Steam Communication with Australia. On the 19th of April the Wonga Wonga, the pioneer vessel of the Australian and California line of steamers, arrived in Honolulu, having left Sydney the 26th of March, and calling at Auckland on her route. Everything appears to open favorably for the new line. She brought all the passengers that could be accommodated, some of whom go on to Europe. Connection here was made with the steamer Idaho, which left this port April 21st for San Francisco, taking besides a large number ofresidents and others. We should think this route over the placid waters of the Pacific must prove very acceptable to the traveler, whether on business or pleasure; and the introduction of steam on this ocean must necessarily stir up trade among its numberless islands. A New Zealand paper commenting on this new line, remarks: " The Panama route did not really bring New Zealand into communication with the United States ; nor did it enable telegraphic news to be forwarded which could compete with that which reached us by the Marseilles and Suez route.

Her objects are to obtain redress for grievances and wrongs lately committed on American citizens and property by the savages of several of those islands, and to place affairs generally on a more proper and solid footing for the future. No exploration or survey of Micronesia is intended to be made, except incidentally. Capt. Truxton has also been requested by the Hawaiian Government to investigate into the circumstances connected with the murderous attack on the Rev. Mr. Mahoe, and to give his countenance and protection to Hawaiian subjects residing on any of the islands of Micronesia.

GIRARD COLLEGE l While spending a few days in Philadelphia, we felt inclined to visit this famous institution. We had. not forgotten the tabu specified in Girard's will, that no clergyman should either teach in or even visit the Col- lege premises. Having occasionally met clergymen who had visited the place, and never having seen any one who had been refused, we were disposed to think that all scruples upon this subject were now ignored. Thus impressed, the gentleman whose hospitality we were enjoying having procured for us a ticket, entitled, " Stranger's Ticket," marked " special," and signed by one of the directors, we naturally supposed that no clause in Girard's will would prevent us from entering and viewing the spacious grounds and costly edifices. On entering the gate we were requested to record our names, being accompanied by two ladies.

As our readers may be interested in reading the clause in the will of the founder of this College, we quote as follows: "Extract from the Will of Stephen Girard. There are, however, some restrictions, which 1 consider it my duty to prescribe, and to be, amongst others, conditions on which my bequest for said College is made, and to be enSecondly, I enjoin joyed, namely, » and require that no ecclesiastic, missionary. *** �34 THE FRIEND, MAY. 187 9 or minister ot any sect whatsoever, shall ever hold or exercise nny station or duty whatever in the said College; nor shall any ttied person ever be admitted for .my purpose, or a*, a visitor, within the premises appropriated to the purposes of the said College. In making this restriction, I do not mean to cast any reflection upon any sect or person whatsoever; but as then- is such a multitude of sects, and such a diversity of opinion amongst them, I desire to keep the tender minds of the orphans, who are to derive advantage from this bequest, free from the excitement which clashing doctrines und sectarian controversy nre so apt to produce. My desire is, that all the instructors and teachers in the College shall take pains to instill into the minds of the scholars the purest principles of morality, so that, on their entrance into active life, they may from inclination and habit, evince benevolence towards their fellow creatures, and a love of truth, sobriety and industry, adopting at the same time, such religious tenets as their matured reason may enable them to prefer." On entering u colored Baptist church, we heard a very good sermon from a colored 'lerj-ymaii. It was Coinm union Sabbath. As the sexton came Hround to luke the collection, we asked him if we should be allowed to commune. He replied very courteously, "If you belong to our faith and order." In the one case we were denied the privilege of visiting Girard College because of our clerical profession, and in the other we were debarred the privilege of "communing" with the professed followers of Christ because not a member of a close Communion Baptist church. Girard had his reasons for forbidding clergymen from visiting the College which he founded, and so our Baptist friends have their reasons. From our standpoint the reasons in both cases are absurd and illiberal; but doubting not that we hold many opinions which to our fellow men may appear equally unreasonable, we feel more inclined to exerThis is certainly very clear and explicit. cise sell-condemnation than utter severe cenAs we sat in the janitor's room wailing for sures upon those who may differ from us in the ladies of our party to return, Commodore religious views. ——, of the United States navy, passed A SABBATH IN NEW BRUNSWICK, NEW JERSEY. out.

