
I saw may aid a little in understanding what
is said in the Bible concerning gates. They
generally had but two posts, which were
from 12 inches to 24 inches in diameter,
and they were united by a beam or bar,
and either on the posts or on the ends of
this bar, and at right angles to it, two other
beams projecting each way according to the
siae of the roofs, and on the ends of these
two others parallel with the bar; thus making a square or an oblong foundation for the
roof. It is covered with tiles, but first with
thin shingles, then a slight coat of mortar,
which seems to hold the tiles in their place,
and when finished, resembles the roof of a
house; and occasionally there is a considerable amount of carved work on it. Some of
the larger ones had four posts, one at each
corner; and under the roof of which, I suppose, 50 or 60 persons could be well seated.
That may have been similar to that at
which Boaz sat down to negotiate for Ruth,
so also the king's gate in which Mordecai
sat and would not bow to proud Haman. I
suppose the gate of Gaza, which Samson
took, doors and all, having broken or pulled
up the posts and carried it all up to the hill
top at Hebron—either had no roof, or it was
higher from the bar than those which I saw,
far otherwise it would have interfered with
his head. But. without the roof, and with
the bar on his shoulder, he could move as
freely as a Hawaiian with his load on his
shoulder.
Solomon says,' He that exalth his gate,
seeketh destruction.' On this a good writer
says,' That men of rank in the Oriental
World sought distinction by building their
gate high, appears in the epithet given to
the monarch of Turkey, • the Sublime Port'
in plain English, the high gate.' Would
that this self-exalting spirit were confined
to.the east. It creeps out sadly everywhere,
Although Kiyoto is not properly open to
Christianity, yet that has got a foothold, and
will, I trust, keep it.
Through Mr. Neesima, a pious Japanese,
of whom you may have heard, the government has consented that a scientific school
should be opened here, and that three missionaries, besides Mr. Neesima, should assist
in teaching in it; and though the Bible is
not allowed in the school, yet in their
dwellings they teach and preach just as
they please.
The Sabbath which I spent there it was
thought that 400 persons heard the Gospel
in the houses of the missionaries,—ten of
these hearers are thought to be Christians.
Yours in Christ,

Letter from Pitcairn's Island.
January 24th, 1876.
Rev. Mr. Damon :— The arrival of H. M.
S. Peterel on the 22d of this month was
greeted by us with unfeigned pleasure, as
we have not seen a British man-of-war since
the visit of the Cameleon in 1873. Your
letter was most welcome as showing that
you have not entirely forgotten your humble
friends, the Pitcairn Islanders. And we on
our part, are happy to feel that in you, dear
sir, we have a friend. We herewith send
our grateful thanks for the reading matter
you sent us,—so completely shut out from
the world. Your most valuable paper, the
Friend, is always welcome. As to general
news of the outside world, we are kept
pretty well informed by the merchant vessels
which occasionally pass this way.
Twice since last hearing from you we
have aided (all in our power) shipwrecked
seamen, the first being the crew of the Cornwallis, which was wrecked on the island
just a year ago, and the second the crew of
the Khandeish, who were wrecked on Oeno
Island, and in their boats landed amongst us
on the 29th September, 1875. Their stay
with us was prolonged to two months nearly, being taken away on the 19th November
by the ship Emerald, going back again to
San Francisco.
By the way, this brings us to the subject
of Captain Hutchinson's grave. He lies
buried near to the landing place of our little
island, close by the side of Captain Howland, who found his last resting place here
and was buried on the island in the year
1866. Only a simple stone marks the grave
of Captain Hutchinson, but be assured, dear
sir, that your request will be attended to
without fail.
Your sincere friends,
The Pitcairn Islanders.
Thursday O. Christian, Chief Magistrate.

Miss Bird a Traveler.
