coasts of South and North America, thence
crossing over to Asiatic shores and so onward around and among the Australian
Colonies, and all the Polynesian Islands.
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.
We see in this mighty movement a fulfillment ofthe old Hebrew prophet's prediction,

THE FRIEND.
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.

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

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

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

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,

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.

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.

The Chinese immigrants referred to in the

immigrants exhibited, an uncommonly flattering certificate from Mrs. E. Bender. 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."

Machine Praying.
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.

Retirement of Judge Allen.
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 :

The above statement does not include a

dollars.
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.

cial life. 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. The cruise of tbe
field in Gilbert Islands, proceeds to the Y. S. Morning Star has been quite prosperous and

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

flashing serpents. 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

Results of Mr. Moody's Preaching in
meetings conducted by Mr.
Moody and Mr. Sankey, at Chicago, came
to a close on Sunday, Ijjec. 21, having been
continued eleven weeks, with unabated and
increasing interest. 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."

seems to us, Mr. Cook may be supplying.

THE FRIEND.
FKHKIARV i. 1977.
Letter from Japan.
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

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."
The "Sunbeam."—This is the name of a beautiful vessel, belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron

Commander Brown, R. N., Herbert F. Frere, Esq.,
and Dr. Percy Potter. Mr. Brassey we learn is Vice
Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, of which
the Prince of Wales is Commodore. The Sunbeam
left England July Bth, and has since visited Madeira,
Rio dc Janeiro, Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, and
steamed around Cape Horn to Valparaiso, and
Tahiti, arriving at Hilo on tbe 2*2dinsi. We regret
that our space to-day will not allow of a description
of tbe beautiful Sunbeam, and can only add that
she proceeds next week on the voyage to Japan, and
that after visiting China and tbe East Indies she
will return home via tbe Suez canal.— P. C. A.

But oftener, far oftener
When weary eyes aeek rest and peace
From contemplating thee, the

The glens, thy sides adorning.
And flooding all thy bosom;
While lender cloudlets In Heecy

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."

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."

Evolution.
The frequent allusion to this subject in
pur pages has called forth the following from
one of our correspondents :
" Evolution ! The more 1 hear of it, the
more I shrink from it, as from a fearful precipice, down which men are hurling themselves. As I am meeting constantly those
who are clinging to a shadow which yields
to the toucß, my heart aches with pity for
them ; they stand on waves which are ever
sinking beneath them, their hearts are full of
shadows where no peaceful light shines. Jf
they could but feel for a moment the warm,
brotherly grasp of the " Leader's" hand
and His voice wbisperiqg " Peace," they
would turn forever from this sad, bewildering chaos of human devising " without form
and void." I don't blame, only pity, pity.
" While every day 1 feel that the horizon
is growing more and more extended, and \
see something of the grand and glorious
things that mnn has wrought and the prophecies of future achievements, still with a
more simple chifd-like trust do I cling (o pur
dear, old faith in One who guides the affairs
of this universe by His almighty will and
yet who is " Our Father," to whom these
glorious snow-crowned Alps are but a footstool,and yet whoreaches down to take us poor
weak, faulty human beings into the embrace
of His tender, pitying love."
"Love is nothing else but goodness
motion, or applied."
put in
Rev. Mr. Cook's Lectures.—We would
acknowledge a continuation of the Reports
of these Lectures as published in the Boston
Advertiser from J. W. Austin, Esq. Mr.
Cook appears to have made a decided impression upon a " Boston audience." He
does not hesitate to criticise, sharply, Emerson, Theodore Parker, and all that class of
authors whom the Bostonians have been
idolizing. In this respect Mr. Cook is a
perfect Iconoclast, casting down, knocking
aside and attacking the idols of Boston.
He tells the evolutionists that before life can
be evolved it must be involved, that there
cannot be an effect without a cause. It is
refreshing to know that a man of Mr. Cook's
marked ability boldly throws down the
gauntlet and challenges sceptics to the encounter. His Lectures appear to be a good
prelude in Boston to the ndvent of Moody
and Sankey. These evangelists are laboring in Boston.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 2.
Geneva, December 14th, 18T6.
The goal is at last attained, and this
charming city, towards which 1 have been
looking for so long a time, is reached. Mt.
Blanc and the wonderful Alps, and the
beautiful lake have welcomed me. I am

Geneva is the most fascinating of cities.
It is most thrilling to feel that you are in
the midst of the very scenes where the grand
Reformation took place. A thousand channels of historic interest seem opening before
me, and the air seems peopled with those
who once lived in these quaint old houses

spend much tims there. Here is a famous
picture of Calvin. What an intense face!
The very ideal of a reformer.
On our return, called at La Chatelaine. It
is also called the
" Institute Thudichum." It
is situated about one mile from the main
of Geneva, though the city itself
comes very near. On all sides arc situated
beautiful private residences, with wide
spreading lawns and grand old trees, sometimes covered with ivy. Mt. Blanc and
Lake Leman are to be seen on one side, the
Juras on the other and ihe city lies at our
feet. Nothing could be finer than the situation. The building was completed last July.
It is fully ns large as the Queen's Hospital,
nnd cnn be seen from almost every point in
streets
the country round about.
Mr. Thudichum, a pleasant German gentleman, has been teaching for many years in
Geneva, but lately conceived the idea of
starting a school on a grand scale which
-should be the finest in Switzerland nnd perhaps in Central Europe. No expenne has
been spared. The reception rooms, large
and spacious, are elegantly fitted up, and
overlook the city. There are gymnastic and'
billiard rooms. There are masters in every
language which is desired, and the whole
school is on the most advanced plan.— He
especially wanted an American teacher, and
invited me to nccept the position, and to
come immediately. Hence here I am to remain foi the present in this magnificent institution to teach English and receive
instruction in French, German and Italian.
If I had desired, I could have had a class in
Latin and Greek, but I preferred to be quite
independent of regular classes, as I wanted
the time for my own reading and study. It is
the finest place in Geneva for me, as I am
free at any moment to leave, nnd here I am
to remain for the present. Is not this
doing pretty well for the first day in Geneva ?

organ. The Rev. Dr. Bacon lately resigned
active duties as Pastor, but the church goes
on as ever. The children were gathered
and classes soon formed. Among the pleasant people whom I met here were the Rev.
Dr. and Mrs. Stevens. He has been a prominent worker in the Methodist Church nnd
editor of several of their leading papers at
different times. They are warm-hearted
Christian people. There were also present,
the Misses Olmsteads, interesting young
ladies from New York; Mrs. McKay, friend
of Dr. Storrs, and Mrs. Doremns, and Miss
Miller, a friend and fellow-worker with Mr.
Moody; she has but recently returned from
Palestine. Then there arc many more of
whom 1 can tell you at another time. Somehow it makes me think of Honolulu, every
one is so cordial, and there is a way of
adopting you right into the circle which
makes you feel that you have always been
with them—that is charming. The Sabbath
School is most interesting. They put me in

dear little boys whom I had to teach this
first Sunday, and who nearly screamed with
delight ivhcn 1 hinted to them that some
week-day I would talk to them about Hawaiian Postage Stamps.—The sermon, by a
Baptist Clergyman, was very good.
In the evening went down to No. 10 Rue
Bonivard, where the Americans gather for a
prayer-meeting, or some other appropriate
exercise. This particular evening Mr. Bacon
gave us a most interesting lecture on the
in the Gene" Escalade," aforfamous incident
vese struggle
liberty, and theanniversary
of which they celebrated last week. He has
just sent to the Congregationalist an article
on this subject.
On Monday evenings the Americnns hold
a little sociable. It is a pleasant and informal affair.
On Saturday evening we had a most enjoyable soiree at the school. There was a
great deal of music. Our music master
plays superbly. We had recitations and a
little play by the boys, and nil manner of
amusements and diversions. One very pretty
affair, called in Germany the Kinder (children's) Symphony. A number of them bad

preacher, in his black Geneva gown, with
bands nnd under the high sounding board,
was most suggestive ol Calvin. The singing, free from an organ acconfpaniment, wns
wonderfully sweet and true.
Had a stroll by the Arve. How marvelously every turn I take in Switzerland brings
up Miss BremeT's book of Swiss travels
which I read with you last summer. At
three, attended an organ concert at St.
Pierre, the grand old cathedral, whose history goes back many hundreds of years; yes,
even its foundations are heathen. It was
once the temple of Apollo. Here Calvin
preached—here Catholicism yielded to the
Reformation. The Gothic arches are superb.
You can imagine better than I can tell you
how I enjoyed the Christmas music as it
floated to me through such a storied atmos-
phere.
Dr. Bacon this morning gave us a most
interesting and original Christmas sermon,
nnd nt our little gathering this evening, Dr.
Stevens talked to ns in a very delightful and
suggestive manner on the " lmitntion of
Christ," by .Thomas A'Kempis. What a
wonderful history this little book has bad !
Hallnin, Renan. Wesley, nnd many other
believers and sceptics have written upon il;
and it hns been translated into scores of languages, and passed through hundreds of
editions. Mndame dc Stael died with it in
her hands. It is the very purest essence of
saintly love and aspiration.
While waiting for our evening service, I
attended a most interesting gathering of the
members of the Free Swiss Church. The
singing was most sweet, and the audience,
earnest and devout. It lias bsjen a Sabbath
full of rich comfort.
To-night, as we sangJVloody and Sankey
Hymns, it seemed as if the bond of brotherly
union was very strong. There were Scotch,
English and Americans. The little group
was one you would havebeen happy to have
met.
Our Sabbath School Christmas Tree wns
a brilliant success. The children sang so
sweetly their carols. We had a fine Santa
Claus, who brought me a beautiful view of
the Castle Chillon, on Lake Leman, of
which Byron sings.
Agreeable as was Christmas, New Year's
has been far more brilliant. It is the great
festival of the year, and through the kindness
of my friends, I have had a rare opportunity
of seeing something of the, methods of its
observance.

Editorial Note.—As the letter from our
European correspondent has failed to reach
us we have taken the liberty to fill the open
space allotted to it with extracts from private
letters. Dr. Bacon, referred to in the above,

�THE FRIEND.
Burned at Sea.
We have received a letter from the Hawaiian Missionary, Rev. J. H. Kekela, dated
Hivaoa, Marquesas, announcing the burning
of the British merchant ship Ada Iredale.
This letter contains a postscript, by John
Stewart, late master of the Ada Iredale,
dated San Francisco, where he had gone.
In this letter Capt. Stewart remarks —" lam
now in a fair way of getting home again,
but 1 shall never forget the kindness and
hospitality shown us on landing at the Island
of Hivaoa, as we were perfectly destitute
and starving, having been on a half pint of
water per day for ten days, and I take this
opportunity of returning my sincere thanks
for all his kindness (Rev. J. H. Kekela) to
myself and crew, trusting he may have
every prosperity on his island home."
This is the second instance wherein the
Rev. Mr. Kekela, Hawaiian Missionary, has
been enabled to manifest signal aid to seafaring' persous in distress. So marked was
(he other instance, that the United States
Government appropriated $500 in gold during the war, (when gold was worth $2.50 in
currency) to be donated to the purchase of
presents for the Rev. Mr. Kekela and others.
A gold watch, we believe, fell to his lot,
with President Lincoln's. name inscribed
upon it.
The following notice of the loss of the
Ada Iredale we copy from the San Francisco
Bulletin :
The schooner John Bright, which arrived
yesterday afternoon from Tahiti, brings
news of disaster to two vessels—the missing
British ship Ada Iredale and the bark Beulah of Quebec. The latter went on the reef
when coining out of the harbor of Tahiti,
nnd the vessel and cargo is a total loss. The
John Bright brought Captain Stewart, of the
Ada Iredale, nnd three of his apprentices as
passengers. Capt. Stewart and his crew were
picked up by the schooner at Neauka Hioa,
Marquesas Islands, and conveyed from there
to Tahiti, at which point the crew were left.
Capt. Stewart's ill-fated ship took fire on the
13th of October, and on the 15th, officers
and men were compelled to abandon her to
her fate. The story of the disaster is thus
told by Capt. Stewart:
The ship sailed from Androssau, Scotland,
June 20th, with a cargo of coal, and rounded
Cape Horn with no more than the usual incidents of such a voyage, and all proceeded
smoothly up the South Pacific, until 15° S,
108° W, was reached, Oct. 13th. A fire
was discovered in the coal underneath the
main hatch. Every means were taken to
put the fire out—tne hatches were taken off
and the cargo taken out to a point where tbe
heat became so great as to drive the crew
away. After 36 hours struggling with the
fire, the decks were blown up by the accumulated gas, and all hands were compelled
to take lo the boats. The crew consisted of
the Captain, first and second mates, carpenter, cook, steward, 12 able seamen and 5

apprentices, 23 all told. The boats were
lowered and what things necessary that
could be hastily gathered were put in. In
hauling the Captain's boat alongside after it
had been filled, it capsized, nnd everything,
including chronometers, compasses, etc , excepting a sextant was lost. The state of the
burning wreck prevented a visit to it lo get
anything, and the little fleet started on its
long voyage with the barest necessaries. For
the first six days after leaving the wreck the
Captain attempted to bear up for the Gallipagos Islands, 1200 miles away, but a strong
westerly current prevented his making any
headway in that direction, so he hud to bear
ofT to the Marquesas Islands, 2400 miles
away. The long voyage was begun with
good winds, and the three boats made good
time. Between two and three weeks out
heavy weather was encountered, and on November 3d one of the boats capsized and
was lost: its crew, however, being saved, except Wm. Duuver, the ship's carpenter. The
stores and supplies went down with the boat.
As this boat carried most of the water the
nccident was a serious one, and from that
time on the allowance doled out to the voyagers was of the shortest. On the 11th of
Nov. Donnevick. one of the Marquesas Islands, was reached. It was none too soon,
for the Captain and crew had been reduced
to three wine glasses of water a day, nnd, ns
by the capsizing of the Captain's boat the
day they left the ship, nearly all the bread
was lost, they had but two biscuits daily
apiece, thefr condition and the joy with
which they welcomed the land can be much
better imagined than related.
This voyage is probably one of the longest ever made in open boats in mid-ocean,
and its success speaks well for the Captain
and his crew. Capt. Stewart says he was
not very sanguine of getting on shore, but
he resolved not to miss any chances, and
kept his boats together at all times ; and to
make sure that they would not separate at
night, had lashed them together. Beyond
the suffering from the short allowance there
was no great discomfort experienced, and
the health of the men was excellent. After
staying at Donnevick two weeks, the officers
and crew sailed for Tahiti on the John
Bright, reaching there Dec. 12th. There
the crew were paid off, and with the exception of the three apprentices named above,
were left by the Captain. The second mate,
cook, steward and 8 seamen were to have
sailed in the whaler Coral, of New Bedford,
after Capt. Stewart left. The latter intends

praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a

have taken the " horn " and are now blowing it most vigorously and sonorously. Read

Grand Eruption.
We have received the following from the
Rev. Mr. Coan, —(the Bishop of Volcanoes
on Hawaii:)
" We have had n magnificent cruplion on
Manna Loa. It was first seen between nine
and ten p. in. It burst out a little distance
south of Mokuaweowco, and seemed to flow
towards Kahuku, in Kau. The stream of
light appeared to spread from twenty to
thirty miles over the mountain, and rose
grandly to the height of twenty thousand
feet towards the zenith, like the out-spreadings of a flaming eagle..
The light mis so strong as to project the
shndows of objects in our town. It seemed
to surpass in grandeur any eruption within
the past ten years. But it is cloudy on the
mountain, nnd all is obscured. This is a
little tantalizing, but it is in wiser hands
than ours; so 'If the vision tarry, we wait
for it.' "
Since the übovc was written, a party of
sight-seers visited Hawaii, confirming this
report, and more definitely describing the
eruption, which appears to have taken place
as related, on the summit of Manna Loa,
but to have also found a discharge of lava
under water, near Kealakckua Bay, between
one and two miles from the spot where Capt.
Cook was killed The earth is emcked or
seamed for miles from the shore, and steam
is issuing, while under water an eruption
has occurred, and immense quantities of
cinder or scoria is rising to the surface. The
steamer passed near the spot and brought
specimens.
Custom House Statistics.
We publish to-day the Annual Kcport of
Colonel Allen, Collector General of Customs, for the year 1876. The exhibit is encouraging, showing, as it does, an increase
in the exports of domestic produce of nearly
$220,000 over the previous year. But
from this sum must be deducted the value
of the cargo of the bark American Lloyds,
which consisted of produce which had been
returned to Honolulu from San Francisco
for reshipment, for the sake of avoiding
duties. In the excess of exports over imports amounting to $429,271,35, some allowance must be made for the same reason.
The imports show an increase in value of
$64,476,14 over 1875, a result which is attributable to the reciprocity treaty.
The decrease in the value of foreign exports is in consequence, chiefly, of the destruction of the whaling fleet, and the resulting failure of the usual supplies of oil and
bone.
1877.
The decrease of the amount of liquor
taken for consumption would seem to indicate a growth of temjicmnce principles; but
we presume it may more correctly be attributed, in part, to the loss of the whaling
fleet, and very likely, to some extent, to an
increase of illicit distillation in the country.
The excess in the number of passengers
arriving, over those departing, cannot all be
set down as an increase of population, as
the crews of the lost whaleships came back
to the country as passengers, nnd the
greater jmrtofthem immediately left again
as seamen. A portion of the remaining
excess consists of the Chinese immigrants
who were introduced during the year.
We shall give the next issue our Annual
Resume of Agriculture and Commerce for
the year 1876.
The decrease in customs receipts amounts
to but $14,410.81 which is much less than
was anticipated. We still believe that after
a year or two the increase of business in the
country will more than make up all deficiencies in revenue, resulting from the action of the treaty. Hawaiian Gazette

THK FRIEND, MARCH,
Late Cruise of the Morning Star.
Knowing the dangers nnd difficulties attending navigation in the remote groups of
islands scattered over the Pacific, it is a
matter for devout thanksgiving when the
Morning Star returns safe and sound. The
Mission Board and the friends of missions
arc fortunate in having in their employ n
good seaman und nn excellent navigator.
Capt. Colcord has safely Drought the vessel
ofT from a second cruise,nnd she is now
lying in our harbor and undergoing repairs
for another trip. She left Honolulu July 5,
1876, and cruised among the islands of the
Gilbert, Marshall nnd Caroline Groups, delivering the supplies at the several stations
As allusions have so frequently been made
in our island newspapers to missionary operations in those groups, we shnll confitioour
notice principally to the Mortlock Group.
£. Bailey, £sq., of Wuiluku, sailed in
the Morning Star as the Delegate. Since
his return he has read before the members of
the Hawaiian Board n full report, which
was listened to with intense interest, although
occupying, in its reading, nearly two hours;
covering sixty pages of manuscript, closely
written. It is now being published in the
native (Lahiii Hawaii) newspaper, nnd
will no doubt prove interesting to the Hawaiian patrons and contributors to the funds of
the Hawaiinn Missionary Soriety. A copy
will also be forwarded to the Mission House
in Boston.
We learn that it is Mr. Bailey's intention
to prepare a volume for publication in the
English language, should he go East. He
has secured many sketches of natural scenery and other matters relating to that
almost unknown pnrt of the world. His
skill with a pencil is well known from some
landscape paintings which he has executed,
one of which was on exhibition at the Centennial—the view of Wailuku Valley—
which wns greatly admired. We sincerely
hope he may be able to carry out his plans,
for Micronesia is really the only part of the
Pacific which has not been explored.
in order to fully understand and appreciate the great and useful work which has
been accomplished by the labor of missionaries in that part of (he world, it should bo remembered, that only a quarter of a century
has elapsed since the mission was originally
established. In 1852 the Omroline sailed
from Honolulu with the little church of ten
members organized at the Bethel, and made
up of six foreigners and four Hawaiians, or
five families. All the foreigners are still
living. That parent church of ten members
has been increased to several hundred and
separate churches have been organized in
18 77.
the Gilbert, Marshall, Caroline and Mortlock
Groups.
The mission on the Mortlock Group has
been established but two years, and already
embraces a membership of 300. The Morning Star spent two weeks cruising among
the islands of this group, where there are
stationed native missionaries from Ascension.
Remarks Mr. Bailey : We remained fifteen
and a half days in the Mortlock. Group. In
the course of our stay we visited the stations
of Unninp, Lukunar, Sairau, Ta, Elal, Kutu
and Mar, remaining and working a day at
each place, and forming churches'in places
where one had not been formed before. All
these places arc supplied with teachers from
Ascension or Ponape, though in some cases
one teacher has charge of two stations. The
whole population of this group is supposed
to be about 3,500. Three years ago teachers were left among them, and at that time
they were a perfectly heathen people. Now
the whole population may be snid to be
Christianized. All our intercourse with the
people wns of a most pleasing nature.
If our limits would permit we should be
glad to publish Mr. Bailey's Journal or Report in full, but it would occupy more than
our entire sheet. Suffice it, the friends of
missions have much to encourage them in
this remote part of the Pacific. Tho demand'is (or an increased number of foreign
und native laborers, and it is to be hoped
tnnt when the Morning Star makes another
trip, new missionaries will bo in readiness to

TheNew Guinea Mission.—A letter by
Dr. W. Y. Turner, who has recently
returned from this mission, was published in
the S. M. Herald. We learn Irom it the
gteat difficulty there is in thedcndly climate,
and that the Key. VV. G. Lawes and his
family have suffered much. Several of the
native teachers have also died. There are
now fourteen teachers and their wives at
work in villages along the coast from seventeen miles to the west to ten miles to the
cast of Port Moresby. Services are held in
the native language at the several stations.
Mr. Lawes has acquired the language used
at Port Moresby, and has been translating
a Bible history and some hymns into it for
the use of the tcacherc. It is a serious
question whether the China Straits would
not prove a more healthy rentre lor the
forces of the mission. Mr. Lawes may be
able to go there to try the climate. There is
great danger of losing his valuable services,
owing to the state of his health. We have
heard that the little steam vessel purchased
for this mission by the liberality of Miss
Baxter is already nearly useless. The Rev.
W. Y. Turner, M. B. C. M, is an ordained
medical missionary of the United Presbyterian Church, employed by the London Missionary Society. His young wife died
lately at Cape York, and he has come to
Sydney with his little baby. He is willing
to give us temporary supply in preaching.—
Australian Witness, Jan. 1877.

Adams' Illustrated Map of History.
On visiting Thrum & Oat's Book-store a
few days since, our attention was arrested by
an Historical Map, which we have been
carefully examining. It embraces the outline
of the world's history and in n form most
instructive. It is a map on rollers as well
as in book form, and when spread out is
twenty-two feet long by two und one-half
fec t wide. It must prove a most remarkable
assistant to any one who is teaching a class
of pupils in history, either ancient or modern. Every school should have a copy, and
by the aid of a little explanation a pupil will
leurn more of history in a few hours than
could be conveyed by months of touching in
the old method. Such a map, in a family,
with nn occasional lecture from an intelligent parent, would be invaluable in the way
of imparling useful knowledge. We would
call the special attention of parents, teachers,
and others to its excellencies. Copies are to
be seen at the Book-store and at Dillingham's. We have not inquired the price.
The Scientific American remarks: "It
is an educational novelty which, after examination, we can recoiiiuiend to teachers and
students as a valuable and useful aid to
study. The plan adopted is a very ingenious one—is such that the student sees at a
glani-c exactly the condition of the world at
any given dale. We need not point out
the obvious utility of this remarkable production."

