Polynesia—Cannibalism at the Fiji
Islands.
It has been reported that this abominable
practice had been abolished among the natives of the Fiji Islands. This is still true
so far as the Government is concerned, and
the natives under missionary influence. The
recent out-break of the old practice, involving
the death of the Rev. Mr. Baker, a Wesleyan
missionary, occurred on the largest island of
the group, Viti Levu, and at a remote distance irom the capital. Mr. Pease has recently received letters from Mr. Garrett, the
American naturalist, so well-known among
the islands of Polynesia. In one of his letters Mr. G. refers to the sad death of the
Rev. Mr. Baker, who he states was killed
and eaten, together with eight of his native
teachers, by the mountain tribe of natives on
Viti Levu. No particulars had been received.
Mr. B. leaves a family to mourn his loss. A
few weeks previous Mr. Garrett had made
an exploring tour among the wild tribes of
the mountains, probably the first person who
has ventured to do so, and was treated very
kindly. As a proof oftheir exclusiveness and
secluded habits, he states that while staying
at a trading post on Natewa Bay, Island of
Vanua Levu, a number came down from the
mountains who never before had seen a white
man. The trader who had boldly located
at the above post informed J\lr. U.
that he had not been disturbed, nnd had to
his knowledge but one enemy among the natives around him, and that was a woman
whose life he had saved. It is the custom
there, when the husband dies, to strangle his
wife, that she may accompany him. The
woman referred to above was about to be
strangled, when the white man interfered and
saved her life, as she had a family of young
children, for which she cannot forgive him.
It will be remembered that the United
States steamship Tuscarnra recently visited
the Fiji Islands, and an account of her visit
we published in the October number of the
Frieiid. Having recently received a new and
valuable book, published in London, upon
this group, in a subsequent number we shall
offer some additional remarks upon one of the
most interesting group of islands in all Polynesia. Of these islands there are no less than
two hundred, large and small.
A Cheering Word from Niihau.
A correspondent on that island thus writes:
We had a very pleasant time here on New
"Year's Day with our natives. We had a
grand feast, and some very good addresses.
Mr. Kupahu (our Pastor) wrote a hymn for
the occasion, which was set to music and
sung beautifully. After which there was a
Total Abstinence Society formed, and all our
young people joined it to set a good example,
and then a great many natives came forward
and joined also, and more will in time. They
seemed to enter fully into the spirit of it."
It is exceedingly gratifying to learn that
foreigners and Hawaiians are vying with each
other to promote the cause ot temperance.
The Hawaiians are fond of festive scenes.
All right-minded and intelligent foreigners
who have any regard for the native race, will
do all in their power to impart a good healthy
and temperate influence among the natives

on such occasions. A vicious and intemperforeigner is the worst of evils among
Polynesians, but a moral, correct, sober and
Christian foreigner settling among them is a
great blessing. Nowhere is example more
potent for weal or woe.

Lehigh University.—Who has not heard
of Lehigh coal ? But who ever of Lehigh
University ? No one ever heard of the latter until September I, 1866, for then it was
founded by the munificent endowment of five
hundred thousand dollars and fifty-six acres
of land, by the Hon. Asa Packer. This University is situated in South Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, along side of the venerable schools
of the Moravians, so widely known. Mr.
Packer, like some other rich and wise men
of the United States, having made a fortune,
is determined to see it expended in some
good enterprise, and not leave it to his heirs
to expend for him. This University has
opened under favorable auspices, as we learn
from a catalogue received by, the last mail.
Fifty students have nlready become connected
with this University. One of the most re.
markable features of the educational interests of jhe United States is this, that rich
men are devoting millions to the endowment
of schools, colleges and universities. Never

than during the late civil war.
Concert at Kaumakapili Church.—The
musicaj concert came off on Thursday evening, January 23d. The audience was large
and appreciative. Both concerts have more
than met public expectation. Some of the
pieces were very much admired. It has been
a source of no little amusement to some of
our German friends to hear the famous German gong, "Johnny Schmoker," sung by
Hawaiians. Both concerts realized overfsoo.

