II HONOLULU, LAST OF THE KAMEHAMEHAS. The dynasty of the Kamehamehas, occupies a remarkable position in the world's history of the Nineteenth Century. The century opens with Kamehamehaeha I upon .the Hawaiian throne, and his successors and descendants occupied that throne in peaceful possession during the seven following decades. We use the term peaceful, giving it a marked significance, for during that period, while the thrones of the Kingdoms of Europe and other nations of the world have been shaken and many of them overthrown, the Throne of Hawaii has, been occupied by kings, who have ruled in peace, and their subjects have enjoyed peace. It was during the reign of Kamehsmeha II and his successors, that Chistianity was established in this central group of the Pacific This was an event, with its attending circumstances and consequences, second only to the landing of the Pilgrims on Plymouth Rock, in the 17th century. Among the passing events of the age, this is an event of no ordinary note and significance, that the last of the Kamehameha family should have passed away and the door of the Royal Mausoleum ck>sed upon the mortal remains of Mrs. Bernice Pauahi Bishop, wife oi Hon. Charles R. Bishop, born December 19, 1831, died October 16, 1884, aged 53 years. This event has been made an appropriate topic of discussion in both the Fort street and Bethel pulpits, by their respective pastors. The following paragraphs we copy from the November number of the Hawaiian Monthly as pecularily and admirably suited to the occasion THE NOVEMBER* 1884. 81 9tt> S*m*>, n)oft«t«« **_ King's Guard.

OCTOBER MONTHLY CONCERT AT We have recently heard this questionasked, in connection with the authorship of a volume on"The Past and Present of the Sandwich Islands'" being a series of lectures to the first Congeregational Church of San Francisco, 1853. In answer to this question we wouldremark that the Rev. T. D. Hunt, came to the Sandwich Isiands, as a missionary of the Americcn Board, in 1845 and was stationed in 1845, at Kau, Hawaii. He very soon acquired the Hawaiian language, and in a few months was preaching. In 1846 he removed to Lahainaluna where he entered enthusiastically into the business THE BETHEL. . covers he was invited to preach to the Foreign Oh nation, rich dowered by God with large gifts and lLi\ residents of Honolulu, and held ser- Of wealth and vast power,—break silence, The veil that conceals the grand march thou hast made vices in the "Charity School House," Since fust at thy feet these great honors were laid. on ground now occupied by the govern- building. While preaching in this city, an urgent call was received from San Francisco for a Protestant clergyman to labor among the inhabitants of that city. A free passage was granted to him, a salary of $2,500 for one year's labor as a chaplain at large. He entered upon this new and important field of labor with great zeal and enthusiasm. He remained for several years as pastor of the Congregational Church ofthat city, and it was during thatperiod that he delivered the lectures referred to at the head of this article. Mr. Hunt was an eloquent and able preacher. We shall never forget the last sermon preached in our Bethel before his embarkation, from the text " Stand in awe, and sin not" Psalms 4: 4. After returning to the East, he was settled in Michigan, and subsequently in Sodus, N. Y. We last met our old and pleasant associate in Philadelphia, at the Centennial, in 1876. Our recollections of Mr. Hunt as a preacher and friend are most pleasant. His lectures are worthy of perusal and we rejoice that a copy has found its way into the Honolulu Library, and another copy lies before us, apresent Irom the author more than thirty years ago. In 1847 he wrote several atricles for the Friend, The tapestry drawn, with dismay we behold Great darkness and gloom, thy long past close enfold. What meaneth thisdesert, thiswilderness drear, When God at creation the world cradled here T Have suns failed to shine, have thedews ceased to fal', Have winds wafted grim desolation o'er all T Have treasures entrusted thy mountains and seas Lain folded in napkins, thy long slothto please f We wish to thank the editors of the dailies and weeklies of Honolulu, for the many kindly notices which we have received since our return from China. The delay of this acknowledgement has been occasioned by the fact that our little sheet is only a Monthly.

Upon the failure of this firm, Lewis began to go down hill and has been poor ever since. Sometime in the fifties he built the residence in Nuuanu valley above the ice works now owned by Queen Emma. It is coincident that Lewis, first wife died suddenly in Kawaiahao Church about 1852 or 3. By a second wife he leaves several children. His death was caused by heart disease from which he has long suffered. The completion of the Honolulu Library and Reading Room Association Building, affords us great satisfaction. The Y. M. C. A. Hall, standing opposite, contributes to form a most com- mendable exhibition of the good taste and public spirit of the people of Honolulu.

