With the opening of the year IS7O we commence the 27th volume of the Frkml, wishing our readers, on land and sea, a happy New Year. True and lasting happiness is only found by yielding a heart obedience to the will of God ; and this is His will: " That ye may believe on Him, whom He hath sent." A living faith in Christ and His word, which purifies the heart and life, is alone the source of real happiness, remembering that without this faith it is impossible to please God. Be persuaded, then, to seek and live for Christ, and you will prove by experience the truth of these words, and realize in life and death the Divine promise : Say ye to the righteous, that it shall be "well with him." The Friend as the oldest paper published in this part of the world has an historical importance, and its direct attention to the moral and religious culture of seamen gives it a claim upon all who desire their welfare. The influence of a periodical which -is scattered so widely and fills so peculiar a place is by no means small. Its past record has been consistent, truthful and earnest, and its future we trust will be worthy of approval by all who love the good cause of progress and religion.

" The inexcellent suggestions on all matters connected spired teachers, Dr. McCosh said, were in with health and happiness. Its eminently the way of employing all the objects in namoral tone is especially commendable. It is ture, with which we were familiar, in order to be much enlarged and improved this year. to illustrate spiritual truths. Solomon sent Mission Work among the Chinese. CONTKVrs I'm- .liiihhii JANUARY 1, 1810. : ' �TII X ¥R 2 the slothful man to the ant: " Go to the ant, thou .sluggard." Isaiah made the ox and the ass rebuke the ingratitude of the professing people of God : " The ox knoweth hi* owner, and the ass his master's crib, but Israel doth not know, my people doth not consider." A greater than Solomon and nil hia prophets sent those who distrusted in God's providence, to the lilies of the field and the fowls of heaven " Consider the lilies of the field, they toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that Solomon in all his glory was not erjnal to one of these." The influence of all this on pious men in ancient Israel was most beneficial. Living us they did much in the open air and in perpetual view of the wondrous works of God in earth and sky, nature was seen by them to be full of God. Would that the example set by Hebrew shepherds and husbandmen as they tended their flocks, or pruned the vineyards, would induce those who live much among the worlds of nature now to take the same elevated views. The works of nature would, in this way, afford a higher and nobler pleasure, when thus associated with God and wilh divine things, than when associated merely with professional work and sordid earthly solicitudes. There was not an object in the mineral, the vegetable or animal kingdom which was not capable of being enlisted into the service of Christ. The plant in particular had been employed by the inspired writers to convey spiritual lessons. The life of the plant seemed to them like the spiritual life of the soul; the rain and dew that nourished it reminded them of the grace which came down fromdheaven; the flowers which adorned it taught them that the soul should be adorned with heavenly graces ; and the fruit which it yielded, admonished, them that they too must bring forth fruit unto God. The lesson of this day was derived from the plants. Christ himself was the teacher, and the grass and lilies were the lesson book. The greatest of all teachers was employing his works as symbols, figures, or models to instruct us in divine truths. Our attention was called to four topics. First we were called to consider the works of God, and in particular the plants, the lilies, and the grass of the field. We were to mark them, to mark how they grew, and we needed no scientific knowledge, no learned terms to enable us to do this. All persons who had eyes to see might in particular observe two things. First, every part of the plant was made to serve an end; every organ of the plant had its use. To every reflecting mind this was obvious. Secondly, there was visible in the plant an order, an a beauty. Special reference was made to this by Him who made them, and who now used them to teach us lessons. God was said not only to have made but to have clothed the grass of : the field. We were also called to consider the grounds which we had for trusting in God that he will provide for our temporal wants : Wherefore if God so clothe the grass of —" field which to-day is, and to-morrow is the cast into the oven, much more shall he clothe you." This was a specimen of Bible reasoning; the Bible spoke as unto wise 11 NO , JANUARY, 1870. men, and called on us to judge what it said. Its reasonings were all brief, all very conclusive, but at the same time easily followed. We were also called to consider that if God so clothed the grass of the field, that if he so clothed the bodies of his people, much more would he clothe their souls with heavenly graces. This was not the direct lesson taught by the text, but it nrose directly out of it. Our souls had already been cut off from God, the source