THE GOOD TIME COMING;
OR,
Presbyterlans and Eplscopalians Fraternizing.
We copy from the " American Church
Missionary Register/ for December, publisbed in New York, the following description
of the visit of the one hundred and fifty members of the Episcopal Convention, walkingarm
in arm to the Presbyterian Convention sitting in the city of Philadelphia, to which
reference is made by our correspondent.
Most sincerely do we regret that our narrow
limits will not allow us to copy the full report of this " Meeting of Brethren," as it has
been aptly termed :
So soon as the time of assembling of the
Presbyterian Union Convention was announced, it was regarded by many as an opportunity, divinely given, for promotion of
Christian unity.
By referring to the proceedings of the
prayer-meeting held by the Episcopal Convention of Wednesday morning, it will be
seen that a young man suggested that
prayer be offered for the Presbyterian Convention, and a second young man prayed fervently for that body. A poor woman who
was present rejoiced in her heart at the good
deed done. On her way she passed the Rev.
Dr. Wyllie's Church, and saw the sexton at
the door. She could not resist the itnpulse
to tell the sexton of the prayer which had
been offered. The sexton made haste to bear
the good news to the President, George H.
Stuart, Esq., who forthwith communicated
it to the Convention. Immediately all business was suspended, and all hearts engaged
in prayer. The next day a delegation was
sent to our meeting. The welcome extended
to this delegation has already been described.
Such a meeting passes all power of description. It was a gracious time, when
every heart warmed with divine love and rejoiced in the Holy Ghost; when strong men
bowed themselves, and the old and the yo.ung
alike wept; when the Lord set the seal of a
special benediction upon this effort to show
forth Protestant unity in the faith. All that
remains is to give an account of what was
done and said. In doing this, we •vail ourselves of various published reports.
When all were seated, G. H. Stuart, Esq,
the President, called for the singing of the
133dPsalm s
how good a thing it is,
" Behold,
And how becoming well,
Together suoh as brethren
In unity to dwell!
"
are
The scene was porfectly grand and inspiring, as the whole body, Episcopalians and
Presbyterians, united their voices in singing
this beautiful and appropriate psalm.
Mr. Stuart then read an extract from Paul
the Apostle relative to Christian unity. During the reading of this portion of the Scriptures, some of the Episcopal clergy ascended
the platform, seated themselves among the
Presbyterians, arid, at its conclusion, Rev.
Richard Newton, of the Epiphany, offered
prayer as follows:
'• 0 Lord Jesus Christ! Thou Great Head
of the Church, after whom the whole family
jn heaven and on earth is named, thou art
the highest object of our heartfelt praises, the
only foundation of our hope and trust: we
look to thee as our only Saviour. Wethank
thee for that broad foundation of truth, all
centering in thee, and upon which all who
love thee live in common. We thank thee
that there is so much truth which can not be
taken away from the Bible, no matter to what
denomination we may belong. Praise to thee
that we are seeing more of what we hold in
common. Oh! may we have increasing light
from thy countenance. Thanks to thee, O
Lord ! for this occasion, for this meeting of
brethren, for this interchange of brotherly affection and regard. Send more of the spirit
of love and unity into the hearts of the people everywhere. Bless those who have here
consulted together to promote the cause of
unity and truth. We thank thee for the
tokens of thy presence with them. Oh ! bless
their efforts and crown them with complete
success. Be with us now, and make us feel
that we are one in Christ, and have no other
foundation of love, hope and trust; that we
are only complete in thee, not in the Church,
not in any family of the faith, but beyond
and above all these, we are entire and wanting nothing in thee, 0 precious, precious,
precious Saviour! Oh! may we feel thy
presence and power while we continue here,
and bring us all nearer to each other on earth,
and at last unite us in the perpetual unity of
the one elected and blood-bought Church to
sing the heavenly song to Him who hath
loved us and washed us from our sins in His
own blood, to whom, with the Father and the
Holy Ghost, be all glory and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen."
Prof. H. B. Smith, of New York, then introduced the special deputation in a few
words.
Mr. Stuart then, advancing to Bishop
Mcllvaine, said, " Brother (I can't call you
bishop, for we are all brothers in Christ), I,
on behalf of the Presbyterian Convention,
welcome you and your colleagues."
Bishop Mcllvaine saiit. " 1 am very glad
to find presiding here over this august body
my old friend Mr. Stuart."
to war against infidelity ; we have to wn-r
against the power which has stood against
the Church—a power which at this day has
its eyes upon this country and that on the
other side of the water. It becomes us,
therefore, to unite our endeavors to further
every right effort to advance the truth. May
God bless us in our endeavors in this great
work!
The President having introduced Bishop
Lee, of Delaware, by saying that the last
time he met Bishop Lee was in Richmond,
where they had gone to minister to theUnion
soldiers, the latter spoke as follows: The
deputation has come to reciprocate the courteous and Christian greeting that had been
extended to their body. He felt, in common
with the one who had preceded him, that this
interchange of fellowship and Christian lovewas unprecedented and unexpected. This
certainly can not be attributed to the will or
wisdom of man, but to God our father. A»
the deputation entered this house, the first
words that greeted their ears were those
uttered in the prayer that was offered:
" Unto Him that loved us and washed us
from our sins in His own blood, and hath
made us king and priests unto God and His
Father, to Him be glory and dominion for
ever and ever. Amen." We come to acknowledge each other as belonging to this
royal priesthood. He felt that it was a privilege to be permitted here to speak of the
feelings of love which we entertain for all
the family of Christ. He expressed his sympathy with the members of this Convention
as members of the household of faith and as
engaged in the same great and blessed work,
and we all wish that mutual sympathy may
prevail among us. We call to remembrance
that the truths of the Reformation have been
maintained by your communion. We rejoice that you are preparing to stand unitedly
against the powers of darkness. In that great
day, when we shall be assembled before the
throne of God, how insignificant will appear
the differences which have here distracted u»
as members of the Church. He concluded
by thanking the Convention for the warm
Bishop Mcllvaine then addressed the Con- and fraternal reception which had been given
vention, saying: Dearly beloved brethren: to him and his colleagues.
Prof. Smith then led in reciting the AposWe reciprocate your prayers on our behalf.
Those prayers have been answered, not di- tles'Creed—all present repeating; after which