�Pure religion and undeflled before God, the Father, is this :
To visit thefatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from the world,
A Practical Religion
New York City, January 19, 1877
In the January number of the Friend, I
noticed a short article on " Machine Praying," nnd while I heartily endorse most of
its sentiments, I fear there is in it n germ
which might possibly lead some persons to
erroneous conclusions. The writer says, in
spenking of the Week of Prayer, " We are
well aware that this period of prayer and
worship is too often made the occasion of
carefully planned efforts for religions excitement; that it is selected before-hand as a
good opportunity for getting up what is
called a revival of religion," &c.
Now I do not in any degree advocate
excitements." I believe such efreligious
"
fervescence is, for the most part, the overbubbling of the physical rather than the
spiritual nature, but I am a most hearty indorser of revivals of religion," because I
"
know of men all around me who have been
reclaimed from lives, not of vice nnd misery
only, but from lives of crime against both
God and man, and who first were impressed
with the importance of this subject in revival- meetings. U is an indisputable truth
that the church should always be in a revived
state, and it is the best argument which the
world can use, to point to a cold body of
Christians.
" According to our faith "it is
always unto us," and it any church desires
"
the spirit of God, it will have Him in their
midst. The difficulty is, men will not make
their religion practical. Religion is religion
to spme persons, just the same as " business
is business "to some others. They are unable to separate in their own minds the worship of God from the proper observance of
the Sabbath day and family prayers

Esuch

her desire to be a follower of Christ. The
other, a young man who had been leading
one of the worst of lives, and who was in a
similar way brought under the influence of
the Gospel. Many months have past since
these two—of course utter strangers to each
other—first confessed to their Master before
men, but to-day the former is striving to lead
others to the same Savior she has found, nnd
the latter is a noble Christian man working
for his Lord among the vile and outcasts of
society. That is what I call a practical
religion.
Paul l«\ Sijtphen,
Assistant Secretary Y. M. C. A ,of the
United States and British Provinces,
and to nations that have attempted to live
and thrive by renouncing the Sabbath as a
sacred day. Acts are abundant which show
the absolute necessity of the day of rest for
the preservation of our bodily health; anil
also that Christianity cannot survive in any
land or in any soul, where the Sabbath is
not regarded as a day set apart for a special
religious observance and worship.
So while zealously maintaining the dearly
bought religious liberty, transmitted to us by
our forefathers, let us lie careful that we are
not led along to a looseness of faith and
practice, more dangerous to the purity and
safety of the church than were the dungeon,
the rack, or the fagot.
Religious Liberty,

holy word without let or hindrance from
priestly surveillance or control, it meant the
privilege of worshiping God as the conscienco
enlightened by the word and the spirit of
God dictated; instead ol following blindly
the prescribed forms of " Holy Mother
Church." It meant to hold communion direct with God, by repentance and confession
of sin to Him alone, instead af going through
the priests' confessional. For the maintainance of this religious liberty, men have been
willing to suffer the loss of all things else,
even of life itself,—as " the glorious army of
martyrs " testify, having bought this liberty
at such a price, is it a wonder that it was
held to, and transmitted to their posterity,as
a most precious and sacred boon t

The strict observance of the Sabbath for

pere hyacinths.
,
One of the pleasant events of the past
week was a little dinner party at Monsieur
Poullin's, where I met la Pere Hyacinthe "
and his American wife, Madame Loyson. It
was another of those kind acts which the
Poullins have shown me*since being in Geneva. Father Hyacinthe is a noble looking
man, reminding me somewhat of Mr. Beecher. He speaks the most beautiful French,
but scarcely a word of English. His whole
address is charming and easy, and I had a
most excellent opportunity of seeing him in
a family where he is most familiar and quite
at home. I enjoyed seeing and talking with
him extremely, but of the two Madame Loyson is the more interesting. She is a thoroughly practical, earnest, vigorous American
woman, who lakes broad views of life, is
cultured and refined in every respect, and is
devoted in her love to her husband and the
Reformed Catholic movement. She told me
that for twelve years she was a memlier of
Mr. Beecher's church, but at last she had
lound that for which her heart hungered.
They still hold to the Virgin, Confession,
Transubstantiation. but not to the Pope All
the things which I have mentioned they are
modifying very much, so that Madame Loyson tald me that they stood in many respects
very closely with the High Church party in
England. What stand Pere Hyacinthe will
take in the future is yet to be seen, of course
very many think he will go no farther, and
that he is not the stuff of which Reformers are made. Certainly he is a warmhearted, eloquent, lofty-spirited man They
are most happy in their married life, and
have one or two children.
We had music—a number of hymns in
French and English. Madame Loyson and
I sang " Jesus Lover of my Soul," and we
both felt that though our creeds might diner
in minor respects, yet after all we had one
common platform of hope, one common and
blessed faith. The evening was one of the
most pleasant I have spent in Geneva.
Another delightful visit which 1 have
made since being in Geneva was at " Pasteur
Bards," where I breakfasted. J came to

acquainted, I imagine, with the Fulton
Street Prayer Meeting than many who live
much nearer the place.
Last week was the Week of Prayer which
was observed with much interest at Geneva.
A prayer meeting every day and preaching
in the evening. They are getting to sing
Sankey Hymns with much sweetness, and
you can imagine how pleasant it is to hear
these sweet hymns in French. There seem
to be runny earnest christians here and some
of the pastors make earnest addresses.
Sunday nfternoon, I went to the celebration
of the communion, at the close of the week
of prayer. It was a most interesting season,
and rendered doubly so to me, by the sur-

think we should find there was a kind of
fascination in this old Latin author of which
we had never dreamed before ? From my
window I can watch the shadows as they
come and go on the Jura. Daily I walk by
the Rhone and Lake Leman. You remember "Erant omnino itinera duo, quibus

But this triumph of the Genevese was one
of the grand incidents in history and on the
issue of that tumultuous night hung most
important events. There is something thrilling in the unanimous and vigorous action of
this city beset by such tremendous difficul-
ties. The citizens have loved to commemoFor many years its anniversary was the great fete of the town. But
of late years its observance has degenerated
very much and is now confined mainly to
the exploits of maskers in the streets. All
manner of songs took their rise in incidents
of that heroic night. 1 have before me most
fascinating accounts as given by the chroniclers, of the brave deeds and thrilling escape
of many of the Genevese. With my heart
and head full of these I have visited with
much interest the old Arsenal, where are
collected many relics of the event. Here
stand the grim and ancient armor of Savoyards who fell in the conflict. The heavy
helmet of one of the besiegers is still preserved; near by the ugly petard with which
he hoped to make his way into the city; you
see the dark lantern, the scaling ladders, the
arms and many other things which tell you
so much more plainly than can chronicles
or ballads the story of that fierce struggle
for liberty in the streets of Geneva. Back
of the old church of St. Gervais is the
grave of the citixets " who fell for the Republic." Simple and plain is the stone
which marks their resting place, but very
eloquent in its simplicity.
One experiences the oddest revulsion of
feelings in coming back to real and every
day life after spending an hour or two in
the shadows of the past. The old concierge
with his ponderous keys opens the daors of
church or relic-room, and you are almost
blinded by the glare and the rush of the

if you were the same person who had stood

opened up before you.

and is yearly becoming more bo. One meets
students at every turn. Private families are
often glad to take boarders who are desirous of
acquiring the French and specially is this true
often times in the homes of clergymen and professors. Tbe public schools are of a superior
order. Certainly the opportunities ibr acquiring
French and that too of the purest type are excellent. I can not think of a more charming
place for a family to come tor a winter, when
the parents are desirous to have tbe children become acquainted with souic of the modern
European languages.
During this winter nearly every evening lectures have been given, on almost every theme,
political, historical, literary, geographical, etc.,
etc. One cannot tail to be immediately struck
with .the intellectual atmosphere of the place.
All these lectures of which I have spoken are
entirely free and are for all who are willing to
come. Important as is the acquisition of French
and German for our American children, I am
more and more convinced that the larger share
of their education should be among English

tome:
We regret that our limited space, will not
allow the publication of Judge Fornander's
prospectus, in full. From this document
we learn, that according to his theory :
The Polynesians were originally members of
the" Aritin race, belonging to some outlaying
branch of that race in the direction of Susiana
and as far as Belouchistan and tbe head of the
Persian Gulf.''
From that region, they wandered, during
the last two thousand years, through India,
and the Indian Archipelago, until they
debouched in the Pacific Ocean and effected a
temporary foothold in the Fiji Group, sufficiently
"
long however to leave indelible traces of themselves in the Fijian language and on many of its
legends as well as the customs—that finally
expelled from there by the hostile Papuan race,
they scattered over the various groups in tho
southern, eastern, and northeastern parts ol the
Pacific now held by them; that tribal inter-
course was intermittently, more or less, kept up
for a long time between the various branches of
the Polynesian family until, at last, isolation,
new conditions of life, and other deteriorating
causes combined to obliterate, to confuse and to
over-lay with new and more and more crude
ideas, the arts, the culture, the creeds and
legends which they brought with them from
tbeir former homes beyond the setting sun.' "
'
We are confident such a book as Mr.
Fornander proposes to publish, will be
perused with interest by all interested in the
migration of races and their origin. We
understand that, it is proposed to publish the
work in Europe. It is just in the line of
publications issued, by the celebrated publishers, Trubner & Co., of London, and we
hope it will be carried successfully through
the press. Such scholars and philologists
as Max Muller will be found among iteager readers.
Our interest in the Polynesians, is deep
and abiding. A writer in our columns of
January, 1876, while writing about the
" Poetic Possibilities of the Pacific," thus
refers to the Polynesian race :
" Coming from a common parent-stock in tbe
dim past have these ocean-dwellers found new
homes among tbe countless islands of tbe

Hawaiian Centennial.
Has not the time arrived when the Hawaiian Government, British subjects, or some
other public spirited body, should take steps
for the proper commemoration of the Discovery of the Hawaiian Islands? We sincerely hope this memorable event in the
annals of maritime discovery, commerce and
civilization will not be allowed to pass unnoticed. Who will take the initiative steps?
This event should not be deemed devoid
of interest by Americans. Let it be remembered, that John Ledyard, the celebrated
American traveler, was attached to Captain
Cook's Exploring Expedition, and even wrote
a narrative of Cooks's death. Ledyard's
journal is now deposited in the British
Museum.
The following paragraph, copied from (he
January number of the American " Bibliotheca Sacra," and contained in an excellent
article on " Governmental Patronage of
Knowledge," indicates how essentially Dr.
Franklin's policy contributed to the advancement of knowledge and the honor of Young
America:
" In the very heat of our war lor independence, Dr. Franklin, as Plenipotentiary
of the United States in France, forbade
American privateers to molest the squadron
with which the British discoverer, Captain
Cook, was circumnavigating the globe.
France, in the interest of science, is said lo
have laid a similar interdict on her cruisers.
It is certain that Franklin did, and on those
of Spain also. In acknowledgment of
Franklin's magnanimity the British Admiralty sent him, as from the king, a presentation copy of Cook's voyages and a gold
medal."

Another link and almost the last, has been severed
of ihoee that connected Ibe Hawaiian Chiefs of tbe
daws of Kamebamcha and tbe present generation.
His Highness Charles Kanaioa, father t,f the late
King Lunalilo, died in tbia oily on Tuesday evening,
March 18tb, st tbe age of seventy-six Tbe deceased, though not a high chief by birth, was
all bia life an Intimate friend and companion of
prominent individuals of that class. He was the
pitnahele or companion of Kamehatneba 11., and
was married in 1826 lo Kekauluohi, (a daughter of
Kamehameha 1.,) who held the offioe of Kubina
Nui, or Premier, from 188» to 1849, tbe date of
her death. He was a member of the House of
Nobles and of the Privy Council of State, and
Knight Grand Cross of tbe Orders of Kamehameha
and Kalakana. The remains lay in state for several houra during Wednesday, March 14, at tbe late
residence of tbe deceased, Haimoeipo, and were
viewed by numerous visitosi. His Majesty the
King was present, accompanied by tbe Cabinet
Ministers and members of the Privy Council, and
attended by his suite.
On Thursday, March 16, tbe Attorney Generalapplied to the Supreme Court for tbe appointment of
Trustees under Ibe 3d article of the will of Lunalilo,
which was admitted to probate on tbe 12th of
March 1874. The provisions of that article in substance ant aa follows: That after tbe death of his
father. Charity Kanalna. and Hia Majesty Kamehameha V, Ihe testator dying without issue, all tbe
real estate of which he might die seized, was bequeathed to three Trustees to be appointed by the
Justices of the Supreme Court, to be held in trust,
for the purpose of sale nnd investment of proceeds
until the Bum of 825.000 shall be obtained, the
suid Trustees to expend that umounl In purchase
of land and the erection of a building or buildings

poor, destitute aod inllim people of Hawaiian
(aboriginal) blood or attraction, giving preference to old people.'' The following are the Trustees appointed by the Court: Hon. J. Motl Smith.
Ilofi. E. O. Hall. Sanford B. Dole. Esq.
Tbe funeral took plaoe on Thursday, Mnrch 20th,
and tho remains were deposited in tbe Mausoleum
erected by tbe decessed in Kawaiabao Cemetery,
by the side of bis son, King Lunalilo. He died
intestate, leaving a large property in real estate
in various parts of the islands, and as there is
said to be qnite a number of kinsmen of the deceased now living, a considerable amount of litigation may be anticipated over the disposition
of Ihe property, aside frnm tbe bequest hy Lunalilo
of $26,000 for obaritable purposes.

We rejoice to learn from a report of a

strongly advocates sending missionaries to
Africa, from among the colored young men
of the South :
" But negro youth in tbe " Hampton " and
other institutions already stand

the South will prosper all the more for the crusade to Africa in the Fust. We cun spare one in
every ten of our graduates to cross the sea, and
strengthen the cause at home by it. If 1 had the
contract to educate every negro child in the
South, 1 would send ten per cent, of tho teachers
to a distant field of perilous self-denying work,

"Hope Full of Immortality."
This beautiful expression is found in the
wisdom of Solomon, one of the books of the
Apocrypha, supposed to have been written
about 100 years before Christ.
There are few references to immortality
in the Old Testament. The clearest is
found in Daniel, 12:2, " many of them that
sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
some to everlasting life, and some to shame
and everlasting contempt." Jacob in his
interview with Pharaoh, speaks of his life
as a pilgrimage ; Genesis, 47:9, and referring to this language the writer of Hebrews
affirms that "they who say such things
declare plainly that they seek a country,
even a heavenly, confessing themselves to
be strangers and sojourners on earth." The
expression is of quite frequent occurrence in
the Old Testament, "gathered to his people." It dimly shadows forth the idea of
immortality and it would seem that this
idea became clearer and this hope stronger,
at the generations passed from Malichi, the
last of the. Hebrew Prophets, to the writer
of the wisdom of Solomon, a period of
about 300 years. This is in accordance
with the idea of President Edwards, who,
in hia " history of redemption," shows that
from Adam down through the ages there
was a gradual increase of light on the
glorious theme of man's salvation.
The beloved disciple beautifully points
out the tendency ot" the hope that is full of
immortality. This hope passes lightly over
the things that perish with their using, and
grasps the eternal, the satisfying. Said the
Psalmist, " I shall be satisfied when I awake
with thy likeness." Pslnins, 17:15, so John
points to something, thnt the thought of
man has not reached. "It doth not yet
appear what we shall be; but we know
thnt, when we shall appear, we shall Is?
like him ; for we shall see him as he is.
And every one that hnth this hope in him
ptirifieth himself, even as he is pure." I
John, .'!:_ &' 3. When the Lord Jesus
tabernacled in the flesh, his disciples beheld
his glory, the glory as of the only begotten
of the father; but that was a veiled glory,
like the sun just appearing through the
clouds; yet it was enough to win their
strongest love and to raise their conceptions
in a wonderful manner. " Exalted to be a
Prince antl a Saviour," he baa resumed his
former state as " tli«> brightness of the
Father's glory," and it was to see him in
this unveiled glory, ami to be like him that
his disciples aspired. " Every one thnt
hath this hope purifieth himself, even as he
is pure." What he hopes for he will strive
to obtain. If his great hope is the holiness
of heaven, n likeness to the Lord Jesus, he
will ever be learning of him, who was meek
and lowly of henrt and growing into his
likeness. Without this hope, there will be
no increase in moral excellence and no

Liquor and Religion Liquor costs the
inhabitants of America at least §600,000,000
a year. The total contributions for church
and benevolent purposes dojnot exceed $50,-000,000 per annum. In 1872 there were
03,082 churches of all denominations, while
the number of places where intoxicating
drinks were sold was 248,992, nearly four
to every church. Going a little further in
the line of statistics we find that while 83,-637 ministers are laboring to make men
better, there. arc half a million of persons
engaged in making and selling intoxicating
drinks. There are not less than 16,000,000
daily visits paid to dram shops in the United
Stales, while there are not over 11,000,000
church members to visit the poor anil unhappy in their afflictions. There are at
least 60,000 drunkards' deaths every year,
one poor wretch falling into a drunkard's
grave every ten minutes from the beginning
of January lo the end of December of every
year.
"Home," says Dr. Channing, "is the
chief school of human virtue. Its responsibilities, joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes,
and solicitudes form the chief interests of
human life. Go where a man may, home is
the centre to which his heart turns. The
thought of his home nerves his arm nnd
lightens his toil. For that his heart yearns
when he is afar oIH There he garners up
his best treasures. God hns ordained for all
men alike the highest earthly happiness in
providing for all the sanctuary of home."
A clergyman, in a village in Massachusetts, found his hearers diminishing day by

all Christian believers. She has evidently
read and thought much.
1 hare attended recently two very interesting lectures, one on, Byron and the other
on Walter Scott. Last Thursday evening
I spent very pleasantly at Madame Merle
D'Aubigne'*. She is a most cordial and
warm-hearted woman, the second wife of
the historian. She is one of those persons
whom you love at first sight. Her pleasant
lace looks out at you most brightly from
under her soft widow's cap. She has four
children, two sons and two daughters. The
old home of D'Aubigne is down on the shore
of the lake, and there the family still live.
The great arm chair was drawn up by the
fire, and you felt as if he might soon come
in to take it. He died about five years ago,
his health continuing wonderfully good up
to the last. He retired one Sunday evening, which he had spent most pleasantly
with his family, and when in the morning
he seemed so late in rising, they went to
call him, he was beyond the reach of earthly
voices, for his eyes had opened on a better
waked in heaven." Madame told me nil about it in her
earnest way, of the dreadful shock to her
and yet of the joy she found in this peaceful
translation. Then she gave me many facts
about his life and writings, and many interesting things, but these at another time.
She assured me that I was always welcome
and that the library was always at my service. We had tea and cake passed around,
conversation on various topics, and closed
our pleasant evening together by singing
" Rock of Ages." By the way, Pasteur

ROUSSEAU AND GENEVA.
History shows us that some of the greatwhich the world loves to honor,
are connected with countries which, geographically, are of but limited extent. It
would seem almost as if there was- some
grand compensation in this; that while to
one nation was given armies and wealth and
great commerce and wide extent of territory,
another finds its share to be a few, royally
gifted sons whose thoughts are its choice
treasures. If this is true, Switzerland should
have a foremost place in the latter class.
Somewhere Voltaire says in his brilliant
satirical way, " when I shake my wig its
powder dusts all the Republic." Yet this
little commonwealth, nestling at the base of
its mighty mountains, has furnished thought
for Europe and the world. Geneva and

vicinity have been the centre where we find
its fullest manifestation and a score or more
of brilliant names meet you in looking into
the literary, scientific and religious history
of the place. Perhaps no name is more
prominent than that of that most eccentric,
incomprehensible, magnificently gifted man,
Jean Jacques Rousseau, who loved to style
himself " a citizen of Geneva." Among
the very first objects upon which the eye of
the stranger and traveler rests on arriving in
the city, is his statue upon a small island in
the Rhone/ He is represented in a sitting
posture, with one hand lifted, holding a pen
with which he will soon note the thought
which is now occupying his attention. The
figure is finely draped and the conception of
the whole statue is admirable. The fine
head and forehead are distinctly emphasized in the bronze, and the lines which give
to this thoughtful face so much expression,
the look of genius touched with a sad, wistful longing, tell that the artist was not unworthy of his subject. The statue is the
work of Pradier who has achieved great
success in his art and was also a citizen of
Geneva. The Isle Rousseau murks the
point where the Rhone issues from Lake
Leinan. A few trees group themselves about
the statue which stands in the centre of the
little island. Here the good people of Geneva
love to come in summer evenings, and thousands of visitors make this one of the places
to be noted in their tour. By day it is a
constant pleasure to watch ihe beautiful
white swans that come and go about it, in
the gloriously blue waters of the Rhone.
And at night when the thousand lamps of
Geneva gleam forth, you might almost fancy
the little isle turned a gondola from which
you view the fairy spectacle of Venetian
•
life.
There are many perhaps who would think
it a blessing to mankind if the name of
Rousseau was forgotten rather than perpetuated by statues and praise. Yet as time
goes on, more and more marked is seen to be
that genius which wrought such a revolution
in Europe. But in admiring its brilliant
productions, one is shocked by the moral
stain which rests upon them. A life of the
strangest experiences, of wild, extravagant
theories, dwarfed and crippled by n wretched
childhood, yet bursting forth into the most
superb poetry of expression, and capable of
noblest aspirations. In him you seem to
find a vision as of light and darkness, of
tenderest and bitterest sentiments, of worship
and blasphemy, an endless contradiction !
And whence came this strange being whom,
Sainte-Beure calls " the swallow, which an*
nounced a new spring for the French
language."
He was born in Geneva in 1712 in one of
the streets of the old town, which everybody
visits now. His father was a watch-maker
of no enviable reputation, and all Rousseau's
early life is a sad record of neglect and abuses.
He fled from Geneva, and in Turin was led
to embrace Catholicism. After this we find
him following all manner of professions, and
at last he comes to Paris where he gains
friends and assistance. A prize being offered
'by the academy of Dijou for the best essay
on a given theme, Rousseau was the successful competitor. This was the beginning of
his literary career. His magnificent style
electrified Europe. He inaugurated new
and beneficial reforms, while at the same
time he wrought incalculable harm. His
musical language can not veil often the impurity of the underlying thought. The
heights which he would attain in theory, are
lost sight of in practice. There is something most pitiful in the sight of this splendidly gifted soul, living in the false and
unreal world of its own creation. A very
king in intellect, and yet the chained slave
of ignoble fears, passing the years terrified
by imaginary dangers, at war with a hostile,
world, finding enemies in friends, joyless,
sombre, dying with the real beauty and
sweetness of life, unfelt and untasted. Geneva is proud of his genius, though Kousseuu's principles found cold welcome in this
city of the Reformation. What of purity
and simplicity there is in his writings can
be traced to the influence of his native city
and its religious atmosphere. And in the
grand mountains and beautiful lake which
chnrmed his early years he found his chief
inspiration, as the Apostle of the beautiful
in the outer world, a title which he most
justly deserves. So that it seems appropriate that through the years his mute statue
should sit facing the blue lake and snowy
Alps which he loved so well,
•
the hotel dc ville.
This is a very interesting place to visit,
situated in the heart of the old town and
reached by a perfect labyrinth of streets. If
the Cathedral may be regarded as sharing in
all the religious history of Geneva, the
Hotel dc Ville is equally represented in its
political annals. It is built in the Florentine
style, around a hollow square, having a very
singular passage way, extending from
the lower court to the stories abovo. This
is bo constructed that soldiers on horseback
and carriages could ascend without difficulty.
How imny times in the stormy history of
the town has it been crowded with excited
citizens, hurrying to consult and deliberate
on their rights ! Here the Council of State
now holds its session. Many documents of
the greatest importance are carefully preserved here, and papers which testify to the
grand struggle of a brave people for the
precious boon of civil liberty. Perhaps not
the least interesting room in this building is
the one where the Alabama Court of Arbitration held its conferences. It is handsomely furnished, and remains just as it was at
the time of that most historic gathering. It
brought very vividly to mind the pictures
which I remember to have seen of the court
in session. On a fair, white marble tablet is
a statement in reference to the result of the
arbitration, which is certainly one of the
most interesting events in modern times,
proving to the world that Christian nations
could settle their difficulties without recourse
to arms. Back of the moderator's chair is
an oil painting of Liberty, and at the other
end of the room, pictures of the Commissioners. Coming out of the interesting
shadows of the old Hotel dc Ville, you come
into scenes not less historic These European cities are crowded with memories and

