At tho departure of our Chief Justice as Minister Resident at Washington, lawyers, judges, public officers, and His Majesty have expressed* their thoughts, perhaps a few words may not be inappropriate on our part. We have known tbe Judge for Dearly thirty years, and more than forty years ago, we heard his honored father lecture on political economy, in Amherst College. If the son was fortunate in having a most honornhle, upright and estimable father, so that father was equally honored by having a son follow in his footsteps. Both have been members of Congress. We first knew him as U. S. Consul in 1850; Dext as Minister of Finance; then followed his career as Chief Justice and Chancellor, to be succeeded by that of Minister Bethel Vestry and Repairs. The Finance and Building Committees have about completed the work entrusted to them by a vote of the friends of the Bethel, and the following is a statement of the receipts and expenditures as they now stand on the books of the Chaplaincy : Debt on the Bethel, December 31, 1876, lor Lighting and Sextan'* Service!, Arc $ 126 00 I'" Am.iiiih Paid O Lurat 1,99166 87 00 I'n Amount Paid Mr tlibb'a.

In rendering the foregoing, the Chaplain would return his sincere thanks to all those who have contributed in any way for the New Vestry and repairs. So many have enjoined not to publish their names in connection with their donations, that all are omitted ; but they are duly recorded upon the books of the Chaplaincy, and are open for the inspection of any one interested in referring to the same.

In all these numerous relations he has ever displayed the same admirable ability, tact and good sense. Most heartily can we congratulate him on his honorable retirement and departure for Washington. Few men have fulfilled life's duties mora honorably and satisfactorily. Boasting is not good nt any time, but if ever allowable it would be at the close of a long, useful and prosperous public career, for a kipg onoe said, " Let not bim that putteth on the harness boast himself aa be that putteth it off." If the whole Hawaiian people, foreign and native, wore to give utterance to their honest thought and feelings upon this occasion, we believe it would be in that most expressive Hawaiian exclamation, "Aloha nui." Missionary Meeting.—Last Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, the Micronesian missiona- ries—Messrs. Taylor, Snow and Bingham, made most interesting addresses relating to their respective fields of labor, and the general work in that part of Polynesia. It appears that the gospel is advancing. One group after another is gradually laying aside heathenism for Christianity. No part of the wide field is now more interesting than that of the Mortlock group, where native teachers have only been laboring two years, and already churches have been gathered numbering 300 members. We intend publishing a more full report after bearing tbe report of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, returning from his mission delegate, E. Bailey, Esq.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 1. FIRST WORDS. If it is true, as some one has said, that every Frenchman who visits America, on his return writes a book, it is equally true that every American who crosses the Atlantic, sooner or later, gives the world the benefit of his European impressions in the form of newspaper letters. We find this übiquitous American in every land ; he leads you with his untiring pen into far northern climes and brings you buck to your quiet home and fireside with memories of glittering ice-fields and Arctic sens, or astounds you with some new discovery in the fiery heart of Africa; and he is beginning to tell you secrets of China and Japan, of which the innocent dwellers there never heard. But Europe is after all his favorite domain. Of Europe he never wearies ; he describes London with the fervor which a western man feels in telling you of his city which was born but yesterday and to-day is nearly full-grown. You would fancy that the Belvedere had in him its first interpreter and revealer, that Michael Angelo had been his familiar friend or that he had chatted with Titian on the mysteries of color. He gives you the exact height of every spire in every city and the pedigree of every noble family whose time-worn tomb he has visited, and often continuous columns are redolent of Baedeker, Murray, Appleton, Harper, etc., etc. Yet after all this letter-writing tendency has its very bright side. We have read year after year descriptions of the same scenes and places and people, with air unflagging interest till this old world came to seem like some dear and familiar spot. So that when its shores first greeted us it was with the welcome of a home from which we had been absent far too long Doubly is this true of those who have once seen its shrines and treasures, and who weave about each new account, however prosaic, the rosy web of memories of sunny days that are gone. To each new comer the great and shadowy past voices its history and lessons. The centuries become long vistas, as in some grand old cathedral, through whose hush and gloom, lighted now and then by jeweled gleams of sunlight and fragrant with the perfumes of unseen censers, you hear �THE ¥ItIE I D, 10 I KItII I AX \ . the far off notes of sweetest music.