One fact -of special interest is noted, viz, the relics of the ill-fated Jeannette have been found off the coast of Greenland. Supposing these articles can be fully proved as belonging to the Jeannette, then it follows that they must have drifted on the ice, a distance of "over forty-five hundred miles in one thousand and ninety-six days ;" allowing for all the twists and eccentricities which the currents may be subject to. This would give the floes an average time of about four nautical miles per day, which is just what took place." This phamphlet is accompanied by a map, indicating the present state of The scientific Arctic explorations. and America appear men of Europe more eager than ever to push forward explorations.

No young man should live unto himself. Nothing in nature lives only for itself. The flower that blooms in the garden or on the mountain side exhibits what God can do as an artist and sweetens the air which man breathes. It lives not to itself. The Redeemer of men lived for others. He "wentabout doing good." He lived to establish a kingdom.

This is a point to which we wish to call special attention, and if possible increase the number of paying subscribers. We desire more aid. During the last few years, this paper has been published at a pecuniary sacrifice on the part of the publisher. He no longer is favored with donations from seamen and whalers, as in by-gone years While our pecuniary resources have been diminished, we have not ceased to distribute our paper most freely among seamen and strangers. We trust the Y. M. C. A.and the Hawaiian Board of Missions, will see their way clear to come to our aid during the coming year. Those societies have been aided by advocicy in our columns far beyond the aid which they have given for tlic support and gratitious circulation of the paper. A returned visitor from the South Seas remarks that he " found The Friend every where !" A reader once asked : How is the Friend supported?" Our reply was: "By From 200 to away." giving 500 copieshave been gratiously distributed each month among seamen, strangers and others. Who will hereafter aid in this good work ?

The following paragraph from Harpers' Magazine answers this question in the best manner that it can be put "In the three hundred years there have been some two hundred Arctic voyages, forvarious purposes and with various fates. The Greely expedition wasone of the thirteen expeditions. Five hundred men passed two winters within the polar circle and nineteen of them only were lost. And lieutenant Ray says that the result of the observations of all these expeditions will be the world's knowledge of the* magnetic forces. That is to say, as the Rev. Hrooke Hereford, states in his admirable sermon upon this subject, 'Not one of all the thousand and ten thousand craft sailing to and fro among the many lands of earth but will be a little surer of its compass,a little safer,than it ever was before." Is it worth nothing? It is not the risk, the loss, even amply recompensed? But also as Mr. Hereford points out, the moral qualities, the patience, the courage, the self-denial, the faith.the endurance, developed by these Northern researches are incompable. "There issimply no other chapter in the history of human doings to be compared with it. Beside it the adven tures of commerce and conquest look greedy and base, the stories of chivalry are mere tinsel, the long heroism of the crusades seems a fevered frenzy." Cut bono} is not an argument to discourage the restless soul which the prospect of peril inspires, nor will the pathetic story of the patient and generous endurance amid apparently remediless suffering which the record of the Greely expedition discloses, dismay or deter other Greelys from daring the same dangers. The Arctic story is one of the saddest, but it is also one of the noblest, in the annals of human heroism. Haiper's Magazine. : — Prohibition.—There is a book recently introduced into our reading community entitled "The Liquor Problem in all ages." This volume is worthy of a thorough perusal. " Facts and figures" are dealt with in a style of literary fiinish which renders the work most entertaining. We desire especially to call attention to the chapter on Results of Prohibition, pages, 510 — 91 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1884. HOMESFOR THE HOMELESS. WEALTH OF THE SEA. Some anxiety is expressed in the newspapers respecting the future of the treaty. But in our estimation our islands are now receiving a far greater boon than any advantages conferred by the treaty. We refer to the arrival ofa goodly number of virtuous families, and accompaning these families manychoice and noble young women, to make homes for our bachelors. During our l»te travels in China and Japan, among the saddest features of the foreign society was the large number of unmarried young men, from F2ngland and America. F'rom reliable statistics it .appears that there are in China 387 m:\le missionaries, and 420 female missionaries from Europe and America. The purifying influence of the mission element is working out a most marvel ous transformation in the foreign society of China and Japan. Just now, the most happy and salutary change is taking place in our island community. Even in Honolulu, the number of good foreign families is upon the increase. We hail with delight every additional marriage. It elevates the moral tone in society, and adds another home to THE SAILOR'S HOME SOCIETY. our community.