Many of our readers are only acquainted
with Miss Bird through the pages of a most
charming book, relating to the '• Hawaiian
Archipelago." In tho August number of
the London Deisure Hour just received, we
find an article from her facile pen entitled
" The Two Atlantics," giving a narrative of
her voyage to Australia in an immigrant
ship, when commencing her voyage of circumnavigation around the globe. Her visit
to our islands formed a part of that voyage.
In this same article, she alludes to having
crossed the Atlantic " eight times" and
coasting along North America " from Labrador to Florida;" then after returning
from her fourth trip to America, to a
health-seeking cruise of six months in a
"steamer
trading between the Mediterranean
and North American ports."
After leaving Honolulu she visited California, and spent some months in the wilds
of Colorado. Few ladies of the age have
traveled more extensively than Miss Bird.
Perhaps a certain American young lady,
Miss A.of Boston who visited our islands a
few months since, may erelong out-travel
this distinguished English lady. Miss A.
has already visited every state of the Union
(except Texas) including Oregon, and has
besides traveled extensively in Europe.
When bidding us "good-bye" a few days
ago at the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco, she was contemplating a fall trip to
South America, but had definitely decided
to spend the coming winter in Egypt. Both
these ladies travel alone.
Explorations in Cambodia.
On board the City of San Francisco,
during her last trip from San Francisco to
Honolulu, we had as fellow passenger a
French gentlemen, Mons. F. Ratte, destined
for New Caledonia in the service of the
French Government. He has of late been
employed in exploring the comparatively unknown regions of Cochinchina. In that
part of the world are immense ruins, which
are now attracting the attention of scientific
men and archaeologists. We were so much
interested in his account of these explorations,—his knowledge being derived from
personal observation while there in government employment as an explorer,—that we
requested him to note down a few points' of
interest. The following brief memoranda
will indicate the nature of those discoveries
and explorations:
The ancient kingdom of Cambodia, besides the actual Cambodia, occupied a great
part of the actual kingdom of Siam and
French Cochinchina.
In those territories covered by many insalubrious marshes are numerous ruins of
ancient religious and other monuments eon-
�THE FIMKMI, OCTO B E X,
cealed and lost in very thick forests and jungles, inhabited by elephants, buffalos, peacocks, monkeys and tigers. The most part
of these monuments were first built for the
worship of Brahma, but some of them of a
later age however show ornaments and characters of Budhic style. Their architecture
differs in some respects from that of the Indian monuments of Bengal. Narrow galleries, now frequented by many thousands of
bats, were then filled with processions of the
Brahmanists or Budhists, those galleries
crossing each other and conducting to a central sanctuary.
Mouhot, a French naturalist sent by England a few years ago fell a victim of the
dreadful '■ fever of the forests," speaks with
great enthusiasm of those monuments. About
ten years after Mouhot, extensive explorations were made by Commandant Doudart
dc Lagree (capita me dc fregate) who first
represented (1863-1866) the French Protectorate in Cambodia, and who was the regretted chief of the exploration of Mekong (1866
-1868). He became a victim, as Mouhot,
of the bad climate and died at the end of the
expedition in China (1868). In the year
1873 the French Government sent a scientific commission, whose chief was Mr. Louis
Delaporte (lieutenant dc vaisseau), who was
officer under Commandant Doudart dc Lagree in the first expedition of Mekong. The
members of the commission (1573) were:
Mr. Bouillet, hydrograph engineer, Dr. Harmand, marine surgeon (now explorating
Cambodia and Laos), Dr. Tullien, civil surgeon, as naturalists; Mr. Ratte, engineer, as
geologist; and attached to the commission,
Mr. Faraut, colonial engineer who directed
the works of drawing by our marine engineers, and whose collaboration was very
elaborate in that department.
The list of the monuments has been much
increased, und now we know about ninety or
nearly one hundred ancient monuments,
which Mr. le Comte dc Croizier has described in a book published at the suggestion of
the recent geographical congress in Paris.