The windows of countless shops shine with diamonds and gold ; innumerable mirrors increase the lustrous effect till you are almost lost in this brilliant carnival of light. Paris reigns at night. One cannot fail to be immediately struck by the marvelous strides this wonderful city has taken since the last war. After defeats which would have disheartened almost any other nation, the French have grown financially stronger from day to day. While the queen-city, with the ruins which the wild Commune caused, still black and smouldering, has risen Phoenix-like into a new beauty. There is something inspiring, something con, lagious in the quenchless hope which characterizes the French. Though they may lack some of the essentials of real greatness and success, they teach the world a royal lesson in this undaunted .spirit of perseverance in the face of disaster. Very general interest is now manifested in THE EXPOSITION OF 1878, And not only the grounds necessary for the exposition but all Paris is to be put in readiness for this event. We have before us a weekly illustrated paper, '• L'Exposition dc 1878," which gives full accounts of the plans for the buildings; publishes the official decrees and documents, and keeps the public fully informed in reference to all that pertains to the subject. The exposition will be held in the Champ-de-Mars where was also the exposition of 1b67. This is an extensive and open space on the left bank of the Seine famous for many of the great military reviews which have here taken place and for other events of importance in the history of Paris. Here will be placed the main building which is to be of immense extent, the plans having already been decided upon. The various nations will here arrange their products of art and industry which will be placed in a manner most convenient for study and observation. On the opposite bank of the Seine is the Trocadero connected with the Champ-de-Mars by the Pont a' Jena. This is destined for the agricultural exhibitions, stands for animals, for models in reference to navigation, minim:, etc. On the height, from which there is a magnificent view of Paris, a vast structure will be reared, destined to remain after the exposition has closed. The grounds will be laid out with gardens and fountains and diversified with Swiss chalets, Chinese pagodas, English cottages, etc., so that as some one has said, " you can make the tour of the world not in eighty days, but in eighty minutes." This exposition will be watched with the greatest interest, especially by Americans. It occurs so soon after that in America that it villi not be a difficult thing to draw a comparison. In one respect this cannot fail to be favorable to our " Centennial," namely,.the location. The Champde-Mars is a flat and level space, while Fairmount Park offered the rarest opportunities in its great variety of surface. We shall never forget the exquisite beauty of its winding walks, and lakes, and ravines into whose shadows the sunlight glinted through the royal canopies which the leaves of autumn made. French art will undoubtedly do much to imitate nature, but it cannot be nature. Probably the European displays will �1877. 1 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, surpass anything the world has seen before.

The Committee say in a review of the work : "To sum up all the results of the meetings can only be done when Christ comes for His church, but its influence is evident in every direction. The church has been revived, the ministry quickened, and many persons converted. All classes of the community have had the gospel preached to them, and for weeks all circles have been more or less interested in the' meetings. Much good seed has been sown, and much of it has already sprung up into everlasting life. The most marked work has been among men addicted to the use of strong drink. Three daily meetings, for this class, have been held, and intensely interesting meetings they have been. Those conversant with the work, place the number who have given evidence, not of reformation only, but of regeneration, at one thousand." Chicago.—The Preparations for Moody and Sankey.— As the great brick building toward our south end goes up, a place to be prepared for the Moody and Sankey meetings, so, we can't help thinking, a larger and more important preparation thereof is going on in the Monday lectures. Such preaching as Mr. Moody's needs a certain intellectual and spiritual atmosphere as a condition, especially in such a place as Boston; and that atmosphere, it seems to us, Mr. Cook may be supplying. We like to take the succession of these brethren as an ordering of God's good providence; and to see in it some special augury of great blessings in store for the churches. More than one builder is needed to raise the spiritual house; and the relation between stqne-mason, carpenter, and finisher, it is well to discern and keep in mind.—Congre- gationalism The Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, the converted East Indian Prince now residing in England, who got his wife from the United Presbyterian Mission in Egypt, is in the habit of commemorating his wedding anniversary by contributing a large sum of money to the mission.

Kiyoto, Nov. 23, 1876. I used to think at timet 1 worked pretty hard on Micronesia, but 1 think I do more here. The climate is inspiring, and I move at times as if on springs. Indeed I seem not to have lost that quickening, energizing power that met me as I landed from tbe Star in Honolulu some two years since. The climate of Japan is for me delightful. Our falls are perfectly splendid, frost late, winds and rains light, and clouds of tbe right thickness and number to shade the sun—and so the days and weeks roll along in a sort of delirium of delight. And Nature too paints as on New England's hill.". Just now the woods are aflame with Japan's wonderful maple tree. Some that redden up as they die, have gone into the deepest scarlet in which to blush away life, and it gives such beauty to the woods that makes one wild almost. I am finding work in the training school here; have a class of five youths, graduates from a government school, who use English well; am taking them through O. Text History. The good work is prospering; the Lord is working here not a little marvelously strange. The city is not open as a. free city—one can get in here only by special permission. The missionaries are here under or by means of Mr. Neaimd's. school professedly his. The influence in the city is against us. Tfie Budhist priests arp or were bitter. Yet with all this opposition, and it is only a year since weentered— since any missionaries entered—and we have now one training school for boys, of 70 members ; one girls' school of 15—this organized within the past six weeks; haveforty different places to preach in on the Sabbath ; work for all our thirty young men preparing to preach the gospel, and three churches are soon to be organized. The mind of the Japanese is inquiring, remarkably so, and it is now hungering for something better than cold Budhism can give it or the still colder Shintooism. Not unfrequently do 1 hear of Japanese who have gone through the first, then the latter, then Confuscianim, then into blank Atheism ! And some of these have found the gospel of Jesus to be to their burthened hearts all they want. We are now breaking ground for a Christian college,—and it is needed, the native mind is calling for it—our work calls for it —for all Christian young men who attend the government schools and colleges come out lifeless, frozen by the Atheism and hea- — .