abundant food for thought. Just in this
smooth stone-paved square which faces us,
over which the Hotel dc Ville and gray old
Arsenal seem to keep solemn watch and
ward, is the place where the " Emile and
Contract Sofcial" of Kousseau were publicly
burned, a little more than a century ago.
Here too, we are told, that Servetus, condemned by Calvin, was burned alive, that
one great stain on the reformer's illustrious
record. In that naitow street with its high
and crowded houses, Rousseau was born,
just beyond, at No. 11, Rue dcs Chanonies,
Calvin lived, and here too, it is said, he died.
Here he must have brooded over those grand
thoughts which are at the very foundation of
his mighty theology. It is not difficult to
picture him coming and going through this
shadowy street, this earnest Reformer, with
his pale, intense, sharply chiseled face, which
seems more like the incarnation of some
tremendous thought or idea, than that of a
human being; here must have gathered the
men to whom he intrusted the execution of
his commissions; from this centre radiated
that influence which held for many years
the city of Geneva under an imperial sway,
and which the religious world will recognize
through all time. At one of the museums
of the city is a picture by Horming, representing the last adieu of Farel to Calvin. It
is finely painted and intensely interesting.
They had been " yoke-fellows," had seen together the coming of the Gospel with power
in an age of darkness, and now were for a
time to be parted. Farel, with his grand
head, unbent by storms of persecution,
stands by the side of his dying friend.
Calvin's face, though wasted and of a ghastly paleness, is full of strange power, and in
these last moments his eyes seem to look
past the present into the future witha«vision
unhindered by the mists of earth. About
these two central figures are grouped many
Iriends and brothers. As you stand in the
quiet Kue dc Chanonies, with all these faces
fresh in mind, you seem almost to feel their
actual presence. May it not be that these
men who gave the ripeness of their thought
and the depth of their religious experiences
to the up-building of tnis city still overshadow it with their spiritual presence?
before the blazing fire, listening to the thrilling tales of the grand old days of Switzerland. All this is very nice, but Swiss
carvings have their practical side. The
choicest, issue from the work-shops of the
cities, coming from the midst of exceedingly
prosaic surroundings. But this does not, in
the least, detract from their real beauty, only
makes it greater by contrast in my estimation.
There is a warmth and tone in wood which
gives to it a life which marble never possesses, and this added to the wonderful shapes
into which it can be fashioned, renders it
worthy of a high place in the beautiful realm
of art. You are shown such tantalizingly
inviting things that you want to spend yuur
little all at the very first shop you enter.
There are all mjnner of dainty frames and
baskets and vases, wreathed in most delicate
flowers, so light and fragile that they seem
worthy of a place with the spring blossoms
which are now beginning to star the fields
and meadows. Then near by are ornamental
pieces, pictures in wood, groupings of tropical ferns and palm branches, clusters of
lilies with drooping leaves, birds on their
nests, reedy ferns, where quaint solemn
water-fowls make their homes; rocks, where
the light and graceful Chamois poises himself; game of all kinds, exquisitely finished.
Overcountless clocks the artists throw a
perfect wealth of carvings. There are such
fine groups of peasants with their innocent,
honest faces. Little children that seem jubilant to see the light after their long imprisonment. But it is useless to try to tell you
about them. Come and see them. If I
could but find some way of sending them to
you!

of our American Evangelist was to go to the
heart of the Chinese Empire. So wonderfully in these later days do the far ends of
the earth meet. The melodies were most
beautifully arranged, and seemed to catch a
new sweetness as they chimed out from the
knowing and magical little points so skillfully placed. In seeing step by step the
manner in which music boxes are made, I
must confess that I learned to admire them
as I had never done before. What had
always seemed a mystery has been proved
to tie exceedingly simple, but still worthy of
admiration. These skillful bits of mechanism have a way of making melody which
may be taken as a kind of lesson for those
who find their lot full of sharp and difficult
experiences. You will notice, that as the
cylinder moves slowly around, it is only the
fine needle-like points, scattered here and
there, meeting others equally so, which give
the music. All the smooth, clear spaces are
mute. Haven't we all seen those persons
who have made out of lives of trial, difficulty

The Greeks were not very far out of the
waf, I think, in peopling their woods and
groves with fair and beautiful forms or in
believing that hidden away in the heart of
the gnarled and unshapely tree-trunks dwelt
the souls of dryads and nymphs. For lately
the usually mute and solemn tree, from trunk
to branch and tiniest twig, have been full of
voices, and 1 have learned secrets of beauty
which I had not dreamed of before. I could
take you in a few moments to a store on the
grand quai, facing the lake, full of such rare
and graceful forms carved in wood, that
seeing them you wapld ever after cherish
and reverence this commonest of materials
for the possibilities of beauty which lie enshrined in it. One almost always associates
Swiss carvings with picturesque chalets far
up in lovely Alpine valleys and with peasants in* striking costumes, and it is very
pleasant to fancy that the little souvenirs you
take home with you are the fruits of long
winter evfiiings spent by the busy workers

MUSIC BOXES AND SANKEY's HYMNS.
The music boxes of Switzerland arc renowned the world over, and in Geneva there
are many manufactories. 1 saw and heard
a number lately which are devoted to an
interesting and unique purpose. Some are
arranged to play Mr. Sankey.s sweet and
popular sacred tunes. Quite to my surprise
I learned that they were to be forwarded to
China, an order having been recently received from a London house for a large number
of boxes, it was certainly pleasant to feel
that from the old city of Calvin, the music
and sorrow, sweet and touching poems?
There is certainly something wonderful in
the_ swift circuit of the world which Mr.
Sankey's hymns have'made. They are being
sung all over Europe. You hearthein in
Rome, almost within sight of the Vatican,
and here in Geneva they are sung at every
religious meeting. It would seem as if, in
sacred song, we find the truest catholicity of
sentiment. One of the delightful experiences
which I have enjoyed in the meeting with
different persons representing different sscts
and dcnominatiens has been to find trfht
down, deep under long established form and
ritual and sectarian usage, was a growing
longing for a more perfect unity, a desire to,
meet in love and sympathy about the cross
and sepulchre of a common Savior. And
this is one of the glad, bright signs in the
world to-day, the east is bright with the
coming light, and in God's own good time
there shall be but one church, not of human
rearing, but composed of all those who love
our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It
seems not very far off while I can hear as in
Geneva Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists,
members of the Russian Church, and some
from the Old Catholic party sing in perfect
harmony,

JUNCTION OF THE RHONE AND THE ARVE.
The other day I walked down to the junction of the Rhone and the Arve. The Arv
comes rushing and foaming from the glaciers
and the Rhone issues clear as crystal frot
lake Lcinarft The singular fact is that the
do not at first mingle, but for a long wa
down the new river, which has been formet
by their junction, you will see them flowin
side by side, contrasting most beautifully
There are no words which can paint th
crystaline quality of the waters ofthe Rhon
where the tiniest pebble is seen as it lies f
down under the clear blue river. It is dif
cult to tell where the lake ends and the li
of the river begins, for nt first it seems t
stand almost motionless ignorant of th
power which it has gained. Then gatherin
courage, each step growing bolder, it dashe
away in a perfect abandon of joy, crownin
its bright surface with grand wreaths o
foam and spray. But it soon finds that it
not forever to go on unhindered in this ne
glad life, for just a little way farther it
met by the dark, turbid, glacier-born Arve
and they start on in a joint march to the sea
But it is a very uncongenial league, for a
you stand at the point of junction lookin
iar down the new river you see it divided
into two strongly narked divisions; on one
side the Rhone, on the oiher the Arve, their
waters
persistently refusing to mingle. It
is it uiost interesting sight and any one of a
moralizing frame of mind, would find here a
fine figure to illustrate his conception of the
way in which the great forces of good and
evil, of light and darkness, of purity and impurity walk side by side together in this
world of ours, but distinct and clearly defined as the two silent rivers that so strongly
flow on in the same channel.

"The
Church of England
and the Church
Sof cotland."
This is the title of a small pamphlet just
received by ihe last Australian mail steamer
from Sydney. It contains an address of the
Rev. Robert Steel, D.D., of St. Stephen's
Cllurch, Sydney, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod, March SM, 1877. After reviewing the histnriral relationship of the
<wn churches, prior, during and since the
Keformation in the sixteenth century, Dr.
Steel makes tho following graceful allusion
to Bishops Selwyn ami Pntteson
Coining to these Southern sens, I cannot
pass over some instunce.s of fratemitv us
particularly pleasing as they were kind.
When the apostolic Bishop Selwyn was sailing amidst so many heathen iales in his
little yacht, he conveyed a Presbyterian
minister and his wife to the New Hebrides,
the scene of their mission labors, and took
stores to them from year to year. On ono
occasion when this missionary's wutch required repair, he left it at the harbor of the
island for Bishop Selwyn to take tn Auckland, but great was his surprise when he
found that the bishop had left his own instead till ho returned the succeeding year.
Nor was this all. Referring at Duncdin lo
what he had seen at this island of the New
Hebrides, he said that if any Presbyterians
were disposed to help the work he would be
glad lo take their contributions. Next
morning £30 were handed to him as he was
going on board. He ruado similar appeals
al Wellington and nt Auckland, and on Ins
arrival at the New Hebrides handed XlO5
to the Presbyterian missionary That surely
reconciled the Bishop ami tlie Covenanter.
Bishop Pntteson acted in a similar spirit,
often visited our missionary at Eromangn,
where he had to climb a precipitous, rocky
path to reach him, and when, after the melancholy tragedy by which Mr. and Mrs.
Gordon perished as martyrs, Bishop Pattcson was the first to arrive, ho went ashore
mid read the burial service of his incomparable Liturgy over their graves. The Bishop
was ever careful to abstain from setting up
missions on any islands occupied by Presbyterian missionaries. I am glad also to notice in u recent speech of Bishop Selwyn
the second, a worthy son of a noble sire, he
made a graceful reference to " the excellent
Presbyterian missionaries" in the New He-
:
brides, " on whose labors," ho added,
" we
«re careful not to trench "—a worthy example for us all to follow.
Such instances of fraternal, thoughtful and
friendly kindness are full of good cheer and
Christian sympathy. It is because of the
low standard of a genuine Christ-like spirit
that they are so rare and noteworthy. They
tire as refreshing as the gales referred to by

Christian fragrance from its " odoriferinus
wings," comes to us from America. A copy
of n sermon hy Bishop Huntington (our
fellow collegian) of central New York, upon
the " Two ways of treating the Indian Problem," contains a most appreciative reference
to the early Puritan missionaries of New
England "The Puritans of Leyden looking across tlfc ocean put on record their hope
that in the western wilderness they might
both keep their name nnd nation and lie n
means to enlarge the Church of Christ, if
the Lord had a people among the nations
whither he would bring them."
From another quarter there comes a counter blast. Report suys that the High Church

sbbXhmon to Ci.kiiks.—We were glad to
see the republication of Dr. Talmadge'a sermon in a supplement to the Advertiser. It
contains many most valuable hints lo both
clerks and their employers. A good merchant is thoughtful for his clerks, and his
duty is not fully discharged unless he looks
after their habits and practices out of his
store as well as while under his eye. The
rending of this sermon reminds us of an incident which came under our personal
knowledge more than thirty years ago in
Honolulu. A young man left a whaleship
and obtained a situation as clerk and bookkeeper in a certain mercantile establishment
in Honolulu. He had not been there long
before he was asked to perform an act which
his conscience did not approve. He came
to us for advice. We did not hesitate lo
advise him to resign rather than do what his
conscience did not approve, all hough il
might deprive him of a good situation. He
left, but soon found employment in a more
lucrative position under government, and
when he died was one of the Judges of the
Supreme Court of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
The freedom and fulness of the gospel is
variously set forth by the sacred writers and
our Saviour himself.
In reading a volume
of sermons by the Key. Dr. Kohinson of
Louisville, Kt., on Kedomption, we have
met the following passage, wherein this
Perils ok the Ska.—The ship Elizabeth
point is most clearly and forcibly put. It is Goin/i/ sailed from San Francisco on Aug-
from a sermon, the text—Acts, lfi:ill, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou
shall be saved."
•• Thus you are told to Flee from the
vtritth to come,' to the strongholds,' as one
having the energy to hasten swiftly, vigorously. But if you pleatl 'I buve no energy
of faith to flee,' then tho gospel saith come
to Jesus,' even though you must creep us
the poor lame man, or grope your way as
the poor blind man, and that shall be taken
as tu.itls. If still you plead 'I am utterly
impotent, unable to move, so as to come in
any way,' then, saith tho gospel, ' stretch
forth tliiin- hand and 'receive' the Lord
Jesus for he is nigh thee; and that shall answer as failh. Nay, if you still plead,
I cannot stretch out a hand, for the very
arm hangs powerless as that of the poor
man in the gospel,' then saith the gospel
1Lotik to Jesus,' for ' he that Inoketh upon
him lifted up shall live.' Nay more yet,—
If still you plead. ' I cannot look, for alas
the hazy film of spiritual death is over my
eyes, nnd all is darkness,' then suith the gospel, ' Poor sinner, if nothing else, lie still
just as you are, and 'submit tn the righteousness of God,' allowing Jesus to throw
the robe of his righteousness over thee, and
that shall answer, for ' wiiosokvkh will'
may take him for a Saviour.' "
We have found much to admire in (his
volume of sermons by our old college classmate. There is a tone and character, logic
and force, richness and suggestiveness to remind the reader of the divines of the seventeenth century. It is refreshing to know in
these days of popular, sensational, pulpit
oratory, that there arc some preachers who
follow in the old paths.

landed on the island and found shelter in a
cave. Several attempts were made to obtain stores from the wreck, but nil failed.
In exploring the islund the men found an
cticnnkptnenl, which had probably been occupied hy some shipwrecked crew. A number
of empty cans, tins, bottles ami a flour burrel were near it The barrel was rehooped
and repaired to hold water. A tin of soup
and bouilli was also found, and some good
cocoanuts were obtained from the trees. Sea
fowl were plentiful, nnd many were killed.
Several heavy showers enabled them to replenish their water. Two human skulls
were found in a cave, but not the bodies or
bones belonging to them. On the 12th of
October, the captain, his daughter and six
men left in the boat for Pitcairn's Island,
leaving five men behind. On the 18th ihe
boat was seen by the ship City of Vienna,
bound from San Francisco for Liverpool,
and her crew were taken on board. The
ship proceeded to Elizabeth Island and rescued the men left there. Considering the
circumstances attending the wreck, it is
wonderful all bands were saved. On the

THE Vltli: IV
DEATH AND BURIAL OF THE
PRINCE.
It is our most painful duty to chronicle
the death of His Royal Highness Prince
William Pitt Leleiohoko, whose decease
occurred on Tuesday morning, April 10th.
Tbe remains of this noble Prince were deposited in the Hoyal Mausoleum 09 the
25th, beside those of his father and mother
and those of the Kamehamehas. We clip
the following from the /'. C. Advertiser of
April 21st and 28th
:
His Royal Highness was tho son of the high
Chiefs C. Kapankca and A. Keoholcalole (the
parents of the present Royal Family) and wits
born od tho 10th of January, 1805, on the day
of the funeral of King Kniiiuhitiuelni 111, Iroui
which circumstance he derived one ol his nitiues
—Kalahoolewa. lo inlancy ho wns adopted,
afler tho custom of the Chiefs, by Her Highness
Kutli Reclikolitui, sister til King Kamehameha
V., who has ever regarded bim its licr own
child, and whose grief for his loss is poignant.
He was educated at St. Milan's College on this
island, where bo proved himself an apt scholar.
After leaving school ho for some time fulfilled
with seal and ability the duties of a clerk in
the department of Foreign A flairs, and on the
accession of His Mnjosty was appointed nnd
proclaimed Heir Appurcnt to the Throne.
On the King's departure for the United States,
in November, 1874, lie was appointed Prince
Regent, the duties ol which responsible oilier
ho discharged with distinguished ability until
His Majesty's return on tho 1 ."it.li of Fehruary,
1875. Tho late Prince had reoeivod the decorations ol Knight Grand Cross of the Royal
Orders of Kamebanieha aud Kalakaua; ho was
a member of the Privy Council of State and ol
tbe House of Nobles, Captain of the Leloiohoku
Cavalry; and Foreman of Engine Company No 4
ol the Honolulu Fire Department. In the
Order of Free Mnsons ho was a prominent and
advanced member, and held olEces of importance.
But it Was among those who had occasion to
know him intimately that the good qualities of
the late Prince were understood and valued, for
he was of a quiot, retiring and unassuming
disposition that courted not observation. Wilh
fine natural talents, he was an excellent English
scholar, of studious habits, well read in current
literature as well as in tbe science of government,
methodical and careful in business matters, and
in social life a polished gentleman. Well may
it be said that in bis early death tbe Hawaiian
nation has suffered a grievous low. But in tho
language of Byrou,
the gods love die young" was said of yore,
"AndWhom
many deaths do they escape by this:
The death or friends,aod lhat which slays even more,
Thedeath ol friendship, love, youth, all thai la,
Kxoepi mere breathi and since Ihe silent shore
A waits at Last even thoee who longest miss
The old archer'B Bfaafte, perbepe tbe early grave
Wbleti men weep over may be meant to save."
The remains of the late Prince lay in state
at the Palace during Tuesday forenoon and the
solemn pageantry of death was viewed by a large
concourse of residents of all ages and classes'.

emblems of Hawaiian chieftainship—its blazing
torches of the kukut, an old Ibudal privilege ol
the reigning family, mid above all the heartrending wail of Hawaiian women—so like the
wild keean of the female mourners ovor the dead
chieftains of the old Celtic nice—constituted in
its lout ensemble a lugubrious spectacle of death,
peculiarly national and only to hu witnessed
amongst the people of Hawaiian race.
1 he day was an exceptionally lino one, even lor
this climate. Tor the trade winds blow moderately, and an occasional pausing cloud tempered
tbe rays of the tropic sun. Tho streets had boon
sprinkled during the morning, so that there was
no discomtort Irom the dust which would otherwise have been caused by the movement of the
procession.
Contrary to tho general expectation as well as
to the ordinary rule on such occasions, the
arrangements were so trcrlectod by those who had
the details in charge that lire procession began
to move as per programme, "punctually at 11
o'clock, a. at." His Excellency Govornor Moehonua was Marshal ol the day, with Majors
George W. Maofarlane and James 11. Boyd
a* assistants.
Tbe grace, dignity and selfpossession of the Governor were noted, for be
sat his horse and wore his uniform liko one " to

In the Palace, previous to sotting out, nnd at

the service of the Church of England was read
and Psalms chanted by Bishop Willis and his
clergy and a well-trained hand of native Hawaiian choristers. Alter the clergy had retired, the
Free Masons, lod hy the VV. M. of Hawaiian
Lodge No. 21, performed the impressive funeral
service of the Order around the coffin of their
departed brother; and last of all, was said the
touching " Roquioscat in Pace," and Farewell

of the Ancient and Accepted Scottish Rite, in
which the deceased Prince was an office bearer.
Three vollies by the military concluded tbe ceremonies.
The coffin of the late Prince lies near the right

Edited toy a Committee of the Y. M. C. A.
Annual Report of
the Y.M.C.A.
During the past year there have lieen held
twelve meetings—ten regular, one special,
iiml one annual.
Owing to inclemency of the weather, no
meeting was held in November, 1876, and
the special one was called June 2d, to discuss the subject of procuring a more desirable and attractive place for the meetings of
the Association. The result of the discussion was that the Lyceum was procured, the
first meeting having been held there .Tune
16th, 1876.
The following is the attendance of members during the past year: May 19, 1876,
5; June 2, 18; June 16,11; July 2?, 11;
Aug. 25, 10; Sept. 15. 10; Oct. 17, 4; Dec.
15, 9; Jan. 25, 1877, 7; Feb. 15, 13; March
16, 9; April 20, 12,—making a total attendance of one hundred and nineteen for the
twelve meetings, or an average of nine and
one-twelfth per meeting.
The highest number of attendance of any
one person is nine. There are 3 who have
attended 9 times; 1 who has attended 7
times; 5 who have attended 6 times; 3 who
have attended 5 times; 2 who have attended
4 times; 7 who have attended 3 times; 4
who have attended 2 times; 3 who have attended 1 time; and 13 who have never
nttended.—Among the 13 non-attendanta,
there are 3 who have not lived in Honolulu
during the past year, leaving 10, or about
one-quarter of the membership list who
might have attended more or less, as far as
presence in Honolulu is concerned. So that
3 out of 4 of the members in Honolulu have
attended from 1 to 9 meetings during the
year. Although this record might be improved, we can take encouragement from
the fact that for the past two years adjournment, on account of no quorum, has taken
place several times; and when there were
meetings, often times it was with just ihe
requisite number, while as our average attendance has been nine and eleven-twelfths,
we have averaged about two quorums to the
meeting,—the number of our quorum, as
per Constitution, being 5.
As to the work of the Association, we can
say that our Colporteur, Mr. Sit Moon, has
worked earnestly and faithfully on these
islands in behalf of the Chinese, has done
much good, and is very popular among the
Chinese wherever he goes.
The Chinese Sunday School is also doing
well, having increased considerably during
the past year under the able management of
its Superintendent, Mr. J. B. Atherton, who
also speaks well of the labors of Mr. Sit
Moon as a teacher.
There is one drawback, however, of long
standing, and that is, the want of more and
regular teachers, and any one who has an
interest in the Chinese can show it by presenting themselves in the Vestry Room of
Fort Street Church every Sunday afternoon,
between the hours of half-past three and
half-past four, where the Superintendent
will give them something to do in the way
of teaching.
The Annual Meeting, for 1876 and 1877,
was held at the Lyceum April 20th, when
the election of officers took place for the
coming year, resulting as follows :