This is a short notice of the specimens exhibited in the Museum of Coinpiegne, near
Paris, where are preserved the samples of
carved stones, columns, pilasters, Budhic
statues, bass-reliefs, and inscriptions that we
brought to Europe.
We have no time to describe those very
fine architectural works; let us say only
that many years will be necessary to put
down and publish all the plans, drawings,
inscriptions and descriptions that we have
gathered in that expedition, and that archaeologists are waiting for the interesting
work that Mr. Louis Delaporte is preparing
with the assistance of several of his com-

A Missionary Romance.
An American Marries the Daughter of
an Arab Sheik.
The Rev. Philip Berry, of Belchertown,
Mass., will soon publish a book relating a
true story of a young man's experience,
which will again prove truth stranger than
fiction. About twenty-five years ago a company of young men started out from Damascus for Jerusalem. They had not gone far
when a band of armed horsemen surrounded
them and ordered them to halt. The leader
of the band said the caravan might move on
unharmed if they would deliver up one of
their number, a young man named Randall,
who should not suffer if he would come
along with them peacefully. After a brief
consultation the terms were acceded to, and
the last look his companions had of him was
to see him mounted on a fine horse, attended
by the gay horsemen of the Bedouin Sheik
of the Le Arish tribe, which usunlly winter
in the neighborhood of Damascus, and in
the summer move south and east over the
great plain, seeking pasturage and water for
their flocks and herds. Where the escort
were to convey Randall he had no conception, but soon he found himself at the Sheik's
tent, and to his great surprise a magnificent
entertainment awaited him. With amazement he exclaimed, " What does this all
mean ?" Arzalia, the Sheik's daughter, had
seen the young man and fallen
passionately
in love
With him, and this was the wedding feast.
The young man and Arzalia were married
at once. There was no escape for Randall,
for his tent was faithfully guarded by night
and his person closely watched by day, lest
he should ,escape; and this guard was kept
over him for years. He seemed happy with
his unsought bride, for Arzalia proved her
love for him was more than mere fancy.
Children were born to them, and their domestic life was marked by kindness, courtesy
and true affection. Randall rapidly acquired
the Arabic language, his wife as readily
mastered the English, and they taught their
children both, which they speak readily.
Who was this Randall ? in the State of
New York lives his father, who has never
seen the face of his son. This father is
now over seventy years of age, and has a
history almost as romantic as that of his
son, for he was raised among the Indians
and has traveled over the Mississippi Valley
in search of fish and game. When he was
twenty-one years of age the chief advised
him to go to the white man (he was voluntarily among the Indians,) saying : " You
can be more of a man among the white
people than among the Indians." He returned and secured a Welsh lady for his
wife, and while she was on a visit to her
relatives in Wales this son was born. The
mother soon after dying, the boy remained
with his kindred awaiting the father from
this country, but the father was unable to
go after his son, who remained in Wales till
manhood, and was taking a trip through
Syria when he was

faith, and their children were nurtured in
the same way. Randall's son has become
Sheik of the tribe, the father-in-law having
died. A dervish, a zealot of the Mohammedan faith, had for a long time been endeavoring to stir up opposition and persecution on account of this new religion. He
strove to have Randall's sons thrown out of
the employ of the Turkish Government,
and failing in this, turned his assaults upon
a daughter of this foreigner, and charged
her with withcraft. She was brought before
the Meglis, composed of venerable Sheiks
and Effendis, to answer charges which involved her life. The charges having been
presented and substantiated as best they
could be by witnesses, she was called npon
to answer the charges through her advocate.
She, although but fourteen years of age,
responded, " Most venerable fathers, I will
reply in person." And then, holding a Bible
in her hand from which she frequently read,
made a defence worthy an Apostle, and
when she finished the unanimous verdict
was in her favor. But the old dervish
breathed revenge and determined to take her
life. This trial was in October, 1872; in
June, 1873, while Keren (for such was her
name) was teaching a class of little children
in a grove, the dervish stealthily approached,
and before any one was aware he had murdered her and fled. The fleetest horses of
the tribe, with riders armed, puraured and
captured him; he was tried and executed.