We found the College to be in a most prosperous condition, with its ten professors and one hundred and fifty students. In near proximity is situated the Theologicol Seminary of the Dutch Reformed Church. On Sabbath morning, October 24th, we attended church at the College chapel, and heard the Rev. Dr. Demarest of the Seminary, preach an excellent sermon from Matthew 5:17-20. While seated in the chapel, we could not refrain from an occasional glance at the portraits of illustrious divines and presidents whose names and memories are cherished among not only those belonging to the Dutch Reformed Church, but among Christians of the church universal. There hung the portraits of Livingston, Milledollar, Condict, Cannon, Proudfit, ami the late Chancellor, Hon. Theodore Frelinghaysen, whose memory is precious among all the friends of learning, philanthropy and missions throughout America and the world. One other portrait had found a conspicuous place among those illustrious men which particularly arrested our attention. It was that of the late Rev. David Abeel, one of the early American missionaries to China, where he labored before that Empire was opened to the preaching of Protestant missionaries. Perhnps no one has done more to direct the attention of the friends of missions to China than Mr. Abeel. Twice he visited that country, and when through feebleness the American Board thought it unwise to send him forth, he went among the theological seminaries of America, and endeavored lo arouse the attention of young ministers to the importance of becoming missionaries. Well do we remember his visit to Princeton Seminary during the summer of 1838, while we were a student there. The pleasure of our stay in New Brunswick was much enhanced in consequence of our becoming acquainted with several of the Japanese students now pursuing their studies at this College. Having met Japanese at Honolulu and at Amherst College, it was ex- ceedingly pleasant to meet with students from that far-off land quietly pursuing a collegiate course of study at New Brunswick. Here there are nine. One of them has spent four years in London, and we found him well informed in regard to the world at large. These young men have been sent to obtain their education in America through the- personal influence of the Rev. Dr. Verbeck, Rev. Dr. Brown, and Dr. Hepburn, missionaries in Japan under tbe patronage of the Dutch Reformed Board of Missions. The foregoing are a few of our reminiscences of a pleasant visit to New Brunswick, �Ili I; |Rl E N l>.

THE REV. DB. CUMMINGS. On the first Sabbath morning after our arrival in London we visited Crown Court, Drury Lane, Presbyterian chapel to hear the renowned Dr. Cummings, whose writings have become so generally circulated in America and the wide w-uld. Most fortunately for us, he preached ai home that morning. We learned that he seldom makes exchanges or is absent from his pulpit, morning or evening, except during a short vacation at the close of summer. The chapel stands back from the main street, and is quite antiquated in appearance and construction. The pews arc contracted, and the aisles narrow; the pulpit barrel-shaped, and is surmounted by a sounding board. The audience appeared 10 belong to the upper class in society, and many of them we know rank with the aristocracy. It is here the Duchess of Sutherland worships. The exercises, in regard to order of arrangement, varied but little from the Presbyterian or Congregational order as practiced in the United States. As the morning lesson, Dr. Cummings read and expounded the tenth chapter of St. John's gospel, referring to the Great Shepherd. His remarks were very rich and full of meaning. His text was selected from the same chapter, verses 27th and :28th. His discourse was delivered without notes, although it had evidently been prepared with care, and probably written out. DAYS' MISSION IN LONDON. our sojourn there was a strenuous During effort on the part of the clergy of the Established Church to arouse the attention of the mass of the people of the city to the importance of vital godliness. The churches were open morning and evening through the week, and there was constant preaching. To employ an American term, there was "a twelve days' protracted meeting." What seems quite remarkable, this effort was mainly put forth by the High Church Ritualistic party of the Established Church. Still not exclusively so, as the Low Church clergy joined in the effort. We copy the following notice of these meetings from the British Independent of November 26th: " The ' Twelve Days' Mission which the High Church clergy of London have organized for a great assault upon the religious indifference of the metropolis has