The next day I heard them again, and the noon-day services were even more impressive than those of the preceding night. Nothing since I reached and Sankey.—Late America has been more satisfying than these services. I have also heard Moody and Sankey's songs from the Pacific to the Atlantic,—all along the way ; you hear them in the streets played by full bands, and even the hand-organ men have them, and the boys whistle them as they rush past you to their work and play. Verily this is a new way of spreading the gospel."

Forgets thejarring discords of Earth's conflicts, as it contemplates Thy peace, O restful bills. Jesus brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. This is not the way terminating in life, of which the Savior speaks ; but a way leading into life and going on without end. It is an endless progress in knowledge, in holiness, and in happiness ; a never-ending development ef the capacities of the immortal soul t» learn and to enjoy ; a never-ceasing process of being changed into the image of the all-perfect, the infinite. This way leads upwards, and as the traveler presses on, his horizon enlarges at every advance, and his vision becomes clearer and more far-reaching to take in the prospect ever presenting new attractions and glories. We must not regard heaven as a state of inactivity, or of a place " where congregations never break up," and praise meetings have no pause. The aspirations of men in this life urge them on to ceaseless activity ; some for the things that perish with their using, others for the imperishable, just as their desires prompt them. Those who can say with the Psalmist, "as the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God," may look forward to the other world with the assured anticipation that this intense longing will be gratified. The soul of the Psalmist followed hard after God ; language denoting his earnest efforts to know God and to be C. " Lead Me in the Way Everlasting," Thus prayed the sweet Psalmist of Israel. That the ancient Hebrews were believing in the immortality of the soul, is evident from the fact that they confessed that they were " strangers and pilgrims on the earth," this very conffcsion implying that " they were aspiring after a better country, even a heavenly." Yettheir ideas of the future state could not have been very clear ; for the Lord like Him. His increasing meditation upon the word and works of God, and his progress in this divine knowledge gave evidence of his persevering efforts ; for thus he became wiser than all his teachers. Now we may reasonably believe that these activities continue, and are intensified in the future life. We are beset with mysteries in every part of our mortal career, which we are utterly unable to explain. The domain of knowledge is so barren and so extensive that no human intellect can explain. Even Newton, a philosopher surpassed by none, remarked, a short time before his death,"! seem to myself to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." What a glorious work for the future life to find out these mysteries, and explore this ocean ! And with every increase of knowledge to grqw into the likeness of the Infinite One ! This surely is the way everlastiny to be led in, which the Psalmist' prayed, and in sympathy with thePsalmist's prayer is that beautiful hymn— my God to Tbee, " Nearer Nearer to Thee." Auqois. Origin of the New York Y. M. C. A. New York, Nov. 20, 1876. Editors of the N. Y. Observer: Gentlemen—ln the Observer of November 16, I notice an article upon the Young Men's Society of thts city, organized about 1831. The writer, at the close, states that the present Young Men's Christian Association grew out of the broken elements of the young Men's Society, which had disbanded owing to some political excitement and discussion introduced into its meetings. As a modification ot this statement, allow me to recall a few points relating to the incipient steps taken, and which resulted in the organization of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city. It is just twenty-five years ago this month that three gentlemen,—viz.: Messrs. H. K. Bull, Milton St. John, and O. T. Woodford,—met at my house to hear a statement respecting the Young Men's Christian Association of London, the workings of which I had become familiar with during a twelve months' residence in England ; and also to consider the feasibility of having such an Association in this city. Several meetings were held at private residences, and the whole question calmly discussed ; the leading pastors were counselled with, and the preliminary steps resulted in a public meeting, held in the lecture room of the Mercer street church. Dr. Geo. T. Bedell presided, and the late Chancellor Ferris made an explanatory address. It was there and then decided to form the New York Young Men's Christian Association, and some five hundred subscribed themselves as ready to unite in such a movement. At subsequent meetings a Constitution and By-Laws were framed, and prominent in the discussion upon the cardinal points were Dr. Howard Crosby, the late Jesse W. Benedict, Esq., and other leading Christian men. 1 well remember the first public meeting of the Association at its rooms in the old Stuyvesant Library building, Broadway, opposite Bond street. The chair was taken by its first President, O. T. Woodford, Esq,, and a very able and earnest address made by the late Daniel Lord, Esq. The subsequent history of the Association you are familiar with, as well as its noble work, in the hands of those who have been and are its friends. My chief aim in this communication is, .through the New York Observer, to put the matter on record in its proper shape, and that credit may be given to the parent Association of London for the solidity and permanence engrafted into the Association here, and which have tended to carry it through many threatening storms. Yours very sincerely, Geo. H. Petrie. At the Episcopal Church Congress one of the speakers maintained the doctrine that " every man who gets drunk, be he high or low, should be imprisoned in the coimnon jail, like any offender against the peace and security of society." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

There is no longer quiet and stagnation, but activity and enterprise. A century is a short period in the world's history, but another century's development in the Pacific is to bring the balance of power much farther westward from the meridian of Greenwich.

