Sermons.—The Annual Sermon in behalf of the Hawaiian Missionary Society was preached at the Fort Street Church, Sabbath afternoon, May 23d, by Rev. L. Andrews. We intended to have published a lull abstract of the admirable discourse, but learn that the Society intend publishing the srrmon in full. The Annual Sermon in behalf of the Bible Society was preached Sabbath evening, May 30, at the Methodist Chapel, by Rev. W. P. Alexander. The Sermon in behalf of the Tract Society will be preached by the Rev. B. W. Parker. With this number we conclude the republication of "Campbell's Residence on Oahu, 1809-10." From the frequent remarks which these articles have elicited, we infer that they have been read with much interest by many of our readers. The book from which these chaptars have been copied is exceedingly rare. The sketch of the character of Kaniehnmeha I, in this number, is worthy of perusal. Hereafter we intend publishing additional paragraphs from "rare and old authors,*' now in our possession, and relating to the early history of these islands. We regret that our crowded columns do not allow the publication of a full report of the interesting revival intelligence received by the last United States mail. Up to the latest dates there was no abatement of interest. Ttie general tenor ofall the papers indicate that the awakening is deepening and spreading. We cannot refrain from urging our riders to peruse these newspaperrept.rts with careful attention and true candor. These reports furnish a most interesting and important chapter in the world's history. We refer our readers to the Commercial and Polynesian for full reports of speeches and addresses at the Palace, called forth by the birth of the Prince Royal, the presentation of the new Commissioner, &c.

I.—Outward Passage. We left Honolulu on the 16th of March, ISSB, in the brig Morning Star, Cnpt. Johnson, Master, and A. G. Thurston, Mate. My fellow passengers were, Rev. J. Bicknell, with the Hawaiian teachers, L. Kuaihelani and L. Kaiwi, with their wives. For the first ten days we encountered S. E. gales, which drove us to the westward of the usual course. We crossed the line on the 29ih of March, in lon. 132* W., nearly two degrees west of Capt. Moore's track last year. But easterly breezes prevailing, we crossed his track in hit. 10° S. and 150° W. lon., near Caroline Island. From this point we commenced beating to the eastward, and for three weeks we were progressing slowly towards the Marquesas, 600 miles east of us, against a head wind and a strong westerly current. We traversed the Southern Ocean, back and forth, from the Bth to the 13th degrees, sailing about 150 miles per day, and making from 20 to 40 miles as an average day's work on our course. Although the winds of this part of the ocean are called the " S. E. Trades," yet they blow nearly the year round from a quarter varying but a point or two either way from the east. Consequently, they have not the cooling and refreshing power of our northern " Trades." This has been the usual route of our vessels hitherto in sailing to the Marquesas Islands. But it remains a question whether a shorther route might not be found by way of the northern variables to get the easting, and then down to the islands through the " Trades " with a free wind. The first land we sighted was Nilkahiva, and on the morning of the 21st April, 36 days from Honolulu, we made Hivaoa. II.-Arrival. Here we were detained two daya, lying off and on, to receive the families of the Hivaoa missionaries on board; viz: the families of Kauwealoha and Kaukau from Hanakekuua, and of Kekcla from Puamau. On Friday �THE FRIEND, JUNE, 185 8. 42 afternoon we stood out tn the N. E. to get to the windward of the island. The night was ttormy, wi h riin squalls. In the morning we were enabled to proceed on our way, and lay our course for Futuhiva. We arrived off Oomoa, near the roadstead, a little after dark, too late to venture in to the anchorage that evening; so we passed by to the south of the island and lay off, waiting for daylight. In the morning we took a pilot on board, und dropped nnchor about 10 A. M., abreast of the Missionary Station. This was on Sat# urday, the 24th of April, and 39 days from Honolulu. I.