Our Colporteur.—Mr.infGormksi
that he has received a letter from Mr.
Sit Moon, dated at Hilo. He landed three
weeks ago at Kohala, where he was well received by Key. Mr. Bond and his Chinese
friends. He addressed an audience of about
one hundred, and labored among them during the week. Proceeding to Waimea he
met thirty of his countrymen, and then proceeded towards Hilo over the mountains.
In Hamakua he was most kindly entertained
by the native minister. After visiting Ins
countrymen on the plantations in the Hilo
district, he safely reached Hilo, where he
will remain for a few days before returning

Like flakes of snow, that fall unperceived
upon the earth, the seemingly unimportant
events of life succeed one another. As the
snow gathers together, so are our habits
formed. No single flake that is added to
the pile produces a sensible change. No
single action creates, however it may exhibit,
a man*s character; but as the tempest hurls
the avalanche down the mountain, and overwhelms the inhabitant and his habitation, so
passion, acting upon the elements, of mischief which pernicious habits have brought
together by imperceptible accumulation, may
overthrow the edifice of truth and virtue.
He that does as well in private between
God and his own soul, as in public, hatli

some cases the weeks become months, until

and cold with the br-ath of glaciers, and
when rare and graceful ferns grew into*
beauty, which still lingers, phantom-like, in
the delicate traceries of the frost. May it
not be that the fragrance of the Lotus is
still to be found in these winter-fastnesses,
and that by the shores of Lake Leman men,

flower and fruit from " the enchanted stem,"
and in eating forget that other and distant
lands and scenes are calling to them ?
Whatever the charm may be, it is fast beginning to act upon me, and the longer I
stay, the stronger it grows.
I think much of this charm lies in the
choice society one meets here. In the cultured and religious and scientific upper
circles " of Geneva, there is much earnest
and thoughtful life. You would be surprised
to see how wide a range of reading many
ladies have here. In some of the old houses

a pride of family and brains ss strong, I
suppose, as in any part of the world. A

THE FRIEND, JUKE,
memories which surround Geneva, and give
to it a charm such as, perhaps, no other city
in the wide world possesses. All those who
love to look into the history of grand and
momentous achievements, who would see
the putting forth of the germs of political
and religious freedom, and who would trace
their upward and onward growth, who would
draw inspiration and enthusiasm from the
mission of courageous and heroic souls,
should come to this grand old citadel of liberty and reformation, and from its own lips
hear its noble history. I find myjielf straying into odd, wandering streets, narrow and
dark, to some perhaps, and yet to others

more and more vivid »s oqe hears the story
which they are so willing to tell to him.
Then there is the Geneva of to-day, bright,
sparkling, beautiful, even in winter, and
wonderfully so in summer. Here too, is the
fairest lake in all the world, where glorious
mountains love to mirror themselves. Its
shores are musical with famous names and
incidents, and for all who come it has some
special mestage. Is there any need to
wonder after after all why every one longs
once to see Geneva, and, seeing it once to
come again ?
have been interested lately in glancing
some pages in a French book on Lav
line, where the efforts of the great Vinet
ire so strongly felt, while scientific thought
during this century, flowered and bore fruit
in Geneva, it is in Lausaune, farther up the
Jake, that we find the deep, fervid religious
movement of some of the most earnest and
gifted men of their time. How one revels
in all these thought-associations which girdle the lake.
XI
BYRON
AND THE VILLA DIODATI.
Just out of Geneva, on the crest of the
hill over-looking the lake, and nestling
among the vineyards, is the Villa Diodati,
the home of Byron in 1816. The name of
Milton is also associated with this picturesque spot, but it is resorted to especially as
a sort of literary Mecca by the admirers of
the more modern and erratic bard. Starting
from the English Gardens we rambled
slowly along the shore of the lake. A fine
paved walk stretches off most invitingly
before us in the warmth and beauty of this
Saturday afternoon in the early spring. Of
course the lake goes with us. One never
thinks of going anywhere without the companionship of these friendly waters. You
may lose the Alps, and be deserted for days
by Mount Blanc, but Leman will still
remain, each morning and evening bringing
some new message, till its fair surface grows
strangely familiar, and every ripple is a
voice for those who listen. No one ever
learned its secret and told it to the world
with such perfect truth and grace as did
Byron, whose home we are now seeking.
Many pleasant homes lie along our way.
Here live some of the choicest of the old
Genevese families. Noble trees, with their
stately and towering branches, seem to watch
with a tender guardianship over the quiet
chateaux which stand in their midst. We

one ot the DiodJti family, tells us that the
villa can not be far away. But here come
our guides, the whole village school. How
gladly these laughing boys and girls rush
from the old school-room, down through the
narrow and shadowy alley-way into the
beauty of the sunshine, of which they seem
a part! Our little company advances in a
sort of triumphiil procession, no one can bar
the way when we are so gallantly attended.
So we go on, and our little Swiss girl guide
brings us to the villa-lodge, so buried under
the ivy that we might have passed it altogether but for the two tiny windows which
looked out at us like friendly eyes from the
midst of this wealth of verdure. The family were in the city for the winter, but
would we see the little villa for Byron's
sake, just the same ? Most gladly, and
with the sound of keys and opening of
many doors, we are ushered into the presence
of old portraits ot the Diodati family and of
Byronic memories. Who couldn't have been
a poet here ? we all said in a breath. Such
mountains, such a lake, such skies ! The
afternoon is fast hastening toward the sunset. The long line of the Jura, with its
spotless draperies of snow, outlines itself on
a soft and warmly tinted sky; the lake, with
its blue waters, hushed to perfect calm, lies
at the foot of the vine-clad slopes before us;
its furthest shores lost in a veil of haze, a
boat, with snowy sails, rests like a white
winged bird on the mirror-like surface, sporting with its image in thecrystal depths. Is
it any wonder that Byron sought, amid this
beauty, some balm for those wild and turbid
thoughts and fancies which so fiercely ruled
him ? But we have almost forgotten the
object of our quest, the villa itself. The
Diodati family was of Italian origin, and
numbered, in different generations, many
distinguished names. But they are all
eclipsed by that of the young poet whose
room still remains as when he wrote Manfred," and the third canto of " Childe
Harold here. In the corner stands the old
fashioned writing desk, where imaginative
relic-hunters search in vain for some .souvenir. But it is locked to all intrusive
thoughts and fingers, and if it guards any
secrets of poetic inspiration, it guards them
well. But the inspiration must be found
rather in that glorious world without on
which Byron looked with such penetrating
glance. There is a little balcony, tangled
with vines upon which his chamber opened
and we have enjoyed the fancy that here he
stood and listened to that still music of the
night and stars which he has so exquisitely
echoed for us in these verses from Childe

We came home laden with ivy, which
was all we could bring in our hands, but
with memories for life of that lair and sunny
afternoon amid such beauty ns the greatest
of our poets can not put fully in words, only
hint at in the most splendid verse. The sun
had sunk behind the Jura, and the shadows
begun to fall about the homes of the city as
we entered Geneva.
SPRING DAYS.
Our spring began in February, and while
from Italy even, came complaints of cold and
chilly days, we were sunning ourselves in
genial warmth. First the primroses came,
hardly daring to lift up their little heads,
and now they are making bright every field
and every " river brink." While the snow
lay about on every hand, they opened their
buds and every one knew that though March
might bring wind and storm, that after all
winter was really gone. Along the path
where I take my daily walk, I find that Hie
hawthorne hedge is each new morning budding into life ; delicate leaves here and there
almost unfolded, but in a timid, half-frightened way. In all the 'hedges there is a
growing chorus of bird-voices. At first I
only knew they had come back to us by a
startled and swift " whirr " of little wings as
1 passed that way, but now there is a twittering which sometimes swells to full, clear
notes, and for the last few mornings I have
heard them singing with all the force of their
glad little hearts and throats. Summer
must be a glad time for the trees in Switzerland. They have such a barbarous way
here of lopping off the branches and boughs
and twigs, till long avenues look like poor
scarred veterans. All winter long the willows hold up their maimed bodies to heuven
in silent protest. Every inch of superfluous)
growth is utilized in this land of thrift and
economy, and the neat baskets for the markets and the faggots for the winter fire, are
of more value than symmetry snd beauty in
the trees by the road side. There is something pathetically heroic in the way some of
them have borne, for generations, this mutilation, putting forth a vigorous gtowth of
shoots, only to lose them again, never flinching, but always ready when sought again.
They are the most ridiculous looking things
in the world, all gnarled and twisted, covered with hard, ugly looking scars, mere
stumps. But their beauty is coming to them
daily. How eager all the -world of trees
seems to put on its summer dress ! There
are the horse-chestnuts that stretch in long
vistas like cathedral aisles, which will, before
long, be lost in verdure. Their quaint buds
are worth careful study. No mother could
more tenderly shield ber little one from the
winter cold thandoes thatgummed and folded
sheath, and the soft, warm cottony bands
protect the tiny germ of life within. I shall
miss, amid the summer-green, the tall poplars that have shot up like arrows toward
the sky, and have claimed no ornament, but
the mistletoe which has found a home in
this upper world? The old mossy apple and
pear trees, which have stood bare and awkward, in little stiff rows through all ihe long
.
�winter, are yearning for thejr white, rosy
draperies. And the grand old oaks, (whose
splendid forms have been revealed, not concealed, by the long wreaths of ivy which
have made you forget, however, the absence
of leaves,) will join this glad summer company rulers of them all. The suows still
lie low on the Alps, but the fields are full of
busy workmen, and long furrows lie open to
the kindly touch of the sunlight. Daily new
faces are to be seen upon the streets, heralds
of that company which makes Geneva one
of the gayest cities in all Europe—in July
and August.
in the market.
On Wednesday and Saturday mornings
one of the principal streets in the city is
fairly alive with buyers and sellers, and furnishes a most characteristic and interesting
spectacle. Each side of the long winding
street is lined with tiny booths, where the
sellers shout the praises of their respective
goods in the most eloquent French. The
market women, with white caps or straw
hats, which seem the relics of past generations, are busy with their knitting—and knit
and talk and sell all at once. Great baskets
of fruits and vegetables; stands of meats
and game, of butter and cheese, for which
Switzerland is so celebrated, are to be seen
in every direction. And of late the flowers
have added a new and beautiful feature to
the show. You can find everything, from
the little bunches of primroses and violets
which the girls have gathered in the fields,
still fresh and dewy, to the rarest of roses
and camelios. To the market come all the
house-keepers of Geneva, and it is the most
democratic place in the city, every one is
brimful of eager talk, and all up and down
the street passes and repasses this animated
procession, which seems more like a crowd
on a fete day than a company of people
busy about the most practical employment
of the day. Few subjects of public or private interest but are here discussed, and he
who would know the hearts of the people
should oficn find his way to the market
place.
watch-making.
Geneva is famous all the world over for
its watches, and ihe majority of people who
have never stopped to think or read about
its mountains and lake are fully acquainted
with the advantages of a watch from this
city, it is said that time-pieces were manufactured here as early as the sixteenth century, and from that time to this it bas been
one of the leading trades of Geneva. To a
stranger on entering the city, the box-like
roofs of glass on many of the houses are
very singular and striking Here the busy
workmen sit and work at their delicate
trade, for which they require the most perfect light. Here you will see men whose
fathers and grandfathers before them devoted their lives to the same business and
passed it on as a kind of heritage to them.
Whole families somefimes occupy themselves in the work and they feel the greatest
pride in doing their work in the most perfect and complete manner possible. In this
democratic republic many of the best citizens have been identified with the occupation and sometimes they have risen to

which has a world-wide fame and a diploma from which was so highly prized. Its
branches of study are worthy of notice, as
they embrace mathematics, designing, painting, engraving, polishing and setting of
precious stones, enamelling, and chemistry.
The trained manufacturer must know the
general principles of each. It has resulted
Irom this vigorous and exact discipline that
the workmanship has been of the highest
kind. There are annually manufactured
here about one hundred and fifty thousand
watches. But of late years the splendid
success of the large American manufactories has been a great blow to the industry
here.
I visited lately the famous establishment
of Messrs. Patek, Phillipe & Co., where I
had an opportunity of seeing on how extensive a scale the manufacture is conducted
by a single house. You go up flight after
flight until you are almost dizzy with the
windings. On each floor is seen some new
and interesting development in the growth
of this knowing little article. Few persons
realize how much labor is expended on a
watch before it is ready for sale. There are
fourteen different processes in hinging, orna-
menting and burnishing the case, etc. Then
come forty-seven more for the skilled work.
Then the dial demands ten, and the diamond setting five more. One feels a sort of
reverence for his watch every time he
glances at it and realizes that it has undergone the deft and patient touch of 76 distinct
artists and artisans. Then you are shown how
watches are heated and frozen to insure them
against oil changes of temperature. And whole
trays of glittering watches are spread out before you in such profusion that you are almost
confused at the sight. There are round,
awkward silver watches, so uncomfortably
big and bulky and looking as much out of
place amid the glitter and sheen of gold
and diamonds as that great, bronzed peasant who is passing would in a French
drawing room, and the other extreme is a
tiny watch with enamelled case, thut you
could hide under your finger. This belongs
to a Russian Princess and is valued at five
thousand francs. Then follow rich but
simple cases in gold ; and then more pretentious ones crusted with diamonds and
pearls, with elaborate crests and monograms.
There are quaint and tiny watches hidden
away under the form of a helmet, or hanging in a pendant ball to a chain and watches
in rings, or others that chime the hours
most musically or are marvels of skillful
and inventive ability, the dial being a perfect maze of little, darting hands and wise
figures. You are shown too great booi-*
with the history of the making of each
watch, and the persons to whom they have
been sold. How interesting it would be if
we could follow over the wide world the
thousands and thousands of watches that

years his chateau. It is a most charming
drive or walk from the town, just within
the French Frontier. The snowy-line of
the Jura faces you as you go, and the grand
plain which lies at their base stretches out
to right and left dotted with little villages
and country seats. I can remember that as a
child I felt that there must be some peculiarity to mark the passage from one cduntry

Protestant and Catholic, lie very peaceably
side by side and the "diligence" carries you
trom one to #the other in the most matter of
fact of manner. Voltaire first lived nearer
Geneva at the "Delices," where he opened
his theatre and undertook to efface if possible the institutions established by Calvin
and to place in their stead a brilliant worldliness. In 1759 he removed lo Fernex
which was then a collection of a few
houses, but owing to the vast extent of his
influence and his almost imperial sway it
rapidly grew to be a village of considerable
size. A noble avenue leads up from the
high road to the chateau which stands a
little back. There is nothing at all striking
about the building itself, but in the palmy
days of its sceptical owner it was the most
famous point in Europe, casting Palaces of
Kings and Emperors in the shade. There
is something marvelous in the way in which
be ruled, courted and flattered by the renowned and titled, feeding his prodigious
vanity on the fulsome praise of these embasies which gathered at his court, and dazzled
the eyes of the simple villages by their
brilliant equipages. From this point be
darted his satiric shafts at the austerities of
Geneva, and strove to lead the youth of the
quiet city at his bidding. His bed room and
sitting room still remain as he left them,
and the visitor is still shown the mausoleum
which the Marchioness dc Villette intended
lo contain his heart. The garden with its
splendid view of Mont Blanc is interesting
and here you see the arbour where the
tragedy of '• Irene" was composed. Voltaire built a chapel, placing over the entrance

THE FRIEND, JUNE,
words. " Sa Majette regarderait commc
dcs succes les plus heureux dc I'expedition qu'elle put etre terminec sans qu'il en
rut coute la vie a un seul linminc." His
Majesty will look upon it, as one of the
happiest issuei of the expedition, that it
may be accomplished,"without costing the
life of one man.
How sadly affecting and interesting are
un
these words, when we recall to mind that
every man of the expedition perished,—not
one returning to tell a word of its fate,
and that the good and*patriotic. King who
planned it for the welfare of his people, was
harried by a mob in his palace, caßt along
with his Queen and children into a dungeon,
—stripped and spat upon,—nnd then underwent for himself and family the direst
crucifixion of soul and body at the hands of
the infuriate savagery of his own city of
I'uris about the time that his gallant navigator La Perouse, and his companions were
devoured by the savnges of Vunikoro.
But this noble Frenchman is to be remembered for what he did, rather than ou
account of his sad fate. He was of the race
of protestant Albigenses, who at one time
waged a bitter war with the partisans of the
Pope. He was an accomplished and courteous gentleman,—marked with favor at the
court of the illustrious and unfortunate
Marie Antoinette; and bore an unstained
character like a pure and upright Huguenot
noble. His valor was conspicuous under
Admiral Conflnns, and when this commander was defeated bp the English in 1759, La
Perouse, then a youth of 18 years of age,
was wounded and taken a prisoner. Hut
after gaining his liberty he commands an
expedition to destroy the factories and other
establishments of the English in Hudson's
Bay; and afterwards, from 1778 to 1780, we
find him in command of a linf-of-battleship,
cruising against the English in the West
Indies, and along the coasts of Maryland,
—
Virginia and the Carolinas.
And now having won the favor of his
Sovereign and of the distinguished men of
his country, La Perouse is placed in com",
mand of two first-class frigatps, L'Astrolabe
and La Boussole,—well provided Bnd appointed for a scientific expedition, that was a
hope for the peace and the glory of his nation. The prayers of distracted patriots
went with the noble seaman.
And he, ac-
companied with many blessings and with
royal gifts from the fair hands of Queen
Marie Antoinette, set sail from Brest on the
Ist of August, 1786, on a voyage of discovery and to divert unruly France.
The French navigator made many observations of value along the western coast of
America, to the 60° north latitude. He
visited, in 1783, the Hawaiian Islands, and
anchored his two frigates off" a point on the
coast of the island of Maui, now known as
Makena. He then observed a numerous
and a hospitable race on this croup. The
recent tragic fate of Captain Cook had left
no sinister impressions, and as La Perouse
was earnest in carrying out the humane
instructions of hi* sovereign in his dealing
with the natives, he passed through this
Archipelago without any loss or unpleasant
encounter.
There is a tradition among the natives of
Lanai, which would lead to the supposition
187 7.
that one of the frigates of La Perouse may
have visited that island. A venerable native of Lanui, whom 1 knew well was named
Hopuparani, or Caught-the-Frenchiaan. At
ihe time of tiis death, which occurred about
six years ago, he was evidently past 80
years of uge, as stated by himself and
friends, and it appeared likely that he might
have been a baby in 1786. Now the tradition is that at the time of his birth, a man
of war said to be from Purani, or France
appeared off the island near Mancle bay,
and sent a boat ashore. Un this occasion
one of the foreign seamen absconded and
secreted himself in the interior of the
island. A reward was offered for the man's
capture by the officer in command of the
boat. A konohiki or sub-chief restored the
runaway to his vessel, and as the arrest
occurred on the day that the native man's
wife gave birth to a son, the baby was
named " Hopuparani" or Caught-the-
Frenchman.
La Perouse made many important
observations and some new discoveries in
the North Pacific, of which he sent home
full and valuable particulars by every opportunity. At the Ministry of the murine in
Paris, there is a large docket ot his despatches and charts. His last dispatch,—
the last received in France, was sent from
Botany bay, and dated February 7, 1788.
After this a long dead silence. The anxious
King and Queen of Versailles looked many
a day ior a message from their lost navigator. Even the turbulent people of France
looked and hoped for the return of the brave
mariner and his comrades, even as we
English speaking people looked and longed
awhile ago for the recovery and-return of
Livingstone. And furthermore the constituent Assembly of France, which was cynically and ruthlessly trampling under loot
the authority, and all the personal privileges of the royal patrons of La Perouse,
and was preparing the way for the agrarian
horrors of 1793, yet shared
so
much the
public anxiety in behalf of the long absent
navigator,—that it voted funds for.the publication of his despatches, and for the fitting
out of another expedition to go in quest of
him ; and fanhermorc passed resolutions in
the form of an appeal to all civilized stales
to aid in succoring La Perouse, who had
been sent out on a mission of peace and in
behalf of humanity.
The expedition sent in quest, ended disastrously. Two frigates, numed " L'Esperance" and " La Recherche " cruised in vain
in 1791 to get some tidings of the lost La
Perouse. Both Commanders of these two
ships—Bruni d'Entrecastenux, and his lieutenant commander died at sea, near where
La Perouse perished,—and both ships were
captured by the Dutch of Batavia.
The reign of terror came for France.
The royal sufferers looked to the last for
some word from La Perouse. But no word
came, and Kings and Emperors had passed
away, till in 1827, when Charles X, brother
of Louis XVI, was King, there came news
of the fate of La Perouse. The discovery
was made by Capt. Dillon an English trader
cruising among the groups of islands to the
eastward of Australia. He found a sword
hilt in the hands of a native at Tucopia or
Tikopia, an* island lying between the
Solomon and New.Hebrides Archipelagoes,
nnd was told that more such articles could
be found nmong islands lying farther north.
As he was bound for India, he reported on
arrival the interesting relic to the Governor
of Bengal. The evidences of a monogram
and crest satisfied both Governor and Captain that this sword hilt had belonged to La
Perouse. The intelligent and enlightened
Governor remembering the appeal of the
Assembly of France, and the long anxiety
of her people, nt once fitted out a vessel at
his own expense, which he named the
"HeResearch," and placed Dillon in command.
returned to the points indicated, and
whilst examining the coral reefs that line
the shores of Vanikoro, one of the islands of
the group named Santa Cruz, he observed
in the translucent waters as he boated along
numerous articles of iron and brass, rings,
bars, bolts, cannon, and a bell with the name
of the foundry at Brest plainly legible.
Here were unmistakeiibly the relics of the
wreck of "L'Astrolnbe"and "La Boussole."
A few particulars were reluctantly obtained
from (earful old savages of tho island.
They said that both ships had struck at
once. That the chief of the whites stayed
with his people some time on the island,
and after many had died, a portion of the
strangers sailed away in a boat of their own
construction. But the opinion of Captain
Dillon was that La Prouse and his men had
been destroyed by the savages. There was
no trace ol any foreign work or residence
on shore. It was evident that the ships
must have speedily gone to pieces on a far
outlaying reef, and that the shipwrecked
people, could rmt have passed through a
long line of dangerous surf ami reached the
shore with any means of subsistence or
defence in their hands. And as these savages of Vanikoro had been in the habit of
destroying castaways, it is not likely that
they would spare the brave navigator who
was at one time the hope of France, any
more than any other sailor.
The observations of Capt. Dillon were
fully confirmed shortly afterwards by Capt.
Dumont d'Urville, who in another Frenchsliip of war named " L'Astrolabe," visited
Vanikoro in 1828. He erected a stone
obelisk near the scene of the wreck, anil
placed on it this inscription, inscribed on a
metal tablet:
"A la memoire
dc La Perouse
et dc ses compngnons.
•
—
L'Astrolabe
14 Mars, 1828."
The relics of the lost frigates were transported to France. They were arranged in
the form of an obelisk, with the bronze bell
of La Perouse's ship on top, and placed at
the entrance of the Marine Museum of the
Louvre, in Pans. There I saw them in
1854, but the communists and the petroleuses disturbed them during the latest furies of
a mob, whose fathers martyrized the good
King Louis, and who perhaps would not
have spared,—had he returned home
alive when looked for,—the aristocratic,
though famous navigator, Count Galium dc
la Perouse.

