The good people of the United States have abolished Slavery ; we think they had now better turn their attention to Sabbath desecration and the morality of running cars upon God's holy day. 80 THE FRIEND. 1977. SEPTEMBER t. "The man who works in a Sabbath-breaking establishment will almost surely cease attendance upon church."— American Messenger. The pernicious influence of Sabbath desecration is widespread and disastrous. Inasmuch as the railroad corporations of the United States have for a half century .been educating hundreds of thousands of young men to work upon the Sabbath and to desecrate God's holy day, we do not wonder that so many of these men are involved in the terrible work of the burning and destruction of railroad property. If men are educated to violate and break the fourth commandment, why should they not go on to violate other commands of the Decalogue ? Corporations, it is said, have no souls; but it is time they had. They have feeling if not souls, and they can be made to feel in their pockets and dividends. All the papers coming to us from the United States have much to say about "capital and labor," but what we desire to see discussed is the question,— the moral obligations of capital." Are not We hope that those who are holding out inducements for young men and laborers to resort to these islands for employment, will bear in mind that such inducements are carrying with them a fearful responsibility. We are likely to have in our community a large class of unemployed men, and it is utterly impossible to suppose that white men can live upon the same wages and fare that a Chinaman or Hawaiian may. Let it be borne in mind that we have no assistance from the Hawaiian government, for the support of sick and disabled foreigners*, Consuls will aid only those known as " seamen or sailors." Already the funds of the American Relief Fund run low. Our rich planters must come forward with generous assistance to our American and British benevolent associations. 73 » Series, M 34. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-NO. 8 Mannedorf, June 3d, 1877. To my great surprise and disappointment, I have just discovered that the London mail leaves in advance of the time I had expected. Now I am afraid the steamer may reach you without a word from me ; I have been so busy traveling for the past few days that I have not in readiness any fitting description of the places I have visited, but hope that I may yet be able to forward something which may be of interest.* You will find your geographical knowledge somewhat put to the test, I fancy, in trying to discover the position of Mannedorf. On the map perhaps you will find on the shores of Lake Zurich this little town, and if not it is there just the same—one of the quietest, loveliest little spots that the sun of this June morning looks down upon in all the fair lake country of Switzerland. Now let me tell you in reference to the days which have intervened since I wrote you last, which was I think just on the eve of my leaving Geneva. When one has been in a city some five or six months, he finds that he has entrenched himself far more than he had any idea until he comes to take leave. The scenes at the station reminded me of Honolulu steamer days. Just as I was taking my place in the car, one of the ladies passed me a package, which I discovered to be a most exquisite porcelain picture in a beautiful blue velvet frame —one of those rare choice gifts which delight the heart; with it came a little note saying it was from the teachers and pupils of the Sunday school, as a token of their love and esteem. Then 1 had other remembrances of a more material nature ; I mention this to show what true friends I left behind. I can never forget how truly kind and generous and loving these friends We would acknowledge the receipt of papers and magazines for gratuitous distribution among strangers and seamen, from the following persons : Mrs. Chamberlain, Mrs. Beckwith, Mrs Dickson, Miss Chamberlain, S.

