NEW YEAR—1857. to my post, " Fixedmove ou." meanwhile the rolling years Years begin and end ; volume after volume of The Friend is commenced and closed. Ere we seem to be aware of it, a New Year calls upon us to say a few words to our readers, on ship and. shore. Most cordially we wish you a Happy New Year. We now enter upon editorial labors connected with the XlVth volume of The Friend. Perhaps some of our readers may be ready to ask, "Do you still intend advocating the same old-fashioned doctrine of total abstinence ?" We reply, most unquestionably this is our intention, for " honesty is the best policy," and we are most honestly of opinion, that the use of intoxicating liquors is most injurious to the bodies, minds and souls of our fellow-men. Every year's observation strengthens our conviction of the truth of this position. Advancing years may have somewhat cooled the ardor of youth and contact with the world tempered and softened the positive tone which might once have characterized the statement of our views. We see, however, no reason for retiring one iota from the position which we started with many years ago. The only safe principle is " touch not, taste not, handle not." Life seems to us too valuable to be thrown away. As in former years, our aim will be to furnish our readers with useful and entertaining reading, upon a variety of subjects, especially those relating to the welfare and improvement of seamen. It affords us encouragement when we can see one or more of them acting up to their high responsibilities, as KOlo »mts, M. 14. JANUARY 1, 1857. amount of good reading matter; for this purpose we labor to sustain the Home and the Bothel. Judicious efforts are not in vain. For many years and ages have seamen been treated as no class of men ought to be treated. They are suspicious of those who would do them good, and confiding to those who would do them evil. A revolution is not to be brought about in a day, year or generation; but it must and will be eventually accomplished. We are hopeful upon this subject. The abundance of the sea shall yet be converted unto God. So far as our narrow limits will allow, it will still be our aim, from month to month, to keep our readers informed upon the passing .events at home and abroad. We shall try to advocate truth, oppose error, and endeavor to convince our readers that Godliness, with contentment, is great gain. As ever, then, we remain, readers and patrons, your humble servant. ful and joyous. The person must have been a cynic and misanthrope not to have allowed his soul to indulge that morning in grateful expressions of thanksgiving and praise. The services on the occasion referred to, were opened by the Seaman's Chaplain; next followed the sermon, by the Ry. Mr. Turner; and the services were closed by the Rev. Mr. Strong. The sermon of Mr. Turner was an exceedingly appropriate and well-written discourse. The text was taken from the first Epistle of John, 4 16—"God is love." Alter speaking of the principle of genuine love, as an elevated and dignified affection—the sum total of all pure religion, the speaker proceeded to show how God had manifested His love towards the Universe. First, it was seen in our creation; secondly, in our preservation ; thirdly, in the redemption of the treatment of world by Jesus Christ. the subject afforded an excellent opportunity to refer to topics, themes and subjects, naturally associated with Christmas and Thanks- : giving. In other respects we believe the day passed off in a manner not unbecoming the occasion. A Wife's Hint.—“My wife wrote me,” says an officer of a ship, "to be sure and send her The Friend." She had received the paper for 1855, but the subscription ru* ning out, she was anxious to continue receiving it; for from its columns she could CHRISTMAS AND THANKSGIVING. perhaps learn the safety of the ship on board The union of these festival days appears of which her husband was serving.

Johnny Hodges, of Sargent's Temperance Tales, is n..i the only one who has made ihis exclamation and inquiry. Johnny, as I hope every seaman Knows, [or every seaman should Ikj familiar with those take. I say, Johnny Hodges had his own trials in a miserable drunken wife, ami had amplereason to speak of the us.' of intoxicating drinks as a bitter 'curse, and t.. deain that a speedy en.l might hi pat to intemperance. But there are v than that of Hodge's. Let us look at some of mem. The poof sickly wife, with her starring sues her once temperate, industrious, affectionate husband, staggering home from a debauch, when he has consumed th.' only means of providing (uel ami bread for those whom he had sworn to feed, clothe and cherish. His idiotic laugh alternating with insane rage, causes the rags which cover his children's nakedness, to shake through fear, and they cling to their mother for protection. The wretched woman, as she looks hark on the past an.l anticipates the future, .-ri.-s out in anguish of spirit, "What a curse.' Is there no proapeet of putting an en.l to in- . temperance '." The widowed mother, whose poverty on the oni' hand, and whose desire lor her -no's future welfare on.the other, wrung from her a reluctant consent that ho should tempt ill" danger of the sea, on bidding him adieu, beseeches him to tear God, reverence his name and revere his Sabbaths; to beware of tin.' intoxicating nip, of the house ni tin- strange tho pin woman, .and of the and vulgar; to read daily a portion of the | blessed BiUe, and make a conscience of secret prayer. She follows him with her prayen and In'st wishes, and waits with anxiety to hear of his welfare; waits with emotions which only 11 mother, and a widowed mother, can know. Months roll away. She hears, at length, that her son had safely weathered tin' stormy Cape had been delivered from many a tiniiand had entered the calm waters of the Pacific. Again she hears that ho has escaped contact with the Northern ice-berg when there seemed but a step betwi en him and death. She bean,still again, (hat the, 1 ship which hoars this solace of her heart, now anchored near one of the sunny isles of •the Pacific, is soon to leave on its homewardbound passage, to cruise along a while, then' press all sail for its original port. Her beats with ioyoiis emotions when, as she wakes I'lom pleasant dreams in which found herself, embraces her long-absent boy. But here comae another letter, in a strange hand, anil with such a seal! With a trouibling hand she opens it, and Puds it addresswho, she ed to "Hie mother of learns on reading further, sleeps his last deep She on the Island, near the port of gathers from the letter that her poor boy, in racing his horse with some jovial companions, was thrown to the ground with such violence as to cause his death, in a few hours, and as the truth flashes across her mind, that herchild fills a drunkard's grave, the brokenhearted mother exclaims, " What a curse it ; heart■ . 7 THE FRIEND.

Enough to meet this has been received from the children and youth; and the excess, and what is yet on the way to the treasury from the different pajrts of our great country, will be reserved for future repairs, and for the cost of insuring the vessel. The property is held by the Board. It, falls in, however, with the plan of operations in the North Pacific, to place the vessel under the gaum] direction arid control of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, composed mainly of those ministers and laymen residing at the Islands, who once composed the Sandwich Islands Mission. To the disposal of that Society will be committed, also, the funds which the Board, and the Bible and Trait Societies of this country, shall devote to the support and culture of the gospel institutions at those islands;. and it will have, moreover, the entire care of furnishing the native Hawaiian laborers in the Micronesia mission, and of providing for their support. Indeed, since a primary reason for commencing the Micronesia mission was to provide a healthful reactionary influence for the Hawaiian churches, so that they may tl*e sooner reach the point of self-support, it will be the earnest endeavor of the Prudential Committee to make the greatest possible use of all the facilities for prosecuting the missionary work in the Pacific, which the community now forming at the Sandwich Islands can afford. : jy We are happy to learn that several hundred shares (at l-'J cents each) have been taken among foreign children in Honolulu, in the Morning Star.

The following paragraphs are copied from a new book lately published in Philadelphia, and entitled lift in India. This is a book full of graphic, and kfc-likc sketches of scenes, manners and customs &3 they appear in Madras and the vicinity ; but it is not to the book itself thnt we would now call the reader's attention. The first fifty pages of the book relate to the voyage of a merchant-ship from Boston to Madras, having on board n company of American missionaries. This voyage, so far as we gather, was made about the year 1850. As most of our readers arc familiar with sea>diFe, we shall merely copy such extracts as relate to a most happy change which took place in the life and conduct of the shipmaster, whose namo we are unable to learn, while the name of his ship is alike withheld from the reader's knowledge : was so violent, that it was'as much as we could do to hold on to the rail and watch the waves; but in ordinary weather we found a variety of occupations with which pleasantly and profitably to fill up our time. After our morning devotions and breakfast, we turned to our grammers to make a beginning in the languages in which we were to t ach the Hindus. The afternoons were spent in reading, writing, singingand walking; then came ten, evening prayers in our cabin, and a closing walk on deck. " Vet we had one great trial: our voyage went on; days not bo to be recalled were passing; we fell that we were fellow-trav< Hers to eternity with all on board but we wt re permitted to do nothing for the teamen.