Is Faith Inherited?
BY WM. R. TF.RRF.TT.
Infidels are very fond of saying scornfully that Christians inherit their faith from
their ancestors, just as they receive their
properties and their names. The inference
Irom such statements evidently is that the
fact .that Christians receive in childhood
from the instruction and example of their
parents and teachers predispositions in favor
of certain doctrines, —that this fact ts in
itself a reason why they should suspect the
truth of these doctrines. As sneers are
usually more powerful than arguments, 1
am not surprised to find that this assumption has influence enough to disturb the
convictions of many minds. Yet a moment's serious thought will show how
groundless is the sceptic's scoff. The believers in nil religions alike accept the doctrines held by their ancestors, and, at first,
because they are held by their ancestors;
therefore all religions are alike false. This
is a fair statement of the view ot which I
am speaking for the sake of argument, let
us suppose that any system of religious doctrine should be discovered or revealed whose
proofs were so absolutely conclusive and
demonstrative that they excluded the possibility of doubt, would there be any other
way of propagating and preserving such
undoubted truth, and of giving it full and
controling sway over the minds of succeeding generations than that of implanting it
firmly by early instruction in the opening
intellects of the young? And would the
fact that age after age received it thus " by
inheritance," be any reason why its sure
evidences should be distrusted ?
Christian* believe, many Christians know,
that the faith they cherish is God's eternal
truth. Would they not then be guilty of
great oruelty if they permitted their children
to grow up around them without making an
effort to inspire them with preferences, prin-
Sit Moon.—We ate happy to welcome
back our Colporteur after his missionary
visits among his countrymen on the Island
of Hawaii. He was well received by them.
He was at Hilo* on the day—May 10th—
when the tidal wave visited that harbor, and
gives a most vivid account of the sad destruction of lives and property. At the
Sabbath evening service, after his return to
Honolulu, he preached upon the closing
verses of our Savior's sermon upon the
Mount, and improved the opportunity to impress upon his hearets the importance of
building their hopes for eternity upon the
" Kock," and not upon the " Sand."

" He is My Minister."
Some of the people didn't like him.
They were free to express their dislikes.
Nor were they careful where they did it,
and to whom. Some did it in the sewing
circle. As one young lady did so to another, and asked her opinion, her reply was:
He is my Minister.
She did not regard him as perfect. A
better minister would have pleased her.
But he was her minister, and she did not
feel at liberty to set herself against him, and
to join with others, and members of the
church too, in backbiting him. It had been
written: " Thou shalt not speak evil of
the ruler of thy people ;" and would it bp
any less sinful to speak evil of the minister
who had been set over her in the Lord ?
Ministers are but men. They have their
failings. None of them are perfect. They
are not above the need of charity. And if
we would not impair their influence, and
stand in the way of their usefulness, wo
must be careful how we handle their reputation. When that is gone, all is gone with a
minister. His capital for doing good is lost.
Whether he be a bad man or not, when his
people come to think him so, or to suspect
that he is so, whatever his other qualifications may be, he can accomplish but little
for their spiritual benefit. Like Caesar's
wife, he must be so, he must guard well his
own reputation ; and all who. would desire
and seek his well-being and usefulness,
must consider well what they may say conS.
cerning him.

AN AFTERNOON AT COPPET, THE HOME OF
MADAME DE STAEL.
Last Saturday we made anothercharming
excursion, and this time to Coppet, a quiet
little town, on the shore of the lake, rendered famous as being the home of Madame dc
Stael and the literary birth-place of
•' Corinne." 1 hope that every enthusiastic
admirer of this remarkably fascinating and
exqusitely written book, may some day have
the same privilege that our little company
had, and see the old chateau under as favorable circumstances. It was one of those
rare and perfect days in the dawning beauty
of the spring time, when the sharp and stern
lines of the winter fade into soft and sweeping curves and the glad earth takes with
gratitude the blessed gifts of sunshine and
warmth. The air from the far off gleaming
glaciers was softened and sweetened by the
breath of violets and meadow grasses which
it had passed on its way. From our little
steamer we watched the shore with its ever
charming panorama, where natural beauty
takes on a new charm from the famous
names which are linked with the little
villages and old chateaux that group themselves among the trees and shrubbery. On
the hill, with its far-reaching vineyards, is
the elegant villa of Rothschild, more like a
palace than a summer house, and nestling
among the trees on the very edge of the
lake the dwelling of Sir Robert Peele. And
just beyond the country seat, where the sad
and unfortunate Josephine came in those
bitter days when another sat in her imperial
place. Off in the distance, where the churcha
spire catches the sunlight and becomes
gleaming shaft against the sky, is Genthoa,
so dearly loved of the Genevese naturalist*.
Here Bounet lived and thought and studied
snd entertained his many admiring friends
who came to learn at his feet. Dc Saussure
who was one of the first to open the beauty
and unlock the mystery of the Alpine world,
wrote amid these quietrural scenes his famous " Travels in the Alps." To these add
the names of Pictel, of Marignac, of Favre,
and of Boissier, and you feel that Genthoa
is worthy of more than a passing notice.
Just a moment the boat stops at Versoix,
where our brave little .teamer add* to its
passenger list. Here the Duke dc Choiseul
in 1770, laid out the plan of a city which
he hoped would one day be the rival of Ge.

United States Consul.—We are glad to
welcome our old Consul, Dr. Scott and his
wife, after their visit to the United States,
who were guests at the White House, while
passing through Washington. The President and Dr. Scott are old political friends
in Ohio politics, while Mrs. Hayes and Mrs.
Scott are cordial friends and fully in sympathy on the temperance question, which
has received a grand impetus from the
noble women of Ohio.

Necker and his daughter, Madame dc Stael.
It is a plain and simple resting place for the
most brilliant woman of Europe, whose pen

AUTHORESS OF THE NEAR AND HEAVENLY HORIZONS.
No names in modern French literature
are more loved than those of the Count and
Countess dc Gasparin. Their home in Geneva was the resort of those who loved to
view life from the same high and lofty standpoint as did their genial host and hostess.
All great, pure, noble thoughts found a home
in their hearts, and their writings went forth
to comfort and cheer thousands who looked
henceforth to them as worthy of their deepest gratitude. They were singularly adapted
one to the other, and presented a rare and
beautiful example of perfect union of heart
and soul. Among the works of Madame dc
Gasparin, the best known is the " Near and
Heavenly Horizons," which has been widely
read in America. It abounds in delicate and
beautiful thoughts and perceptions, and in
reading it the shadowy and far off, spirit
realm seems to come nearer and nearer, and
the glory and beauty and rest which are the
believer's portion, take on a reality, which is
often lost in the mystical and unnatural anticipations of many writers. She longs for
a heaven where all that is pure and noble in
this life shall find a fuller and more glorious
realization; where friend shall know friend,
and where, in the absence of sin, and in the
light of all divine and purifying impulses
the redeemed shall enter upon the grandeur
of their eternal life. If 1 am not mistaken
her book Was a prelude to that of Miss
Phelps' "Gates Ajar," though expressed
with a delicacy and refinement which is
sometimes lacking in the latter. Madame
dc Gasparin wrote other most delightful
books on a variety of subjects. She was
the founder at Lausaune of a most excellent
and practical school for the training of nurses. But the last few years of the life of
this most gifted lady have been most painfully clouded. Since her husband's death

a fine old feudal castle. On the opposite
shore lies Yvoise, from whence, tradition
tells us, a valiant warrior of the olden time
used to swim the lake on his " white
charger " in his attacks on the Paysde Vaud.
Among the clustering trees can be seen the
old chateau, whose last owner was Joseph
Bonaparte. Here is the beginning of " the
vines of La Cote," from which come the
most famous of the Swiss wines. One old
castle after another comes in view, each with
its historic associations; but none more interesting than that of the days of the good

of all that is wise and industrious. So strong

kingdom, distaff in hand, an inspiration to
all her subjects.

We take pleasure in noting another addition to
the list of benevolent associations of Honolulu.
Through tho zealmis exertions of J. Perry, Ktq., the
Portuguese Consul for these islands, a Society ha*
been formed among his countrymen resident, here,
on a similar basis of mutual aid with the English
and German Societies, and wilh a membership of
something over fifty. The new society ia named
after Saint Antony of Padua, a famous Portuguese
Confessor, of whom it ia related that he once
preached to the fishes, aod that on the day of his
death at Padua in Italy, on the 13th of June, 1281.
all the belli in the churches throughout Portugal
rang of themselves. Numerous other remarkable
things are told of this saint, whose memory ia
greatly revered wherever the children of Portugal
are found. Wednesday last the 18th, being the
anniversary of San Antonio, was appropriately
selected lor the annual dinner, which wa* spread at
ihe residence of Mr. Jose Perry, a relative of tbe
Consul, pleasantly situated at the entrance of Pauoa
valley. Tbe members of tbe sooiety wilh their
wives and little ones and a number of invited
guests, sat down to a sumptuous feast of good
things, and spent an hour or two in social enjoyment. The healths of Horn Luis I. King of Portugal, and Kalakaua, King of the Hawaiian Islands,
were duly honored, the Utter being proposed by
Consul Perry,
The Portuguese in these islands are quite numerous, and it could be wished tbat there were more,
for as a rule they are a sober, industrious, thrifty
and law-abiding people. Last Saturday tbe Oth

THE FRIEND,
vtrfshay e
ThoA2ne5iLadies'
Strangers' Friend Society
Was held at thebouse of the Rev. Dr. Dnmon, on
June 7th, 1877, when the Secretary presented tbe
following Report:
"On the 10th day of June, In tbe yesrofour
Lord one thousand eight hundred and fltiy-iwo,
tbete was usbered Into existence with appropriate
ceremonies, in this very room, the "Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society."
•'Fltty-two ladles were present who subscribed
tbelr names to tbe constitution, and started tbe
young Society on its mission ol love, to the sick and
destitute strangers within onrgotcs." We think tbe
bas fulfilled tbe promise ber birth inspired during
the twenty-five years she bos lived and labored.
We think sbo deserves a plsce among the "many
daughters who have done virtuously." Her simple annals, if properly written, would be. worthy
of a place among the good and nseful of any age.
A brief glance only of berj life and labor will be
preseuted to day. As ber name indicte* tbe great
object of tbla Society has been tbe care of sick
and needy strangers; and this, too, without regard to creed or clime from whence they came.
So it has come to pass that more Roman Catholics
than Protestants have received aid from our treasury, while England and her colonies, and various
countries, of continental
have furnished
tbe largest proportion of our beneficiaries.
Neither have strangers been the only one* who
have received aid. Etch year find* v* with the
names of needy residents upon our list, beside*
many wanderers who, during these years, have
been assisted in returning to their homes in other
lands, by tbe funds of tbis Society.
In all the varied labors ol the Society, we have
had tbe constant and devoted aid Irom the very first
of the Rev. Or. Damon, for our sick, our dying, and
our dead. No one not intimately acquainted withita
workings can Imagine tbe wisdom and judgment
needed in deciding on tho numerous applicants for
aid,and for caring for individual cases, otlon througb
long months of slow decline, until they are finally
laid away in the grave. Our fifty-two ladies would
have been often In great perplexity witbout tbe
counsel and old of Dr. Damon.
Early in its bistory, through the energetic efforts
ol those ladles, the Society secured a fund of t'JOOO,
which was, by tbe advice ol several leading business gentlemen of Honolulu, placed at interest on
good security, for tbe continued benefit of tbe Society. Tbe Interest, drawn semi-annually during
all these years, bus materially aided in carrying forward tbe objects tor which the Society was organized.
We have also received Irom time to time
generous donations from charitable friends. Tbe
names of all these are placed upon the records of
Ibo Society, and wo bope they are alto written in
tbe Lamb's Book of Immortal Life.
For more than ten years from its commencement
tbe sum expended annually by tbe Society averaged
f.VX>. Dniing tbe year just closed tbe amount expended has been $4154.
The number sided during tbe year bas been seven,
including two women with families of little children. Oue of our beneficiaries died a lew days ago,
after being in our care tor about 18 months. lie
was an English subject, and balled from Canada.
A day or two before be passed away, he expressed
• to our President his deep gratitude to the ladies of
tbis Society for the care they had afforded him
during bis very lingering decline. He was u Roman
Catholic, and was attended In his last moments, by
a priest of that church, who also took charge of his
burial.
Of tbe fifty two ladles who united in the formation of this Society 25 years ago, ritteen only remain at these islands. Eighteen have returned to
their native homes, and tbe remainder have "lallen
atleeo."
One of this latter number has passed sway from
ua during the year just closed. Mrs. E. O. Hall will
he always remurobered for ber large-hearted charities. She was one, into whose hands we were glsd
to see tbe means of doing good abundantly placed.
"Freely she received, very freely she gave.
Although forsome years her works of benevolence have
been given through another channel, yet we always
felt stronger for her life and tabors among us. "Sue
reals from her labors, aod her works do follow her."
While to many ol ibe original fifty-two have left

among us from distant lands, from lime to time,
who have cordially united with us in carrying forward tho work ol the Society. So tbat we still hold
hopefully on our way, with tbe ever increasing conviction of the value and importance of thin organization in these distant Islands, of the Pacific.
Now, it is the custom of common mortals in
many places to celebrate the Ittlb anniversary of
their wedded lives, by festivals, called "silver weddings." where friends gather, to offer their congratulations, und present rare and valuable gilts;
and your secretary respectfully suggests, that il
would be eminently proper |.>r the charitably-disposed of our Island Community, lo make a generous tribute, on this unnlversary, to tbe labors and
value ol this Society a- a public servant, in ttie way
of substantial aid ; which shall he faithfully used
tor the poor aud suffering, and which may prove to
tbe donors, a treasure laid up in Heaven."

Pure religion and undefiled before God, the Father, is this:
Tovislt the fatherless and undows in their affliction, and to keep one's self unspotted from ihe world.

My Neighbor.
BY
LEIZZIE C. ATWOOD.
Tbre* times bave I envied my neighbor.
My neighbor over Ihe wsy
Onoe, when she oame ia her beauty,
Home on her wedding day.
:
Ono* when the proud, happy father
Carefully muffled tbe bell,
And joyfully tent me the menage,
Mother and child are well."
"
Again I envied my neighbor,
Though my heart fairly ached with its pain,
As they oarried a little white coffin
Out into the soft summer rain.
For I thought a* I sat at my window
Aloue in my desolate hall,
It* inuoli better to love and to lose
Than never to love at all."
"
And I, who hate gone through life lonely.
Forever so lonely must be;
For I know very well that in heaven
There ia nobody waiting for me.
While she, tbo' ber hair mty be snowy
Before she lie* down to ber rest.
Will at laat have her dear little baby
To lie like a dove on her brest.

Reading, Recitals, Sec., which serve to vary

It is customary also to have an essay on

leads to spirited and interesting remarks.

and Home Missionary among the Chinese,

The Chinese Sunday /School Committee of one is the superintendent of the
Chinese Sunday School, which is held
every Sunday afternoon, in the vestry of
Fort Street Church. This committee keeps

pertaining to the work of the association,
extracts and hints from papers and letters of
Foreign Associations and for the general
improvement, and advancement of our own.
At our last meeting the subject was discussed of the society awakening to active
labor. In union there is strength and if all
of the members will endeavor to attend its
meetings, and bdrig others with them, the
meetings will be made more interesting, and
attractive. We would also take this opportunity to invite the public generally to pay

his lot in life. He first expressed a very
stone cutter, who
common wish, "Oh that I were rich!" this
being granted by the gods, he next wished
to become a king, so that he might have
power.
In this station he still found a source of
discontent. So after many changes he
wished to become a rock, which even the
floods could not move, this being granted, he
for a time enjoyed his newly acquired
power, for neither the burning sun, rushing
wind nor roaring floods could move him.
One day a man with a sharp chisel and
heavy hammer came along, and began to
cut stones out of the rock, and the rock said,
" What is this—that the man has power
over me, and can cut stones out of my
bosom ? I am weaker than he; I should
like to be that man !" and there came an
angel out of Heaven, who said, "Be this
as you said ;" and the rock became a stone
cutter; and he cut stones with hard labor
for small wages, and was contented.
If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows
that he is a citizen of this world, and that
his heart is no island cut off from other
lands, but a part of the continent that joins
them.—Bacon.

what God thinks of you.

what we all require.

By this table it will be seen that fifty-two
of the fifty-nine churches are provided with
pastors or stated supplies.
There are forty-four different ministers,
thirty-five of whom are pastors, and nine,
stated supplies. In several instances the
wants of two or more churches are supplied'
by one pastor or stated supply.
Of the thirty-five pastors, three are American missionaries, two are the sons of missionaries, one is English, and twenty-nine
are Hawaiians. Of the nine stated supplies
six are Hawaiians. Belonging to the forty
churches, whose numbers are reported, are
6587 members in good and regular standing
in the respective fields, of whom 176 have
been added on profession of faith this year.
Belonging to twelve churches which were
reported last year, but not this year, were
1758 members. Total 8395.
SEMINARIES AND INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING.
Lahainaluna 'Seminary in which spe
have all felt »o deep an interest, as its
foundations were laid by the fathers of this
association, and of which many of our
pastors are graduates, has been transformed
into an English school. It is true a very
few studies in the Hawaiian language are
to be retained, but for the most part tbe
studies are to be pursued in the English
language. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, president of the institution, has resigned his
position, and the Hon. H. R. Hitchcock bas
been appointed to the vacancy, and wilt
assume the duties of president at the commencement of the next term. Mr. Baldwin
has been appointed Inspector General of
Schools, in place of Hon. H. R. Hitchcock.
The ffilo Boarding School continues on
its way, under the guidance of its Board of
Trustees. Mr. Makaitnoku is principal.
He has two Hawaiian assistants. Rev. D.
B. Lyman, formerly principal, continues to
act as treasurer.
These institutions are now under the
superintendence of the Hawaiian Board of
Education ; the time having expired, when
those who established them, can have a
voice in their management.
The female seminaries in sympathy with

namely four. They have many pupil* s*
they can well accommodate.
A grant of IftOO from the A. B. C. F. M.
for female education in these island* was
divided by the Hawaiian Board equally
among tbe four schools,'giving each 1125.
Some changes have taken place in the
teacher* of these schools. Mrs. Smith from
California, has been added to the teacher*
of the East Maui Female Seminary.
Mis* Rowell has retired from the Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as has Miss Pogue
from the Waialua Female Seminary, and
Miss Thompson from the Kohala Female
Seminary. Miss King, it is said, will retire
from Kawaiahao Seminary at the close of
this year, and Mrs. M. E. Atwater will takeher
place. Mrs. and Miss Lyons' family
school at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued the past year; but with fewer pupils,
on account of Mrs. Lyons' health.
A good work is being done by those who
labor in these schools. Though some of the
graduates may disappoint the expectations
of those who labor for them, ripe fruit is
yearly produced by these schools. Make
the mothers of the nation pure, and the
population will be pure.
..
CHINESE WORK.
The Hawaiian Board have given $100,
the past year toward the support of the
Chinese Colporteur, Sit Moon. This brother
is doing a good work among his countrymen.
Some professing Christians from China
have brought letters of dismission from
churches in China to the churches here.
This is a new feature of our work among
this class. These Christian Chinese are
for the most part at Kohala, and are spoken
of in the highest terms. Sit Moon has
visited them, at the Kohala plantation.
Ought not this board to do more than it has
done for this increasing class of our population? Your present secretary thinks it ought.

institution has been greatly afflicted
the past year in the removal by death of
President of the Faculty, Rev. B. W.
Parker, who had been connected with the
seminary from the time that it was removed
from Wailuku, Maui, to Honolulu, Oahu.
The A. B. C. F. M. have designated
and sent to us a man to be at the head of
this school of Prophets, the Rev. C. M.
Hyde, D. D., from Massachusetts. The
doctor is with us to engage in the work
of raising up an efficient and educated
Ministry for our Hawaiian churches, and
Foreign Missionaries for the North Pacific.
In this he will have the aid and sympathy
of all lovers of Hawaii nei. The former

years 1876-1877 were commenced in October, 1876, and continued until the death of
the late President of the Faculty. Rev. D.

part of the year.
Nine pupils have been in attendance at

PUBLICATIONS.
The newspaper Ka Lahui Hawaii,
("The Hawaiian Nation") has been continued as in former years. It has won its
way among the people. More than 2000
copies are weekly circulated. Our board
have appropriated I*6oo the past year
toward its support. We have paid out for
printing the paper since last June the sum
of 52.693 dollars.
Rev. M. Kuaea has had a Sabbafh school
book, the Haaicina Mua [First Lessons,]
(prepared by Rev. L. Lyons), in his hand
for a revision. If it is ready it will be put
through the press the coming year.
A revised edition of 2000 copies of the
Gilbert Islands Xew Testament, is now
being printed here in Honolulu by Mr. H. M.
Whitney under the superintendence of Rev.
H. Bingham.
200 copies of the new edition of Hawaiian
Bibles, bound in a cheap form, have been
received from New York. 100 of these
were a donation from the Bible Society, to
make up losses on the sales of the book
here, as we sell the book for less than cost
price in New York.
Our debt to the American Tract Society
has been reduced to $176.10. We have
forwarded that Society 8500 during the
less children, of the Gilbert Islands mission.
Mr. Whitney of Ebon says,"The captains and mates were kind, and afforded all
the facilities in their power to the accomplishing of our work. I was allowed all the
time I asked for at eaoh station."
MARQUESAS MISSION.
No personal intercourse has been held
with the brethren of this mission the past
year. Letters however have been received
from each of the missionaries. The work
is as it has been in years past. Our mis-
sionaries are exerting an influence for good
over the dwellers on those islands, aboriginal
and foreign. They have no idea of leaving
the field. For years, efforts have been made
to get a reinforcement for this mission, but
without success. The missionaries in that
field are as last year.