JANUARY 1. 1877. THE GREAT HEREAFTER OF THE PACIFIC. We have full faith in the grand future awaiting the inhabitants of the islands and the shores of the Pacific Ocean. For thousands ofyears the " Star of Empire " has been westward. Since the first issue of the Friend in January, 1843, we have witnessed an onward movement which is almost incredible. When the United States exploring expedition under Wilkes returned from the Pacific in 1841, this part of the world was almost unknown to the nations of Europe and America. Since that period California, Oregon, Alaska and other portions of the shores of the Pacific, have marvelously loomed up into the horizon. The wave from over the Rocky Mountains has met a wave from the shores of China and Japan. There is now a mingling of waters creating a vast commotion among the nations. When England opened China, and the United States Japan, those nations little imagined the influence which four or five hundred millions would have upon the world, when their old and conservative policy was broken up. There is no turning back. Th» gates have been opened; they cannot be shut. Commerce and trade are to have their influence, but Christianity is also to come in and exert an influence as potent as when the Roman empire submitted to the Cross. Dwelling on these islands of the Pacific, we are so situated as to witness the grand sur- New Vestry.—The Finance Committee for collecting funds to erect the new vestry and repair the Bethel, are still at work. They hoped to have been able to report on the first of this month, but the work is still unfinished, although being rapidly pushed forward. Thus far the improvements appear to meet the public approval. The subscription is still insufficient, and some three hundred dollars more needed to paint and suitably seat the building. Persons favorably disposed are invited to send forward their subscriptions. As a building to accommodate the Chinese congregation it is much needed, until they shall have a church of their own. An Old Resident Gone.—Died at Ewa, on this on Tuesday last, John Williams, aged 77 years, a resident ot these islands for nearly fifty years. He was tbe last known survivor of tbe ill-fated Boki expedition which left Honolulu in two vessels in December. 1828. to (rather sandalwood in tbe South Pacific. One of tbe vessels. with the chief Boki on board, never returned to port, and the other arrived at Honolulu in August 1829. with twenty survivors only out of a company of 226 that embarked in ber—tbe rest having died of disease and famine. Williams continued until a few years past to follow bis avocation as a teaman, and was in one of the whalers destroyed by tbe Shenandoah in 1864. A claim of several hundred dollars was recently awarded him at Washington. He belonged originally, we believe to tbe state of Maine, and it is thought that Williams was an assumed name. He leaves children, in whose favor he recently made a will.—P. C. A. island, THE CENTENNIAL---THE END. It is highly gratifying and satisfactory from so many sources, to receive assurances that the " Centennial," has proved a grand success. As private correspondence often contains hints and suggestions relative to public affairs and enterprize, which indicate the drift of popular sentiment, it is with much pleasure that we now allow some of our correspondents to speak. A gentleman, writing from Brooklyn, who had just visited Philadelphia thus writes under date of Nov. 28th : " We spent two days at the Centennial in May, and a week in September, and did not fail to visit the Sandwich Island Department. Altogether the Centennial has been a perfect success. I never saw so many people congregated together, with so few drawbacks. All seemed anxious to be polite to their neighbors and give as little trouble as possible. I did not hear of a single case of rudeness or ill-behaviour during the six months it was open." After this opinion of a New York Broker, we give an extract from the letter of a lady writing from Baltimore, under date of Nov. 25th, who visited the islands nine months • ago: " An opportunity was afforded me of seeing the Great Exhibition, with great comfort and in company with an appreciating congenial friend. The first day, we went into the Hawaiian Department, and there I felt quite at home, surrounded by Miss Andrews' ferns, the case of birds from Hilo, the kegs of sugar from Capt. Makee's place, (where J was so delightfully entertained for a week) the table and lady's stand, (which I had seen at the cabinet maker's in Honolulu, when he was preparing to send them away.) I almost imagined I might be in a rqom somewhere, at the Sandwich Islands, so familiar did everything look and so pleasant was the association, that I rouM nqt refrain from registering �2 THE FKIEND, JANUARY, 1877. my name in the Visitor's Book. To return to the Centennial. I met Mr. Lyman, from Cleveland, who was on a visit to Honolulu, some months ago. I also met Miss Armstrong, whom your son introduced. I send you the Enquirer, giving an account of the closing exercises of the " Centennial." 