Permission for only one of our number to organize a Bible class for them waa refused by the captain, on the ground that it would produce insubordination. ••As we had every reason to belii i ■ that, from'the captain to the cook, not one of the ship's crew feared God, we could not but grieve that the door was thus shut against us. Yet we submitted to the authority of tincommander of the vcaacl. One- door he could not .close against us. for 'the eyes of the Lord are upon the righteous; his ears ar" open to their cry.'

It was in iis neighborhood also that there existed the famous city of refuge, which afforded an inviolable lanctuary t.. the guilty fugitive who was so favored as to gain its precincts. To it the man-slayer who had broken a tabu, tho thief, and even the murderer, Bed from his incensed pursuers and was secure. Its gates were always open to admit tlte refugee. The celebrity which this port acquired by the visit and murder of Oast Cook, and its being laid down accurately on the early charts, caused it to he visited tnorebj warships and whalemen than the other ports of the group. The village is located on the son-shoreand coin;.rises perhaps a hundred houses. In tlie (arming districts, two to four miles from the village .piite a large number of foreigners reside, some engaged in raising coffee. A number of .young orange groves are under cultivation, which promise in a few years to yield large crops. The best anchorage for ships visiting the bay, is on the north side under a bluff between six and seven hundred feet high, one-third of a mile from the sand bench on the east side, and one-quarter of a mile from the bluff en the north side of thebay. The water is from sixteen to twenty fathoms deep. A ship can lie (hen at all times in peiffeul safety troa wind or see. The north-west part of tlie bay is about forty fathoms deep. Outside of this tlie water is shoaler, being twenty-two fathoms,leaving a basin within whioh fifty or sixty ships can be aooommodatsd here at onetime.

The followiiu: articles can he obtained at this port: wood, sweet ixitabies, pumpkins,squashes, melons, cabbages, oranges, from September to February, beef, best quality, mutton, goats, turkeys and fowls, as well as pigs in any quantity ; also, coffee, best quality, besides many kinds of fruits, such as bananas, guavas, papains, cocoanuts, &C. From eighteen to twenty ships usually touch here in the course of a year. The weather is generally good, there arc usually not more than s'u or eight days out of the year that can bo called bad. This port is considered by masters of ships as one of the best places to do work in in the Hawaiian Islands, excepting only Honolulu. BnH Wm * ' ' — ' After a residence there of eleven years ("apt.

There is a regular land and Ma breeze, the latter OOUimencing about B A. M., mid lasting until sundown ; the land breeze commences about 8 o'clock I*. 11., and lasts until S o'clock A. M. It Is strongest about day-light, giving ships a ohanos t. get under way after day-light and get a good oiling Before tlie wind changes.

KAWAUIAF, (Pronounced generally Tow-a-high ,) is I small village on the buy of the same name on the western share of Hawaii, with scarcely an object to attract a resident. Excepting a few cocoanut trees which line the water's edge, there is hardly any foliage to be seen in the village or on the hills back of it. It derives its iui|w>rtancc from being the port of the rich and extensive grexing ii|.lands of Waimea —one of tlie finest agricultural districtsi of the islands, which has not yet developed its full resources. Just back of tlie town there exist the ruins of one of those largo heiau's or idol temples. It is the most perfect one now existing on the islands. It was this temple which the young Kaiuehameha 11. on the death of his father, went up to consecrate, accompanied by his priests ; and it was here, in the midst of his revelry that he brought the tabu system to an end. Kawaihae is situated on.the north-east side of (he bay in N. lat 20° 04', and W. long. 156° b'Z. The Browns, Robinsons, and Thompsons in London, than any Other City, exeopting Paris and the Chinese cities, has inhabitants; that there are more servants in London than residents in Vienna; that the shoemakers, publicans. ami dealers in meat and vegetable in London, are more than the population of Berlin, and that marly as many as the of city New there are more last-makers in London than Frankfort has citizens, and more clerks than Boston has inhabitants. An Example.—A member of one of the lirst and wealthiest families in Buenos Ayres, having challenged another man to fight a duel, has been sentenced to three years banishment from the province for the crime, anfi will then only lie allowed to return upon giving bonds of $100,000 not to renew the challenge.

The "Old Bethel" made "New." CONTENTS Far March 31, 18ST. ---------- ------------------------------------- -------- THE HONOLULU, MARCH 31, 1857. LIFE ON KAUAI. Having spent a few days in riding and rambling on the Island of Kauai, there are two or three features in the state of things there which w.e deem not unworthy of notice. The first and most prominent feature, is this, that on Kauai, the people work. This is true of both foreigners and natives. Having visited, in former years, every part of the Sandwich Islands, we feel prepared to speak with confidence upon this subject, that no where have we witnessed such a proportion of the inhabitants actively engaged in manual labors as we have seen upon this island. We landed at Nawiliwili, and saw busy life upon the Lihue Plantation. The plow and hoe were moving with the dawn of the morning. At Koloa, we witnessed the ingathering of the cane crop. On the latter plantation can be mustered one hundred yoke of oxen. The proprietors of the Koloa Plantation not only rely upon the plow to prepare the soil, but they have literally plunged into a swamp or marsh of a thousand acres, and there have undertaken a system of drainage and cultivation, which coald never have been made successful without an immense amount of real, hard work with the hands. No animal can cross the marsh, but man can ! We saw a heavy crop of cane being taken from a portion of this marsh, a temporary railroad being laid down, (between the stacks of cane) and extending one-fourth of a mile towards the center of the marsh. Subsequently to watch the long train of " four-ox" carts, heavily loaded with cane and trudging ofT to the mill, was a most animating sight. At Hanalei. the people work, and work . hands. We visited also Mr. Mcßride and Mr. Charman's dairy establishment. We took a peep too at the butchering establishment of Mr. Allen, where beef, hides, and tallow were in course of preparation for the market. We rode over fields where Grubens and Archer tried tobacco, but now are raising Indian corn. Wherever we went we saw more of work, industry and thrift than we have witnessed elsewhere. In the vicinity of Koloa the natives are busy cultivating sweet potatoes. They are extensively employed on all the plantations which we have referred to, as coolie labor appears to be a failure. One enterprise on the island is specially worthy of notice. We refer to the effort of introducing a stream of water from the mountains to flow over the Lihue plantation. A trench ten miles long (about two-and-ahalffeet wide, and the same deep) has been dug. It has been an immense work; and whether it answers the purpose or not, it shows what labor will accomplish. This summer will test the experiment, and most confidently we hope the enterprise may succeed. Having written so much about the working habits of the Kauaians, no space remains to refer to their schools, their churches, their " literary club," or their generous hospitality. We hope that the good people on that island may not infer that we did not appreciate their kindness and hospitality because we merely pass it over with this passing allusion. While superintending some repairs upon the Bethel, in the early part of February-, we were suddenly compelled to leave for a neighbouring island on account of ill-health. On our return with health re-established, it was with no ordinary feelings of gratitude that we found our congregation worshipping in a buildingre-moddled, and very much improved. The ladies and children came to our aid, rendering most timely assistance. We would main this opportunity to acknowledge the presentation, by the ladies, of a communion table, chairs, sofa and carpet for the pulpit, and a curtain from the children of the Sabbath School. These expressions of kindly sympathy and generous feeling rendered, while we were absent, are doubly prized. C7* The following is a statement of the expenses attending the repairs and alterations of the Bethel : ------------------- Feb. 7—To paid Mr. Vincent's bill for lumber and labor $375 00 •• 10—To paid Mr. Thomas' bill for mason 46 00 work •• 18—To paid Mr. Oilliland's bill for 18160 paints and labor 17 60 •« ]8—To paid for repairing Scraphino 62 80 18—Ito-corcring cushions, &o., &c, '28 26 Sundry expenses ------- " |M9 M We hope to raise a portion of this sum from the seafaring community. Our appeal is also to the public interested in the support of the Bethel. We would state that no subscription paper will be circulated—whatever any person is inclined to forward as a freewill offering will be gratefully received. We have already received - From a friend, " " " " a lady, Dr. Mott Smith, A friend, A sailor. - 1 from Marquesas.—Letters of interest and importance have recently been News received from the Marquesan missionaries. We would acknowledge letters from Mr. Bicknell, and the Rev. Mr. Kekela, as late as Jan. 14, but we believe that those of even later dates have been received.