The Hawaiian Board, co-operating with

JYono\tti. Respecting this island our late
delegate reports thus: "Starvation and
cannibalism are said to be frightfully common. But the picture is not all dark. A
native of Nonouti, Kaupi by name, went
several years ago to Fiji to worn on the
plantations, and from thence went to Samoa
where he was converted. Learning; that his
native island was left in darkness without a

Foreign Department.
MORNING STAR.
The Morning Star left Honolulu on the
sth of July, 1876, on her annual visit to
our missions in Micronesia. Rrturning, she
arrived at Honolulu on the 14th of January,
1877. having been absent a little over six
months. The voyage was a prosperous one.
The following missionaries returned to Honolulu on the vessel: Rev B. G. Snow
and wife, with Mrs. Kaaialii and child of
the Marshall Island mission. Mrs. Logan
of Ponspe. R««v. H. J. Taylor and son,
with Key. W. B. Kapu and his thn»e mother-
ings, to teach his countrymen. On the way
he called at Tapiteuea, where he bought
books of Mr. Kapu. * * When he arrived honfe he berated his countrymen for
having driven off their missionary. They
told him they did not drive him off, nor did
they wish him to leave, but tharsickness
was the occasion of his having. He told
them that could never be, that if they had
not done anything else, they had neglected
him and left him
to starve,
and neglected to
attend on hi* instructions and he had become sick in consequence, and thus been
obliged to leave. But he commenced to
teach them, going from one council-house to
another, till they became interested and fol-

lowed him round from place to place, to
learn. May we not hope that this work is
of God, and that good will be done by this
young disciple."
Apemama. In speaking of Moses Kanoaro, a licensed Gilbert Island preacher in
charge of the missionary wtirk on this island, Mr. Bailey says
" Moses Kanoaro
gives a good account of things, though it
would seem there is no special change since
last year." " In company with him and
Rev. Mr. Kanoa for interpreter we went on
shore to his house, where we saw his wife
in her department as house-keeper, which
she seemed to administer well, so far as I
could judge. At any rate the house and
surroundings were very neat."
Maiana. Six persons have been admitted to church fellowship. Key. W. N. Lono
:
reports the work ss not progressing. At an
examination, three schools were represented.
Population of the island from 2 to 3,000,
and thought to be increasing. Of the work
here Mr. Bailey reports '• the work on Maiana to be going on much as usual. The
people at the station give less heed to his
[Rev. W. N. Lono's] instructions than do
those of a village some eight miles distant to
which he often goes. If the darkness is
passing away it does so very slowly. But
Lono and his worthy help-meet seem to
have perseverance to hold on, and we may
hope that in due season they will reap a rich
reward »
* * It must be noted how
the people come around the missionary in
these islands, and pour into his house and
yards, with their often very disagreeable
presence, and make themselves very familiar
to annoyance. The missionaries are very
patient with them, and have much of. this
sort to bear."
Marakei. Rev. D. Kanoho reports three
places where schools are held. Mr. Bailey
says : " We found the work going on prosperously. * * * * Mr. Kanoho reports 75 church members, and tbat there is
much desire for instruction. There is much
drunkenness here as in Tapiteuea, but there
is also a strong determination on the part of
many to hold on to the ways of the Lord.
If would seem that this island is among the
brightest* spots in the Gilbert group. Mr.
Kanoho and wife are faithful missionaries."
Tarawa. For more than a year no missionary had been resident on this island.
Mr. G. Hainn returned from Apaiang to his
old post in September last. He had visited
the church there with Rev. G. Leleo early in
the year. Several members were suspended. The Lord's Supper was observed
by the church. One has since been added

Apaiang. At this island Messrs. Taylor and Leleo have labored with much success. Tbe training school was prospering.

Tarawa. Three other! have charge of day
schools in as many villages on Apaiang.
The church seems to be in a good, healthy
condition, and the people generally seem
much more respectful and decorous than
they have been. Mr. Bailey adds, " Upon
the whole, appearances are more favorable
for Apaiang now than they have ever been,
and we may hope that a great blessing will
descend upon this hitherto hard field, if the
work is continued." About 200 belong to
the Christian party ; 65 are in good standing in the church. Population in November, 1571.2792; in April, 1876, 2823. It
is very doubtful whether Mr. Taylor will
ever be able to return again to Apaiang.
Of Mr. Bingham's work mention has already been made. We add, that Mrs. Bingham is assisting in reading the proofs of the
revised Gilbert Islands New Testament, for
which book, and also for hymn books, our
late delegate says, in speaking ol the work
on Marakei, there, is " great demand with
no supply."
At Butaritari and Makin there are two
churches, one of which is under the rare of
Rev. J. W. Kanoa. This church seems to
have suffered very much during the late absence of its pastor.
Only seven church
members are in regular standing. Mr.
Bailey says that " Nan Teitei, brother of the
king, sent $200 in gold per Morning Star
to E. O. Hall & Son, to purchase lumber for
a new church." The other church is at
Kuma [the north end of Butaritari | and
Makin, under the pastoral charge of Rev. R.
Maka. It is represented as in a prosperous
state ; 11 persons have been admitted to the
church the past year. 59 church membersare
in regular standing Mr. Maka's health is
not good. Schools are not in a prosperous
state. This island is the most fertile of the
as
a
group.
In speaking of the whole group, our delegate says : "A field of 30,000 people, the
number which the Gilbert Islands are sup-
posed to contain, should engage the earnest
attention of all workers for the heathen."
In our portion of the group there are—l
station occupied a- part of the past year by
one American, 7 by Hawaiians, 6 outstations, 8 churches, 295 church members in
regular standing, 2 American and 8 Hawaiian missionaries, 1 American and 7 Hawaiian female assistant missionaries, 3 native
catechists, 10 teachers in day schools.

Dr. and Mrs. Pease are now here ready
to go down on the Morning Star. Mr.

Of Mr. Nawaa and wife mention has been
already made.
Rev B. G. Snow ami wife have been compelled to leave the field for the present on
account of Mr. Snow's health. Mr. and
Mrs. Whitney are not strong but continue
in the work. The work on these islands
has been impeded the past year by wars and
rumors of war.
Milk; the island formerly occupied by
the late Kahelemauna and his wife (now
Mrs. Nawaa), is spoken of as the most
promising field in the Marshall Islands,
Jeremiah a licensed preacher of this group
has been ordained\s pastor over the church
at Mille, 2 deacons elected by the church,
were 6et apart to their work by the laying on
of hands—and 23 persons received into the
church,—the chief and his wife among the
latter.
Andrew a Marshall island man, is the
teacher at Aruo. The people very much
desire a Hawaiian missionary. Some 3 or
4, in the estimation of Andrew, have passed
from death into life.
On the island of Mejuro, war has reduced
the number of scholars iv the schools, and
also hindered the progress of the cause.
Mr. Kekuewa, who is the Hawaiian teacher
there says, " It is a time of darkness at
Mejuro. There are 3 great impediments in
the way of the progress of the Gospel, viz :
Ist, the conduct of foreigners; 2d, war; 3d,
dancing.
Jaluij is well supplied by Rev. D. Kapali. lhings look prosperous at tbe station.
Mr. Kapali bas built a dwelling-house for
himself. It will be remembered that there
was a severe hurricane on this island two
years ago, which did much damage rfl
houses, lands and trees. Capelle & Co.
have stores here, and do a large business.
Rumors of war, though there has been flo
fighting, have not helped on the work. Mr.
Kapali is not strong, but labors as he has
opportunity, and is respected by foreigners
and natives.
At Xamarik, Matthew, the Marshall Island teacher, was ordained deacon with
power to marry. The people very much
need pastoral care. 12 persons were admitted to the church by baptism. This was rh
former years one of the most flourishing
fields in the Marshall Islands. Here Kapali
and Kaelemakule labored with great acceptance to the people. There are some 60
church members on the island; several
church members were suspended last year.
This island needs the watchful care of a
good, energetic, pious Hawaiian minister.
Who will go to fill the place ?
The American missionaries reside on the
island of Ebon. The training school is on
that island ; the school is doing a good work
for the Marshall islands*. Mrs. Peace will
take part in this school. The church has
prospered under tbe cate of Mr. Whittle).
Rumors of war however have hindered the
progress of the work of the Lord. The
church building here is a good one. The
church members are somewhat awake.
There are many things to discourage in this

earnestness was apparent on every hand, and,
for the Year ending May 15th, 1877.
if I mistake not, the people of Pingalap have
never been guilty of so gross licentiousness
as some of the people of the other islands.
I consulted with your delegate, Mr. Bailey,
and it seemed best to administer baptism to
these candidates. The state of the work
these is such that I think it imperative that
a way be provided for one of the Ponape
brethren to visit the island, and remain there
three or four days at least."
Ponape. The work in this island is progressing rapidly. Four new churches have
been formed in Mr. Sturges' field. There
are now 10 independent churches with their
own pastors, superintended by Mr. Sturges
in that part of the island. Mr. Sturges
writes : *' 1 find it pleasant work to feed
these, though sometimes I must cut the slice
thin to make the loaf go around." " Religious interest began during the week of
prayer in January and has not wholly
ceased, though 1 have so little time to follow
it up: Schools at Ova continue to prosper."
Mr. Logan writes : " Our year's work on
Ponape as a whole has been very encouraging. School unusually well attended;
scholars have made good progress. The
people of Kenan have built a school house,
30x40 feet. 25 persons have been added to
the church of Kenfti, and 20 fallen ones
have been restored. The missionaries of
the Caroline Islands are—

FRIEND,
strengthened our hands; and we trust we
shall now return to our various posts to
labor more earnestly than ever before.
We have fifty-nine churches, many of them
too feeble to support a pastor, and we recommend that small neighboring churches beunited, that thus their efficiency may be in-
creased.
We hear with wonder and joy of the glorious revivals of religion in other lands, yet
alas, we are called to mourn over our own
leanness. Doubtless the sin; that defile the
churches have grieved the Spirit of God.
A spirit of worldliness prevails, ancient idolatry has been revived in some places, drinking awa and other intoxicating drinks, im-
purity in the domestic relations and great
indifference to religion. A more vigorous
exercise of discipline must be exercised ere
we can expect a blessing. When we heartily join in endeavors to purify the churches,
we may hope the windows of heaven will be
opened in answer to our prayer, '• Oh Lord,
revive thy work in the midst of the years,
in the midst of the years make known ; in
wrath remember mercy."
BENEVOLENT CONTRIBUTIONS.
[For these
see Treasurer's report and
statistical table.]
SABBATH SCHOOLS
Are kept up in most of the churches; in
some with untiring zeal, but in many the
same lukewartnness that is taking away the
life of the churches, is withering the Sabbath school. The command of our Lord,
" Feed my lambs," should lead pastors to
devote more earnest care to these
and not leave them entirely to the superintendent and teachers.
Sit Moon, the Chinese colporteur, has a
very interesting Sabbath school of Chinamen in Honolulu.

"Pleasant Memories."—In the issue of
the Advertiser of July 21, the editor dilates
upon the pleasant impressions made upon
the minds of the passengers landing from
the Australian steamers and spending a few
hours in our shady bowers, riding up to the
Pali and listening to the sweet music discoursed by Berger's band of Hawaiian musicians. This item reminds us of a paragraph in a letter received per last Australian
steamer from the Rev. Dr. Fletcher, who
passed our island** in 1871, and who will be
remembered by his lecture in the Fort Street
Church on the siege of Jerusalem by Titus.
His letter opens thus :
" Time is rapidly making our pleasant intercourse of a few days in Honolulu in 1871,

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
rior is a beautiful gothic, and iconoclastic
zeal and successive revolutions have left
many interesting relics which have disappeared from St. Pierre in Geneva. Sculptured and excessively dusty bishops, with
folded hands and shepherd's crook, lie in
marble dignity. Noble families of Lausaune
and Berne are still remembered in their
coats of arms and lengthy descriptions.
Workmen were busy in restoring a portion
of the church and very persistently interfered with the historic memories of the interior. Under these arches Calvin, Viret, and
Farel held their famous conference and ushered in the Reformation. But the real
beauty of this old cathedral is in its exterior,
in its flying buttresses, graceful spires,
sculptured apostles, and massive walls.
Worn and ancient steps led up to the belltower from which we caught a glorious view
of the town and blue lake and encircling
mountains On every object for miles about
fell the softening beauty of the morning sunlight. The wooded slopes and distant plains
were bright with the early leaves of May.
A fine terrace shaded with old trees lies on
oae side of the cathedral and in this quiet
and cool retreat one would gladly stay and
dream the whole day through. Just beneath 1 noticed a large class of laughing,
merry Swiss girls, who were enjoying tbe
sunshine (of which they seemed a part), far
more than the instructions of their drawing
master, who sat contentedly in their midst.
Sketch books and pencils were powerless in
this wonderful beauty of sky and cloud and
mountain. The old academy from which
the fine army of students have just issued, is
a short distance beyond. This is the intellectual'center of an intellectual city. Lausaune has seen many noble thinkers and
writers and students. Here Vinet, that fine
representative of Christian scholarship lived
and lectured. His widow is still here. The
library is a little world in itselfand presided
over by a most devoted custodian, who exhibited his treasures with a very enthusiastic fondness. Up the hill, a little farther on
is the ancient chateau with.its four turrets,
which basked in the sunlight, in a kind of
sleepy indolent way, as its six or eight-centuries fairly entitled it to do. It has lost its
former feudal and warlike character and become a very proper and sedate modern
affair in the interior and been converted into
public offices. The shady court near at
hand was filled with gentlemen at noon
time discussing business and politics, etc.
Very important looking characters in green
coats with huge brass-buttons passed here
and there, the very personifications of propriety. Off on.the hills lay beautiful residences, iv the cool recesses of groves and
shrubbery. In tbe suburbs is the former
home of Kemble the actor, and his body is
buried in the cemetery on the road to Berne.
Then in the forest still farther on tradition
tells us tbe Druids once worshiped. Eyes
and head and heart have to be kept very
busy, linking all these dates and names and
events with the present. Then came a little
visit at the Arland Museum to see some
fine pictures of Swiss scenery and historical
events. Lausaune has had its brilliant days.
Literature and literary people bave found a
home here and the names of Voltaire and
Gibbon, of Hallerand Constant, and Vul-
1877.
liemin are all more or less connected
with Lausaune and the Canton dc Vaud.
Geneva and Lausaune have furnished
thought for Europe and the great problems
of life, and death, the investigation of scientific and literary subjects, the foil and free
discussion of all high themes have had here
those who have taken a vigorous and intense
interest in them. Few greater thinkers or
purer hearts has the world ever known than
Alexander Vinet, a man who united to an
intellectual capacity of the highest order, a
heart most delicately sensitive and exquisitely attuned to all spiritual influences.
As a lecturer in theology and literature he
drew his pupils about him with a remarkable magnetism and in his own beautiful life
portrayed the noble ideal he held up before
them. After its centuries of political strife,
and its intellectual struggles and victories,
Lausaune is to-day a thriving city, of beautiful homes, of quiet and regular life and full
of many hopeful prophecies for the future.
But Geneva, Lausaune and ideed all Switzerland need the same rich spiritual blessings which America and England have of
late enjoyed. There is much real earnestness among many of the pasteurs and their
followers, but the country thirsts for some
glorious wave of religious revival and inspiration, which shall bring to these Swiss cantons a renewal of that spirit of earnest piety,
which has shown here so markedly in other
days. Pray that it may soon come.

TOQHUENAYVEVEY.
AT
May S. I can't resist the temptation to
sit right down here on the quay to write a
few lines, in the presence o'f these wonderful mountains, with my face to the
open valley of the Rhone, where the
sunset is just now saying good-bye and
lighting up the distant peaks. This is on
the long promenade of this favorite and
fashionable town, whose elegant hotels and
pensions, with their terraces and gardens
and balconies border the shore. The lake is
quiet and peaceful, stirred only by a gentle
ripple. A little puffing steamer is hurrying
down towards Geneva. A few boats break
the still surface of the waters. On the far
western horizon hangs a fringe of showers,
veiling the mountains. A muttering of
thunder comes to us, which is too distant,
however, to disturb our enjoyment of the
sunset. Directly opposite are the towering
Alps of Savoy, rising sheer from the waters
of the lake. The majestic Dent d'Oche is
just seen under the heavy masses of cloud,
farther on the Dent dv Midi, then curving
splendidly about the ends of the lake come
peak after peak, whose snows are soft and
warm in the fading light. Chillon lies a
distant white speck in the gathering mists
on the edge of the dusky waters. We lA
Lausaune this morning while the big drops
fell ceaselessly about our car. A few small
towns lay along the route, but none of them
of any especial importance. Long stretches
of budding vines, ancient and gnarled and
mossy, like armies of little black dwarfs,
and orchards' of snowy pear and tinted apple
trees and blossoming lilacs followed us all
to Vevey. Vevey, the guide-book
says, is the old Roman Vibiscum. By the
way every other place you visit along the
road seems to be built on Roman foundations,
and some old inscription or carved stone
links these later days with tho/e long ago
times when the eagles of the empire ruled
where now the white cross of the feudal
flag keeps watch and ward over these wave
washed picturesque towns. This warm and
favored nook is dearly loved by those who
come from the cold and rigorous countries of
the nortn; and summer and winter is frequented by English, Russians, Germans and
Americans. We found a most delightfullly
picturesque spot among the poplars on the
outskirts of the town, a tower of the middle
ages. Near this once lived Ludlow, one of
tbe judges of Charles 1., of England, who
made Vevey his home for thirty years. He,
with one Broughton, who read the sentence
of death to Charles, is buried on the hill
above the tower. This tower is in partial
ruins, and with its mantling ivy, and wide
fosse, grassy and flower-grown, makes
most charming picture. Two rooms in the
round tower are furnished in antique style,
hung with armor and ancient portraits. In
the tower room, dimly lighted by narrow
openings in the massive walls, sits a knight
in full armor, looking i»it grimly at those
who are thus intruding on his privacy.
Finely carved cabinets, helmets, huge
swords, cross-bows, and faded tapestries, nil
serve to uid the imagination in retracing the
centuries to old Peter of Savoy, who once
held the tower. At the other end of the wall
rises another tower half concealed in the ivy,
where our quiet concierge pointed out the
gloomy opening into which the poor victims
were thrown by their conquerors.
I had looked forward to a quiet little
supper at Rousseau's favorite inn, La Clef,"
but though I discovered an immense swinging key, I was unable to obtain from the
proprietor sufficiently definite information to
lead me to sacrifice a very comfortable,
modern hotel for the uncertain possibilities
of more poetic surroundings. Do come to
Vevey when you can, it is charming beyond
words, and more comfortable than I can tell.
Right along with this most majestic scenery
you have every possible convenience of
hotels, of beautiful shops, of art and bookstores, and everything is done to render the
tourist oblivious to that which is in any wise
unpleasant in travel.

leaping from rock to rock came down in a

and their shadows, crowning its surface
with wreaths of foam one moment, only to
throw them into the keeping of the sunshine, the next. Then there were fields and
fields of long grasses, of butter cups, daisies,
crimson clover-heads, forget-me-nots, dandelions, and a host of other wild flowers,
whose names I do not know, rising in brilliant terraces up to the fine old castle, on the
mountain side. The arched gateway, the
massive Roman tower in the center, the long
corridors, the spacious dining hall, all remain as in the days when the lords of the
castle held sway over the country for miles
about. In jousts and tourneys, in battles
and contests, in wars and crusades the
knights of Blonay held a conspicuous part.
From their high vantage ground they could
sweep the coast and country and lake at one
glance and kept in submission their vassals.

There is another seminary in the national

Through the kind introduction of Prof, dc

warm and Christian welcome. I think the
students at the New Haven Seminary would
see something of a difference between their
surroundings and those of the students here.
They have a few rooms in the rear of the
church of the Oratone, very simple and
plain. The young men seem to come from

went out in Calvin's day as missionaries and
teachers. The opening conference was in
an upper room which isjpached by winding
stone-stairs. Here I found quite a room
full. There were present five or six professors-men with noble faces, refined and cultured and Christian. I was especially struck
by the earnest, thoughtful yet cheerful tone
of all their remarks. The president read a
translation of a very interesting sermon by
1877.
Mr. Spurgeon, and Prof, dc la Harpe and
one or two other gentlemen spoke in a way

The first morning there was one lecture
on Exegesis, one on the history of religious
Dogma, and one on the Archeology of the
Old Testament. I could understand very
well and am sure it will prove a most useful
exercise. I certainly shall endeavor to devote three mornings in a week to it. Some

much gratification to have a copy laid on
our table. The former volumes we noticed
in the Friend of June, 1873, and October,
1876. It is highly gratifying to read in the
publishers' notice, a full recognition of the
important services of the Rev. Samuel Hunt,
who was for several years Mr. Wilson's
private secretary, and without whose aid
Mr. Wilson could not have written this voluminous historical work amid his many
public duties as Vice Piesident and lecturer.
Mr. Hunt, as we have good reason for asserting, acted a far more important part than
that of a mere amanuensis or copyist. It is
the joint work of the two men, and perhaps
neither could possibly have written it without the other's efficient aid and co-operation,
and hence is quite unique in the history of
literature. If Mr. Hunt felt at liberty to
state just the part he took in the premises,
while just to Mr. Wilson, it would be interAn editorial

notice in the Christian Union expresses
the desire for this information.
The literary character of volume 3d sustains that of the former volumes. After
reading the former volumes Judge Allen
remarked to us, that the work possessed the interest of a romance, although
consisting of matters purely historical. As
years roll on much of the interest connected
with events treated of in this work will die
away, yet the " slave element" in American
history will never be -forgotten or cease to
exert an important influence, hence the
value of a trustworthy history like this of
Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hunt. Works like
this and that of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," will
not cease to find readers for ages to come.
There is a desire—morbid perhaps—in the
public mind to revert to scenes of plantation
life and the influence of the institution of
'
slavery upon American politics and Ameri-
can history. In a late number of the Boston
Advertiser, the following notice attracted
our attention as indicative of this feeling,
even in Boston :

THE FRIEND, AUGUST,
( For the Faierq. )
How God Educates His Children.
BY REV. D. DOLE.
Paul, in writing to" Titus, (2:11, 12) says,
The grace of God bringing salvation to all
"men hath appeared, teaching us
that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we
should live soberly, righteously and godly."
The word rendered teaching means the
training or educating of children, a? in Acts
7:22—" Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians," and growing out of
this, it has the meaning also of chastening,
disciplining. This appears very clearly in
Heb.-12:5, 11. Here the verb and its kindred noun appear eight times. In the tenth
verse appears the object God has in view in
disciplining his children—" That we may
become partakers of his holiness." In a
kindred passage, (2d Peter, 1:4) " The exceeding great and precious promises " are
made prominent in God's way of educating
His children ; and the object is the same,
that they may be partakers of the divine
nature. Sometimes it is necessary that the
discipline be very severe. Then there is
danger of discouragement, of yielding to
despondency, and the exceeding great and
precious promises, as the Holy Spirit suggests them, one after another, to the mind of
the sorrowful, are like light in darkness, the
dawning of hope.
To become partakers of the divine nature
is something glorious, calculated to call
forth our noblest aspirations. This is not
like the longings of the Brahmans to be absorbed in God, lost in Him. It is to become
like God in holiness, in knowledge; to be
changed into His image from glory to glory.
This, and only this, will satisfy, -as the
Psalmist declares, " When I awake, I shall
be satisfied with Thy likeness."
Disappointments enter largely into the
discipline to which God's children are subject. We are disappointed in ourselves. We
hope for intellectual and moral excellence in
a high degree, but very seldom are our
hopes realized. Some hope for those accomplishments that will attract admiration.
Others hope for wealth, and for the deference and power that come fronf wealth.
They are disappointed. A few, one in a
thousand, or one in a million perhaps, attain
tbe object sought, whether it be wealth,
fame, or power ; still they are not satisfied.
Their anticipations are not realized. Byron
sought fame, or be awoke one morning and
found himself famous. Yet he could recall
only three happy days in all his life. Thus
it is with all who expect satisfaction in
power, riches, or fame. Vanity and vexation
of spirit is their experience. The soul is
1877.
God-like to be satisfied with anything
that the world CHn give.
People are disappointed in their friends
also. If, in prosperity, many are their professed friends; but in adversity, most of
these stand aloof, and manifest a coldness
that is little akin to true friendship. Job
was disappointed in his friends. They seem
to have Had a strong affection for him ; and,
for a time, their sympathy soothed him in
his sore afflictions; but it would have been
more for his peace if they had kept away.
They did not understand his case, or in
charging him with wickedness, they aggravated his sorrows. Nor was it strange that
he should call them " miserable comforters."
Thus people, in every profession, in every
calling of life, are subject to disappointment;
and every disappointment whispers, " earth
is not your rest; there is no satisfying portion below the skies " In every disappointment is an exhortation to choose the better
part that can not be taken away. God himself is the better part, the portion of those
who love Him, as the Psalmist asserts, '• His
loving kindness is better than life."
God trains his children for the better land
in various ways. He draws them to Himself by loving kindness. He tries and
refines them by afflictions. He weans them
from earth by disappointments. And He
has given His Son to bear our griefs, to
carry our sorrows, and to take away our sins.
Of His fulness have we received ; and we
may still receive until we are full,—until it
is no longer we that live, but He liveth in us,
the life of our lives.

