With this number we conclude another volume of the Friend, and hope to commence n new volume on the Ist of January, 1871. We have not much now to say about our principles, or the manner of executing our duties as editor and publisher. The manner in which we have been encouraged to publish this monthly sheet for so many years, has been convincing proof that there was a need of the same, and that it filled a niche in the temple of newspapers and periodicals which was occupied by no other publication. Thankful for past favors, grateful for present support, and hopeful for the time to come, we go forth to meet the " shadowy future." tH7" With this issue we conclude our Notes and Reflections," commenced in "May, 1869. We have published thirteen " numbers " on America, and " eleven numbers " on our journey through England, France, Italy, Egypt, Syria and Greece, equaling in printed matter a " 12-mo." volume of 200 pages. It affords us much gratification that our sketches of travel, jotted down while rapidly passing along from one country to another, have been perused with interest by our readers on land and sea. We have had frequent applications for the entire series, and shall be ready to furnish them, either stitched or in bound volumes of the Friend. {{HI Scries, Dot 2* HONOLULU, uECKMBtiIt I, 1810. He chose for his text the words of Peter in his first epistle, 2:17: "Honor all men." Some men, he remarked, would of course be honored, for mankind took special delight in hero-worship. Euch nation had its idols, and military chieftains were admired by all. The sentiment of the text, however, inculcnting the doctrine that man, simply because he was a man, was deserving of honor, because ho was created originally in God's image, and however debased, still retained the elements of his divine and immortal nature. The subject was carefully elaborated and beautifully illustrated. In the conclusion, he referred to the fact that there was upward progress in the treatment which MM as man was now receiving. The entire discourse was pervaded with the spirit of divine philosophy and a truly Christian democratic element. It was quite timely, and suited the state of the community. A copy hat been requested for publication, and will appear in the Hawaiian Gazette. We were glad to notice in the audience the American Minister, French Commissioner, Captain of the St. Marys, and a good representation of ship-masters and officers of the whaling fleet, together with a fair representation ol the resident foreign community. Captains' Wives.—We shall hereafter rather question the reports about the terrors of the Arctic, when so many ship-masters are accompanied by their "better halves." We hear of seven ladies this season who have passed in and out of Bhering's Straits, and some of them have made several voyages thither.

"WE SAILED UNDER CYPRUS." ACTS 27:4. When the Apostle Paul, accompanied by the Evangelist Luke, made their voyage from Palestine to Rome, as recorded in the closing chapters of the Book of Acts, the historian Luke remarks, We sailed under Cyprus." When making our passage from Palestine to Rome, eighteen hundred years subsequently, we too sailed, or rather steamed under Cyprus, and came to anchor in the beautiful Bay of Larnaca, on the southeast shore. Our steamer entered the harbor or roadstead before daylight on the morning of January sth, 1870,after a passage of twelve hour? from Beirut. It is a beautiful bay. The surrounding country appears hilly, and in the distance mountains of moderate size rise above the hills. At present the hills appear exceedingly barren and destitute of verdure. Our vessel came to anchor in clear and smooth water, about one-eighth of a mile from the landing place. We found here an American Consul, General L. P. di Cesnola. He is an Italian by birth, but was a General in the late war, and is married to a " New York lady. He received this appointment at the close of the war. The salary is only $1,000 per annum, but most fortunately for the General, he has succeeded in making some of the most valaable discoveries of ancient tombs, and from these he has taken relics, which nre of great value- historically and archasologically. These discoveries relate to a remote period when the Phoenicians held the island. Some of these are of an Egyptian type, while others are of Babylonian, Grecian and Roman type; hence historically they are of great value. Already has General Cesnola opened about three thousand tombs, From these he has taken a great number of specimens of pottery, sculp- �106 THE KItI I: M>.