1 saw the grand fire-works from the top of the Main Building, where we had secured seats. I thought it was very good in the Englishman Brock to make such a display to celebrate our Independence. They were worthy of the nation from which we sprung. I felt proud of our mother country, when I looked on the rare and beautiful exhibits, she sent to honor our Centennial,—indeed all nations brought their gifts, and it would properly be called a « World's Fair." 1 can only say with Esther: « the half had not been told me," and that I felt thankful for the opportunity of seeing and studying the works of Art and Nature and Science, by which I was surrounded." Another correspondent exclaims: " What shall I say about the Centennial ? I feel so powerless to say anything at all, and feel that by my silence, i shall probably be far more eloquent than by any words I can use. It was so overwhelmingly grand, and I felt so exceedingly unimportant, that 1 wanted to keep justas quiet as possible. No one word more completely conveys my feelings than satisfaction, and that of the most thorough type. No poor wavetossed voyager ever heralded with more joy the sight of land than I did the birds, and corals, and welcoming homeobjects which had each a special greeting for me in the midst of this strange new world of sights and sounds. 1 fairly learned to love that dear little nook, which seemed to carry me thousands of miles away, as the Magic Carpet might have done, which we read about in the Arabian Nights. Certainly, we Hawaiians have reason to be proud of the way in which our little kingdom has been represented. Mr. Hifchcock was exceedingly kind and cordial, and made it very agreeable for me. I scarcely ever was in tbe room for a few moments but that I met some one from the islands, or who had been there. " I spent six or seven full days on the grounds, and the most ofthe time the weather was perfect. The first day or two I went systematically, but the grandeur of the whole kept so growing on me, that I felt it was impossible to think of seeing everything, and must be satisfied with a general idea. One, at last reaches a point beyond which sightseeing is rather a duty than a pleasure. I might close my eyes for months and never be at a loss for sights and thoughts. I have. been around the world in less than " eighty days." " The Main Building is on the whole die most complete and satisfactory. There is a symmetry and perfection there, which I think you miss to a certain extent in the other buildings. You pass from one country to another, in regular order and can compare with ease the different products. It is marvellous the sensations which you experience in passing from one side of some tapestried barrier to another. You step from one atmosphere into another, now you are in Japan, now in Egypt; South America, is left for Africa; Italy for Norway and Sweden. I spent a portion of an afternoon with friends visiting China and Japan. Then they went to Italy and I to Australia, and we arranged to meet again in Norway, but in some way or other we missed each other and never met again. You are jostled by all the peoples of the earth—nations come and go as you advance—the centuries seem as nothing, viewed from your elevated stand-point. One's thoughts are full of rare old bronzes of marvelous carvings; curious and dainty work in precious stones; bales of carpetings and cloths, looms of silks and laces; all these overlaying ponderous foundations of iron and stone, built up by patient, toiling, busy men. You are in a dream where color and form run riot. You feel there is too much and you are glad of the crowd which.brings you down to the common level again, and such a crowd! The numbers of visitors on the Centennial grounds are enormous. In many of the buildings, it is almost impossible to make your way around. But if you lose a little here and there, it is more than compensated for by the wonderful sights around you. I think 1 enjoyed the crowd more than anything else ! It was so exceedingly interesting to note the kind, earnest, amused, wondering faces about you, stretching off without end. Every one seemed happily bent on having a good time. I was very much interested in the Art Building. I am not enough of a critic to be on the lookout for flaws and faults, but enjoy intensely whatever pleases me. There was one place in the American section of Monumental Hall where I was much impressed by two pictures. One end of the room was covered with that gigantic, painfully real picture of Rothennal's, the battle of Gettysburg. It is exceedingly painful in its realism. Near that hangs a small painting by a San Francisco artist, Rosenthal, which created such a furore at the time it was first exhibited. I believe many find much fault with it, but I have never been more impressed with any painting than with this. Turning from the grim and gory battle piece to the peace and solemn quiet of " Elaine," touched with the light of the coming morning, was like passing from the fury of the storm into the stillness of the calm. There was another section in the English Department where I saw two pictures of which I had often heard, by Benjamin West, The Death of Wolfe" and " Christ Blessing Little Children ;" but the theme is endless. In Machinery Hall I was completely lost. I wandered pitiably hither and thither, and longed for some sensible and practical person to set me right. I saw a great deal however that was wonderful and interesting, especially the grand and sublime Corliss Then there are " Agricultural engine. Hall," Horticultural Hall," " Government " " Building," etc., but their " StateIBuildings," am glad I have had an name is legion. opportunity to see the greatest wonder of the age. Since 1 left I find it looms up grander than ever, just as Niagara does the longer you gaze. But never did or shall poet, author or painter more fully, clearly and concisely convey an idea of its marvelous and stupendous character than did that girl whose name is unknown to the world, but whose note finds a response in every visitor's heart, "Dear mother, "Oh ! oh !! oh !!! oh!!!! oh!!!!! Yours truly." " Ceremonies of the Closing Day. Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—The ceremony of closing the exhibition was begun this morning with a federal salute of thirteen guns. A little after one o'clock Ihe city troops entered the buildi: g, and proceeding to the main hall formed a hollow square about the platform erected at the north end. A few moments after two o'clock President Grant arrived, and was greeted with hearty applause as he ascended the platform. The orchestra then performed Wagner's " Inauguration March." The invocation was then delivered by Rev. Jas. A. Seiss of Philadelphia. Addresses were also delivered by Hon. A. T. Goshorn and Gen. Hawley, the orchestra performing Beethoven's fifth symphony and the chorus singing the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah between the speeches. After the enthusiasm had subsided General Hawley announced that the president of the United States would give a telegraphic signal for the stopping of the great Corliss engine, and at the same moment would announce the close of the exhibition. President Grant accordingly rose and gave the required signal by a wave of his left hand, accompanying the act with this declaration : " 1 declare the centennial international exhibition of 1876 closed." Simultaneously with the utterance of the official announcement it was communicated by telegraph directly to London. All present here united in singing the Doxology, the chorus and orchestra joining. As the last echoes died away the audience quietly dispersed. �of Venus. Rev. Joseph Cook. Some months ago, we read a very able and remarkable article in the American Bibliotheea Sacra, entitled, Decline of Rationalism in German Universities," by Joseph Cook, A. M. of Boston. Having never previously heard of this writer, as this article was so very thorough and scholarly we made enquiries, when in the U. S. respecting the writer, and learned that he was a graduate of Vale College and Andover theological seminary and was a Congregational orthodox minister of the gospel. We also learned that he had spent several years in Germany and among the learned man of Europe, and now was a preacher and lecturer, at large. While passing through Norwich, Ct., we heard him preach a remarkable sermon, upon "Conscience" and again heard him speak at the Tremont Temple in Boston. It appears that his lectures have created a profound interest in Boston, and are now the principal topic of discussion, in that Athens of America, where there are so many active minds. We are indebted to Judge Austin, for copies of the Boston Daily Advertiser, containing a full report of these lectures, the subject—Does Death " End All.f In the lectures, Mr. Cook, evinces talents of a high order and extensive research. Those -believing in Huxley, Darwia and writers of that class, have met with a man not afraid to meet them upon their own ground and discuss the absurdity of the theory of Materialists. If this is not the war of the giants," yet it is a war where "men keen, subtle, philosophical, and wellread, are giving and taking blows, and woebetide the "smaller combatants who thrust themselves into the arena. Scarcely a hall, sufficiently large, can be found in Boston, to accommodate the crowds, who are so eager to hear Mr. Cook. Mr. Austin thus writes us under date of November 27th : "We have been attending the lectures of Joseph Cook (whom you spoke to me of when in Boston) and like them much. I sent you the two last lectures ' Does Death End All?" I shall not believe in Evolution until the chasm between the animate and inanimate, shall be satisfactorily bridged over." We would acknowledge from our old "Compagnon dc Voyage," Judge Austin, papers relating to General Cesnola's recent discoveries in Cyprus, where it was our privilege in January, 1870, to inspect with him some remarkable " antiques" and "curios," which the General, had just exhumed from the ruins of an ancient Temple We enjoyed the rare opportunity of examining these "reliques" when first dug up and which have attracted so much attention in Europe and America. The recent discoveries relate to a period prior to both Roman and Grecian occupancy of the Isle of Cyprus. These "reliques," are valued at £12,000 or $60,000 : "The result of these tedious labors was the discovery of the treasure which is now offered to the trustees ofthe British Museum, and will probably, subject to the report of Dr. Birch and Mr. Newton, become the property of the nation. It is, indeed, an amazing treasure to which the finder introduced us the other day, for the contents of the first found chamber proved to be not fewer than 550 objects