An acre of good fishing ground, he pointed out, will yield more food in a week than an acre of the best and will yield in a year. Still more vivid was his picture of the moving "mountain of cod," 120 feet to 130 feet in height, which for two months in every year, moves westward and southward, past the Norwegian coast. Every square mile of this colossal column of fish contains 120 millions of fish, consuming every week, when on short rattons, no fewer than 840 millions of herrings. The whole catch of the Norwegian fisheries never exceed in a year more than half a square mile of this "cod mountain," and one week's supply of the herrings needed to keep that area of cod from starving. We might victual London with herrings for a year on a day's consumption of the countless shoals of unc.mght cod.—Poll Mall Gazette. Ixpended : $1,184 3° 780 deceived CO The New President of U.

Thanksgiving.—The 27th of Nov. was duly observed by Americans, religious services were held in Ft. St. Church, where the Rev. Mr. Oggel preached an eloquent sermon, which has been duly reported in the Dailies and the Saturday Press. Services were also held, at the English Church, where Bishop Willis preached, assisted by his clergy. It is highly creditable to the Americans and others in Honolulu, that they should so generally observe this day. Many ofthe stores were closed �THB FRIEND, DECEMBER, 92 EDITOR'S TABLE. Of late we have been peculiarly favored with having several very valuable books laid upon our table. If our limits would allow, we should be glad to give extended reviews of some of these book far beyond a brief notice. Theliterary and religious publications of Europe and America are increasing with astonishing rapidity. If they were all good, pure and salutary what a pleasant reflection it would be. Although we are not able to give extended notices of the books we wish to acknowledge their reception by the mail. A gentleman in Boston, has sent ns Myths in Medicines; a lady in New Haven, American comments on riuropean Questions, by the late J. P. Thompson; a lady travelling in Europe, The Life of Emmanuel Kant, by 1. H. W. Stuckenburg; a gentleman in Scotland, Revelation and Modern Theology contrasted, by C. A. Row, Prependary of St. Paul's.

It was very thoughtful of a lady of our acquaintance to offer a friend of hers engaged in literary and scholarly pursuits and mission-work, to send him some fifteen or twenty dollars worth of books provided he would only send her the names of publications and books which would suit his tastes. When we notice how much is expended or rather wasted in the purchase of expensive furniture and useless ornaments and really how little is expended in the purchase of valuable and useful books, we cannot but express our surprise. Good books are the best ornament for the bouse and home, provided they are carefully perused. 1884. WEALTH IMMORTAL.

The Duke of Orleans was the eldest son of King Louis Philippe, and the inheritor of whatever rights his father could transmit. He was a very noble young man physically noble. His generous qualities had made him universally popular. One morning he invited a few of his companions to breakfast, as he was about to depart from Paris to join his regiment. In the conviviality of the hour, he drank a little too much wine. He did not become intoxicated. He was not in any respect a dissappated man. His character was lofty and noble. But in that joyous hour he drank just one glass too much. In taking the parting glass he slightly lost the balance of his body and mind. Bidding adieu to his companions, he entered his carriage; but for that one glass of wine he would have kept his seat. He leaped from his carriage; but for that one glass of wine he would have alighted on his feet. His head struck the pavement. Senseless and bleeding, he was taken into a beer shop near by and died. That extra glass of wine overthrew the Orleans dynasty, confiscated their property of $100,000-000, and sent the whole family into ex- tant, called the National Woman's Temperance Union, was formed just ten years ago, at Chatauqua, in the State of New York. During the ten years of its existence, it has been spreading until now it has become truly national, having branches in all the states and territories of the Union. Mrs. Leavitt has furnished us with a small "Annual Leaflet" for 1884, showing what are the plans of their work. It appears that the organization, has six departments: 1.

It does seem somewhat strange, that the captious, Critical and conservative are, for the time being, silent, and quite disposed to allow these ladies to do all the good in their power, with the blessing of God and the co-operation of all the good people of our city. The idea that a woman may speak in public, upon the subject of religion, temperance, or any other theme, is now generally conceded, thus showing the wonderful advance which has been made in public sentiment during the past few years. It surely was not so a few years ago. The two ladies now in Honolulu, are doing a good work and we hope a greater good is still in store, for all who may come under their influence. If they can reform the intemperate and establish the temperate, and lead the sinner to " break off his sins by righteousness," then let us give them our hearty, earnest, cordial and unqualified support. : . �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, 1884. 94 MARJ INE OURNAL.

Some members of the Bethel Church and congregation having furnished the pastor's house with furniture and other conveniences for house-keeping, he invited his parishioners to gather at his residence. The gathing was quite large and the evening passed off most pleasantly. Dr. Damon and wife were present. The Rev. Mr. Oggel and wife welcomed their guests most cordially. Both pastor and people are to # be congratulated in view of the pleasant and agreeable harmony existing between pastor and the people of the parish. Homicide. —We reserve all conments upon the recent sad instance of homicide which occurred during the past month in Honolulu. This however we will add, that our laws respecting the carrying of concealed weapons should be strictly enforced. The recent news from San Francisco, is enough to arouse a wholesome public indignation against the unlawful and criminal conduct of going armed about the street.