been completed, and the directors of the movement seem to expect great results. To-day they are all to assemble at St. Jewry's to sing a Te Deum. It has, of course, excited much curiosity from outsiders, and most of the newspapers have attempted to get at some idea of its characteristics and tendencies. It is not surprising that the observers have reTWELVE ' ceived very contradictory impressions. They went with very different prepossessions, and the services have theniselves been by no means of a uniform pattern. Amongst the 120 churches at which they have been held there are • low ' as well as ' high,' and at some there has been nothing but sermonizing, He frequently alluded to the original Greek while others have been filled from morning and quoted from that language, but in a style to night with the perfumery of the mass. however, have been the main feawhich unfolded the meaning of the text, with- Sermons, ture of the Mission, and these seem to have out any apparent display of learning. We beenall fashioned upon the type of Wesleyan noticed the audience was well supplied with revival addresses. It is curious, indeed, to copies of the Bible, and made free use of the notice how anxious friendly relators have same both during the reading of the morning been to convey the idea of likeness between of Dissenting minlesson and the delivery of the sermon. This these sermons and those isters. The addresses of Whitfield and Weswas doubtless as it should be, and we are ex- ley'are their constant standard of comparison. tremely sorry the same practice does not The preachers,' says the favoring commenmore generally prevail in American churches.

Others, however; were just such extempore, century ago. ' earnest, and plain appeals and directions as any ministers might be glad to make in their evangelistic addresses. They were, however, almost invariably followed by invitations to * confess.' The reporter from whom we have already quoted says ' Be it in harmony with the meaning of the Church of England or not, there can be no doubt in the minds ol those who have attended these Mission services that confession is no longer a moot point or matter of discussion, but part and parcel of the religious 'revival,' and differing only in a very slight degree from the practice of the Roman Church.' At, many churches ' celebrations ' were incessant, and a variety of ceremonies were practiced. It is impossible that this revival' can have passed without startling up some dead souls or without giving some poor creatures the hope by which they may be saved. If Christ is preached, even though it be with all manner of absurd and mischievous sacramental additions, we cannot but rejoice." : ' Extracts from the Report of Rev. J. F. Pogue, Delegate of the Hawaiian Board of Missions to Micronesia in 1869. [Concluded.] PONAPE. Returning from my excursion to the falls, I found the boat of the Morning Star waiting at Mr. Doane's wharf to convey mc to the vessel and to Ova, the place now occu. pied by Mr. Sturges. Sooi, I was sailing up the lagoon. The scenery was beautiful in the extreme. Delighted I gazed upon it, as my heart went out in love to that Being who has made so fair a world as this for such beings as we are to inhabit. " Every prospect pleases, and only man is vile." Vile man, however, will be regenerated, and this beautiful island and world will be inhabited by those whose feelings, in unison with this loving landscape, will go out in adoration and devotion to the Holy Father, who has made all things delightful in their kind. On the 24th ot September the examination of Mrs. Sturges' school was held in the large, new stone meeting house at Ova. At 10 o'clock A. M.. some five hundred persons had assembled in the church. The high chief of that district, and the head of the Christian party, with his wife and daughter, were present. This daughter is one of the teachers of the school, and is a pleasant, good looking, intelligent woman ; married to a young man, whose title is lotapa, a fellow passenger on the Morning Star when she was wrecked. Some seventy or eighty pupils were examined in reading, writing, arithmetic and geography. Some questions were asked and answered in astronomy; several compositions read, one on Hawaii nei. The services were closed by a scene from the Bible—David killing Goliah. Everything went off well, and to the satisfaction of those engaged. The pupils have obtained a good �38 THE FRIEND. MAY, deal of knowledge, and appeared well for the advantages which they have had. Mr. Doane has a large class which he is instructing in vocal music. These sang several pieces during the examination, and acquitted themselves admirably. He his the nucleus of many choirs in his