BARBAROUS MURDER OF REV. D. H. WHEELER. We are pained by the recent intelligence of the shocking murder of the Rev. D. H. Wheeler, formerly Chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society, at Valparaiso, Chili; afterwards for two years at Aspinwall New Grenada ; and, at the time of his death, an Agent of the American Bible Society in Nicaragua. He was sent out, in July last, for the purpose of circulating the Scriptures in that country. Notwithstanding the disturbed and dangerous state of alliiirs there, in consequence of Walker's operations, he had prosecuted his work with energy and sun-ess ; had made the acquaintance of Padre Vigil, Grand-Vicar of the State of Nicaragua, and with his concurrence, and even recommendation of the books to his people, had somewhat extensively circulated the Word of God among a people eager to receive it. Near the middle of Octolior the army opposed to Walker began to approach Grenada, when he marched out with his hordes of followers to Massaya, some twenty miles distant met the enemy, and in a severe battle muted them. While he was absent, and left defenceless, a fragment of the enemy's army, with a number of outlaws who had united with it, rushed into the city plundering everywhere as they went. They came to the house of Mr. Lawless, a merchant long resident there, with whom Mr. Wheeler, Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson, and a young daughter resided. With great violence they seized the three men, carried them to the rest of their party in another part of the city, and in cold blood shot them all, for no other reason, probably, than because they were supposed to belong to the hated race of filibusters. Soon Walker's hordes hurried back to Grenada, when the enemy fled. The three friends—Messrs. Wheeler and Ferguson, and Mr. Lawless, whom they had left behind, and who had taken no part in the war, were soon found pierced through with balls and bayonets. Great, indeed, was the grief felt, for they were all highly beloved. The event is one of deep sorrow. Mr. Wheeler was a rare specimen of Christian self-denial, and disinterested devotion to his Maker's cause, never avoiding fields of danger, plain and out-spoken in his rebukes of sin, sometimes thereby making enemies of the wordly-wise. His death is a great loss to the Church, she has few more devoted sons. He was a native of Connecticut, but for some years a resident in the State of Indiana, where his bereaved family, a widow and several children, now reside. He was a preacher in the Methodist connection. We learn with pleasure that the Board of Managers of the American Bible Society, on hearing of his untimely death, passed nuitnble Morning Star. —At a late meeting of the resolutions of respect for his memory, and voted an appropriation to his family thus Directors of the Hawaiian Missionary Socisuddenly deprived of their head and means ety, it was unanimously decided, that on tho of support.

Roofing. —All housekeepers and house owners, at the Sandwich Islands, know how immensely important it is to have tight and lasting roofs. It is a subject deserving of special consideration, observation and experiment. A good shingle roof, if it lasts ten or fifteen years, is considered quite durable. It is important to enquire whether painting roofs in this climate is of any use. Some maintain that it docs no good, and others hold the opposite opinion. The following fact may be worth considering. The missionhouse, occupied hy Mrs. Whitney, at, Waimea, Kauai, was built in 18:17 ST 8, or aliout 30 years ago. The roof has never been reut'iveil. The shingles were good American pine, and shaved. Mr. Whitney painted the roof, when new, with a preparation ma.le acmrrflrrg to the following recipe "One measure of tint1-and, two nioasui-es of wood ashes well sifted, three of slacked lime ground up "in oil.

There is very safe anchorage for ships on the west side; thero Capt. Cook anchored. The soundings art- from 10 to III) fathoms; but I should consider 20 fathoms to be the best position. This would be opposite the northern entrance of the lagoon, into which there are two passages, having Sandy Island in tho center. The southern passage however is considerably tho largest, aud the water is much tleeper than by the northern entrance. The lagoon is tilled with numerous shoals or shallow patches, and finally terminates in small lakes surrounded with sand. Some of these have become nearly dry, anil left quantities of salt in them. I found others, where the water was much Salter than any sea water. In some, tho water rises and falls with the tide outside; from which it is manilest it must ooze in and out frtnn under the land. In others, we found quantities of fish resembling the herring, but somewhat larger. There arc many sea-birds of different kinds inhabiting the island. Their eggs afforded me many a delicious repast; antl are so very plentiful, that I have seen 2,000 laying on the grountl within the space of one square acre. The land is extremely low, and composed entirely of sand with only a few bushes and small trees. In my opinion, it could not be seen from a ship more than 10 miles. The N. X side of the island tbrins a very deep bay; and it is quite necessary that all masters of vessels who intend to touch there should •be aware that such a bay exists. It was owing in a great measure to the want of this information, that I was so unfortunate as to be wrecked on its coast in Oct. 1830. Jly no means is it advisable to get embayed at this place, as there is generally a current setting straight into the hay: which, although not strong, is " " " " 21 TIE PI lEN ft, KllC I, 185 7. suflicient to drive any vessel on shore. It is subject also to almost constant heavy surfs, being completely exposed to tht swell from the N. E. trade winds.. During my residence, I have boon for six weeks waiting to go out in nty boat; anil oven when I did venture, it was at a great risk, as I seldom passed through the surf without being turned over. The winds commonly blow from I'.. N. K. to K. S. X.; but during the rainy season, we frequently had squalls from N. and N. N. W. I observisl the wet weather to oommonoe ".Unit the middle of February and it continued nearly without intermission to the time we finally left the island on the 2.1.1 .May last. With respect to currents. I will only remark, that close to the shore they vary; for on the south side of the island, I have sometimes known it to set strong to the eastward. Approach within one mile, and there is usually I think little or none either way. There is always however more or less to tho westward at I or 6 miles distance from shore; and also a strong easterly current setting ilowu upon the east point of tin- land. "On the western parts there arc some scattering groups of ciK-oanut trees; the whole number of trees may be aliout -Jllili). On the west point, or rather on the paint which forms tho southern entrance to the lagoon, there is a grove of these trees having the names of several whale ships carved upon them. These ships must from timo to time have sent their boats on whore to procure cocoaiiuts. I could not find any fresh water, though we dug in several places, and in one instance to the depth of 'J feet; but invariably came to salt water. Had we not succeeded in saving a quantity from the wreck. We must all have perished. For tho first four months of our residence we hail only two small showers; after that the rain fell in great abundance." " " India.—The Protestant missionaries of Bengal, appealing to the missionary societies in Europe and America to send more missionaries to India, state that the Presidency of Bengal, with '15,1(10,000 inhabitants, has 103 missionaries; Agra, with 30,250,000, has 60 missionaries; Bombay, with 10,000,000, has 33 missionaries; Madras, with 27,280,000, has IS2 missionaries; the Punjab, Scinde, and Niigpore, with 11,950,000, have 8 missionaries; while Hyderabad, Oude, and other states, with 42,136,000 inhabitants, have not missionary: total population 166,776,000, with 356 missionaries. In the three chief it presidency towns, Calcutta, Madras, and Bom- bay, there are 70 missionaries; while in many districts there is only one missionary for a million and a half. The northern and eastern districts of Bengal contain millions of people who never hear the gospel; and there are other states, with fifty millions more, equally destitute. Singular Circumstance—Last Tuesday both wires of the House Telegraph Line to New York were broken at the same time, between this city and Providence, yet the line worked well, and their business was transmitted without interruption. The lower wire broke first, and one end crossed the upper wire. Shortly after the upper wire was broken, and the ends crossed the lower wire, thus making a good circuit, though both wires were broken. Such a combination seldom occurs, and is worthy of note as a curiosity in telegraphing.—Boston Times.