of all spiritual life; but so great value did God set on these souls that He sent his Son from heaven to save them from everlasting death. Christ's work when on earth was a work of salvation, and his prerogative was still to seek and save that which was lost. He was in this world now by his Spirit as he once was by his bodily prcseirce. Wherever Christ went he left behind him traces of his presence. Before him, as he marched through the world, were the blind, the deaf, the dying and the dead; behind him were the seeing, the hearing, the living and the loving. His was a work of salvation, a work of beautifying; not only was the soul once dead made alive by his work, but beautified and adorned. If men had faith but as a grain of mustard seed they would, by the vital power which was imparted, be clothed with graces of many a hue, each lovely in itself, and lovely in the place which it had to occupy. There would be the brighter colors ; the blue, the pink, and the orange of faith and confidence and hope, mingling with the darker but not less lovely colors, with the red, the purple, and the olive of penitence, humility and patience; and the whole lightened and brightened by what was after all the pure beam of heaven, by the pure white light of love coming direct and unbroken from Him who was light and love. Our souls needed to be beautified ; they needed not only to be renewed, but to be adorned. There were some Christian men and women who were under the influence ot true faith and steady principle, but they were not amiable. They were cross, or peevish, or violent, or stubborn. Such persons needed to be clothed, that they become not only good but lovely. This world was but a place of nurture, where we were to be nurtured, and then transplanted into the paradise above. The flowers around us hud their beauty but for a day, but it was different with the souls which were being adorned by the Spirit of God ; they were to bloom forever in a better land, where were no winds to blight nor storms to destroy. Dr. McCosh concluded by exhorting his hearers to rebuke their unbelief, for it was a want of faith or at least a weakness of faith, which led us to be so overwhelmed with wordly anxieties. Sabbath afternoon we started out in search of a church, which was open for preaching, and after visiting a Methodist, a Baptist, and a Unitarian, we returned at 4 P. M., and heard another sermon at Shawmut Church, from the Rev. Dr. McCosh. His text was " Unto me, who am less than the least of all Saints." He described the character of the Apostle Paul and gave some reasons for the sentiment of the text. We were interested in noticing the method of sermonizing adopted by Dr. McCosh, win. enjoys so good a reputation as a Divine and ■ preacher. His method is that of preachers who divide off their discourses into divisions and sub-divisions, and from the discussion, drawing certain inferences. The theory of some preachers, that a sermon is a " Sacred Oration," was evidently not taught the young preachers where he studied. In the evening our efforts to find a church open for preaching were even more fruitless than in the afternoon. We visited Park Street, King's Chapel, Old South, Hollis Street, Bloornfield, Tremont Temple, including Orthodox and Heterodox, but no preacher could we find ready to proclaim the gospel, yet the streets appeared to be full of people, and the Common was thronged with pleasure-seekers. At last we saw a dim light in the vestry of Park Street Church, and on entering heard a few worshipers singing, mSweet hour of prayer, That calls me from a world of care." The services were conducted by a young man whose appearance and youthfulness most favorably impressed us. His remarks upon one of the Psalms of David were very appropriate. The audience was very small, considering the multitudes seen outside of the church, and the fact that no churches were open where preaching was to be heard. We returned homeward, having had our religious emotions enlivened by the exercises of the prayer-meeting, but cannot but think it somewhat strange, that in this great city, abounding with churches, there should be found scarcely a single one open for preaching on a Sabbath evening, even if it was in the warm weather of July. At Honolulu we are not aware that a single Sabbath evening has passed during the last quarter of a century when there was not preaching in English at either the Bethel or Fort Street Church ; and during much of the time at both. AMONG THE SPINDLES AT FALL RIVER, MASS. In order to visit an old college class-mate, the Rev. Dr. Hitchcock, of Union Theological Seminary, who was spending his summer vacation at Fall River, we visited this famous city of spindles. Our visit was fortunately at a time when we met another old college friend, the Rev. Dr. Poor, of Newark, N. J., who is soon to leave for the Pacific Coast, to assume the pastoral charge of the Ist Presbyterian Church of Oakland, California. During our brief sojourn in New England, we have been enabled to meet many of our old college friends and acquaintances. It is exceedingly pleasant and refreshing to renew friendships, formed more than thirty years ago, in the freshness of youth and amid the scenes of collegelife.