The President then called upon Rev. Chas.
We are here to-day for the purpose of expressing our love and our desires in response. Hodge, D.D., of Princeton Theological SemThe right hand of fellowship was extended inary, who addressed the deputation.
Dr. Hodge said : I am called upon to speak
to us yesterday in prayer, and now in this
manner I greet you in the name of the House a word of welcome in behalf of the brethren
of Bishops, and I greet you in the name of of the Presbyterian Church, a denomination

good that has been accomplished through
your instrumentality. 1 hope this audience
will pardon a reference to what might seem
personal under any other circumstances than
the present. You, Bishop Mcllvaine, and
Bishop Johns, whom I bad hoped to see on
this occasion, and 1 were boys together in
Princeton College, fifty odd years ago. Evening after evening have we knelt together in
prayer. We were baptized in spirit together,
in the great revival of 1815, in that institution ; we sat together year after year in the
same class-room, and we were instructed by
the same venerable theological teachers. You
have gone your way and I mine, but I will
venture to say, in the presence of this audience, lhat I do not believe that in all that
time you have preached any one sermon
which I would not have rejoiced to have delivered. I feel the same confidence in faying that I never preached a sermon which
you would not have fully and cordially indorsed. Here we now stand, gray-headed,
side by siue, after more than fifty years, the
representatives of these two great bodies, feeling for each other the same intimate and cordial love; looking not" backward, not downward at the grave at our very feet, but onward at the coming glory. Brethren, pardon
these personal allusions; but is there not
something that may be regarded as symbolical on this occasion ? Sir, were not your
church and ours rocked in the same cradle ?
Have they not passed through the same Red
Sea of trial? Did we not receive the same
baptism of the Spirit? Do they not bear the
same testimony to Christ and the Apostle ?
What difference is there between the Thirtynine Articles and our Confession, greater than
the difference between the different parts of
one great cathedral anthem that arises lo the
skies ? Does it not seem to you that these
great churches are coming together? We
stand here to declare to the whole world that
we are one in faith, one in baptism, one in
hope, and one in allegiance to your Lord and
our Lord.
During the delivery of Dr. Hodge's address
tears were falling from almost every eye, and
it would be impossible with the pen to convey any adequate impression of the solemnity
of the scene.
After these addresses the Convention spent
some moments in silent prayer, when Bishop
Mcllvaine led in fervent prayer for the object
contemplated in this Presbyterian Convention, and Rev. Dr. John Hall, of New York,
(late of Dublin,) led in earnest and appropriate prayer for the Episcopal churches in this
country and in Great Britain and Ireland.
Bishop Lee offered the Lord's Prayer, the
assemblage joining.
Mr. Stuart, the President, addressing
Bishop Mcllvaine, repeated the last three
verses of the sixth chapter of Numbers :