The shape of the harbor ami clntnnel eontriitos. Its geographical position in relation to is such as to offer as much wharf facilities as any the old and t:cw world tends unavoidably to make it harbor of its area in the world. The reefs on both uch. sides are easy of improvemeutandwith extent enough The population of Honolulu is somewhat fltictuattg ; during the fall and winter season it is as high of themselves for a first class city. There are five good wharves, at which vessels of s 10,000 or 12,000, caused by the influx of seamen 1600tons can discharge or take in cargo. These and also natives from the other islands of the group. wharves furnish about six hundred feet wharfage At other seasons of the year il may be as low as 7,0t)0 front. The government are now constructing new to 8,000. There are four ship chandlery stores, about piers, and it is probable that, before the end of twenty importing houses, anil from fifty to sixty retwelve months, one thousand feet of additional whar- tail stores, twelve hotels, nine or ten physicians, and five printing offices. There are six church edifices, fage will be ready for use. This port is so easy of access, that any sailing some of them very substantial specimens of archidirections for it are almost superfluous. The trade tecture, and capable of accommodating each from arc numerous, wind blows over the islands about nine months of the 300 to 8,000 persons. The schools year, from March to November ; during the winter both for the .native and foreign children, antl it is months the South and West winds prevail, and bring generally thought, by those most capable of judging, in Honolulu for a thorusually a great quantity of rain. These months arc that the advantages afforded to generally stormy, and during them it is unsafe to anch- ough education are equal those of New England, or in the roads. Most of the marine disasters occur- excepting only her universities and colleges. Aside from these elements of material prosperity, ring about the islands are in December, January and February. When the trade wind prevails vessels there are gathered together in Honolulu many facilishould approach the islands and run along to the ties for real intellectual and social enjoympnts ; also inirth'ard of Hawaii, Maui and Molokai, distant many other diversions, said to be enjoyments, which from the land say fifteen or twenty miles, and are not so intellectual. We have a college of physi<>,reu,b ,b, channel between Molokai and cian., an incorporated college for student*, delight- ' foMnt ftilly located at Punahou ; our postal arrangements with the old world are complete antl correspondence is carried on with all parts of the world regularly and without confusion. There are three weekly and two monthly journals printed here iv both the Hawaiian anil English languages. They are conducted with more or less ability, with a high or low moral tone, according to the editorial caliber and the intellectual and moral wants of their respective supporters. We avoid drawing comparisons between this harbor and any of the other harbors of the Hawaiian group. Commerce, with its true instincts, always alights upon the best and converts it into a metropolis. This harbor is an exemplification of the assertion not to be disputed by those interested in the prosperity of the kingdom, and we think it would be well for till to lend their good will to make it the center of that wiilecoinmercefor which it is so favorably situated antl thereby benefit themselves in a wise way. Before closing our remarks on the harbor of Honolulu, perhaps we ought to allude to its wants. A i.ii.iiT-iinisK ought to be erected forthwith at tho entrance of the harbor. The necessities of our commerce demand this improvement. The fearful disasters and losses near and al the mouth of the harbor for the hist few years, and all for the want of one, call loudly f.n-'sii.h a safeguard. Aside from tho losses which it would be the means of preventing, it would lie the greatest :ic.-iiiniii...l iti.m to vessels in enabling them to cotne in and go out at all times, night or day. Thus saving " time, which is money," or will lie as the " star of empire" approaches our meridian, We believe a proper light-house might be built by private parties, and that ships visiting this poti would consent willingly to be taxed here as well as elsewhere, for this kind of insurance of sal'eguardy and that the amount of tax so levied would be atari; or quite sufficient to Indues private parties to erect one without delay. But a Want much move felt is a ni'irinc railway f..r repairing ship. Wt art surprised that no attempt to .-.instruct a railway has ever been carriedout here. The statistics which we publish to-day show the arrival of a large number of vessels, one-fifth of which .■..nie int.. titis port for repairs. Tlie present mode of repairing vetntls is very expensive, while the repairing of the hull of large sli-ainers at. this port is almost impracticable tit present. W*t are ttill 111 that the Cost of a substantial railway for the present wants of our commerce will not exceed $26,000. And it would be a fortune to tiny person or company who undertook it with practical knowledge of the subject. But the length to which our article has run compels as to stop hare We slull however recur to the subject and furnish some figures to show the necessity of a railway.— Pacific Commercial Jl,lcertiser. The End of a Fuddling Club.—A celebrated drinking club, in the west of Scotland, which had formerly great influence at the local flection, is broken up. Two of its members were sent to a lunatic assylum ; one jumped from a window and killed himself; one walked or fell into the» water at night iintl wits drowned; one was found dead in a public-house ; one died of delirium tremens ; upwards of ten became bankrupt; four died ere they had lived half their days. One who w.ts a bailie when connected with the club, is at present keeping a low public-house. Such arc a few facts well known to those living in the locality.—Liverpool Albion. Sensible and Conclusive.—A prominent Virginian having recently been challenged to fight a duel, gave the following among other reasons for declining: "Your life could not be the value of a pin's point to me, and I am sure I should derive no comfort from making your wife a widow, or your children father- less; therefore I have no desire to take it: while my own life is not only of value to me, but indispensible to the happiness and support of my family, and I hope to make it useful to my country;. therefore I am not disposed to place it at your disposal." �23 TDK FRIEND. .11 ART 11.