-LandReception. iCagonrdial I removed on shore with the Missionaries, where we were most kindly received by the Rev. J. Kaiwi and wife. I took up my retilence in the house of Mr. Bicknell, and took my meals at the long table set by Kaiwi, and furnished by the people of Oomoa. The arrival of the Morning Star was to them a great event, giving a consequence to their valley and to the Missionaries that called forth a liberality never before exerted by that people. On every side were greetings and expressions ofcordial welcome which | I had never expected to witness. Hogs, breadfruit, cocoanuts and bananas were brought in, more than all the Missionaries and their families could possibly consume. The surplus was sent off to the vessel, and we were all supplied in the greatest profusion. IV.—Examination of Candidates Missionaries, the 6 native church members, and 4 or 5 strangers from the Morning Star. In the course of my remarks, during the ordinance, I took occasion to say that the Mar-' quesan Mission had great occasion to be thankful to God for the good measure of success already obtained at the station where they had labored the longest. That, during the five years of their operations at Oomoa, they had raised up a little Christian community, who had forsaken their heathenish practices, and professed to believe in Jehovah ; that most of these, were learning to read, and attended religious meetings more or less regularly. That out of this number, 7 had already been received to the church, one of whom had died. I added, further, that it was five years after the arrival of Mr. Bingham and his associates at Honolulu, before the first converts were received to church membership, and that the number then received did not exceed the number now in the church of Oomoa. They had, therefore, every reason to feel confident that, if faithful in their labor of love for these heathens, God would prosper their work as He prospered us in the Hawaiian Islands. At the afternoon service, Kuaihelani was ordained to the ministry. Kaiwi read the Scriptures, Kauwealoha preached the ordination sermon, Keke'.a offered the ordaining prayer, I gave the charge, and Mr. Bicknell the right hand of fellowship. The occasion for ChurchMembership. was a novel one to the people of the place, who looked on with much interest. The Mission assembled in the evening to examine some candidates for church membership. Five persons presented themselves for the purpose. They were examined on their personal experience, their ideas of the true God, and what they thought concerning their heathen gods, on their belief in Jesus Christ as the Savior of sinners, and their ideas of Christian duties. They were accepted by the brethren, and a resolution passed to receive them the next day. V.—Examination of Kuaihelani for Ordination. We nfterwards proceeded to examine Lota Kuaihelani, in reference to his qualifications for the work of the Gospel Ministry. After a very satisfactory examination, the Missionaries voted to proceed to his ordin tion the next day, appointing the services of the afternoon for that purpose. VI.-SabE th xercises. The congregation on the Sabbath consisted of about 100 persons. But this is more than the usual number on ordinary occasions. After the sermon of the morning, the five candidates were received by the Pastor, Rev. J. W. Kaiwi, and, at his particular request, I baptized them. We then proceeded to the celebration of the Lord's Supper, at which were the 15 neither subjection nor real want, and why should he not be satisfied with himself ? VI.-Marquesn Warrior. He is a warrior, too, and this seems to be his delight. He spends all he possesses in the purchase of guns ar| d ammunition. Not the modern percussion lock—this he dislikes; but the good, old-fashioned flint-lock is his choice, with bayonet and cartouchebox. In order to make the greatest noise, and strike terror into his enemies, he loads it with a double or triple charge of powder, and on this he rams down an enormous slug. But lest mischief should occur to himself in its discharge, he crouches behind some wall or tree, out of sight, points his weapon, shuts his eyes, averts his face, and pulls away. The discharge gives hitn an enormous kick in the shoulder, turning the muzzle away from the object covered, and goes off with a tremendous roar, and with little damage to any but himself. He never faces his enemy in open battle, but lurks in his path and waylays him. It matteis little to him whether it be some unsuspecting man, woman or child of the opposite party in search of. food. If the latter, it is so much the le«s danger to himself. He falls upon him, kills him, and cutting off his head, he returns home with it in triumph, makes a feast to his atua, to whom he presents the skull publicly, and claims the honor of a " brave." Such is the manner of their warfare. They never take prisoners alive, unless to be a sacrifice to their god, when they feast upon their flesh. tIX.-AMoavrqeuL rsinn abor.