Hiram Bingham, Senior, was bom nt Bennington, Vt., October 30th, 1789 ; graduated at Middlcbury College in 1816,and at Andover Theological Seminary in 1819. He and his clerical associate in the Mission, the late Rev. Asa Thurston, were ordained at Goshen, Ct., on the 29th of September. He was soon after married to Miss Sybil Moseley, of Westfield, Mass., a lady of distinguished qualifications for the missionary work. The pioneers of the Sandwich Island Mission consisted of Rev. Hiram Bingham, Rev. Asa Thurston and their wives, and of Messrs. Daniel Chamberlain, Thomas Dolman, Samuel Whitney, Elisha Loomis, Samuel Ruggles, and their wives, together with three Hnwaiiaus—John Honolii, Thomas Hopu and Willi'im Kanui, who had been educated at the Mission School in Cornwall,Ct. They sailed from Boston October 23d, 1819, on the brig Thaddeus, Capt. Blanchard, and arrived at Honolulu April 19th, 1820. after a passage of six months. Here Mr. Bingham took up his residence during the twenty years of his missionary life. Honolulu was then a large irregular village of grass huts, inhabited by ignorant, idolatrous and super- stitious savages. It is not easy at this late period to enumerate all the trials and privations of the pioneer missionaries to these Islands. Their opportunities to communicate with their friends and the Prudential Committee in Boston were few and far between. Their annual supplies from home were on a very small scale, and by no means sufficient for the health and comfort of their families. Here they were strangers in a strange land, among a people destitute of civil and religious institutions, whose language had never been reduced to writing. They must begin dc novo, with the alphabet, determine the number of its vowels and consonants, make up a vocabulary of words, decide upon their orthography and their etymology; they must enter immediately upon the work of preparing elementary school books, must translate portions of Scripture, and thus prepare the way to communicate the good news and glad tidings of salvation to this people. But they had trials to meet of a far more formidable character than these. Like Paul the Apostle to the Gentiles, they could say " In perils of robbers, in perils by the heathen, and in j>erils by my OWN cimtitryiiten" Yes, some of their greatest trials and" apprehensions of evil were from their MM roi/nM/men ! But notwithstanding the many trying circumstances in which they were : placed at the commencement of their Mission, they went forward in the name of their Lord and Masteatand he enabled them to come off more thTn oonquerers. Truth and righteousness prevailed, and the rulers in a few years adopted the Christian religion as the religion of the nation. A few months after the arrival of the pioneers at these islands, Messrs. Bingham and Thurston wrote a joint letter to the Society of Inquiry on Missions at Andover Theological Seminary, in which are the following prophetic interrogations : " Is it too much to hope that, before many months shall pass . 187 0. away, perhaps on some favored day of the churches throughout New England and the monthly concert, while Zion is on her knees Middle States. before God, this nation may be born, and Several years after Mrs. Bingham's death, added to the Redeemer's crown '.'