gracious unto thee; the Lord lift up his coun-

There is much gold, silver and other mineral wealth in California. There is boundless enterprise among the people on the Pacific coast. There are ministers, lawyers,
physicians and scientific men. There are
editors,oratorsand literary men. Butwhcther
amidst nil their wealth, talent and enterprise
they have one real genuine poet is yet an
undecided point. There are numbers who
write for the Poet's Corner in newspapers
and magazines, but has California a firstclass poet, or even a second-class poet ? Is
there one writer of poetry who writes because
he cannot help it ? This is the question.
The volume lying upon our table indicates
that possibly there is a true poet in California. Time and the world will determine.
We hope it will be decided by the coining
age, that the author of the poems in this volume is a true poet. If so, then he will prove
of infinite wealth to the people of the Pacific
slope. Poets are rare personages—rare gifts
of heaven. A poet is one of a nation's great
teachers. Some German critic has suggested
that there were many Homers who wrote the
Iliad ; but President Felton answers that
point admirably: " Heaven never give Greece
but one Homer, any more than heaven has
never given Rome but one Virgil, England
but one Shakespeare and one Milton, and
Italy but one Dante."
The author of these poems, it appears, is
a banker in San Francisco, and a graduate
of Vale College, belonging to the class of '61.
Like Rogers, it appears that while engaged
in banking, Mr. Sill finds time to write
poetry. It is reported of Rogers, the poet,
that he was the richest poet that ever lived.
We hope it may prove true that the rising
poet of California is the r.chest in thought
and fancy of all living men. Hereafter we
shall occasionally enrich our columns with
specimens of Mr. Sill's poetry. The following " odd scrap of literary history " is de-
serving of republication.

connected with the temperance question.
One physician is rcporied to have said that
no case of aneurism occurs unless the patient
is addicted to the use of spirituous or malt

If so, then we do not wonder at the number
of sudden deaths in the community, otherwise exceedingly healthy.

are required to devote their time to studies
for which they have no taste. The same

to study music. This is ■ subject which we
should be glad to see ably handled. It would
require the compass of a volume to give it a
proper discussion. We do not think Luther

we imagine Milton less a poet and writer of

may not have been quite right in saying that

Marquesas Islands.—By the way of Tahiti, we have received a letter from Mr.
Thomas Lawson, who has resided for many
years upon those islands. The letter bearsdate of Caunn, September 5, 1867. At that
time the Hawaiian missionaries were well.
Mr. Lawson has acquired a very intimate
knowledge of the native language, and now
proposes to publish a volume of hymns for
the use of the native Christians. Mr. LI thusj
refers to the cultivation nnd sale of cotton :
"The Government (French) still continues
to buy all the Sea Island cotton raised, here
at 10 cents per pound. The French Mission
has sold about $4,000 worth in all to a merchant at Tahiti at 6 cents per pound." The
work of civilization and christianization appears to ho progressing at the Marquesas
Islands. The Morning Star, it is expected,
will make next another trip thither.

has borrowed from the library of the Editor,
"Turner's Nineteen Years in Polynesia,"
and Murray's Seventeen Years' Residence

were murdered some eighteen months ago,)

While the Morning Star was at Strong's

American whaleship Emma C. Jo~net, Capt.