school. Many of the pupils have good voices, and will make creditable singers. As at Ebon, so here—all the people, old and yoiyig, join in singing, having committed to memory all their hymns, with appropriate tunes. It is said that the people on the high islands have much sweeter voices thvtn those on the low ones. Why is this ? Many of those at the examination were dressed in foreign clothes, some most fantastically. Especially was this the case with some of their head dresses. As a general thing these people were not so well attired as were the Strong's islanders, while they had more clothes than the inhabitants of the Gilbert Group. After examination came the feast. While in the house of Mr. Sturges, our attention was arrested by a loud outcry, a kind of chant. Going to the door, we saw a long procession of persons with sugar-cane, breadfruit, yams, pigs, dogs, etc., marching to a house where they intended to have the feast. Guns were fired, an old kerosene oil can was beaten,anda kind of flute played. These with the shoutings which were heard, caused as much excitement as is witnessed on such occasions in more civilized lands. One thing was wanting, which was always a part of such gatherings in old times, and is now among the heathen party, viz: awa. No awa was seen or drank. The five distinct tribes on Ponape are the Metalanim, Kity, U, Nut and Jekoits. The Nut and Jekoits are now united under one king, so that there are now only four kings on the island. Hezekiah, the high chief of the E7 tribe, is head of the so-called Christian party, which now numbers 3,000 or more. He is very influential, even more so than the king of the tribe to which he belongs, but is very inferior in personal appearance. There is nothing dignified about him. Being lame in both feet, and not able to stand erect, he has to be carried about on the back of a man, or on a manele. His face is also disfigured, but is. however, a Christian man. He has suffered, and is suffering for the stand which he has taken on the side of Christianity. May he be a nursing father to the church of Ponape, as was he after whom he is named to the Jewish church. Sabbath, September 26th, was another great day for the Ponape Christian party. Notwithstanding a heavy rain a large congregation came together, at least four hundred persons. There were three or four other congregations together on the island at the same lime. Your delegate addressed the people, giving them the Christian salutations of the churches of Hawaii and of the Hawaiian Board; spoke to them of the love of Christ to mankind and to themselves, and then urged them as followers of Christ, whose name they bore, to bring forth fruit, to show their love for him who had loved them and gave his life to save their souls. This service being ended the Sabbath-school assembled : Mrs. Sturges the superintendent; He- 1870. •— . zekiah, his daughter and her husband teachers. It was pleasant to see those high in authority taking theirseats as Sabbath-school teachers to instruct others in the gospel, which was precious to their own souls. At tbe close of the school the Captain of the late Morning Star made some appropriate remarks ; then the women with Mrs. Sturges retired to another house to hold a prayer meeting, while Mr. Sturges and the men remained in the churcii for the same purpose. Alter a short recess the people met again. The Lord's Supper was administered to some two hundred persons. The house was quiet. The peonle behaved with the greatest propriety. I saw none of that whispering, giggling, levity, etc., which has often pained my heart at the table of the Lord on these islands of Hawaii. The people appeared to feel that the Lord was with them; that they were engaged in a solemn service. In the afternoon I accompanied Mr. Sturges and Julia in a canoe to a village in the neighborhood to meet with the people in a prayer and conference meeting. In a large feast house, surrounded with canoes, mats, cooking utensils, etc., we offered our petitions to Him who is ever ready to hear the supplications of His people. It was good to be there. Returning to the house of Mr. Sturges, we closed the services of the day by uniting in prayer with some thirty or forty persons who came for that purpose. A day of toil, of bodily weariness, but a day of soul refreshing from Him who has given us the privilege of thus laboring in His vineyard. May good have been done, souls benefited, and God's name glorified. There are now four churches on Ponape, with some two hundred and fifty members m good standing. Three hundred or more have been baptized, but from deaths, suspensions and expulsions only two hundred and fifty are left. Some 3,000 of the people are under the