"Charlie Backus" and the Missionaries. Everybody knows "Charlie Backus," the inimitable delineator of Shakesperean characters—Charlie went to California, and there was suddenly seized with a desire to "go west." A theatrical company was just embarking for the Sandwich Islands, who kindly " took Charlie in" as a sort of " supe" to the concern, but, the first night of the opening proved Charlie was the star" of the troupe. He could so well imitate" Forrest, Booth, and other eminent actors, that the American population of Honolulu filled the theatre to see this counterpart to their old favorites. Among thisclass of "lovers of the drama" were the Missionaries, who nocked to the principal seats night after night at three dollars a ticket. Charlie felt honored and "spread himself." He drew tremendously and drew upon the Missionary Fund so largely, that he was enabled not only to return to California a "star" but returned to his country flush with funds. We saw him at the St. Nicholas in this city a few days since, and he assured us that the identical contributions collected in the several churches in aid of the " Sandwich Islands Mission" he had there and then in his pocket; and he could vouch that a portion at least of this pious fund had been properly appropriated. The above paragraph we copy from the 4th, in Cleaveland, Ohio. " Everybody knows" that the Sandwich Islands Missionaries have been unjustly charged with much that is wrong— hut this is really a new charge. If we supposed the editors publishing this charge really believed what they wrote, or supposed their readers would credit such ridiculous charges, then we would undertake their refutation. Although we shall make no attempt to refute the jocose assertions, still a passing remark may not be out of place : 1. The editors of that paper seem really to enjoy a thrust at the Sandwich Islands missionaries. We have not forgotten their re- Plain*-Dealer, published Feb. view of "Typee," and their publication of certain private letters written from Honolulu —neither have we forgotten how the ofliciousness of those editors in publishing said letters, involved their correspondent in a series of partial denials, which were anything hut pleasant and agreeable. 2. The editors of the Plain-Dealer seem to be highly sensitive upon the subject of missionary funds, and the Banner of their appropriation. We would suggest that those editors, and persons sympathizing with them send out a delegation for the purpose of inquiring into the matter. On their arrival in Honolulu we assure them that every facility shall be extended to them for prosecuting their inquiries. They shall have the result of our fifteen years observation. We will visit with them the native schools and churches, and furnish correct statistical information. For once, let us have a correct report! 3. In mentioning the many distinguished characteristics of Mr. " Charlie Backus," we think it should have been stated that, as an imitator of negroes he particularly excelled, if any reliance can he placed upon the placards about the streets. If ever Mr. Backus acquired a large amount of funds as an imitator of African minstrelsy, we think that he deserved the reward, for it must have been exceedingly unpleasant and disagreeable for a gentlemen of Mr. Backus' talents to have "corked" his face night after night, and appeared in the capacity of a negro, before either "a company of missionaries," or of gentlemen and ladies in any part of the world. How " a man that is a man," can stoop to such mimicry is quite unaccountable ! We fondly hope we may yet hear that Mr. Backus, the inimitable imitator of Shakspeare, Forrest, Booth, and other eminentactors, has been led to devote his talents to the cause of Him, "'who spake as never man spake," and who " went about doing good." .4. It seldom has been our fortune to meet any Cleaveland people in these ends of the earth, but strange as the coincidence may seem, it is no less true, that on the very same day that we took from the Post-office the newspaper containing the above extracts, a citizen of Cleaveland, lately an attache of the Circus, visited our study and desired a loan of money. Not being disinclined to assist a 25 \m M. v* stranger in friendless circumstances, we provided for him at the Sailors' Home, and by applying to the U. S. Consul, obtained for him a free passage to .San Francisco en route to Cleaveland. We hope he will report himself to the editors of the Plain-Dealer. 5. We would suggest that the editors of the Plain-Dealer send a copy of their paper of Feb. 4th, to London, to the conductor of the Westminster Review, for the writer of a labored article in a late number of that Review denouncing the whole missionary enterprise, has based his arguments and built up his theory, quoting some authorities not a whit more trustworthy than the charge that the Sandwich Islands Missionaries flocked to the theatre night after night at three dollars a ticket. 6. We thank the editors of the Plain-Dealer for their plain-dealing with missionaries, upon the supposition of their attending the theatre, and the very same censure will apply with equal force to all professing Christians here and elsewhere. It is no place for those who profess to have renounced the world. We know very well that some serious-minded people think it no harm to attend for once, or when some favorite star, like " Charlie Backus," makes his appearance ; but taking the opinion of the editors of the Plain-Dealer as the view of the world upon this subiet, it is quite manifest that the church-member ought never to venture within the precincts , of the theater. theatre was, from the very first, " The The favorite haunt of evil, though honest men, Borne very honest, wise and worthy men, Maintained it might be turned to good account ; And so perhaps it might, but never was. From first to last it was an evil place ; And now such things were acted there, as made The devils blush ; and from the neighborhood. Angels and holy men, trembling, retired." The natives of the Sandwich Islands have applied a name to the theatre which corresponds to the view entertained of the same by the English poet, whose lines we have just quoted. They have denominated the theatre Diabolo,"—house of the devil! " Hale But we are writing quite too long a chapter upon these rather playful remarks of the editors of the Plain-Dealer relating to his friend " Charlie Backus," but the truth is, we, editors, have no more right to tell the million what it not true, than we have to tell an untruth to Mr. John Smith. �26 THK FRIEND. APRIL. Us*,. IAN NCIDENT. During the last lew years it has been our privilege to have become acquainted with, at least, three persons who were once connected the theatre who have afforded most lible evidence of having met with that nge of mind spoken of by our Saviour in the third chapter of tin Qotfd of John. Some ten years ago, a young man connected with one of the theatres in I'hiladrlphiu, Incoming dissatisfied mill uneasy, sought repose for his troubled mind in the life of a sailor. He was mi Englishman by birth, and had received in early life a good education. Our Eh acquaintance commenced when he sought for books to beguile the wea/y hours of a life ;>t sea. He visited Honolulu aeven] times, and we had frequent opportunities of seeing and convening With him. On his return in autumn of 1847,(if we are nut mistaken) to our great surprise, we learned that an entire change hail taken place in all liis newt upon religious subjects. Among the books which had fallen into his handi waa one entitled Baxter's Call to the Umoonmrted. The reading of that admirable little book hadeffectually aroused his attention to seek tor the pearl of great price. Being a person whose thoughts would frequently assume a poericol form, he wrote a few lines entitled, " Fnrewfl! t" the north-west const" for it was off that coast that the ship in which he sailed had been cruising. From this rft'n. sion we copy the following lines ■ Farewell thuucolli Uml, wiiti thy in-uni: u.- ! Far, tar from tliy haMttti g - cherish the pleasing thought that, if still alive, he may lie traveling the " path of the just which shineih more and more unto the perfect day." Before patting, in 1847 or '48, he gave us another poetical scrap, containing the following seiit:ment, which might appropriately be addressed to a minister of the Gospel, who was inclined to ask who hath bettered our report?" " Flint not, but spank tn sinners hardtMird— 'toll tlieiii of atoning Wood— Slmw than bow they may In- pardoned, - I'hrottgu the glorious Lam>> ot tio>i. ** Unfurl the glorious Gospel hunnnr— IV;.it- tin: lilefiiiinr iths's display ; Live then in h faithful iniitiiior— l'oint tn Heaven, and hid the way." Another Incident; or, Conversion of Thorpe, the Actor. BY REV. G. B. C. CHEEVER. We copy the following paragraphl from a work of Cheever, entitled Lectttrmm the life, Genua and Insanity of Cowper. The period in English history, to which these passages refer, is about the year 17*'''-'. We are confident the following narrative respecting the conversion of a stage-actor will be read with interest. The instances are not rare, wherein persona who have commenced their career upon the stage have ended it in the pudpit: "The characteristics of this era of the Holy Spirit's power in England can not he better conveyed than by the relation of some of the new extraordinary cases of conversion through the preaching of Whitefield, Komaine, Wesley and others. One of the most singular was No more shall I ri de o'er tby billowy breest, that of .Mr. Thorpe, who afterward became Where the tierc* howling storm "it rorVd me to net ; an efli'Ctive minister of that Gospel which at Full weil-jileaseit 1 lean then and bid thee Farewell, And tiastenfar hence in the tropica t" dwell— first he ridiculed.

' ;i : ' conscience was aroused, as it sometimes is, suddenly and unexpectedly, and always will be when God sets our sins before us in the light of His countenance. The retribution in that passage he felt was for himself, and its terrors, glared upon him in array against his own soul, and out of that rapid and overwhelming conviction he preached. The truths of guilt, death, eternity, and the judgment to come, were never proclaimed in gloomier aspect, for there was no mixture of grace with then. Yet be frequently afterward declared that if ever in his life he preached by the assistance of the Spirit of Uod, it was at that time. The whole subject WM revealed before him, the necessity of repentance, the threatened perdition of the soul, the terrors of the second death ; and he preached to his companions, guilty,reprobate, and dying, as himself reprobate anil dying. His fervor and fire increased as he went on, sad the sympathetic gloom of his audience deepened the convictions on his own soul, and the sentences fell from his lips with such intense and burning imagery, and such point, pungency, ami power of language, that, as he afterward related, it seemed to him as if his own Iwiir would stand ere. t with terror at their awfulness. Ii was as a blast from the lake burning with fire ami brimstone. Yet no man interrupted him, for be felt and saw, from the solemnity of his manner, what an overwhelming impression there was upon him, and, though their astonishment deepened into angry and awful gloom beneath the lurid glare of bis addrjess, yet they sat spell-bound, listening and gazing at him, and when he descended from the table a profound silence reigned in the whole circle,and not one word concerning the wager was uttered. Thorpe instantly withdrew from the company without uttering a word, and, it is needless in say, never returned to mat society; but, after a season of the deepest distress and conflict, passed into the full light of the Gospel, and at length became a most successful preacher of its grace." STILL ANOTHER INCIDENT. BYENOLA. "Night had thrown her dark mantle over earth and sea. The heart of the great citywas stilled and scarcely a pulsation beat.— The brilliantly lighted halls were now enshrouded in gloom, and the sound of revelry and mirth had ceased. All seemed wrapt in silent slumlier save one—'the eye thatslumbereth not.' " The night wore on. The grey dawn in the east began to fade the bright stars from night's quiet sky, and the purple tints of morning tinged the horizon gloriously. One, who had attracted a multitude of worshippers at the shrine of youth, genius and beauty, left her couch that the morn's pure air and gentle influences might fan her fevered brow and chase disquietude and sadness away. She left the crowded city walk for a more retired point, and passed on till suddenly a sound fell upon her ear; a cottage door was partly open—t'was the hour for morning prayer. An aged sire was reading a portion from the "old fashioned bible," and then began the hymn of praise—the first words of which that fell upon her ear were these— �"There for DM the Bsrlsnr Stead*, Shows his wounds unci spreads his hands, God is love—l asms-I M, ■iisie, asses sad totes bw stiil." Depths of incivy ciin there bo, "Mercy still reserved tto me? CM my God Hin wrnth forliear, .Me, the chief of sinners spare?" She listened. Was it the simple strain of music that held the soul spell-bound >. or was it the mere words that fell front their sacred lips ? She could not tell. The strain went on— " 1 have long withstood his grace, Long provoked him to his fice, Would not hearken to hit culi", Grieved hiiu by » thousand falls.' Tho voice of prayer succeeded praise.— Each sentence seemed a pointed arrow, as if aimed at a heart already pierced. With slowly retreating steps she turned to seek her home. The busy hum of city life now fell upon her ear but seemed unheard. Amid the great splendor of her beautiful home she sought to forget the soul struggle within. An hour passed. The stage managers of the city of B desired her presence below. With throbbing heart she obeyed the summons. She must appear that evening by special request, in a favorite character. In vain she , pleaded, A Man-of-WaraasField of Ministerial Labor. " Spare me the effort." " T'is impossible, the appointment is now [Iran BracUnnJ La nata,by Rev.fl, C, Stewart, r. s.