One more meeting of this goodly Board of Foreign Missions is over. Brooklyn with lier "many churches" witnessed -this year the meeting of this nohle body. It was one of rare interest and importance, for you know that it was the last time that Presbyterian and Congregationalist met on the this separa" old-time footing. Though tion cast something of a shadow over the meeting, yet the true Christian feeling manifested on both sides did much to lessen this. The business matters attending such a change, and the arrangement of different mission fields, occupied much of the time. However, there were grand meetings at the Academy of Music, where (he number in atli'tiiliincc gave evidence of the deep interest felt in the subject of missions. In fact, this whole session of the Board has been eminently characterized by a true noble tone— a more than wonted spirit. The presence of several English gentlemen imparted a.' peculiar interest to a number of the meetings, and their pleasant, hearty words—truly English words —many will cherish. You will, through the papers, learn of the various eloquent addresses made. Of the men themselves I would write, did I not know full well that you still retain a " mind-picture " of the grand group, ever present at this annual meeting. From many distant fields ef labor came news of Christian warfare and of victory—of bright hopes of future blessing. Though in the "great assembly" one finds much of interest, yet it is in the meeting devoted exclusively to the missionaries that ww feels the trim mission, of Christ's followers. Here where all restraint is removed, they tell of their life in far-off" homes, of their trials and their " heart-aches," but above all, of the peace and joy they find in leaching of the Master. One meeting in particular I remember, where in eighteen different languages that ever precious verse, "Jesus wept," was repeated. And then with perhaps a want of harmony of tone at times, but never of heart, "Come to Jesus " was sung. On Tuesday evening Dr. Steams, of Newark, opened the services of the week with the annual sermon. On Wednesday morning I found myself with the great multitude moving toward the Academy of Music. This really opening service was occupied in a very great measure with business. It was very pleasant to meet old friends and familiar faces continually, and to watch the joyous meetings of missionaries, true veterans in the service, alter so many yean of sepa- " ration. After this morning service the missionaries went to the vcstry-rooin of the Church " I) E€E I I X It, Is 7(I of the Pilgrims." As this was only for real tnissioiiririrs and their children, 1 thought I might not gain admission, but when I saw so many islanders, I doubted not I would be welcome. I think we enjoyed these meetings most of all. Here I met the Grouts from Africa. Mrs. G. sends much love to her old school-mate. A bright, cheerful little lady is this Mrs. Grout. Then there were missionaries from Syria, India, north and south —from Turkey, in Europe, in Asia—from Africa, and many from our own Islands and Micronesia. There seemed to be much more heart in these meetings than in those great gatherings in Music Hall. One afternoon was given up quite to the Islands. Mr. Coan spoke in his own sweet way ; Dr. Gulick was more fiery and fluent than ever, and Dr. Clark told of his recent visit to the group. Now the connection between the Board and the Islands ceases. A truly grand work has been done. Each meeting brought much of interest. I enjoyed hearing these rare men of whom I had so often read —President Hopkins, Dr. Bacon, Storrs, Beecher, Albert Barnes, &c. You will find in the papers far better accounts of each meeting than I could give. Several gentlemen from England spoke, one very eloquently. President Gulliver, of Knox College, made perhaps the most telling speech of all. Mr. Beecher in his humorous, yet powerful way, seemed completely lo rule the audience. Whnt a wonderful power this man possesses ! A nil what it really is I can never understand, for all that he said, if uttered by any one else perhaps, would have had but little force, yet he seemed fairly to carry all before him. By the way, I was with some friends and was introduced to Mr. Beecher. 1 had hoped that on touching his sacred (?) hand I might receive some of his power and inspiration; but it was not so, and this faint " hero-worship" was not rewarded. I asked him whether he was coming to Amherst soon, (we had been expecting him for some time past,) but he said he should be unable to come, as he had had so many weeks " knocked from under him of late," and all his leisure time was over. One of the most impressive services of the week was held at Mr. Beecher's church. It was the communion service. Mr. Snow of Micronesia, Dr. Richard Storrs and Mr. Mitchell presided. There was such " holy stillness" reigning throughout that immense assembly. Every now and then there would come faint, far-away melody—tender, yet so grand, from the organ ; and we could hear Dr. Storrs' clear, flute-like voice as he told of that crystal sea,'' the " city of pearly gates," and the heavenly mansions. After the services were over Mr. Beecher went lo " the pulpit where stood an elegant bouquet of flowers and overturned it on the stage—roses, heliotrope, camelias—all rare and choice ; and so almost every one had some pure, beautiful souvenir of this communion season. Another of the services that I enjoyed more especially was the meeting of the theological and college students. Many told of the hopes and resolves that they had for the future. There was a manly spirit about the whole meeting. I find that theological students are not however vastly superior to college students ; not quite sober divines yet. After the closing services of the Board, there were so many Hawaiians present that we were determined to have a meeting. I managed to get ;i note to the Secretary on the stage, but he read the notice in so low a tone that only a few were able to hear it. Accordingly we posted ourselves at the different doors—Mr. Atherton, Charlie Cooke, Mary Cooke, Hattie Baldwin, myself, «?cc., and thus managed to get the Hawaiians together. Our party was, I assure you, of a very respectable size—over fifty I think in all. Such a very pleasant meeting as it was too ! Mr. and Mrs. Coan came in for a very hearty welcome, I can assure you. It fairly cheers one to look at their happy faces, where the " soul light " shines so brightly. Every one loves them wherever they go. Doctor and Sarah Coan were with them. I had met them both often, and felt quite well acquainted. They are both very cultivated— fond of books, music and painting. They have seen something of the world, and are desirous of seeing more. Then the Snows and Sturges' family were here from Micronesia, also Dr. and Mrs. Gulick, Oramel Gulick and wife, Emma Smith, of Kauai, Mrs. Capt. Gillet, Anna Paris, Mrs. Doanc, the Bissells and Snowdons, &c, &c. At home again. Here still I have some one to remind me of the Islands, for opposite me as 1 write sits Cornelius Bond, our old friend. I had been in my room but a short time after returning when he appeared. He was desirous of seeing something of the College, and came to spend a day or two. Dr. Gulick and his brother were here last week, and I acted as their cicerone over the cabinets. Mr. Snow comes next week. Good Time-Honored Practice.—For more than a quarter of a century it has been customary for persons interested in the gratuitous circulation of the Friend to aid in the way of donations. During the past year we have distributed gratis, among seamen and others, from three to five hundred, of each number. Donations for this year have amounted to t52, not one-half the actual cost of printing and paper. �THE 11.1 i: \ I). I» X I K>lU X X . ADVERTISEMENTS. ADVERTISEMENTS. 111 1870. ADVERTISEMENTS.