Japan Correspondence.
Kobe, Japan, April, 1877.
Dear Old " Friend."—For reasons which
shall be explained, let me give you some extracts from the Japan Weekly Mail:
" Before the country was open to foreigner* or
bad felt tbe street) of foreign ideas, protected
prostitution and infanticide, all but legalized,
had kept down the population of theseislands to
the point at which, with the assistance of an occasional epidemic, it could produce a sufficiency
of food: and the means of clothing, housing, and
over using itself without assistance from outside;
which constitutes independence, according to the
advocates of protection in exe/cis. That threefourths of the population toiled in comparative
penury to support the remainder in idleness and
luxury. That the nation made no progress whatever, as we understand progress to be, viz :—lmprovement in the condition of all; but remained
sunk in a slumber of anything but sleeping
beauty —all tbis to protectionists of the true
type, matters not what. The country was independent. But the conditions of the problem are
changed. Japan is awake. Both the evil practices wo have mentioned are recognized by the
government, as at all events, something to be
ashamed of; and as the last census shows, the
population is increasing, at something like the
normal rate. Its people are no longer contented
with their misery. They clamor for real progress.
" New wants have been created; new habits
are forming; new voices are speaking.
nation been dependent on for" Twice has tbe

And we take it, the problem, as it will soon
begin to press on Japanese economists, is much
tbe same as that which began to distress English-
1840, vis—however its limited average bo

men in
This was said in behalf of free-trade. I
quote it in behalf of a free gospel. Nothing
else can eradicate these odious vices. When
people hear of the great changes now effected
here, the schools, colleges, railroads, telegraphs and steamers—and see the rich silks
and exquisite works of art which they produce, some think it is a waste of time and
money to try to evangelize them, that is a
mistake.—Nothing short of the gospel and
the grace of God can save Japan or any
other people, as Egypt, Greece and Rome
testify.
Cheating and lying are so prevalent among
all classes, that it is extremely difficult to
ascertain the truth, either through the press
or by conversation. Those who employ servants to do their marketing, take it for
granted that they will be squeezed a little
at every opportunity.
From all accounts I think the mass of
church members appear very well. They
contribute cheerfully, and considering their
means liberally, for benevolent object.
May 18. The divine blessing continues
to rest on all efforts, so far as I know, to
evangelize Japan. And it is marvelous to
see how the government, without designing
to do it, is aiding this good work. First by
opening easy and quick communication to
different parts of the empire ; and secondly
by adopting the Christian Sabbath as a day
of rest, and thereby giving its employees
liberty to keep the Lord's day holy; and
thirdly, by its great liberality in the cause of
education. In these particulars it is, I
think, without a parallel in heathen lands.
Beside Professor Clark, and Griffis (author
of " The Mikado's' Empire "), who were
very useful, they have employed four men
as teachers who have been wonderfully
blessed in their labors, both for the mental
and moral culture of their pupils. President
Clark (of the Agricultural College of Massachusetts), who was engaged for one year to
organize such a college in Japan, succeeded
by tact and decision in getting permission to
use the Bible as his text book for teaching
morality, and used it so skillfully that he
had the pleasure of seeing his whole class of
sixteen hopefully converted; and at the
same time his employers, government agents,
highly approve his conduct, and would gladly have him continue his labors with them.
Another person, Captain Jones of the United
States, employed in teaching English in his
own house, taught the Gospel and more
than thirty were hopefully converted, most
of whom are now preparing for tbe ministry.
Two Canadian clergymen, acting as teachers, have also organized churches, one of 16
members and the other of 80. A member
of Kobe church is employed as a superintendent of the prison, and hopes that through
his labor and prayers 50 or 60 prisobers are
converted.
As ever yours in Christ,
P. J. Gulick.

nature mean well, are drawn out
of.good intentions into criminality—into the position
of culprits. And oh! the wildness, when a
man has ventured, and fallen, and begins to
hide his wrong, with which he will throw
out his hands on every side to save himself
from exposure ! And here is where the
Lord's Prayer applies with terrific force,
when it says, " Lead us not into temptation." When a man is under a pressure,
and is striving for his own safety, and his
heart's love for his family is awakened, and
the respect which he commands in the community and his reputation for uprightness
are in danger of being sacrificed, and some
desperate expedient is opened to him—under
such circumstances a. man does not know
what he will do. And how many men there
are who breakdown in just this manner!
They begin by simply betraying trust in a
safe way. That brings them to a point in
which they have to betray it a little more
extensively. Then they must retrace their
steps, or they must take a more audacious
step that takes them nearer and nearer to
destruction,; and crime at last stands before
them, and says, " 1 only can save you ; "
and with horror and resistance they plead
against crime ; but at last, the alternative
being utter destruction or crime, they take
crime, and in taking that they take destruction too ; for crime cheats ; it lies ; it promises in the ear while it stabs with fatal
poison stroke.
There is but one thing that is safe. Truth
is safe. Honesty before men is safe. Moderation of desire is safe. Trust in God, do
nothing that you are ashamed, morning T
night, to open up before him in prayer, and
then you will be.safe ; but one single step
aside from that is full of peril.
The Duke of Wellington, it is said, replied to every letter, no matter from how
humble a source. A clergyman who lived
in a distant part of the kingdom once wrote
to his Grace, on whom neither he nor his
parish had a shadow of claim, to beg for a
subscription to rebuild a church. By return
of mail came back a letter from the Duke to
the effect that he really could not see why
in the world he should have been applied to
for such an object; but the parson sold the
letter as an autograph for five pounds sterling, and put the Duke down for that

"The man who works in

establishment will almost surely cease attendance
upon church."— American Messenger.
The pernicious influence of Sabbath desecration is widespread and disastrous. Inasmuch as the railroad corporations of the
United States have for a half century .been
educating hundreds of thousands of young
men to work upon the Sabbath and to desecrate God's holy day, we do not wonder that
so many of these men are involved in the
terrible work of the burning and destruction
of railroad property. If men are educated
to violate and break the fourth commandment, why should they not go on to violate
other commands of the Decalogue ? Corporations, it is said, have no souls; but it is
time they had. They have feeling if not
souls, and they can be made to feel in their
pockets and dividends. All the papers coming to us from the United States have much
to say about "capital and labor," but what
we desire to see discussed is the question,—
the moral obligations of capital." Are not

out inducements for young men and laborers

will bear in mind that such inducements are

We are likely to have in our community a
large class of unemployed men, and it is
utterly impossible to suppose that white men
can live upon the same wages and fare that
a Chinaman or Hawaiian may. Let it be
borne in mind that we have no assistance
from the Hawaiian government, for the
support of sick and disabled foreigners*,

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-NO. 8
Mannedorf, June 3d, 1877.
To my great surprise and disappointment,
I have just discovered that the London mail
leaves in advance of the time I had expected. Now I am afraid the steamer may
reach you without a word from me ; I have
been so busy traveling for the past few days
that I have not in readiness any fitting description of the places I have visited, but
hope that I may yet be able to forward
something which may be of interest.*
You will find your geographical knowledge somewhat put to the test, I fancy, in
trying to discover the position of Mannedorf.
On the map perhaps you will find on the
shores of Lake Zurich this little town, and
if not it is there just the same—one of the
quietest, loveliest little spots that the sun of
this June morning looks down upon in all
the fair lake country of Switzerland.
Now let me tell you in reference to the
days which have intervened since I wrote
you last, which was I think just on the eve
of my leaving Geneva. When one has been

nnd the wprk is carried on by a Mr. Zeller,
a gentleman who was converted here, being
himself originally a sceptic. Great blessing
seems to have attended his efforts and many
come here who are in need of bodily healing and others for spiritual strengthening
and conversation and to hear what is being
done here. Not that Zeller is in any way
different from other men, but he does seem
to have a faith so perfect and entire that he
has been peculiarly blessed. During the
summer there are many visitors here, coming for a longer or shorter time, rooming
near at hand and taking their meals in this
unique and interesting family nnd nttending
the prayer meetings nnd services which are
held in the little chapel. Mr. Buchnii nnd
Madame dc Gingins and others hitd spoken
particularly of this place, and so I came
here, hoping for a little rest.

Just a little way from the steamer landing, hidden among the trees, is the quaint
old-fashioned "home" where dwells this
little company whose life is founded on the
principle of faith. A happy, hearty German lady with a face as round and joyous
as you often see, the " house-mother," with
her keys and bustling, busy manner, met us
at the door and ushered us in. She told us
that this was one of her brother's most occupied days, and that it would be quite impossible for us to see him then, but she was an
excellent substitute we soon found and learned what we wanted from her. There was a
kind of hearty goodness which radiated from
her genial face that was most delightful
every time she spoke or smiled. They
would be most happy to have me stay with
them and as only those who were invalids
could room in the house, she would find me
a place near at hand. So I am installed in

Mr. Zeller is a hearty, genial earnest man,
reminding me in face and physique very
much of Mr. Pratt. I should think his face
would work a cure when his faith might
fail. There are many here who are affected
with some ailment or other; no medicine at
all is used and no physician called ; (only)
prayer and kind care are the sovereign remedies. Those who have looked into the
history of this most interesting institution
feel that it has been remarkably blessed, and
more devoted, earnest people it would be
impossible to find anywhere. Aside from
the invalids there are visitors who come
here for spiritual refreshment. There is a

there, then to Worms probably, to Cologne,
and then to Elberfield, which is near at

around Hawaii would to a somewhat experienced traveler.

I came on to Heidelberg, then to Worms

for the present domesticated in the family of
the Rev. Mr. Blanch, an English clergyman
studying German. Elberfield and Barmen
are two large manufacturing cities situated
close together in the valley of the Wupper,
a river which flows directly through the
two cities ; the surrounding country is most
beautiful, rich in woodland, fertile farms and
gardens. There is great wealth here, and
splendid public buildings, private residences
and churches abound.
In the religious world the " Wupper
Thai " or valley is especially known as being the seat of the most evangelical Christianity in Germany, and the clergymen here
are of the highest order. The great Dr.
Krummacher was for years settled here, and
here wrote at least a portion of his " Elijah."
Here too is the central point of the Foreign
Missions of Germany, and the training
schools of which I have spoken before. In
a week or two there is to be the great

gather from all parts of Germany to hear
the addresses just as at the meeting of the
American Board. With the clergymen and
the mission people the Blanchs seem to be
on very intimate terms. I have heard Mrs.
B. speak particularly of the distinguished
Prof. Christlieb of Bonn, who spoke with
such effect at the evangelical alliance in
New York, at whose home she visits every
year.

The New Steamer "Likelike."—We
heartily congratulate the Hon. S. G. Wilder,
Mr. Sorenson, and all others who have been
instrumental in furnishing for the public
convenience a first-class island coasting boat.
It appears to be exactly suited to our island
travel and trade. Long may she run. In
bidding farewell to the old Kilauea, we
cannot refrain from remarking upon the
good service she has rendered the island
community for more than twenty years.
Well do we remember when she first arrived, being commanded by Capt. Bush, by
way of Cape Horn. She was built under
the special direction and with the capital of
C. A. Williams, Esq., o*f New London.
Never was there a better built boat, and the
many hard •' knocks " which she has received while cruising around and among
our reefs and shoals, prove that she was
built " upon honor," and if the builders of
the Likelike in San Francisco have done
their work us faithfully and furnished as
good materials, they deserve all the good
words which have been published in their
favor. For- a more full description of the
new steamer, we copy the following from

Excellency of Knowledge.
BY REV. DANIEL DOLE.
might be; for not only had his life been
spared while " breathing out threatening*
and slaughter against the disciples of the
Lord," but he had been wonderfully changed
from Saul the persecutor to Paul the apostle.
And closely connected with the knowledge of Christ's long-suffering is that of his
love : for these are kindred attributes. Paul
considered the saying worthy of all acceptation "that Christ Jesus came into the world
to save sinners ; " and he knew that love
alone impelled him to come. " The grace
of our Lord exceedingly abounded with faith
and love which is in Christ Jesus." The
strength of this love was wonderful. " Who
loved me and gave himself for me,"—for me,
the chief of sinners. Well might jie speak
of this love as constraining,—constraining
There are many kinds of knowledge,
some of them more'or less useful, some injurious ; but there is one kind that is useful
in the highest degree. Paul calls it excellency of knowledge. It is the knowledge
of Christ Jesus our Lord. For this knowledge he counted all things but loss. As the
mariner in danger of shipwreck casts his
most precious wares into the sea, in order to
save his life, so (or this knowledge, the
great apostle suffered the loss of all things,
accounting them as the merest trifles in
comparison with what he gained. What he
sacrificed was reputation, the hope of promotion among his people, and his chosen
those who have felt it to live, not to themfriends. He not only lost them, but they
selves, but to him who died for them. Well

the lands of their nativities for reasons best
known to themselves. Referring to the numerous vessels which have been wrecked
and cut off," he says : "It will help to
form some idea of the enormous amount of
valuable property which has gone to destruction or fallen into the hands of barbarians in
this particular vicinity,- if taking the island
of Ualan (Strong's Island) as n center, we
draw around it an imaginary circle with
a radius of about ten degrees, and reflect
upon the number of vessels which, within
the memory of the present generation, have
been willfully run on shore, scuttled, or
burned, and the greater portion of their
crews exterminated." He then specifies the
Globe and some others, remarking as follows :
''
At the Pescadores, Captain Mclntyre, of
San Francisco, anchored and landed at the
invitation of a pretended friendly chief, and
was instantly beheaded on the seashore in
sight of his crew, who were directly thereafter attacked and cut to pieces, and the
vessel stripped and burned. At a neighboring island of the same group one Captain
Dowsett landed with a boat's crew and was
never more seen, although he is supposed to
be still living, as his name has been found
cut upon trees in several places, lately on
Arrecifos, an island now used as a trading
depot by Captain Hayes. A short timeago,
H. M. S. Blanche, when cruisinpf in that
vicinity, visited the island of Kaili, and
there buried one of her officers. They described the-natives as a good sort of harmless people, and did not seem to be aware
that about the very spot where they must
have landed there lies visible in the shoal
water of the lagoon the charred ribs and
floor timbers of the flying J<bx of San
Francisco, which was treacherously seized
and destroyed by these simple-minded savages, and all hands belonging to her killed,
with the exception of one Polynesian man.
This writer makes not the most distant
reference to missionaries or their labors,
omitting to notice the fact that since missionaries commenced their labors on Marshal), Kingsmill or Caroline Islands, all included in the "ten degrees radius," not one
instance'of a massacre can be cited except
that of a certain German schooner on one of
the northern Marshall Islands, and duly reported in the Friend by the Key. Mr. Snow
—an island where' no missionary had ever
landed.
We take an interest in this matter, because the safety of life and property and the
prosperity of commerce, has been most
essentially enhanced by missionary labor.
Merchants and others engaged in trading
among the inhabitants of the Micronesiau
Islands have found and will find it essentially conducive to their interests to sustain the
missionary enterprise. We hope Mr. Sterndale will bear his testimony to this point.

Then no groups of the societies had banded together to prosecute a common work in

In every department vigorous work is apparent. At Louisville the day after the convention, June 6-10, and a result of it,

THE FRIEND.
OCTOBER 1. 1817.
New United States Minister Resident.
Our new Minister Resident, General J. M.
Comly, has entered upon his official duties,
coming with a good war-record and reputation as a successful journalist, having for
many years managed the Ohio State Journal, one of the oldest papers of the West.
He served during the war, only one grade
below President Hayes. They were companions, on more than a score of hard fought
battle fields, and have been intimately associated in political and public life.
Our limits will not allow us to republish
the addresses of the retiring Minister, Mr.
Pierce, or that of the in-coming General
Comly, but they were highly appropriate and
suited to the occasion. We feel confident
His Majesty will find the present incumbent
as friendly and conciliatory as has been Mr.
Pierce, who for eight years has so honorably
.represented the United States Government
at the Hawaiian Court, during which period
has been negotiated the Treaty of Reciprocity, which is operating so eminently beneficial to the business and commercial interests of both countries.
"Fear God, Honor the King."—This
was the apostle Peter's doctrine, and it is
ours. Considering what God hath said
about the Sabbath, while it is highly proper
on all suitable occasions, to honor the King
by firing a Royal Salute, we think so far as
a salute on that Day is concerned, it would
be more honorable to His Majesty to follow
Shakespeare's idea :
'• But to my mind.—though native her*
And to the manner bom,—it is a custom
More honour'd in Ibe breach, than the observance."
As to the exchange of salutes between
national vessels and the government on the
Sabbath, we have always admired our good
old Governor Kekuanaoa's reply, when a
messenger announced that a certain vessel
of war recently arrived, was prepared to exchange a salute. The Governor was in
Church at the time, (a highly suitable place
for a Governor or any of the King's officers
on that day) when the messenger arrived,
the Governor replied apopo —to-morrow.

Cassell's Family Bible.—While glancing over new books at Whitney's bookstore,
which he was just opening from London,
pur attention was arrested by a beautiful
copy of Cassell's Family Bible. Without
speaking in words of exaggeration, the illustrations are excellent and numerous. We
have been carefully examining this edition
of the Bible, and can most cordially recommend it, for the type, references, notes, illustrations and general execution are most
perfect. It contains "more than 500 engravings." .Some of these are of the best
description; artists and publishers have
executed their work well. The engravings
are really a good commentary; those of
Rome, Athens, Jerusalem, and other ancient
cities are reproduced in a style reflecting
the highest credit upon the artists. They
are most life-like. The price is only SIS.OO.

FRIBOURG AND ITS FAMOUS ORGAN.
Lake Zurich, June 3, 1877.
The journey from Geneva to Zurich is
rendered especially interesting by the opportunity which is afforded of visiting Berne
and Fribourg, which lie on the route. It
seemed a little odd, as you can imagine, to
be leaving Geneva, where I had been for so
many months, and going away from the
pleasant circle Which had been so marked a
feature of the winter's life there. But one
of the characteristic features of a life oftravel
is the parting and the " good-bye which
come with nearly every day. Those who
come abroad should certainly know Geneva
well, it is worth far more than a swift summer visit, and beautiful as it is when the
warm lights of May and June soften the
landscape, yet one sees the Geneva of
thought and action best in winter, with its
conferences, lectures, addresses, etc. If any
of our families are thinking of coming for a
year to Europe 1 hope they will give Geneva
its due attention. But this is not Fribourg
certainly, but rather a parting look back at
the old Calvinistic city which has lain like
a scroll before me from the sunny days of
December to the fragrant twilights of June.
Switzerland undergoes the most complete
metamorphosis of any country in the world
with the coming of summer. From a lonely
silent world of icy wastes and solemn forests,
it becomes the play-ground of all Europe
and its passes and lakes and glaciers and
mountains are the delight of innumerable
tourists who come like an army from the
beginning of summer till the early days of
autumn. Just now the current of travel has
set in and all the trains and stationsfhre
animated by the faces of those who are
seeking rest or pleasure away from busy,
dusty cities amid the cool retreats of these
Swiss mountains and valleys. I know that
it is extremely democratic but if you want
to see the people of the country, you must
keep away from the first class cars and compartments and occasionally find a nook somewhere amid the 3rd class passengers. If
your pride, especially American pride, can
stand this economical venture you will find
yourself abundantly repaid. The cars themselves are quite comfortable enough for any
one except a confirmed invalid or persistent