From this feeling it is that I have thus far attempted in vain to establish Hihie-cl'tsses. or secure a meeting for moral anil religious instruction, beyond tiie public worship of the Sabbath and our daily evening prayer; and front the same fear of man is it that one or two spiritually minded members of' a church, whom I have discovered among the ship's company, are unwilling to have their true character and profession known. The purpose of those chief in authority, to abandon, as far n.i piacticable, in the discipline of the siiip, the iron rule, and, in place of the "cat" and the "colt," the kick and the' curse, to substitute a treatment less degrading to man and more befitting him as a moral atrent and an intelligent being, has lieen tarried out. Thus far the experiment has been successful, anil we have a cheerful, obedient, active and efficient crew, We are also demonstrating the feet, by experience, that the crew can be content and happy without having served to them the ration of grog furnished by Government. Knowing that two-thirds of all the evil and misery lo which sailors, as a class, are subject, both at sea and on shore, arises from the use of strong drink, 1, early after the commencement ot our cruise, made eitons, by private argument as well ;ts by public addresses, to demonstrate the magnitude of the evils arising from intemperance, and to persuade all to follow the example of those who had stopped drawing rum. In securing so desirable an object, I have had the warm support of those in authority whose influence would 1* likely to have mos; effect, Commodore McKeever and Captain Mcintosh have both given me their aid. and the former has twice publicly addressetl the shio's company on the subject. The consequence is. we shall enter port without the name of an individual on the grog list, with the universal admission that the ship's company, to say the least, are content and happy without the rum as they were with it, and certainly more quiet and orderly. In the course of my cunvass on the subject, I had not only many interesting, but many amusing conversations and arguments with various individuals. Before yielding, therewas a great struggle in the minds of some half a dozen old topers—old men-of-warsmen, perfect sea-dogs, who, for half a century, have drank their grog as regularly asthe roll of the drum announcing its readiness was heard, and felt that they could not live without it. I really pitied some of these old fellows, in the mental struggle they suffered between conscience and a desire to follow the advice of those they honor, and the continued craving of an appetite strengthened �THE FRIEND, APRIL, 185 28 of Sthe these of the addresses habit a whole life. I fell in with one day, immediately after one of the Commodore. They were looking most_ doleful, as a true sailor seldom does look, except in some great moral extremity. Suspecting the cause, I opened a conversation in which one of them met my persuasions by saying, with a most o of appealing look, , I haven't been withMr. S X"Why, t my grog every day for fifty years. . Why, sir, 1 should die without it. I was brought up on it; my father kept a public house, and I sucked the tumblers, sir, from the time I was a baby!" But the old man soon joined the rest of his shipmates in the resolution to banish the grog tub. He has now gone a long time without his rum, and, in place of dying from the want of it, as he said he should, came up to me yesterday, looking hale and hearty, and, with a bright smile and speaking eye, said, , I wouldn't have believed it, "Mr. S but it's true.