They are in in his appearance, with much good nature, the lowest state of barbarism. Their roads, sprightly in his manners and icind to his their dwellings, their costume, and their manners, evince this. Their houses, thrugh embowered beneath the greenest forest shade, are of the rudest construction. The roofs, thatched with breadfruit leaves, are tolerably tight. The walls consist of upright bamboos, leaving an opening between each pole; the floors of rough stones, without mats or other furniture, except the wooden trays in which is kept their food. Their dress consists of the tapa girdle and kihei; their ornaments, a bunch of feathers or human hair on each ankle, and a small, curiously carved sea-shell in each ear. Their bodies are hideously tattooed from head to foot, their hair tied up into a high knot above the crown of the head. A fine, athletic form, but besmeared with turmeric and cocoanut oil, giving their skin a yellow tinge, and sending forth a peculair odor, offensive to the nostrils of strangers, but highly agreeable to themselves. About the waist is worn a girdle, carrying a sailor.s sheath-knife. Thus equipped, with a fan in his hand, the lord of creation walks forth with a stately step, as proud and selfsatisfied as if he held the reality. Ha knows friends, with more vivacity than the Hawaiian, but wholly averse to any labor but what is necessary to cook his food, despising subjection to the authority of any one, and indignant at being called a servant even of his chief. The Missionaries cannot hire the people to work, and have to employ strangers for that purpose. These are usually sailors or Polynesians, who have left ships touching at the islands. Tabus. aXn.-Supderstion These Marquesans are the subjects of many absurd superstitions and foolish tabus, that enter into their every-day acts of life, are a great hindrance to their improvement, and preventing themselves from doing many necessary things. They are offended when any of these superstitions are ridiculed, and will defend them with much zeal. But it is observable that all these peculiarities cease at once when they become under the influence of Christian principles. For this reason, I advised the Missionaries not to make these peculiar customs a prominent topic in their preaching, but to preach Christ crucified for sinners, as the great and only salvation. �THE FRIEND, 43 JUNE, 1858. together with the moral duties inculcated in Kuaihelani was Kindly received by the resi- hand oT cultivation is scarcely known.

In the steerage, the Hawaiians also held daily morning and evening prayers; and on Sabbaths I preached both in English and Hawaiian.

The art of spiritual computation is not governed by the same principles and rules which guide our speculations concerning earthly objects. Toe value of gold, silver, merchandise, food, raiment, land and ho'tses, is easily regulated by custom, convenience or necessity. Even the more capricious and imaginary worth of a picture, medal or statue, may be reduced to a system tic rule. Crowns and sceptres have had their a ju Iged valuation, and kingdoms have been bought and sold for sums of money. But who can fix the adequate price to a human soul ? " What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul ? or, what shall a man give in exchange for his soul ?" The principles of ordinary arithmetic all fail here, and we are constrained to tay that He alone who paid the ransom for sinners, and made the souls of men His purchased possession, can comprehend and solve the arduous question. They are indeed bought with a price ; but are not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot. We shall only ascertain the value of a soul when we shall be fully able to estimate the worth of a Savior.—Leigh Richmond. of a We copy the above eighteen words from one of our late exchange papers, as they announce one murder, another attempt at murder, and a fearful desecration of the Sabbath, by allowing a "dance-house" to open upon the Sabbath, while our columns would not furnish sufficient space to detail the inferences Influence ok a Holy Life.—There is an which might be legitimately drawn from such energy of moral suasion in a good man's life, a paragraph.

Sandal-wood, pearl*, nnd mother-o f-pearl shells, are also the produce of these islands, and are frequently purchased for the China market. It is probable that the Russians will, in future, deiive from hence the principal supplies of provisions for their settlements on the Fox Islands and North-west Coast of America, and even Kamscatka. With the Island of Atooi the natives carry on a considerable trade. The inhabitants of Wahoo excel in making taper or cloth, whilst those of Atooi excel in canoes, paddles and spears, and they very often make exchanges in these articles. Owing to the number of ships that are constantly touching at these islands, provisions are by no means cheap. A pig is estimated by its length; the largest size, called poanana, or fathom-pig, measures that length from the snout to the rump, and is valued at two axes ; a junk of the thickst part of the sea horse tooth, five or six inches long, a yard and a half of blue cloth, or five dol- lars. Those that measure from the elbow to the opposite hand, are valued at one axe, or about half the price of the larger size. A sheep or goat may be had for a smaller piece of ivory; a muro or a pair of fowls for a knife, a pair of scissors, or small mirror. From their earliest years, the natives spend m'tch oftheir spare time in the water, and constant practice renders them so dexterous that they seem as much at their ease in that element as on land ; they often swim several