THE FRIEND, OCTOBER,
nristocrat, and the people thoroughly civil
polite. The peasantry can of course be
c seen here, and they seem to take with
remarkable ease to this modern method of
travel. There is a sad decline in picturesque costumes however, and the dress of
the present day with its lack of artistic possibilities is taking the place of these uniqe arrangements of toilette which have made the
Swiss such agreeable additions to the pictures and sketches which have filled the
portfolios of artists wandering in their val-
leys and by their lake. Occasionally you
catch glimpses of people in their national costume ; a woman with her bodice brilliant
with silver chains, or another with her head
ornamented with a wide spreading bow of
ribbon, reaching out like two wings, but the
romance of the quaint and curious fancies of
the olden time is as a general thing lost under the bonnets and hats and dresses which
you would find anywhere among the poor
people of New York or London. The
mountains with their glittering summits, the
foamy streams, the wide reaches of the valleys, with their endless varieties of coloring,
still remain, but you must not think that in
all other respects you are to find your romantic imaginings fulfilled in coming to Switzerland. But after all, railroads, telegraphs,
perfect postal arrangements, hotels, daily
papers have their advantages, and you can
dispense with a little romance perhaps in
the midst of so much comfort. The road
from Geneva to Fribourg lies through a very
beautiful country, not ever wild or grand,
but always beautiful. I was fortunate in
my day, in visiting this Catholic city, as it
was one of the most important fete days of
the year. Every store was closed but the
whole town was out in holiday costume.
All the long winding streets were convertedinto avenues of freshly leaved trees, as countless boughs had been cut from the groves
about the city and placed in front of nearly
every house. The effect of all this bright,
fresh summer beauty among the old houses
and springing magically from thepavements
was very beautiful. In that pleasant, informal way in which travellers oftentimes
make arquaintence, I joined company with
a young Belgian, who, like myself, would
see all there was to be seen. He had been
in America, had spent some months in Philadelphia, during our Exposition, and would,
if he could have staid in the country, which
seems to be a kind of constant lure to
Europeans. I must confess that I knew
very tittle else about Fribourg but that it
contained one of the most wonderful organs
in the world, and of course hurried ofTto the
Cathedral, to be informed that there was only
aVare possibility that I could hear it at all.
Having several hours of sunlight left we.
devoted them to seeing the town.
Fribourg has no Lake to give it fame but
its streets run down to the swift, tawny
waters of the Sarine which winds about the
base of the town. Two beautiful suspension
bridges, spanning with one splendid leap
the valley beyond the town add wonderfully
to the landscape. Under the first the river
passes and from the second the traveler is
favored with a bird's-eye view, which amply
repays him for the walk hither. It seems as
if the very atmosphere which surrounds the
city had caught the spirit of the Fete-day,
1877.
so suffused is it with radianf sunlight. The
Cathedral tower rises like a guardian of the
city. Four ancient towers, loom up in the
foreground whose history perhaps dates
from that far past when Berthold of Zaehringen founded the city. A portion of the
ancient wall still remains, and about us on the
two banks are beautiful groves of trees.
There is just beyond a winding walk among
the trees out into the country from which
you have a fine view of the Moleson and its
snowy cap. A little Catholic church lies on
the way and its interior is brilliant with
flowers, and pictures and relics. Farther on
is a large crucifix bearing the dead Christ.
Passing under this ancient portal, which
may have served as an entrance to the city
in olden times, you reach a little chapel,
with an exterior like a Greek temple, •' La
Chapelle dc Lorette," which perches high
on the bank and is curiously interesting in
its roughly fashioned votive offerings, the
simplicity of which would be amusing, were
there not something pathetic in the spirit
which prompted their donors.
After having
been so long in Geneva, I feel almost as if 1
was transported into some different world, as
1 meet these reminders of superstition and
Catholicism on every hand. The great wave
of the reformation seems to have left un-
harmed its saints, crucifixes, relics and staand its peculiar middle age atmosphere.
Our way leads us back past the cafes where
the men are gathered for their afternoon's
amusement, and through quiet streets, winding up to the public Place, with its statue of
Pere Girard, one of the men, the memory
of whose goodness still survives. At one
side is a grand linden tree, still putting forth
its leaves in its old age, though one would
have said that long ago it was entitled to a
rest and perfect freedom from effort. For
the story runs that after the battle of Morat
in 1476 a young Fribourgeois, ran the long
distance to announce to his fellow citizens
the result of the battle, but could only shout
Victoire " as he fell dead from exhaustion.
"The
branch of linden which he bore in his
hand was immediately planted and to-day
we have the sturdy growth of four hundred
years, as a silent witness to the heroic deed,
which we will hope is founded on truthful
and authentic history. Fribourg has jts
famous Jesuitical seminary, now however
closed, its Hotel dc Ville, but the great attraction is the church of St. Nicholas or
rather the organ which it contains. I fairly
haunted the cathedral for fear that possibly
I might have to go away without really
hearing a note from the pipes which lifted
themselves so silently in the rear of the
church. But after many efforts anß inquiries I achieved my object. The church
itself is a fine Gothic structure and its interior was rendered especially beautiful by
the verdant boughs which were fastened to
each stone pillar and made the nave very
bright and fete-like. A kind hearted concierge with a tongue running glibly in
French and German, showed me hither and
thither, the altar, and the side chapels, with
their pictures and flowers, and bones and
skulls, in cases and ornamented most profusely, recalling some saint or martyr in
name if not in reality. As the twilight
gathered I came back again and in the dim
half-lighted church waited for the music,
tues
-
whose praises have been sung by so many
travelers. And it came very full and rich
and powerful filling the church and
in great waves of sound to the arches above.
The organist played for about a half or
three quarters of an hour giving us in that
time four or five pieces, which enabled him
to introduce many of the remarkable effects
of which this famous organ is capable.
The Tempest is very grand and the thunder
peals forth with a terrible reality, crashing
and resounding, and then dying away in
the distance, in the most perfect imitation of
that far off sound which is so agreeable a
change after the fierce tumult which has
preceeded it. Far above the wild, and
stormy war of the tempest, could be heard the
sweet, clear, flute-like notes of the organ,
like a hymn of peace in the midst of tumult.
It seemed almost impossible that the same
instrument could produce such utterly different music. The human-voice is wonderfully well imitated and after the music was
over I asked if the organist had not been
singing, as he played. Though 1 had
thought that it might be the vox humaua,
yet I was scarcely prepared for anything so
remarkably real and true, rising and falling
with the sweet, melodious tenderness of
some voice in the distance, or rather as the
mingled cadence of two voices, not ever
strongly, sharply marked but causing you to
listen hoping that the next note would
make it sure whether you were really
being deceived or not. Then the echoes
which we listened to; so soft and sweet,
that they are more like the quiet hint of
the firm strong notes' which preceded them,
than any real sounds from the same instrument. But it is impossible for me to give
you as I would like to do the wonderful
music of this Fribourg organ,—a task as
difficult as it would be to endeavor to translate into plain prose the beauty of these
June days on the banks of Lake Zurich.
After the concert 1 followed the man who
has the arduous duty of working the bellows,
up into the loft where the enormous apparatus is placed which is necessary to furnish
the air for all the thunder and music to
which we had just been listening. We had
been enjoying a» immense deal while this
poor fellow must have been working with
all his energy, " treading out the air." The
organ itself extends up into the tower of the
church, and from the front is in no especial
degree striking in appearance, nothing at all
like the magnificent proportions of the
Boston organ, or that in the Tabernacle in
Salt Lake. One can judge something however of its size, when he considers that it
has seven thousand eight hundred pipes,
some of which are thirty feet high. The
banks of keys and rows of stops or rather
handles are enough in themselves to daunt
any but the most experienced performer and
one would feel some hesitancy in venturing
upon unknown ground for fear he might unchain more tempests than he could command. I was more than pleased with all
that 1 had heard, but still I had not been
so impressed with the music that I felt
as 1 remember a young lady once told
me she and her party almost involuntarily
did in coming out of the church, imagine
there was rain outside' as a necessary consequence of this storm.

TH E F RIEND,
Opium Smuggling.
#When the Hawaiian Government passed
a law for the good morals of the community
und the protection of the subjects of this
kingdom, it was naturally to be expected
that some evil disposed persons, for the mere
love of " filthy lucre," would endeavor to
evade the law, by smuggling. We should
suppose such persons had found their attempts somewhat hazardous to both their
pockets and reputation. It has been found
that persons detected in this violation of law,
have been most fearfully ashamed of their
conduct and were ready to pay almost any
sum of money if they could escape exposure.
We cannot speak for Chinese smugglers,
but we know such to have been the fact with
those professing to pass as honorable Americans and others. It has been found anything
but a reputable business. We have now a
suggestion to make, that hereafter all detected in this illegal business, have their
names and residences published in the newspapers, as the names of persons are now
published in the New York papers, who are
regarded as the meanest men, viz: men who
have discharged their clerks because they left
their employ for a short time to quell the
not!! The names of all smugglers are, of
course, upon the records of the Police Court,
ami should the list be increased, it might
be proper to publish them. We also suggest to newspaper editors on the coast, in
Osegon and California, that they warn all
engaged in the Sandwich Islands trade
against smuggling. The chances of success
are pretty small.

The Smallest Book in the World.—A
search is going on for the smallest book in
the world. One has been found seveneighths of an inch long, half an inch wide,
and a little more than an eighth of an inch
thick. Its title-page reads as follows:
Schloss's English Bijou Almanac for 1842,
"poetically
illustrated by the Hon. Mrs. Norton ; published by A. Schloss, Fancy Stationer to H. R. H. the Dchs. of Kent, 12
Berners str., Oxford str." The book is illustrated with portraits of the Princess Royal
of England, then an infant, Charles Dickens,
Rachel. Herr Standigl, Ellen Tree, and
John Murray. The type is very small, and
was probably cast especially for this and
similar books, but it is perfectly legible to
persons of ordinary good sight. Is there
any smaller book than this in the world f
E
The Largest Book in the World.—The
trustees of the British Museum are in treaty
for the purchase of the largest book in the
world. Toward the close of the seventh
century, the reigning Emperor of China appointed an Imperial Commission to reprint
in one vast collection, all native works of
interest and importance in every branch of
literature. In the beginning of the following century the commissioners completed
their labors, and were able to lay before the
emperor a very palpable proof of their diligence in the shape of a compilation consisting of 6,109 volumes, entitled, " Kin ting
koo kin too shoo tselh ching," or, An
"
Illustrated Imperial Collection of Ancient
and Modern Literature."

"The Ship of State!"
The Ship of State, above her ikies are blue.
Bat still she rooks, a little, it is trae ;
An.l there art passengers, whose faces white
Show they don't feel aa happy at they might.
Yet, oa the whole, her orew are quite content
Since iti wild fury the typhoon has spent ;
And willing if her pilot thinks it best
To bead a little nearer south by went;
And this tbey feel, the ship came to near wreck
In the long quarrel for the quarter deck.
Now when she glides serenely on her wny,
The shallows past, where dread explosives lay,
The still obstructives ohurlicst game to try.
Let sleeping dogs and still torpedoes lie.
And so I give you all " The Ship of State !"
Freedom's last venture is her prloeless freight.
God speed her, keep her, bless her, while she sioers
Amid the breakers of unsounded years.
Lead her through danger's path with even keel,
And guide the honest hand that holds ber wheel.

The Alga or Sea-Mosses.—Of late
years, our Island ferns have attracted a good
deal of attention, but it was not until lately
that any one was found to be a sufficiently
pains-taking and devout student of nature,
to spend days weeks and months, wandering
over our reefs, and along our coral-girt
islands, to gather and examine our sea mosses. Such a man has at last appeared, Mr.
Evans Chamberlain, compelled in consequence of ill health to forego the practice of
professional duties, and literary pursuits, he
has undertaken the study of one genus of
plants,—the Algae. He has become an enthusiast in this study and finds over one
hundred species of sea-mosses, which are exceedingly beautiful. The specimens we have
seen are exquisitely delicate and fairy-like,

writes as follows:
We learn from the New York Observer,

that " on July 27th, General Grant laid the

were displayed from the windows of citizens'
houses. The authorities of the city, and
also the English and American clergymen
of Geneva, were present. Speeches complimentary to General Grant were made by M.
Carteret, President of Geneva, and by several of the principal clergymen."
In noticing this important event, we are
most naturally led to reflect upon the influence of John Calvin and his opinions and
principles, not only upon the religious history
of our world during the last three hundred
years, but also their influence upon the progress of liberty and the political revolutions
throughout the world.
The American historian Bancroft and the
English historian, Froude, are esteemed the
best historical writers of the age. Our
readers, we think will peruse with interest,
the following extract, from Bancroft, copied
from the first volume of his history of the
United States:

Europe would respect. So much for tha land of
John Calvin and lor, the theology that to many
call awful. His however waa the truth that

The celebrated Lecturer, Rev. Joseph
Cook, gave utterance to the following sentiment, at a meeting of Ministers in Fanieuel

THE FRIEND, OCTOBER,
the Sisters ol Charity ? Imagine the Reformer's feelings at this invasion of Catholicism ; then the cemetery where his body
lies, but unmarked by any stone. After all
it is very little that remains in the way of
material souvenirs of one who was the greatest theologiofn of any age. No one ever
lived who seemed so desirous of losing his
personal individuality in the realization of
ideas as he, and it would seem that his
wishes had received a fulfillment in the scarcity of objects which are connected with
memories of his daily life and in the continual and marked presentation of that irresistible and imperial force and will, which
seem still a living power.
Of course, as every one knows Calvin
was not the founder of the reformation in
Geneva. The political and religious storms
of generations had prepared the way for this
event, and many grand and noble men had a
share in its founding; it was left to this
timid, shrinking French theologian, passionately devoted to his books and thoughts, to
undertake the even more difficult and delicate task of completing that which had already been begun. No one can study the
face of Calvin, with its intense lines, its rigid,
unyielding features, its almost corpse-like
palor, and feel that it is the face of a man
to whom life was ever a holiday. So early
did great thoughts, incessant study, unbending mental efforts become a part of his every
day existence that you look in vain for those
tender, care-free, sunny traits, which time
and advancing age sometimes leave untouched in faces that have grown grave and
earnest, in the midst of trials and struggles.
So that in some unexpected moment you
catch glimpses of a joyous childhood and
youth shining through the after years. In
boyhood and youth he was already regarded
as possessing remarkable genius, and the
Catholic party was not slow to recognize this.
But with the force of his tremendous nature,
he struggled from the shadows which enveloped him into the clear light of Gospel truth.
The history of those early years, his school
and University life, his religious change, and
his noble stand in the face of opposition are
most graphically told by d'Aubigne in his
fascinating history. Though entering with
an intense interest into the religious questions of the day, he was looking forward to
a life of scholarly seclusion, to which his
tastes so strongly led him, when one day
passing through Geneva, he was addressed
by Farel, who in the name of theLord called
him to the work in that city. From this
time his life became one of almost superhuman effort. At one time victorious, again
in exile, attacked on all sides; coming back
in triumph; moulding, forming by the energy
of his undaunted spirit a people to the high
and lofty ideal of his convictions.
One reads in amazement the record of the
life of this man.Tir rather this all absorbing
flame, which seemed to glow and gather
strength while the frail and wasting body
was scarcely thought of. His house was
furnished in the scantiest and plainest manner. Aside from his duties as professor he
preached nearly every other day, and often
twice on Sundays. Engaged actively in all
the affairs of that civic-religious government
which he had been the means of founding,
and of which he was the virtual chief, visited
1877.
the sick and made the city his parish. His
correspondence was on an enormous scale,
embracing Europe in its grasp, each year
appeared one or two theological works. In
all the theological and controversial contests
in which that time was so prolific he held a
foremost position, yielding the field to no
man.
He ate sparingly, his sleep was
short and he permitted himself scarcely any
exercise. In judging of the man, it is but
fair to study the great actuating principle of
his life and work—and this was devotion to
his God. He felt that silence was a crime.
That he stood in the presence of awful truths
and realities, and that as an instrument only
was he placed in the midst of a wicked
world, to do the bidding of the Almighty.
Eternal laws, divine decrees, infinite and
unchanging principles, unswerving obedience, shut out from- his view glimpses ot
that divine and infinite tenderness, that
fatherly.and pitying love, which is equally
to be noted in our study of God's word.
He walked like some ancient prophet, smiting with his unrelenting scourge that which
seemed in anywise unclean, yielding to no
earthly voices ; pointing the people to those
mountain heights of stern duty and self-victory, which ever loomed before his vision.
Under this unique regime, Geneva became the stronghold of the new faith, the
very Rome of Protestantism. It became
the central point toward which converged
all the channels of religious thought, and from
which issued increasing streams of influence for
all Europe. It became the asylum for the persecuted and exiled. Scotland sent hither her
famous JohnKnox. " The Geneva of Calvin was
a pulpit and press." Bibles, tracts, theological
treatises carried in every direction the new light.
Hundreds of young evangelists drew inspiration
from the Reformer's lifeand teachings, and passed
on the word to other countries. The voice of the
reformation was heard in English, in German,
in French, in Italian, and in Spanish.
Luxury,revelling, intemperance were banished.
All theloose and wanton life which had gained
such ascendency under the rule of the Catholic
Bishops fled in dismay before this new and unyielding purity. We see a city of the most
severe and heroic cast, living under a sway
where religion and that too of the strickest type,
was ever uppermost. Each man lived in the constant presence of a life to come. Each family
and individual were under the watchful and
guardian eye of their appointed leaders. Music,
cards and dancing were forbidden. The laws
regulated minutely the dress and apparel of each
class of citizens. All ornament in gold or silver,
all fashionable or excessive dress were laid aside.
Profanity, impurity and looseness of life found
severest punishment. Only those games calculated to streogthen the body and inspire a military spirit were authorized. The day commenced
at five in the morning. The majority of the
citizens first repaired to the church. In the
afternoon the shops were closed and their owners
attended service. The most severe and careful
frugality was manifested in the family life; servants ate with their masters and in this city by
Lake Leman we see a return to an almost Spartan
simplicity of life. But all these restrictions
seemed but to give new vigor to life and action.
The city grew from year to year; Surely no time
bas seen more splendid activity of thought and
endeavor. A College and Academy arose, with
their professors and faculties.
But it is enough in the opinion of some to
mention the name of Servetus to dissipate all

year tils most painful subject is brought up and
men seem to enjoy taking the opportunity thus
afforded them of lushing the memory of the
reformer. That Calvin in this matter lacked the
gentleness and humanity which should have
characterized him, I think his most ardent admirers will confess. For years Servetus and he
sustained a fierce contest in reference to theological differences, which was marked by anything but a charitable spirit. Servetus waa a
man of decided ability and scrupled not to show
opinions.
While we would not exculpate Calvin from
bis
fault in the stand which he took toward him, it
cannot be denied that Servetus was a most trying and unpleasant opponent. In those days
men threw themselves with a wild and terrible
energy into all these theological contests. They
regarded those that differed from them, as possessed of the most deadly sin, and launched denunciation and invective and insult on tbem pro-
portionately. One now regards with amazement
the libraries of this belligerent literature which
sprung up on subjects, which a wise and charitable spirit would have far more easily settled.
The glare of burning faggots and the red axe of
the executioner are a sad commentary on that
spirit of fanaticism which in the name of religion
sought to establish its claims. The world is
learning that a surer wav to win men and advance truth is to unfurl that banner on which is
written Love." It is do defense to Calvin to
"
say that he acted as was customary in that age,
but it may be an explanation. Burdened with
the might of his great purpose, every voice
raised against it was that of an enemy. Hia
greatness had its faults, and in all this matter be
should be justly censured, so far as he forgot
that Christian spirit which should have actuated
him. The sad and painful tragedy which gives
the spot where Servetus was burned, a melancholy interest, will always stand as a witness
that no one should be regarded as above the
possibility of failure while acting from human
promptings. On the other hand the life and
magnificent labors of Calvin should not be
quite too common, through ibe
smoke of these burning faggots. These should Dc
studied in their proper place, and we are sure
that no one can come away Irom this study without a lively sense of the greatness and earnest
purpose ot this man, who sought not his own but
God's glory. I and the longer I stay in this city
on which he has stamped the memory of his name,
that my wonder and admiration grow as I learn
more of him.
At last even his tireless life must end and calling about him his tried friends and colleagues he
bid them adien, encouraging tbem to continue the
work which had been begun, and giving tbem bis
blessing. I have mentioned to you before the picture by Horming which represents this scene.

Cruelty to Animals.
We welcome an article in a recent number of the Maile Wreath suggesting the
matter of cruelty to animals in this country.
We are sure that no one can go about much
in the Islands without noticing and being
pained at the very general indifference
which exists in jegard to the rights of the
dumb creatures which are our servants.
The evil takes various forms, amongst which
may be mentioned cruelly beating, overloading, overdriving and underfeeding animals ;
driving galled and disabled animals ; bleeding calves; the use of tight check-reins;
neglect to provide water for cattle ; cruelty
in the transportation of live animals and
fowls to market. Besides positive abuse
from thoughtless and quick-tempered men
and boys a great amount of suffering is
caused to poor beasts by neglect. Horses
which have served their time and used up
their strength are turned out to pick up such
meager sustenance as they can find by
the roadside or in themarshes. We recently
observed a poor old skeleton of a horse
standing" half dead on a little ridge of land
in one the of Waikiki marshes. Three days
after we /gain saw him in the same spot
and attitude, evidently waiting patiently for
death to put an end to his starvation. A
few days later he had tumbled over into the
ditch and ended his misery.
Now such a state of things is a stain on
the community. Its influence on the children is ruinous. It leads to the deadening
of all moral sense and the disregard of our
highest faculties. How shall it be remedied ?
If we mistake not there is a tolerably inclusive law on the subject. But it has fallen
into sad neglect if not into disuse. A first
and long step in the right direction would
be taken if the authorities would see that
the law is enforced. But however well
executed the law cannot reach the real root
of the difficulty. What is most needed is a
Society, backed by the law which shall keep
the matter before the people and create a
public sentiment against all abuse and neglect ; which shall seek to reach the children
and educate them to true ideas of the rights
of animals; which shall invite the cooperation of ministers and teachers and stimulate
thought and expression through the pulpit
and press of the country; and which shall
have agents in the different parts of the different Islands, whose business it shall be to
investigate cases and bring offenders to jus-
tice.
We have had the privilege of observing
the workings of such a society established
in Massachusetts some seven or eight years
ago. Its complete success has demonstrated
its necessity and its practicability. To give
an idea of its method of work we epitomize
its report for one year :
The society published 12,000 copies of
an essay on stock transportation ; 30,000
essays on the check-rein ; 50.000 small
tracts, distributed a< Agricultural Fairs, Sec.;
130,000 copies of its paper Our Dumb
Animals ; 6,000 copies of the statute on
cruelty to animals; several hundred circulars on robbing bird's nests, shooting-matches,
and to butchers and drovers in regard to
shelter for cattle; 1,000 essays on horseshoeing were sent to the black-smiths of the
State ; 200 prizes were distributed to scholars of Boston schools for compositions on
"kindness to animals." An agent was employed to travel over railroads in New England west to Chicago, investigating stocktransportation and slaughtering; an animals'
home was established; check-rein signs were
erected at the foot of steep hills; drinking
troughs were located at several points;
hundreds of old and disabled horses were
killed, hundreds of others were withdrawn
from work. Three hundred persons were
prosecuted for cruelty to animals, and more
than two thousand cases investigated; a
national law was secured in Congress to
prevent cruelties in the transportation of
cattle; and several other States were induced to pass laws and form societies.
Is not this a splendid record and could not
much of the same kind of work be done
here ? We hope to see the matter agitated.
Through the kindness of Mr. Derby, the
Y. M. C. A. has held two Sabbnth vesper
services in the circus tent on the Esplanade
during the past month. The first, on the
evening of Sept. 2d, was very fully attended. The music was led by the Band and
was of itself an educating and elevating influence. The attendance on the second
evening was somewhat smaller, owing in
part, no doubt, to the fact that but short notice was given. The design of these meetings is to reach a class who do not ordinarily
attend divine' service. One man was heard
to remark that he had not been inside a
church for over three years, but he would
give five dollars toward the expense of repeating the tent service. This looks as
though the design was being accomplished.
We earnestly request those who ordinarily
do attend church to go to their usual places
on the evenings of the tent service. It is
especially for those who do not attend elsewhere, and the only evil thus far observed
as springing from it is the depopulation of
other churches. Another service will be
held during the next moon.
The Tenth Annual Convention of the
Y. M. C. Associations of Canada was held
in the city of Quebec on Sept. 13th, 14th,
loth and 16th. The topics assigned and
freely discussed were of an unusually practical and suggestive character. Ist. What is
your association doing for young men 7 (a)
railroad men, (b) commercial travellers, (c)
students and professional men, (d) young
men out of employment. 2nd. The necessity for an interchange of sympathy and experience of associations ■ how can this be

ciations : what is their work in towns. 6th.
Young men at home: how can they use
their homes to benefit strangers ?
The longer I live the more I feel the importance of adhering to the rule which I
have laid down for myself in relation to such
matters i Ist. To hear as little as possible

To believe nothing of the kind till I am absolutely forced to it. 3rd. Never to drink