See it : divine Master among the heathen. These ladies take this method of expressing the interest they feel in the new and beautiful vessel under your charge, and their approbation of the conduct of thousands of beloved children in this land and in the United States, who have purchased her, paid for her, and fitted her out for this most noble of all services. It is not the costliness of the gift, nor its elegance that constitutes its value, but the sentiment it conveys by its silent and significant emblems. Wherever it may wave at your masthead, let it proclaim to all that this beautiful craft plows the main, not for commerce, not for conquest, not for discovery, but for the extension ofthe light and love, peaceand good will to all the Polynesian families. And should any dark-minded Islander ever inquire of you, " What mean these hieroglyphics, what means that central star and that flying dove ?" you can tell them the one means light and the other love, shed abroad in the hearts of men through the Son and the Spirit of God, and thus men are saved. " Light antl Love" is our motto. These are what the benighted races of Polynesia need, and what the Morning Star is intended to carry to them. The hands that wrought this beautiful banner were moved by hearts that feel only love and good will for all for whose welfare this vessel sails the ocean; and, need I add, that the same sentiments pervade the hearts of this entire mass of dear children here present to-day, whether of the native race, the white or the mixed, who are here as part owners of the vessel, and whose fixed attention shows how deeply they are interested. Their young and tender hearts also glow to-day with kindly feeling towards our common brotherhood of the Polynesian races. Accept, then, sir, this banner, from the ladies of Honolulu, and wherever the winds and the waves, in the Providence of God, may carry you, let it proclaim " peace on earth and good will towards men." May the day star from on high soon arise on STAR GATHERING. cause of our Believing that many of our readers will be interested in a full report of the proceedings connected with the presentation of a Banner to the Morning Star, by the ladies and children of Honolulu, we publish the addresses delivered upon the occasion. A very large assemblage, numbering two or three thousand, gathered, at four o'clock, P. M., April 29th, on Market Wharf and in the streets adjacent. The Morning Star was moored to the wharf, and so situated as to be in full viewof the crowd. Her Majesty, the Queen, occupied a conspicuous position upon the stairs of the market. She was attended by Prince Lot, Mr. Wyllie and Dr. Rooke. We regret the absence of His Majesty from the Islands, for we are confident, had he been in town, he would have honored the occasion by his presence. The exercises on the occasion took place agreeably to the programme, found in another portion of our columns. Immediately after the Banner was presented, and before Capt. Moore had finished his reply, the numerous audience gave cheer upon cheer, as the signal was seen floating from the masthead. Foreigners and natives, old and young, all joined in the "hurrah !" We do not say the ladies joined, but we should be far from asserting that they did not! The Banner is about twenty feet long and twelve feet wide. The star is directly under the center of the word " morning." The dove is placed in the lower corner on the right hand. The ground work is of white bunting, and the emblems of sky-blue. All the Sabbath Schools of the city were numerously represented, and they marched there, floating in the blue of heaven—" peace and good will!" The olive leaf has appeared above the dark, heaving waters, and the prisoners of hope are stretching forth their hands in joyful recognition of this token of emancipation. It is well. We join with you in thanks to our God, and hope the Islands of the Sea will soon join with us in ascribing all praise, and honor, and blessing to Him who has wrought this great salvation, and under whose wings we have come to trust. Let your blessings follow us as we go hence, and, as your eyes follow the receding form of the Morning Star till it sinks behind the wave, may its beams shoot up in bright corruscations, evidencing a more glorious appearing, till time shall be no more. Substance of Hon. John Ii's Remarks. Children and Good People :—The Morning Star has at last arrived ; she lies in her beauty and fitness for her work. She is not like other vessels. They sail the, ocean for different objects; some to trade, some to fight, some to seek new countries. Not so the Morning Star. You and the children in America have purchased her and fitted her out to carry the Gospel of Jesus Christ to nations in this ocean, who are yet as dark, and degraded, and wretched as we once were. That is the work of this vessel, and if any persons on earth ought to engage heartily in this work, it is me—it is you, children. How do we come to see such a spectacle here to-day ? Where were we once ? Ah ! we saw nothing like this in the days of our heathenism. Now, we not only have the Gospel of Jesus, but we have to spare ! We can afford to send it to other lands yet in darkness. Our men and our women are going off" to communicate to others the blessings we have received. Let us not, then, tire in this work; let us rather increase, more and more. We have received much, let us do much. And, you, children, will soon be men and women, and I hope some of you may by-and-by go forth to the �south or west, and labor for Christ among the heathen. If so, happy shall you be; happy shall we all be to see it. The time may come when some of you, moved by compassion for the heathen, may sail in this same Morning Star, to carry the Gospel to some heathen land. If so, blessed shall we be, and blessed shall be our children. sC, . RS.byAedvr.Damon. Ladies, Gentlemen and Children, —As 1 glance my eyes over this immense concourse I regret that I consented to speak on this occasion. If the audience, however, will indulge me for a brief moment, I will add but a few words to the apt and appropriate remarks which have already been uttered ; short speeches have been the order of the day, and mine shall not prove tho exception. We are a company of favored spectators to-day. We are privileged to behold a vessel, the sight of which was denied to the good people of New York city, though many of them desired it! Probably, one hundred thousand children in the United States have contributed to fit her out. How few of those many thousands ever saw, or ever will see the beautiful craft we are now ga/ing upon, with her ensign hoisted, signals set, and streamers flying. There she rests upon the bosom of our quiet harbor, like the wearied sea-fowl with folded wings, after a long flight. But is she weary? No! like the youthful sailor, buoyant, hopeful and adventurous, she is ready for another trip, though not a week in port. That little vessel, my friends, is one of the golden links in that chain of Christian love, binding us, isolated in our position, to the good of other lands, and the unevangclized islands of Polynesia; but in a special manner uniting our children with the children of America. Hawaii and America are more closely joined than ever before. The rising generation of both nations have joined hands and cast their " dimes" into the same treasury. They are stockholders in the same enterprise. It is a good omen for the future. Some years ago, the children of missionloving old England, contributed their pennies to build and fit out the John Williams and the John Wesley for cruising among " the isles of the South." I rejoice that American and Hawaiian children have followed their praiseworthy example, causing a Morning Star to arise upon the islands of the North Pacific. Long may this Star remain above the horizon! Long may its bright beams, glancing abroad, gladden our mission stations in distant Micronesiaand Marquesas ! Long may its mild rays be reflected in the smooth waters of the Pacific ! I doubt not all gathered on this deeply interesting and joyful occasion, will unite in breathing forth the wish expressed in the beautiful language of the gifted Cowper: earnest " Heaven epeed the canvas, gallantly unfurled To furnish and accommodate a world ; Soft airs and gentle hcavings of the wave Impel the ship, whose errand is to save. To succour wasted regions, and replace The smile of joy and hope, in sorrow's face. Let nothing adverse, nothing unforeseen. Impede the bark that ploughs tho deep serene ; Charged with a freight transcending in its worth, The gems of India, Nature's rarest birth, That flies like Gabriel on the Lord's commands, A herald of God's love, to pagan lands." Address of Rev. H. Bingham, Jr. Just as the exercises were about to clo.e, a call was made, in the crowd, for Mr. Bingham to address the audience. As he hesitated a moment, the call was repeated: "Binama! Binama!" "Bingham! Bingham !" Thus unexpectedly called out, he delivered the following address : It gives me pleasure to stand here before you, upon this, my native soil. It gives me pleasure to stand here before my countrymen, and especially under circumstances like the present. I have always been proud to have licen a Hawaiian, but never more so than I am to-day, when I behold such expressions of interest in the Missionary Ship. It has been a pleasure to me to have been the first Missionary to sail in her from the United Suites, and I have been much gratified to have met the first Hawaiian Missionary whom the Morning Star shall bear from these shores to other Islands of Polynesia, and this day I have been much gratified to look upon him, as he stood before his countrymen, to receive from his pastor his final charge. But while we have thus met, under cir- cumstances of so great interest, I desire to urge upon you that you guard against allowing this interest to die away in outward expression. We may stand in danger of being influenced too much by the impulse of the moment. Interest in the cause of Christ, to be accepted, must be constant. If such interests be cherished among God's people, then it matters not whether we, individually, live or die; it matters not whether the Morning Star be soon wrecked upon the reefs of Micronesia. The Kingdom of Christ will still advance. So far from God's people being discouraged, the means for another vessel would be forthcoming. But, let us trust that this little ship, which so gracefully floats before us, may long be spared to plow the majestic Pacific, on its errands of mercy to the benighted of Polynesia ; and, when I shall have gone forth to islands far distant in the west, may she bring me glad tidings that on these shores Christ's Kingdom is still advancing, his cause still loved, and the prayers of his children still offered for our success, their faith still strong. I would it were in my power to address in their own tongue, these thousands before me. Then would I call to mind what God hath wrought among them. To them the light of the Gospel has been brought, and as they have received freely, let them give freely— " Freely ye have received, freely give." Go forth then with the news of salvation—yon cannot all go. Give then freely of your sympathies, your prayers, your means. Live for Christ. This vast assembly will meet again—no more on earth—but at the judgment seat of Christ we shall all appear, both old and young, both great and small. So let us live that me may meet, with joy, our Blessed Master. Order of Excrcises. 1 Invocation, •J.—Singing, - - - Rev. J. 1). Strong "The Mornlnu Star."

So nearly certain did it, for some months, appear that this fiery deluge would roll over our fair Eden, that many, probably most of the people, laid their plans and concerted measures to escape with such property as could be removed. It is also a fact that, under these threatening dangers, prayer was offered without ceasing by the church at Hilo, both in private and public. We also know that multitudes of God's people in other parts of the islands and in other lands, did not cease to lift up their prayers and cries to God for our deliverance. A day of solemn fasting and prayer was also observed by the people of Hilo, both by na| fives and foreigners, and few even of the un| lielieving class, exhibited the least disrespect the occasion. Most seemed impressed i for with the propriety and solemnity of the act. And still another fact remains On the 13th of February, 18i6, six months from the commencement of the flow, and when the lowest point of the stream was sea, and when, to all i within six miles of the ! human appearance, the action from the sumjmit crater to the terminus of the flow was j unabated, suddenly and unexpectedly the fiejry river ceased to flow longitudinally, and from that day to the present it has made no advance towards the coast.