The last letter irom Lady Arzalia Le Arish
Randall gave a most touching account of
the trial and tragic death of her daughter,
in which is this sentence : " Pray for me
that my piety may be us humble as the violet, as enduring as the glive and as fragrant
as the orient." In a few months the Rev.
Mr. Berry will offer the readers of this
sketch its entire story from the hut of the
Indian to the tents of the Bedouin.
Some members of the family contemplate
visiting this country soon, when they will
substantiate the story to a doubting public.
Editorial.—When the Rev. Mr. Berry's
book appears we shall hope to see a copy,
for the romance of this narrative almost
equals a chapter of the Arabian Nights' Entertainment. We have read a statement in
the Boston Congregationalist, that the
American missionaries at Beyrout had never
heard of this Mr. Randall.
Eighty Chinese boys left Hartford Monday for the centennial. At New Haven they
were joined by about 30 more.' They are

EDITOR'S TABLE.
" License Reform."
We find several publications on our table
received by late mails,setting forth the evils of
intemperance and the curse of rum in India,
England, and the United States. One of
the documents has the title " License Reform," and is written by Alexander Balfour,
Etq., of Liverpool, in the form of a letter
addressed to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P. It appears that Mr. Balfour
has visited Norway and Sweden, where he
thuds a license system in force, which he
wishes to introduce into England. It is referred to as the " Gothenburg System."
The following were the leading principles
on which it was based, viz.:
1. To reduce the number ofpublic houses.
2. To improve their condition.
3. To provide warm food for workmen, so
as to change public houses into eatinghouses.
4. To employ as managers respectable
persons who should derive no profits from
the sale of spirits, but only from the sale of
cooked food, tea, coffee, beer, seltzer and
soda waters, iv.
5. To refuse to sell spirits on credit.
0. To secure strict supervision of all public houses by inspectors of their own, in
addition to the police.
7. To pay to the Town's Treasurer, after
payment of interest on capital, all the profits
that accrued on sales of spirits.
The company commenced operations in
1865, and has steadily pursued its course in
accordance with the principles above stated.
The results of these arrangements are obvious to all who visit Gothenburg, inasmuch
as they find not only that the streets are entirely free from drunken persons, but that
the behavior of the people in every part of
the town is marked by the utmost propriety
and decorum. We visited the whole town
¥111 t N It,
OCTOBER,
1876.
during the two days of our stay at Gothenburg, without seeing one drunken person.
On one evening we went to see the lowest
parts of it, but such places as the " slums "
of some of our large English towns we could
not discover, and were told that they did not
exist. The houses of the working people
appeared to us to be well built and well
kept, and no extreme poverty was visible.
We observed a striking contrast between
these public houses and our own in this respect—that at Gothenburg the people were
almost all taking food, showing that the purpose stoadily pursued by the company of
transforming public houses into eatinghouses is being largely accomplished. The
attendants were for the most part females,
the managers being men. A bill of fare was
hung up in each public house, from which
we saw that a well-cooked dinner could be
obtained for sixpence ; but the aim of the
company goes much beyond this, viz., to provide food at tbe lowest price for the poorest
people, and they enjoined their managers,
some years ago, to keep ready a plentiful
supply of vegetables cooked with pork, from
which a dinner could be made for ten ore,
equal to about a penny and three-eighths in
English money.
Under this system it appears that drunkenness hss greatly decreased. There is one
feature of the system that appears to meet
with much favor; it makes the public houses
support the police. We think if it could
also be made to support prisons und pauper
asylums, it would be improved.
From this pamphlet it appears that intemperance has a fearful sway in Liverpool.