The death of this great philanthropist occurred, at his residence in London on the 4th of last November. His numerous and magnificent charities will long endear his name to millions in England and America. From an exchange we take the following sketch of his life Mr. Pcabody was born in Dauvers, Mass., February 18th, 1795. Hisearliestancestorin America was Francis Peabody, who left St. Albans, in Hertfordshire, England, in 1635, and settled, after some sojournings, at Topsfield, Mass. The dwelling and saw mill which he built there are said to be still standing He was a man of considerable prominence in the community, and left what was then regarded as a large property. But before the end of the next century, when his descendant, the late banker and philanthropist, was born, the family had ceased to be wealthy, and Thomas Peabody, the father of George* was in straitened circumstances. His education was such as the common schools ol Danvers could supply, and even these advantages he enjoyed only until he was eleven years old, when he was placed in a grocery store in Danvers. Here he spent four years, then went for a year to his grandfather's in Thetford, Vt., and afterward to his brother's store in Newburyport. A fire there put an end to his brother's business, and George was invited by his uncle John to to with him to begin a new business enterprise at Georgetown, D. C. Here the business was nominally conducted by the nephew on account of his uncle's financial embarrassments, but, fearing that he might be made answerable for debts not incurred by him, the young man, then only nineteen years old, left his uncle and formed a partnership with Elisha Riggs in the dry goods trade. The business, for which Mr. Kiggs furnished the capital, was entirely conducted by Mr. Pcabody, and in about a year was removed to Baltimore. Here it was so successful that in 1822 a branch of the house was established in Philadelphia and one in New York. In 1829 Mr. Riggs retired from the business, and Mr. Peabody became the head of the house. He had occasion several times to go to Europe to buy goods, and was entrusted by the State of Maryland with financial business, which he accomplished very advantageously, refusing all compensation for his services, for which, however, the General Assembly expressed in public resolutions the gratitude of the State. : In 1837 Mr. Peabody went to London to reside, continuing to conduct the business of the firm until 1843, when he dissolved the partnership, and established himself in business as a banker. In this business he was uniformly prosperous, and accumulated a great fortune. The first circumstance which attracted general attention to him from America, was his gift of £4,000 to enable American exhibitors to appear with credit at the international exhibition of 1851 in London, for which Congress, unlike the governments of European nations, had failed to make any provision. The next year he furnished $10,000 to equip the expedition under Dr. Kane to the Arctic seas in search of Sir John Franklin. In 1852 he began thatseries of munificent benefactions which are now inseparably associated with his name, by a gift of $20,000 to found an institute and library for the people of his native town, the origin of the Peabody institute, which has now an endowment of $200,000 from his generosity. In 1857 he founded a similar institute on a larger scale in Baltimore, giving at first $300,000, aud raising the amount subsequently to $1,000,000! In 1862 he made the first of his gifts to "ameliorate the condition of the poor and needy " of London. He at first placed in the hands of trustees the sum of £150,000, to be used by them in their discretion for the general purpose of improving the condition of the London poor, with no restriction other than his suggestion that a portion of this sum should be used in the " construction of such improved dwellings for the poor as may combine in the greatest possible degree the essentials of healthfulness, comfort, social enjoyment and economy." The amount given for this purpose was afterwards increased to £350,000, equal to more than $2,000,000 of our currency. In acknowledgment of these distinguished benefactions, besides the municipal honors conferred by the city of London, the British Government proposed to give him a baronetcy or the Grand Cross of the Bath, but he declined these compliments, and, being pressed to mention what would be acceptable, he said : "A letter from the Queen of England, which I may carry across the Atlantic and deposit as a memorial of one of her most faithful sons." The Queen sent him an autograph letter, accompanied with her portrait in enamel, both of which are deposited in the Peabody Institute at Danvers. But Mr. Peabody's greatest benefaction was his gift to build up education at the South. To this object he gave in all nominally $3,000,000, but a considerable part of this amount was in funds not now productive and having only a small market value, but which the donor thought would ultimately be worth their face. Besides all these gifts, he bestowed large sums upon each of a considerable number of educational, literary and charitable institutions, and built a beautiful church as a monument to his mother at Georgetown, Mass. Mr. Peabody's health had lieen infirm for several years, and his death, though not immediately apprehended, it was known could not be distant. Since his return to Europe, a few months ago, he had visited the south of France, hoping that his health might be benefited by the climate, and had lately arrived again in London. He was never married. The greater part of his fortune had been given to the various benevolent objects we have mentioned. He died equally regretted by both the great nations that he had blessed with his benefactions, and leaving an example which other rich men may emulate with satisfaction to themselves, and advantage to mankind. Along with the Editor's Notes from the United States, we expect to commence interesting Editorial correspondence from the Old World, in the next month's issue—it having reached us too late for insertion in this number. 5 THE FRIEND, JANUARY. 1870.