influence of missionary instruction. No Hawaiian missionary has labored there for many years. It is a hard field ; many influences opposed to the gospel. A good work has been begun, which we hope may continue and extend till all the people, both foreign and aborigines, may be brought to the light, and be made acquainted with Him who alone can save the soul. Our work here being finished, we made preparations to return to Strong's Island, as the missionaries were not prepared to send any of their number west to occupy new fields this year. Perhaps it will be well to state here seme items which 1 gathered from the Captain of the brig Vesta, of Hamburg, belonging to Godfrey & Co., of that city. She came from the Pelew Islands, and was bound to Samoa with dried cocoanuts. The Captain and officers of this vessel have frequently visited the islands west of Ponape, where the Morning Star was expecting to explore this year. Pelew Island. This is basaltic, about 2,000 feet in altitude, and has 10,000 inhabitants; the Captain thinks less. This, however, is the estimation of tbe first officer, an intelligent German, who had spent nine months on the island. The women d%all the work; the men spend their time in eating, sleeping and fishing. The people are governed by one king, who rules with an iron rod, and is greatly feared. Under him are a number of chiefs who acknowledge their allegiance to him, but rule supreme over their own clans. Each man has one wife, and as many concubines as he can afford to buy or support. Their canoes are dug out from one log ; some of them 60 feet long, with out-riggers and sails. The largest canoes have 30 seats, and will carry 60 persons. Yams, breadfruit and sweet potatoes grow in abundance. Pigs and chickens are plenty. Some two years ago the people began the cultivation of cotton under the direction of a foreigner placed there by Godfrey Sc Co., of Hamburg. This firm have now ten cotton gins on.the island, and purchase the cotton when ginned at from six to eight cents per pound in trade. Two kinds are cultivated—the Sea Island and the South Sea cotton, but both are pronounced by good judges to be very inferior articles. It is the opinion of the Captain of the Vesta antl his officers that missionaries would be permitted to live and labor among the people. Yap. This is an island about 2,000 miles from Ebon ; basaltic ; about 30 miles long and 1,200 feet high ; has no lagoon, but a good passage into a harbor large enough for a ship to anchor with safety. The Captain of the Vesta estimated the population at 8 or 10,000. His first officer, however, said there were 15,000. The island is much more thickly inhabited than the Pelew, and (he people more treacherous. The women do all the work. The king is not feared like the king of the Pelew. The people worship a great number of spirits, who make the thunder, lightning, and cause rain. These spirits have the destinies of the people in their power, and are much awed by them. The productions of the island are the same as those of the Pelew. The language might be easily acquired, so thought the Captain, and missionaries might live among them without danger to their lives. Hoogloo. The people of these islands are the most savage of any west of Ponape. The first officer of the Vesta described them as treacherous, much more so than those of Yap or Pelew. Had no doubt our vessel would have been cut offhad she gone there. One month after the wreck of the Morning Star we embarked on board the English brig Anne Porter, Capt. Davie, for Honolulu, via Namaric, Ebon, and Butaritari. Having touched at these islands, and finished the work left undone on our outward passage, we arrived at Honolulu on the 4th day of February, 1570—77 days from Strong's Island, _56 from Ebon, and 44 days from Butaritari. 1 have been absent from Honolulu almost seven months, and during that time have sailed 4,618 miles on the Morning Star, and 5,094 miles on the Anne Porter ; in all 9,712 miles. Your delegate has been treated with the greatest kindness by all the missionaries with whom he has come in contact; as also by the captains, officers and crews of the vessels upon which he has sailed. May the Lord have blessed our intercourse with each other, and may it be seen at th*» last day that the seed sown on the waters may have brought forth fruit to the glory of His name whom we delight to call Master. �- 39 ===== ADVERTISEMENTS.

Getting into the confidence of his Celestial Majesty, and finding the service of the Chinese Government more profitable than that of Uncle Sam, he abandoned hiß ministry and undertook the leadership of a legation of Mandarins sent to Europe and this country to negotiate treaties with the leading powers.