Mr. Balfour alludes to one feature of drunkenness in England with much sorrow:
The condition of affairs amongst us is, in
some of its aspects, more distressing and
dangerous than even that which existed in
Sweden previous to 1855, as it does not appear that women in Sweden had fallen under the power of drink. But, in England,
alas! the prevalence of drunkenness amongst
women is conspicuous and increasing, and
wbo can look without alarm to a future generation brought up under the influence of
drunken mothers and drunken sisters? I
cannot, without the greatest sorrow and the
most painful forebodings, allude to the fact
that, fast year, 10,000 women were arrested
in Liverpool -for being drunk, as against
14,000 men, and that the portion of our gaol
allotted for females is crowded out.
The Rise and Fall or the Slave Power in
America. By Henry Wilson, vol. 2d, second edition. Boston, James R. Osgood & Co., 1876.
The first volume of this work has already
been noticed in the Friend of June, 1873.
The second volume appeared last year,
and we learn from the newspapers that volume third is nearly ready for publication,
having been prepared by the Rev. Samuel
Hunt, who was private secretary of the late
Vice President Wilson. On opening this
volume, our first inquiry was directed to the
preface to ascertain whether there was any
recognition of the Rev. Mr. Hunt's services
in preparing this and the former volume.
We found no such notice, to our great surprise, for while it has often been stated in
public prints that Mr. Hunt has been for
years engaged with Mr. Wilson in the preparation of this great work, yet there is no
mention of his name. Knowing as we do
that Mr. Hunt has acted in a much higher
capacity than a mere copyist or amanuensis, we hardly think Mr. Wilson, with all his
eminent abilities, did justice to himself or
his old pastor and secretary, in not recognizing in some public manner the highly important part which Mr. Hunt has taken in
the literary execution of this work. Mr.
Wilson never disguised the fact that his
early advantages were very limited, and that
he was too much occupied with public affairs
to sit down to close historical research and
careful writing.
This volume as well as tho former one,
has passed through a severe ordeal, and
critics of the highest authority in Boston
and elsewhere have expressed themselves
delighted with the style and manner with
which the work has been executed. The
North American Review and many of the
leading papers inA mcrica, have come out with
favorable notices. Although we have read
most of the contents of this volume as they
appeared in the New York Independent,
yet we arc reading them again with increased delight, for there is a transparency in the
style and a clear analysis of the subject,
which makes a work of history read like a
romance.
Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith: Being
an Examination of tbe Evidences of Infidelity
ISy Rev. Robert Patterson, D.D.; reviled and enlarged. 11. X Simmons, 160 Naasau street, 1876.
—
This is a handsome volume of 528 page-;,
which we obtained just as we left San Francisco. To our surprise we found the author
to be a pastor of one of the Presbyterian
churches of the city, who formerly preached
in Cincinnati. This volume appears to be
made up of a scries of tracts or papers which
he prepared years ago to meet the phases of
infidelity as they appear in the great West.
Dr. Patterson writes to meet an existing
state of public sentiment, and makes capital
use of the materials at his command. This
edition is " revised and enlarged," as he has
made a visit to Europe and Palestine since
the first publication of the book. It is a
book we can most cordially recommend to
the reading of such persons as take pleasure
in fancying their " ancestors were monkeys,"
and that the Bible is a book without a good
basis upon which to rest. The author carries the " war into Africa," and meets infidels and skeptics on their own ground.-..

Centennial Notes.
THE EXHIBITS OF JAPAN.
There arc more natives from Japan attending the Exhibition as commissioners,
exhibitors and visitors than from any other
country outside the United States and
Europe. They meet us at every corner, and
their appearance has become quite familiar.
They are nearly all dressed in American
costume; many of them speak English fluently, and they are almost invariably gentlemanly and polite in their manners. While
exhibiting their own country in its products,
they arc evidently bent on learning all they
can about the rest of the world.
The Japanese exhibit is large, varied and
valuable, and enlarges our respect for them
and their civilization.