miles off to ships, sometimes resting upon a plank shaped like an anchor stock, and paddling with their hands, but more frequently without any assistance whatever. Although sharks are numerous in these seas, I never heard of any accident from them, which I attribute to the dexterity with which they avoid their attacks. Throwing the top shoots of the sugar-cane at each other, and catching them in their flight, is a favorite amusement, the practice of which tends to render them very expert in the use of the spear. Dancing, wrestling, and foot-races are also common amusements, particularly at Macaheite time. The dances are principally performed by women, who form themselves into solid squares, ten or twelve each way, and keep time to the sound of the drum, accompanied �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1858. by a song, in which they all join. In dancing they seldom move their feet, but throw themselves into a variety of attitudes, sometimes all squatting, and at other times springing up at the same instant. A man in front with strings of shells on his ankles and wrists, with which he marks time, a< ts as fugleman. On these occasions the women display all their finery, particularly in European clothes, if they are so fortunate as to possess my. They received great applause from the spectators, who frequently burst into immodfra.e fits of laughter at particular parts of the song. They have a game somewhat resembling draughts, but more complicated. It is played upon a board about twenty-two inches by fourteen, painted black, with white spots, on which the men are placed ; these consist of black and white pebbles, eighteen upon each side, and the game is won by the capture of th- adversary's pieces. Tamaahmaah excels at this game. I have seen him sit for hours playinsr with his chiefs, giving an occasional smile, but without uttering a word. I could not play, but William Moxcley, who understood it well, told me that he had seen none who could beat the queen, preserved the bones of her father, wrapped up in a piece of cloth. When she slept in her own house they were r laced by her side ; in her absence they were placed on a feather-bed she had received from the captain of a ship, nnd which was only used for this purpose. When I asked her the reason of this singular custom, she replied, "it was because she loved her father so dearly." When the King goes to war, I understand that every man capable of bearing arms must follow his chief; for which purpose they are all trained from their youth to the use of arms. 1 saw nothing like a regular armed force, except a guard of about fifty men, who constantly did duty at the king's residence. There were aboui twenty of them on guard daily, but the only sentry which they posted was at t c powder magazine. All night he regularly called out every hour, "All's well." They were armed with muskets and bayonets, but had no uniform ; their cartridgeboxes, which were made by the king's workmen, are of wood, about thirteen inches long, rounded to the shape of the body, and covered with hide. I have seen those guards at their exercise ; king. rapidity, and not precision, seemed to be their The game of draughts is now introduced, great object. The men stood at extended order, and fired as fast as they could, beating and the natives play it uncommonly well. Flying kites is another favorite amuse- the butt upon the ground, and coining to the ment. They make them of taper, of the recover without usinif the ramrod ; each man usual shape, but of uncommon size, many of gave the word " fire " before he drew the them being fifteen or sixteen feet in length, trigger. and six or seven in breadth ; they have often three or four hundred fathoms of line, and are so difficult to hold, that they are obliged to tie them to trees. The only employment I ever saw Tamena, the queen, engaged in, was making these kites. A theatre was erected under the direction of James Beattie, king's block-maker, who had been at one time on the stage in England. The scenes representing a castle and a forest, were constructed of different colored pieces of taper, cut out and pasted together. I was present on one occasion, at the performance of "Oscar and Malvina." This piece was originally a pantomime, but here it had words written for it by Beattie. The part of Malvina was performed by the wife of Isaac Davis. As her knowledge of the English language was very limited, extending only to the words yes and no, her speeches were confined to these monosyllables. She, however, acted her part with great applause. The Fingalian heroes were represented by natives clothed in Highland garb, also made out of taper, and armed with muskets. The audience did not seem to understand the play well, but were greatly delighted with the afterpiece, representing a naval engagement. The ships were armed with bamboo cannon, and each of them fired a broadside, by means of a train of thread dipped in saltpetre, which communicated with each gun, after which one of.the vessels blew up. Unfortunately the explosion set fire to the forest and had nearly consumed the theatre. The ceremonies that took place upon the death of a chief have been already described. The bodies of the dead are always disposed of secretly, and I never could learn where they were interred. My patroness, the The natives of these islands have been accused of being cannibals ; but as far as I could judge, either from my own observation or from the inquiries I made, I believe the accusation to be perfectly destitute of foundation. Isaac Davis, who had the best means of knowing, having resided there more than twenty years, and who had been