of gold and gems, consisting of diadems, or portions of diadems, and perfect rings, earrings, bracelets, necklets, large solid coiled armlets, some being nearly as thick as one's little finger, and golden leaves; besides a gold cup five inches and a half in diameter, and more than two inches deep, solid, beautifully decorated with a pattern of Egyptian work in lines of lotus in repoussee, finished on the inside with a tool, and worn evidently by frequent use. The rings comprise signets of gems, engraved, in many cases, with art of the highest order, and all being in perfect condition. There were likewise cylinders'of Babylonian ongin and use, some of which have been ascribed by Assyriologists to epochs, respectively, 1600, 1200, and 600 years B. C. A very considerable portion of the gems are scarabei of fine workmanship and easily recognizable origin; some of them bear Greek letters, others characters which are, severally, Egyptian or Assyrian. Not a few of the intagli are of the loveliest style. Among these we may notice an archaic Greek one, exhibiting Pluto and Proserpine. This, one authority has averred to be the finest example of its order in existence. Another gem bears Boreas, designed and sculptured with wonderful spirit; on a third is a naked figure, probably Venus. Of the Egyptian and Assyrian periods a great number of the finest instances exhibit sacred subjects. The materials are agate, onyx, cardelian, chalcedony, jasper, sard. This large discovery of engraved gems is likely, we understand, to affect the conclusions arrived at by experts in regard to some of the most important bearings of the subject to which these students are devoted, to throw quite unexpected light on the history of the glyptic art, and to correct many judgments hitherto held unchallengeable. Some of the gold ornaments are of hardly inferior value in history and art to the gems. Among these several are declared equal to the best Etruscan examples in design and execution, where comparisons can be made between chosen works. This class of relics includes objects, probably fibulae, which are enriched with superbly wrought Chimsrsß, rosettes, and honeysuckle-like decorations of Greek fashion, but subject to a decided and obvious Assyrian influence. Some are of solid gold, some of silver on gold, some of gold on 1877. 3 IUID FRIEND, JANUARY, silver, some of gold on bronze; a few are of hollow gold. Some comprise enamels in the filling in of the petals of flowers and the eyes of the Chimera*,, a material which has been illustrated in a similar service with regard to certain articles of bronze discovered in one of the other chambers. The only objects not wholly of gold which occurred in the first chamber were three beautiful rock crystal amphora, mounted in gold, a very large signet ring, or stamp, and three other rings of the same material; a necklace of rock crystal beads, alternating with golden ones, and having a pendant of rock crystal shaped like a bottle." "New England in the Pacific." At a late meeting of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, held in Boston, a paper was read by J. W. Austin, Esq., and reported as follows in a Boston newspaper: Hon. James W. Austin of Boston then read the paper of the afternoon. Judge Austin chose for his subject, "New England in the Pacific, 1' but he desired to speak more particularly of the influence that New England had exerted on the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands. These islands are fast approaching their centennial jubilee, for on the 19th of January, 1778, Captain Cook made them known to the civilized world; although it is thought with some reason that they were known to the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. This discovery of the Sandwich Islands is particularly interesting to us because John Ledyard, a native of New England, and one of the earliest and most renowned of Americdh travelers, was one of the officers of Cook's expedition. A sketch was given of his life, which was full of incident, showing his superior qualities and his varied experiences. An account was given of his fast voyage up the Nile and of his death at Cairo in 1788. Instances were given of some of the early voyages from Boston to the South Seas, and the influence they exerted on the native race. Reference was made to the first missionaries of American Board of Foreign Missions, who left Boston for the Hawaiian Islands in 1819, services shortly before their departure having been held in the Park street Church. More than one hundred missionaries had gone from our shores, and one million dollars had been expended on the mission, which had proved one of the most successful ever established. A great amount of good had been accomplished, and the native race had been lifted from the darkness and despair of heathenism to a purer and brighter life. The thanks of the society were voted to Judge Austin for his valuable and interesting paper. Professor Niemeyer of Yale College has painted a life size portrait of Captain Cook, which he has presented to the Vale University boat club. It was painted immediately after last summer's victories" and is an unusually good likeness. It will he placed permanently in the new boat house. �4 THE FKIENI), THE FRIEND. JANUARY 1. 1877.