But we notice 1. That there is largely
an eye to trade, rather than to the exhibition
of their country in its products and its condition. Their collection is largely for sale;
many choice articles arc already sold. The
Japanese have been called the Yankees of
the East. 2. They have no great inventions to exhibit—nothing to show that until
they recently mingled with Americans and
European nations, they have been making
any progress. 3. Their labors and their
manufactures are all intended to please the
senses and cultivate the taste. There is no
higher or nobler aim anywhere visible. The
great idea of usefulness, ever before the
mind of the British or American producer,
is not in the thoughts of the Japanese. Is
it not so with all heathen nations?—N. Y.

THE ¥ 111 1:
The Late Mr. James Robinson.
•
The death of Mr. Robinson, severs another link connecting the present with the
past. The departed never mingled in political affairs, but quietly passed along the
even tenor of his ways, and hence his name
is seldom mentioned in our island history,
yet for more than a half century he has been
at the bead of an establishment which accumulated large property, as appears from his
will recently published. As many of our
seafaring readers were personally acquainted
with him, and not a few have had dealings
with him in the way of ship-carpentry and
other business, we think they will be interested in the following facts and the contents
of his will, which incidentally brings out
many interesting facts.
Mr. Robinson was born in Poorfleet, London, November 8, 1798. After making a
voyage to the East Indies as a carpenter's
mate, he shipped in 1819 as carpenter on
board the English whaleship Pearl. On
her passage around Cape Horn, this ship
spoke the Thaeldeus, bound to the Sandwich Islands with the pioneer American
missionaries. How little the carpenter of
the Pearl imagined that he was destined to
spend his life on -these islands, and never
again visit England or the mainland. The
Pearl visited Honolulu for supplies in 1820
and 1821, and on the 26th of April, 1822,
was wrecked on " Pearl and Hermes'' Reef,
lying near Midway tnd Ocean Islands, situated about 650 miles to the northwest of
the Sandwich Islands. At the time of the
wreck, the Pearl was cruising in company
with the English whaleship Hermes. The
Pearl was first wrecked, and the Hermes
ran down to look after her consort, when 10,
she met a similar fate. After much labor a
small vessel of thirty tons, called the Deliverance, was built under the superintendence
of Mr. Robinson, which was safely navigated
to Honolulu, (sin landing Mr. Robinson and
a ship-mate, Robert Lawrence, cooper, found
employment in repairing schooners owned by
the king and chiefs. They were allowed to
occupy the " Point," but many years passed
before they obtained a secure title to the land.
Years rolled on, and the firm of James Robinson & Co. (including Robert Lawrence
and Mr. Holt) became wealthy, and carried
on a business that employed a large number
of ship-carpenters and caulkers. More
whaleships were repaired at their establishment than at any other in the Pacific.
The firm was always noted for their strict
attention to business and prompt payment of
all liabilities. Mr. Robinson survived both
his partners, and during the last years of his
life has quietly attended to his private business, and while not unthoughtful of the
M),

future, has been making his arrangements to
pass over his large estate into the hands of
his ten children. We copy the outlines of
his will from the Hawaiian Gazette of
Sept. 13th, as it came up before the Court
of Probate.
Mr. Robinson died at his residence in
Nuuanu valley August Bth. Having known
the deceased for over thirty years and often
met him in the intercourse of life, it is with
pleasure we can bear our testimony to his
integrity and gentle bearing. As appears
from the above dates, his life has run parallel with the entire history of the American
mission on these islands. Of late years it
has been most gratifying to witness an exhibition of the old "patriarchal" type, in his
intercourse with his numerous family relations, of children, grandchildren and others.
Certain items in his will indicate that he remembered several of those known as laborers
in his shipyard.
"In the matter of the proof of the will of
James Robinson, deceased. Before Mr. Justice
Judd by request of Justice Harris at chambers.