Captain L. McKay, of Boston, has furnished some interesting facts evidencing the immense strides iron ocean steam navigation is making. Wooden steamers have for years superseded the sailing packets upon every ocean line, and now the former have in turn to give place to those of iron; and sailing vessels constructed of this material, trading on the long routes, are also being crowded off the seas by the rapid encroachments of the metallic steamer. The beautiful China clip- pers which have won so much fame by their swift flights from the Orient to this country and Europe, loaded with the precious products of China and the Indies, will soon, like the old Liverpool liners of this port, become things of the past. Already have steamers arrivetl at London from China. One brought 3,000 tons of tea, and made the trip in sixtyfive days; and another with a freight valued at $150,000 and another made the trip in sixty-two days, also richly freighted ; and the same owners are building four more for the same trade. And thus they progress. The old Dramatic, the Black Ball, the Black Star and other Liverpool lines from this port, and the Havre and other Continental lines, so intimately connected with our city's commerce and prosperity, have had to yield to the merciless steamer. The historical frigate ships, the pride of the old British India Company—the Australian, the : Brazilian and West Indian packets—have all in turn been driven off the course hy the irrepressible new agent that links together the most distant parts of the earth in her iron band. The Iron A (ft was a suggestive name for the bark lately launched on the Delaware— the first of her class ever built this side of the Atlantic, and few will doubt its applicability when on one river—the Clyde—there are now on the stocks, in various stages of forwardness, 100 iron steamers, aggregating 100,000 tons, and that the last year's production for the same place amounted to no less than 171,126 tons of iron steamers and sailing vessels.

Admiral Turner, left for San Francisco op Wednesday, December 15, having spent some six weeks in port. The visit of the Admiral here has been one of observation by order o\ his Government, and will be attended with good results, as it has given him an opportunity to make a personal inspection of the condition of American commerce and interests at this port. We understand that one result of his visit will be to devote more attention to the groups of islands lying west and south of us, and which come within his field of inspection. This includes from the North and South American shores as far us Australia in the south-west and the Micronesian groups and Ladrones in the west, in short the whole of what is termed Oceanica,—a portion of the Pacific seldom visited by war vessels of any nation. The recent outrages committed by natives of various groups, as well as the revival of thecoolie or slave trade in this ocean, has decided the Admiral, with the sanction of his Government, to station a ship here, which shall be held in readiness to visit any groups west or south of us, wherever her presence may be demanded. For this service the United States ship (Jssi/m, Commodore Taylor commanding, will be detailed, andarrive here in the spring. The Commodore, who ranks next to the Admiral, will be entrusted with affairs in the central Pacific. The plan is most certainly a judicious one, and must tend to inspire greater respect for the American flag among the savage tribes which will be visited by this and other naval ships.— Advertiser.

While on shore shipping men, the Ist anil 2d officer*, coojier and three bsulsteerer* stole the larboard bout, and deserted, going to the opposite nide of the island. This wholesale desertion of my olllcers so crippled me that we could nut no North ; therefore, changed the voyage to a cruise South. Cruised near French Rock until the 20lb of June, taking 125 barrel* sperm oil (3 whales.) Went to the Westward and cruised on Brampton Shoals ; took 525 barrels of humpback oil. Left the Slioul* on the25th September, bound to the Hay of Islands, for the purpose of discharging the crew. On the passage took two sperm whales,which slowed down 45 barrels. Left the islands on Ihe 19thof Oetolier for the Sandwich Islands, arriving at this jnirt December 2d, after a pasflage of 45 days. Had light winds to hit. 10° -Y. thence took the trades to port.