It affords us great joy to welcome this company of Christian Chinamen. We are confident the influence is to be most salutary upon the Chinese community throughout the islands. �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1877. Rev. H. W. Beecher.—As the Friend has ever refrained from publishing articles, either pro or con, relating to the famous Brooklyn preacher while the trials have been going forward, we take great pleasure in now publishing the fact that Mr. Moulton has withdrawn his suit in the civil courts and paid the costs, and that the ecclesiastical association of which Mr. B. was a member has come out with the declaration, that "we regard our brother as worthy of our confidence and love, and express to him our sympathy in the severe trial through which he has passed." We hope this is the end of the long series of most malicious and unrighteous prosecutions of the greatest preacher of the age. The ancients had a saying that to understand a man, you must see how he carries himself in adversity. Never did a man, preacher or layman, carry himself more nobly than Mr. Beecher has done during these long years of persecution and prosecution. We don't-believe there is another minister of the gospel of any denomination, who could or would have gone so bravely and steadily forward with his pulpit, platform and editorial labors. If at any stage of these trials the conduct of Mr. Beecher could have been submitted to a jury selected away from Brooklyn and New York city, or in foreign lands, we believe he would long since have been honorably acquitted. He may not always have been " wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove," but it is very certain that he has had a difficult part to play, and no doubt has come out a wiser and better man. It is to be hoped every gospel minister in America and the world will hereafter be more circumspect and prudent from the terrible struggle and experience through which Mr. Beecher has been called to pass. Simple Trust.—One of our correspondents thus writes " We must not be over- : anxious. I often think of the Christian sailor who when asked what he would do if his ship was lost, replied, ' God holds the sea in the hollow of his hand, —1 should fall into his hand, and where could I be safer' 7 If we could always have such simple childlike faith, how much happier we should be." 5 — A Can, Ha) let*.

That self-love is according to the will of God, is evident from the second great command, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." When self-love becomes exorbitant, it is wrong, it is selfishness : and selfishness is to be avoided and exterminated as the very essence of sin.

In the discipline and management attention is given to the improvement and reformation of the prisoners. Inducements are offered them to profit by experience, and to ameliorate their own condition. Their rights are recognized, and one great aim is to induce them to reform. In many prisons libraries, reading rooms, evening schools and religious services are maintained. And it might appear as though they were not much to be pittied. But under the most improved system, and the The subject of prisoners is not ene to awaken pleasant thoughts and associations, still it is one which ought to call forth interest. Often as prisoners are seen at their ignoble labor, or inarching in silence to or from their place of confinement, feelings of aversion arise, and the subject is dismissed with relief. Or feelings that their punishment is merited, that they have brought on themselves their bondage, frees the mind of pity and sympathy.

Said a good brother the other day, referring to the advertisement ot the week of prayer, I see they are petting ready for another spell of Machine Praying." The devout Tartar fastens a written prayer to the rim of the prayer wheel and causes it to spin rapidly, each revolution counts as a complete prayer, the greater the number of revolutions, the more credit will he get with his particular deity, and the more rapidly he spins the wheel, the sooner will he be through his devotions. The believing Romanist repeats the Lord's prayer aver and over again, keeping tally on his beads ; the greater the number of repetitions the better. Against Protestants, the charge of machine praying lies with less apparent force, though, doubtless, purely mechanical praying is exceedingly common among them. The idea of the annual week of prayer is no more open to a charge of this kind than is the regular observance of public worship on Sundays, though both may be and often are carried out in an unworthy spirit. The week of prayer is similar in purpose to the Episcopalian and Roman Catholic Lent, and though of a more popular character, has similar benefits. It should be welcomed and gladly observed, rather than avoided and ridiculed. We are well aware that this period of prayer and worship is too often made the occasion of carefully planned efforts for religious excitement; that it is selected before-hand as a good opportunity for getting up what is called a revival of religion, and the luke-warmness and indolence of the year is atoned for by what might be called a religious spurt, in which a nervous, unhealthy emotion is apt to be produced, especially among children who, of all others, should be shielded from such influences. But such a feature of the week of prayer no more belongs to it than the clouds belong to the mountain-top which they obscure. We regard it as the duty of our doubtful brother to attend and contribute his influence to make the season one of glad " worship and heartfelt prayer. Rev. Ausgustus Blauvelt has been suspended by tbe Classis of the Reformed (Dutch) church, to which he belonged, because his views are not in accordance with the formulas of the church. If his brethren did not agree with him, and did not choose to stand sponsors for him, they had a perfect right to say so, and this is all that suspension cojnes to. We dissent from most that is peculiar in Mr. Blauvelt's views, but we do not suppose that his next articles in Scribner will have one less reader or any less consideration from its readers because he is suspended.— Christian Union. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