Petitiou ot Mark Robinson, C. P. Ward and
Samuel C. Allen for probate of the will. The
court after hearing the evidence in tbe matter
admitted the will to probate and ordered letters
testamentary to be issued io the petitioners without bond according to the terms of the will. Tbe
testator died at bis residence in Nuuanu valley
on the Bth of August last, leaving a -widow and
ten children, two of whom, James J. Robinson
of Kauai and Charlotte, now Mrs. Hasslocher of
San Francisco, are by a former wife. The deceased leaves real and personal property amounting to $479,000, and distributed it by bis will
«
personal, the testator leaves to be divided between his eight children, by his second wife, ior
their respective lives, and afterwards to tbeir
heirs, and appoint* Curtis P. Ward. Samuel C.
Allen and Mark Robinson executors and trustees
and
of the estate and guardians of his minor children,
without bonds. On the hearing, the widow accepted the provisions made for her in the will in
lieu of dower."
Mr. Floyd of San Francisco, (formerly
commander of the Idaho), the president of
the board of trustees of the Lick donation,
has been consulting Leverrier in Paris as to
the construction and furnishing of the proposed Lick observatory, and the grounds of
the Paris observatory have been thrown
open for his use in making experiments with
large apparatus. A refracting telescope with
a lens one metre in diameter will doubtless
be made in Europe at some of the celebrated
factories.
An Indiana rum-seller prosecuted Mrs.
M. A. Johnson for calling his rum-shop in
the temperance paper she edits, a
" murder-
mill." Unfortunately for him the facts she
presented to the jury convinced them that
she had reason to stigmatize it withthe title
that so offended him. His saloon is not the
only saloon that might be called by the same
name.— lllustrated Christian Weekly.

Pure religion and undeflled before Ood, the Father, is this:
To visit thefatherless and tvidows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspottedfrom the world.
Edited
by a
Committee- of tbe T. M, C. A.
I rejnark, once more, that the pulpit itself
has unconsciously lent itself to the great
danger of making belief more important than
the life: not in terms—for, in general, the
pulpit most explicitly declares that the actual condition of the heart before God is the
most important thing; but there is an insidious way of advocating a thing in terms
and opposing it in effect; for it is more the
emphasis than the statement that determines
the effect of preaching. If a man were to
begin every sermon in the year by saying,
" God is love," and then go on preaching
" God is just," in every sermon of the year,
never developing anything higher, the milder
statement would perish under the emphasis
and repetition which he threw into the
sterner; and men would see God, as it were,
in a cloud, and would look upon him as a
great wheel-turner, who sat moving the vast
machine of the universe, leaving those who
got in the way to be crushed. Thus, partly
from the exigencies of government, in times
of persecution—whey a man's life depended,
from various causes, on what was called the
fidelity of orthodoxy—men have come to be
impressed that though they ought to be right
at heart, yet it is far more important that
they should be right in belief; and that a
little goodness with a great deal of orthodoxy
is a good deal safer than a great deal of
goodness with a ragged orthodoxy. It is a
spurious form of the old Greek idea that
knowledge is the end of existence : and that
to be accurate, to think right, and to put
right thinking together systematically, is the
main point: that there ought to be goodness,
to be sure; but that knowledge is the main
thing, and that goodness is a sort of sequence of knowledge.

Death of Mr. Aheong.—Intelligence was
received by the last arrival from China, that
Samuel P. Aheong died in China among his
friends on the 14th of June. The career of
this Chinaman is quite noteworthy. He
came to the islands among the Chinese
brought by Mr. Graves, more than twenty
years ago, and was hired by Mr. Torbert of
Makawao, who was so much pleased with
his aptness to learn that he sent him to an
English school, taught we believe by a member of the Rev. Mr. Green's family. Time
passed on, and he married among the Hawaiians and became a merchant at Lahaina,
where he made a profession of his faith in
the Christian religion ; but in 1870 removed
his church-relationship to the Bethel church
of Honolulu. During 1868 and 1869 he
was employed as a colporteur among his
countrymen by the Hawaiian Board. Speaking several dialects of China and being a
man of good abilities, he became an eloquent
preacher, often addressing audiences of the
Chinese in Honolulu and elsewhere upon
the islands. In 1810, with his wife and
two children, he returned to China, where
he has taught srhool, but suffered much from
sickness. Our recollections of him are most
pleasant. He was a most genial and agreeable man; and speaking the English language with much fluency, it was delightful
to converse with him about China and the
Chinese—their history, religions and customs, and his conversion to Christianity.