Upon the dark mountains they stumble ; Tliey are bruised on the rooks, and they lie With their white, pleading faces turning upward To the clouds aud the pitiful sky. There is ninny a lump that is lighted ; We behold them linear and afar ; But not many among them, my brother, Shine steadily on like a star. I think, were they trimmed night and morning, Tlicy would never burn down or go out. Though from the four quarters of he.iveii The winds were all blowing about. If once nil the lamps that are lighted Should steadily blaze iv a line, Wide over the land ninl the ocean. What a girdle of glory would shine ! How all the dark places would brighten !

Take another instance where the transgression is unmixed ambition, where it is not so mixed up with sensual indulgence as is Jezebel's. Take the man whom some of you would call the worst man described in the Bible, —the Herod who killed the infants in Bethlehem. Here is a sagacious man, a brave man, an admirable administrator, and one who out-intrigued the best intriguers of his day,—more than a match for Cleopatra, or Anthony, or Augustus. He stops at nothing. There is no bar he cannot spring over. Transgressor, indeed ! Appointed king, he had to storm the defences of his own capital, Jerusalem, so unpopular was he with the people. Very well,—he stormed them! The city taken, he deals with the Jewish council, the Sanhedrim. All but two had been opposed to him. So all but two are killed. The high-priest seems to be in opposition. He assassinates the high-priest. He is left at last without an enemy who dares show himself. He is at the height of prosperity and success. He loves, perhaps, no one but his wife; and he worships her. So his mother and his sister accuse her of falseness; and he, mad with jealousy, kills her. So with all who follow her. He marries whom h« will, divorces whom he will, kills whom the will. Two sons she leaves him, noble men, loved by everybody, even by him. So distinguished are they, that they win the jealousy of his brother and sister. fa an Eastern Coort, it is easy to accuse ; and the father, convinced too readily of their Bjoirt, tries the**, .and executes them.

As for future punishment of transgression, he knows as little of that as ever. But the way of the transgressor is hard now; and he knows that, as he rides upon it. THE SAVIOUR'S STATEMENT. In the face of half the theologians, we are to observe that this is the view steadily of the New Testament. Jesus is called a Saviour because he saves people from their sins, not from the consequences of their sins. The kingdom of his heaven is at hand, not. at a distance. To those to whom he gives it, he gives it now, not in the future. The sons of man, the daughters of man, are, in his view, God's immortal children, detailed here for such part of God's service as on this earth can be carried through. Do they transgress ? Do they break bounds ? Do they disobey ? Do they insist on wasting the period of their service here, in blunting their weapons, in straining and twisting their bodies, in imitating beasts? Such garrison follies destroy those who commit them. They become mean by degrees, and miserably less. Little need, indeed, of pictures of future punishment to terrify them from such folly. The folly is its own punishment, as, from day to day, their lires ebb out of them. Placed here to grow strong, they do grow weak. Placed" here to succeed, they find failure every hour. Little matter, indeed, for them, when they leave God's road, and for themselves hew out a new one, to ask whether this track will be cut short by bog or by jungle or by pitfall or by ocean. Little matter now ; for while they are hacking at it, and wading and staggering and PASSION IS LAWLESS. falling, it is clear enough taat the way of the To say that it is hard for a locomotive en- transgressor is hard to-day. gine to leave its track, and run across,—or, in Latin, to transgress,—where no track has (C7"The regular meeting ol the Associabeen made for it, seems clear enough.

Getting orders Iron! Koine that he may do his will with his son Antipater, he orders him executed, and then he dies. That is Herod the Great,—a successful transgressor, if to succeed is always to have one's own way. Now, I do not ask whether his conscience smote him or nut. 1 have no idea that, when Herod's life ended, he had much conscience left him. I have nothing to suy about remorse. I do not see that remorse plays a large part in suidi lives ; though I know that when it docs cut, it cuts deep. I only ask, if this way of his, which was his own way, seems to anybody a smooth way, a simple way, a way which would attract or seduce one, even if he could keep out of sight its end. Is it not from the very beginning a hard way ? Is it not clear that one of these murders compelled another? Is it not clear that this passionate ferocity grew with what it fed upon ? We are pleased to say that, in the close of his life, Herod was insane. We say the same thing of Nero, of Claudius, of Caligula. I suppose it is true. But what does that word " insane " mean in such lives but this ?—that where a man is cursed by the opportunity to transgress indefinitely, where he can gratify all his passions,—or, as we say, can have all his own way,—that then the brain gives way as every other organ fails, that he cannot think any more accurately than he can walk, or than he can strike. Passion destroys manhood. That is what we mean when we say he has gone mad. Or, in the language of the text, we mean thatthe way of the transgressor is hard.