This) by large and appreciative audiences.* The lectures on Monday and Tuesday evening at the Y. M. C. A. Hall, respectively on temperance, from the medical aspect, and, does Prohibition prohibit ?' were characterized by familiarity with these themes on the part of the speaker and received with much gratification by those in attendance. We are informed that a considerable number have signed the pledge. Mrs. Leavitt will give three more addresses 'on Temperance on the evenings of the 3rd, 4th and sth of December, which we trust will be largely attended and be productive of the best results. * The address to the union audience at Fort Street. Church, on Lord's day evening on the theme : The government shall be upon his sh.ulders," was able and earnest and must have had a beneficent efiect on the large congregation present. " LECTURE TO YOUNG MEN. On Friday evening, Nov. 28th, Mrs. Leavitt, the temperance lecturer, gave an address at the Y. M. C. A. Hall to young men. Mr. B. F. Dillingham presided. Mrs. Leavitt said " High : position means high moral worth. Great moral worth and position is holiness of heart and integrity of life. We shall have well grounded fears for young men if their eyes are to be blinded by things near and tangible and they shall forget, that as Lowell says, heaven and God can be had for the asking. Young men are the hope of the future only in proportion as they shall develop the moral nature. Physical culture is necessary; we must take care of these bodies God has given us, and they must be trained. But the .mere athlete is coming to the front too fast; we have no need of athletes without moral principle. We must not by too much eating and drinking become dyspeptics: nor should young people through dancing into the late night hour wear out the system early in life. We should not put too high a value on intellectual power. It is a worthy thing to develop the powers of the mind. But the best and highest thing of character. "If the country," he said, will pay my expenses, it is all I can receive." What grander sight can you imagine, than to see him in the retirement of the forest, pleading with God for the deliverance of his country ? Whatever may be your abilities or attainments, remember ever, that rectitude of character and above all the knowledge and love of God are the things that are best. You may not become great or renowned according to human ideas, but bear in mind that the love of God in the heart is the thing supreme Temperance being more particu larly my theme, I will use the testimony of Dr. Guthrie of Scotland as my text. " He said : i, My health has been better since leaving off moderate drinking. John Wesley gives the same testimony. No English life insurance company will at this day insure the lives of drinking men. 2, My head is clearer. A famous surgeon said whenever he had a critical case he must have every faculty at its keenest. For physicians, literary men and poets it is best at all times to let drink alone. Speaking of poets, look at Bums, Byron and Edgar A. Poe, all cut offbefore they were 37 years, through drink, while Bryant, Longfellow and Whittier, who led clean lives, have done all their best work after being fifty; and their work is much better. We should learn to work later in life. The keenest pleasure we can have is in work. Our Lord said, "My father worketh hitherto and I work." It is Godlike to work. 3, My heart is happier. So will you young men, have a lighter heart and be far happier in keeping away from the cup that inebriates. 4, My purse is heavier. Work rather for yourself than for the saloon-keeper. We do not want to be slaves, and yet young men will make slaves of themselves. Do not spend for strong drink the house that may some day be your own and give you a Be warned by the degrading and debasing influences of strong drink. Young men, leave it alone! Come one and all to the foot oi the cross, and accept Christ as your savior and example; Jesus Christ, the noblest and grandest figure in history." I'he lecture abounded in beautiful and apt illustrations, which we have not space to reproduce, and was listened to with riveted attention to toe close. MR.C. S. MASON. Editor of Y. M. C. A. Department : The following lines were received by the undersigned per last mail from R. C. Morse., president of the Interna tional committee Y. M. C. Association. "In regard to Mr. C. S. Mason, the general secretary of the Honolulu Y.M. C. A. let me say, that in the light of even this partial investigation we have certainly every reason to regret the unrighteous haste of the Gloucester people; it is certainly a case of persecution.* Yours very truly, J.

A Happy Household.—Last Friday was the 25th anniversary of the day on which Mr. J. O. Carter gave hostages to fortune and was also the birthday of Miss Mary Carter. Many friends of the silver bride and groom testified their appreciation in a manner that was no less substantial than graceful. Miss Mary Carter was the recipient of several pretty testimonials of friendly esteem and the household as an entity was the congratulated of a .circle of friends whose radius igniternational.—Morning — Guide. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