We would merely remark, that it is customary for a portion of the daily sessions of the association to be occupied in reading essays, the topics having been assigned the previous year. The following was prepared and read by the Rev. T. Coan, of Hi- lo, whose situation enabled him to carefully observe the volcanic phononiena on Hawaii : Is IT PROPER TO HOLD lIP THE IHKA HKI-ORE THE HaWAIIANS THAT THE LAVA-FLOW TOwards Hilo ceased in answer to pray- er I Instead of giving a categorical answer to this question we propose to inquire L What are the facts in the case '. 11. What does the Bible teach us to believe on the subject of prayer ? 111. What are some of the scriptural examples in answer to prayer ? TV. What have been the doctrines and example of the Christian chur-hes on this •subject ? Y. Would any other teaching be according to the Inspired Word, or honorable to : Gad? I. Let us look at facts : On the 11th of August, 1855, a great volcanic eruption commenced on Mauna Loa. For fifteen months this great furnace continued to disgorge its floods of molten minerals with an energy not a little startling. If we take into account the amount of incandescent matter discharged, the length, breadth and depth of the stream, and the time of its continuance, this eruption has no parallel in the history of volcanic phenomona with which we are acquainted. . — : �1857 local calamity? And, when a State or EmTo the Centurion Christ said: As thou believed so be it done unto thee." pire is in distreiss, when appalling judgments " According to your faith so be it unto threaten, when dark clouds of wrath over" hang and a fiery horizon encircles it, has not you." " I have never said to the seed at Jacob, the proclamation often gene forth from the seek ye me in vain." "All things are possible to him that be- lieveth." "He will hear the prayer of ihe humble, and not despise their prayer." To the woman of Canaan : " O, woman, great is thy faith ; be it unto thee even as thou wilt." Texts of the same import might be greatly inultipled ; but those cited are sufficient. 111. Sonic of the Scriptural examples of answer to prayer. These are very numerous. I select a few only : First, take the case of Jacob, wrestling with God for deliverance from Esau Gen. xxxn ; and the result: Gen. xxxm. See, also, the prayers of Moses, in Egypt, at the Red Sea and in the wilderness. How strikingly and promptly they were answered. The prayers,-also, of Gideon, of Hannah, of Samuel, of David and of Solomon are in point. But the prayers of Elijah and Elisha are among the most striking in the Old Testament. The prayers, also, of Hezekiah, of Josiah, of Asa and of Jehosaphnt, when threatened with invasion, and when in deep distress, were promptly answered. So, also, were the prayers of Job, of Daniel and his friends, and of Ezra in camp at Ahava. In the New Testament we also find the same facts thickly studding those glorious pages. The leper, the Centurion, Janus, the blind man, the Syro-Phoenccian woman, the prayers of the church for Peter in prison, of Paul and Silas in the dungeon, and many other of a like character, all show that our God is a prayer-answering God, and that we may always trust Him with all confidence, not only for spiritual but also for all necessary temporal good. He is as truly the God of the material as of the spiritual universe, and He who listens to thesong of seraphim and cherubim, hears also the young ravens when they cry, gives meat to the young lions when they roar, watches the the nest of the sparrow and numbers the hairs of his saints. IV. We now ask what have been the doctrine and the practice of the Christian church on this subject? It is a historical fact, that in all ages, from the days of Christ to the present time, the devout and evangelical portion of this church have believed and taught the doctrine of a special, superintending and controling Providence in all the affairs of the universe, the minute as well as the vast; the complicated and occult as well as the simple and plain. To prove this I might cite confessions, declarations, prayers, sermons, lectures, and uncounted tomes of theology. But the fact is so obvious that I will not impose such a task on your time and patience. And if we look at the example of Christians, we find the same great fact prominent in all ages of the church. What has bee* more common than special, private, social and public prayers for a sick friend, a minister, a ruler, etc. ? And how often have particular churches or sections of country been called to fast and pray for the averting ol some : throne and the altar, calling upon all, the high and the low, to fast and pray and sit in sackcloth. War, famine, pestilence, drought, earthquake, tempest, and other public calamities, have all been considered by the pious as so many trumps of God, calling on his people to enter into their chambers, to shut their doors about them, and to humble themselves before Him whose wrath clothes the heavens in sackcloth and makes the pillars of the earth tremble. Why was England on her knees before the great Arbiter of Nations at the approach of the falsely called " Invincible Armada ?" And why did Jehovah thunder upon that infernal fleet, and scatter and break that armament with a tempest in his wmth ? And why ditl President Taylor proclaim a last throughout the American Republic when the cholera hovered, like an angel of death, over all that land t And when that messenger of wrath, the small pox, invaded the little, quiet and healthful kingdom of Hawaii, why did His Majesty, Kaniehameha 111., call upon his people to fast and pray and humble themselves before the God in whose hand our breath is ? Can there be any connection between prayer and the object desired ? How can prayer crystalize melted rocks; turn the current of nn incandescent river; hush the tempest; cause the heavens to give rain ; clothe the bronzed and burning earth with verdure; still the raging ocean ; scatter a marshaled host of warriors ; neutralize a deadly malaria ; move the hearts of monarchs on the throne and of monsters in the deep; control the motions of the heavenly orbs, or affect the wheels of universal nature? These are questions we cannot answer. The modus operandi—the how is with God. The fact is proclaimed in the Bible, published in all history, preached throughout Christendom and confessed in all prayers. " All things whatsoever ye ask in prayer, believing, ye shall receive"—even to the uprooting of mountains and casting them into the sea, and to the arresting of the sun in his career through the heavens. He chains the tempest, He holds the thunder. He sweeps the skies upon his storm car, He raises and hushes the ocean wave, and all this in answer to the prayer of the humble and contrite. Y. One more point remains, viz Would any other teaching be according to the inspired Word or honorable to God ? " Call upon Me,'' says God, " in the day of trouble. 1 will hear thee and thou shalt glorify Me." : David savs, in the ifcid Psalms, "Our fathers trusted in Thee and Thou didst deliver them. They cried unto Theeand were delivered. They trusted in Thee and were not confounded." Again, he says, " The King shall joy in thy strength, O Lord ! and in thy salvation how greatly shall he rejoice ! Thou hast given him his heart's desire, and hast not withholden the request of his lips." It has been the character of Bible saints, not only to pray but to expect the blessing asked for ; and not only to look for and expect the desired favor, but to know and thankfully acknowledge, it when received. 35 THE FRIEND. MAY, And more—to feel and say that it came from Cod in answer to prayer. Such has been the simple faith of multitudes of the saints. Without sophistry, speculation, phyItiMiphy or doubt, they have received the fact on the promise of Cod and on the testimony of observation and experience. And is there any other way in which we can expound the Bible, or give evidence that we believe it, or honor that Cod whose Word is yea and amen and who has not said to the seed of Jacob seek ye Me in vain ? When Moses prayed that the awful thunders of Egypt might cease, that the successive plagues which fell on Pharaoh might be suspended, that the beleagurod tribes at the Red Sea might be delivered, that Amalek might be discomfited, that the offerings of Koran and Dothan might not be accepted, or that the rebels in the wilderness might not be consumed by the fire of Cod's jealousy—did he hesitate to believe that Cod granted the very petitions he asked ? or was he slow or timid in recording the facts to the honor of a holy and faithful Cod t Did be say to the multitudes around him and to an infidel world, there may or there may not have been an "immediate connection between those prayers and the results which followed ? Would this have honored Cod ? Would this have been biblical ? Would it have been the language of a bold, yet simple and childlike faith ? And when Joshua, in prayer to God, said, stand thou still on Gibeon, and thou Sun, " Moon in the Valley of Ajalon," would it have honored God in the eyes of an unbelieving world to have said, like a philosopher, "The. physical laws of nature are uniform and unalterable ; therefore the idea that the sun rested in its course is an illusion, unphilosophical and impossible." When Hannah prayed for an heir to be consecrated to the Lord ; when Samuel prayed for a storm of thunder and lightening in the timeof wheat harvest; when David entreated that God would turn the counsel of Ahitophel to foolishness; when Elijah entreated that the heavens might be shut for three years and six months; when he again asked that they might be opened, and the burning eaith refreshed with rain; when he prayed for fire to fall on the Captain and his fifty, or upon the sacrifice at Carmel; when Elisha besought the Lord to smite the Syrian army at Dothan with blindness; when Hezekiah and Isaiah and the sackcloth clad elders of Israel fasted, and wept and prayed that God would save Jerusalem from the wrath of Sennacherib; when Hezekiah afterwards prayed that the shadow might go back ten degrees on the dial of Ahaz ; when Asa and Jehosophat en* treated to be delivered from the overwhelming hosts that were arrayed against them; when Jonah cried to God out of the belly of hell; when Daniel prayed in the lions' den; when he wrestled for the return of the captive Jews ; when Shadrach and his companions cried to God in a burning furnace; when Ezra, encamped with the returning captives at Ahava, proclaimed a fast and besought God for protection from the robbers on the way to Judea, because he had told the king that the hand of his God was upon all those for good who sought him, while his power and his wrath were against all who forsook him, and while he was ashamed to �36 require of the THE FRIEND.