When, however, man has faithfully finished

Memorials of the Rev. Edward Johnson.
By the arrival of the Morning Star, the
sad intelligence was announced that another
of the American missionaries to these Islands
had finished his earthly career. He sailed
in the Morning Star as an associate delegate
with Capt. Bingham to the mission churches
of Micronesia. When his work was partially
completed, he died of typhoid fever while the
vessel was on her passage from the Gilbert
Islands to the Marshall Islands. His remains
were conveyed to the Island of Ebon, and
there interred upon the mission premises.
This is the first foreign missionary of the A.
B. C. F. M. who has ever died in Micronesia. Mr. Johnson was a native of Mollis,
N. H., having been born in ISI3, and hence,
dying on the Ist of September, 1867, was
54 years of age. He came to these Islands
in 1837, arriving with that large re-enforcement which supplied so many teachers.
Waioli, on Kauai, was the station assigned
to him, and there he continued to reside with
his family during the entire period of his
missionary life—thirty years. The early part
of his life as a missionary was spent as a
teacher, being associated with the Rev. Mr.
Alexander. In consequence of changes and
removals, it was deemed advisable that he
should be ordained as the Pastor of Waioli
Church. Such were his qualifications for
the ministerial work, that he has officiated
for many years with great usefulness, having been assisted by the efficient co-operation
of his excellent wife, who survives with a
family of five daughters and one son to mourn
his loss. The unexpectedness of the death
of Mr. Johnson renders the blow most distressing to his sorrowing family and parish.
If he had died at home, bereaved and sorrowing friends and people would have borne
him to his grave and paid the last sad offices
over his remains, but his remains repose on
the lone Island of Ebon, far, far away. For
many years Mr. Johnson has been one of the
pillars of the churches on the Island of Kauai.
Not originally having been educated for the
ministry, he has evinced traits which have
admirably fitted him for usefulness among
Hawaiians. As one afteranother of the early
missionaries to the Islands passes away, a
sad vacancy is made, but it is » matter of rejoicing that Ml so many instances native Hawaiians are prepared, by education and other
qualifications, to carry forward the work of
the Gospel. A most excellent Hawaiian
minister now preaches in the pulpit vacated
by the death of the Rev. Mr. Emerson about
one year ago. No higher praise could be
bestowed upon the departing and dying missionaries, and no better proof of the soundness of their teachings be adduced, than that
afforded by the fact that native Hawaiian
:
A Convert to Foreign Missions.
The Christian Register of November 30th,
1867, a weekly Unitarian newspaper published in Boston, contains the addresses of
several of the leading divines of that denomination upon the subject of foreign missions.
Among these addresses we find some remarks
by W. T. Brigham, Esq., who recently visited these Islands and taught at Oahu College. From his remarks we copy the following paragraphs. These remarks confirm the
oft-repeated sentiment that foreign travel will
liberalize the mind and tend to make men
more charitable in their opinions. In our
intercourse with foreign visitors, how often
we have met persons on landing full of
narrow-minded prejudice against missionaries and good people, but upon leaving we
have noticed that their minds have undergone an entire change. All, however, are
not so honest, generous and frank as Mr.
Brigham to recant their opinions and make
a full confession before a Boston audience.
" I confess to you that, four years ago, I
believed, as many Unitarians believed, that
foreign missions were useless and absurd ;
or, at least, were only useful to teach people
how to open their purses. I thought that
missionaries were a fanatical, narrow-minded
set of men, who could get no parishes or societies at home, and went off to foreign lands
because they seemed to have no other work.
But a residence of a year and a half on the
Hawaiian Islands was enough and more than
enough to undeceive me. 1 found there a
band of missionaries who, in about forty
years, have raised a whole people from the
lowest depths of barbarism to a civilized condition that we might be proud of in New
England. I had heard so many stories of
the deceit, hypocrisy and tyranny that these
missionaries practiced upon the unsophisticated natives, that I really believed them. I
that the world has ever seen, perhaps, and
might be the text for very many sermons;
but I think it is familiar to you all.
After that, wherever I went I looked-for
the" missionaries. I lound the Presbyterians,
the Congregationalists, the Episcopalians,
the Baptists, all with their men in the field.
Rome, too, was sending her devoted bands,
working nobly. But from the time I left
Boston, with the single exception of Starr
King's dying sermon, I heard no Unitarian
preaching, and I saw no Unitarian missionaries, until, two years afterwards, 1 tracked
through the crooked streets of Calcutta into
a dark, narrow lane, where the American
Unitarian Association has its solitary mission."