present and borne a share in all their wars, declared to me most pointedly, that " it was all a lie; that there never had been cannibals there since they were islands." From a perusal of the foregoing paces, it will be seen thnt these islanders have acquired many of the useful arts, and are making rapid progress towards civilization. Much must be ascribed, no doubt, to their natural ingenuity and unwearied industry; but great part of the merit must also be ascribed to the unceasing exertions of Tamaahmaah, whose enlarged mind has enabled him to appreciate the advantages resulting from an intercourse with Europeans, and he has prosecuted that object with the utmost eagerness. The unfortunate death of Captain Cook, and the frequent murders committed by the natives on navigators, particularly in Wnhoo, in which Lieutenant Hengist, and Mr. Gooch, astronomer of the Dmdalus, Messrs. Brown and Gordon, masters of the ships Jackal! and Prince Lie 800, lost their lives, gave such ideas of the savage nature of the inhabitants, that for many years few ships would venture to touch at these islands. But since Tamaahmaah has established his power, he has regulated his conduct by such strict rules of justice, that strangers find themselves as safe in his port as in those of any civilized nation. Although always anxious to induce white people to remain, he gives no encouragement to desertion, nor does he ever attempt to detain those who wish to depart. In 1809,the king seemed about fifty years of uge ; he is a siout, well-made man! rather darker in complexion than the natives usually are, and wains two of his front teeth. The expression of his countenance is agreeable, and he is mild and ufftble in his manners, and possesses great warmth of fe< ling; for I have seen him shed tears upon the departure of those to whom he was attached, and has the art of attaching others to himself. Although a conquerer, he is extremely popular among his subjects; and not without reat>on, for since he attained the supreme power, they have enjoyid repose and prosperity. He has amassed a considerable treasure in dollars, and possesses a large stock of European articles of every description, particularly arms and ammunition ; these he has acquired by trading with the ships that call at the islands. He understands perfectly well how to make a bargam, but is unjustly accused of wishing to overreach in his dealings. I never knew of his taking any undue advantages; on the contrary, he is distinguished for upright and honorable conduct in all his transactions. War, not commerce, seems to be his principal motive informing so extensive a navy. Being at peace, his fleet was laid up in ordinary during the whole time of my stay. When he chooses to fit it out, he will find no difficulty in manning his vessels. Independently of the number of white people he has constantly about him, and who are almost all sailors, he will find, even among his own subjects, many good sailors. He encourages them to make voyages in the ships that are constantly touching at the islands, and many of them have been as far is China, the Northwest Coast of America, and even the United States. In a very short nme they become useful hands, and continue so as long as they remain in warm climates; but they are not capable of standing the effects of cold. During my stay the building of the navy was suspended, the king's workmen being employed in erecting a house in the European style, for his residence in Hanaroora. When I came away, the walls were as high as the top of the first story. His family consisted of the two queens, who are sisters, and a young girl, the daughter of a chief, destined to the same rank. He had two sons alive, one about fifteen, and the other about ten years of age, and a daughter, born when I was upon the island. The queen was delivered about midnight, and the event was instantly announced by a salute of sixteen guns, being a round of the battery in front of the house. I was informed by Isaac Davis, that his eldest son had been put to death by his orders in consequence of criminal connexion with one of his wives. This took place before he fixed his residence at Wahoo. His mode of life has already been described. He sometimes dressed himself in the European fashion, but more frequently laid aside his clothes, a: d gave them to an attendant, contenting himself with the m ro. Another attendant carried a fan, made of feathers, for the purpose of brushing away the flies, whilst a third carried his spit-box, which was set round with human teeth, and had �47 THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1858. belonged, as I was told, to several of his pre- ADVERTISEMENTS.

It is said that he was at one time strongly addicted to the use of ardent spirits; but that, finding the evil consequences of the practice, he had resolution enough to abandon it. I never saw him pass the bounds 01 the strictest temperance. His queen, Tamena, had not the same resolution ; and although, when he was present, she durst not exceed, she generally availed herself of his absence in the morai to indulge her propensity for liquor, and seldom stopped short of intoxication.

"Well, your grace," replied Hunvan, "it is allowed, I believe, by all, that Timothy wasa bishop of the primitive church, and Paul, as all agree, was a traveling preacher. It occurs to me that this may have been designed, in future days, to teach that in primitive times the bishops were accustomed to wait upon the traveling preachers ; whereas, in our day, the bishops ride in their coaches, and the traveling preachers, like Paul, are minded to go afoot.'" -- room. 6-tf Honolulu, May, 1857.