He leaves a widow and two children in
China, and one child at Makawao.

Chinese in San Francisco.—One of the San Francisco papers has
been looking into the working of the missions
among the Chinamen in that city. It gives
these results: The Methodists maintain a
church of forty Chinese members, a Sundayschool and a night school. Five teachers
are employed in the night school, which is
attended in part by adults. Instruction
is given in the ordinary English branches
of learning. The Methodists also support a
refuge and home for Chinese women. The
Presbyterians have a Chinese mission church
of sixty members, an evening school of 110
pupils, and a home for women. The Baptists have an evening school, attended by
seventy scholars, and a Sunbay congregation
offifty Chinamen. There are thirteen other
schools sustained by the churches of the city,
which are attended more or less by the Chinese population.

How Long Does it Take to Transmit a
Message Through the Atlantic Cable ?—
The N. Y. Journal of Commerce has been
investigating this question, and simple as it
looks at first sight, there are many singular
and.interesting points in the answer. When
the electricity is applied to the cable at one
end, two-tenths ot a second pass before any
effect is feltat the other end,and three seconds
are consumed before the full force of the
current is in action. The first signal is felt
in four tenths of a second, but the following
ones go through more rapidly. As many as
seventeen words have been sent over the
Atlantic cable in one minute ; fifteen cap
usually be sent under pressure, and twelve
words a minutes is a good working rate.
Messages of twelve words have been sent all
the way from New York to London in two
minutes. A fact not yet explained by the
scientists is that the electricity does not move
as rapidly from New York to London as in
the opposite direction.
Crossing the Atlantic in a "Skiff."—
The bold mariner from Gloucester, who is
now making his way across the ocean in a
dory appears to be getting on famously. A
Troy gentlemen who has been on a visit to
London, and who returned by the steamer
Greece, reports that in mid-ocean the watch
the bow reported to the Captain that he
descried ahead what seemed to be part of a
wreck. As it neared the ship the object
was discovered to be a small skiff, and in the
darkness the figure of one man was descried.
The Captain immediately gave orders to stop
the engines and get the ropes ready to pull
the man on board. The sea was running
high. The skiffcame quite near to the ship,
appearing and disappearing at intervals—
now on the top of an immense wave level with
the deck ofthe vessel, the next minute hidden
from sight in the billows. The Captain,
calling to know who was in the boat, was
answered in a strong German accent: "I am
John Johnson, from Gloucester, Massachusetts." He told further that he was bound
to Liverpool; that his skiff was named
Centennial, and that he had been out fifteen
days. He then asked the Captain to compare reckonings. His was longitude 46°,
latitude 39c the Captain's was the same.
Johnson informed the Captain that he slept
by day, and before going to sleep he took
in his rudder and took down all sails ; during
sleep, bis craft drifted with the waves.
He was awake at nights. The captain made
a final appeal to him to come on board, stating
that if he refused, he would probably regret
it when the vessel was out of his reach.
To this Johnson emphatically answered,
"No, sir; good night," and throwing his
sails to the wind was soon lost to sight.
Johnson sits in the centre of his boat, with
a lamp burning before him, exposing the dial
of what seemed to be a compass. The deck
afore and aft is covered with canvas, under
which, beside the compass and lamp, were
several barrels, containing, no doubt, provisions, water, etc. When last heard from
(July 23), Johnson was less than thirty-six
degrees west of London. She has since
arrived all right on the British coast. American paper.