She is now dead nnd the wprk is carried on by a Mr. Zeller, a gentleman who was converted here, being himself originally a sceptic. Great blessing seems to have attended his efforts and many come here who are in need of bodily healing and others for spiritual strengthening and conversation and to hear what is being done here. Not that Zeller is in any way different from other men, but he does seem to have a faith so perfect and entire that he has been peculiarly blessed. During the summer there are many visitors here, coming for a longer or shorter time, rooming near at hand and taking their meals in this unique and interesting family nnd nttending the prayer meetings nnd services which are held in the little chapel. Mr. Buchnii nnd Madame dc Gingins and others hitd spoken particularly of this place, and so I came here, hoping for a little rest. Yesterday afternoon I left Zurich. On the boat I met some most charming English people from Guernsey, an ex-General in the army and his 'wife, who were coming up here for a few hours. They are very earnest Christian people and having read about the work here, desired to look into it. Just a little way from the steamer landing, hidden among the trees, is the quaint old-fashioned "home" where dwells this little company whose life is founded on the principle of faith. A happy, hearty German lady with a face as round and joyous as you often see, the " house-mother," with her keys and bustling, busy manner, met us at the door and ushered us in. She told us that this was one of her brother's most occupied days, and that it would be quite impossible for us to see him then, but she was an excellent substitute we soon found and learned what we wanted from her. There was a kind of hearty goodness which radiated from her genial face that was most delightful every time she spoke or smiled. They would be most happy to have me stay with them and as only those who were invalids could room in the house, she would find me a place near at hand. So I am installed in B most delightful chamber overlooking the lake and country, in a most convenient house, with a garden right at hand blooming and beautiful. Such a change from Geneva. German faces, and ways and language on every hand ! Mr. Zeller is a hearty, genial earnest man, reminding me in face and physique very much of Mr. Pratt. I should think his face would work a cure when his faith might fail. There are many here who are affected with some ailment or other; no medicine at all is used and no physician called ; (only) prayer and kind care are the sovereign remedies. Those who have looked into the history of this most interesting institution feel that it has been remarkably blessed, and more devoted, earnest people it would be impossible to find anywhere. Aside from the invalids there are visitors who come here for spiritual refreshment. There is a most interesting French gentleman from Neufchatel. a nephew of Prof. Godet of the Theological Seminary there, who is my neighbor at table. Beyond him is a very agreeable yodng English lady, whose acquaintance I made to-day ; also three Swedish students were here for several days, SEPTEMBER, 1877. who made their visit and then passed on. and interesting relics of, different kinds, and There is such a sweet, gentle, beautiful at- its mission house, through which 1 was mosphere about the place.

This afternoon I am going on to Heidelberg to see the splendid old castle there, then to Worms probably, to Cologne, and then to Elberfield, which is near at hand. I find no difficulty whatever in traveling, and the arrangements everywhere are so complete that this Rhine journey does not present any of the difficulties that a trip around Hawaii would to a somewhat experienced traveler. Elberfield, Bhineland, July 24th. I wrote you last from Heidelberg, or just as I was leaving Strasbourg. From thence I came on to Heidelberg, then to Worms and Mayence, and from there down the Rhine to Cologne, and lastly to this pleasant German city of Elberfield, where I am for the present domesticated in the family of the Rev. Mr. Blanch, an English clergyman studying German. Elberfield and Barmen are two large manufacturing cities situated close together in the valley of the Wupper, a river which flows directly through the two cities ; the surrounding country is most beautiful, rich in woodland, fertile farms and gardens. There is great wealth here, and splendid public buildings, private residences and churches abound. In the religious world the " Wupper Thai " or valley is especially known as being the seat of the most evangelical Christianity in Germany, and the clergymen here are of the highest order. The great Dr. Krummacher was for years settled here, and here wrote at least a portion of his " Elijah." Here too is the central point of the Foreign Missions of Germany, and the training schools of which I have spoken before. In a week or two there is to be the great " or anniversary, when people " Fest-Woche gather from all parts of Germany to hear the addresses just as at the meeting of the American Board. With the clergymen and the mission people the Blanchs seem to be on very intimate terms. I have heard Mrs. B. speak particularly of the distinguished Prof. Christlieb of Bonn, who spoke with such effect at the evangelical alliance in New York, at whose home she visits every year. Mr. Blanch has a beautiful fruit garden in the vicinity of Barme"n just now full of the finest currants and raspberries. Yesterday 1 spent a portion of the day with him there, in the midst of such an abundance of 75 1877. beautiful flowers and fruit that I wish I was solemnly impressed upon all interested might have been able to share them with in the subject: as at Soochow, where it is estimated that there are now six or eight you.

Wilder, Mr. Sorenson, and all others who have been instrumental in furnishing for the public convenience a first-class island coasting boat. It appears to be exactly suited to our island travel and trade. Long may she run. In bidding farewell to the old Kilauea, we cannot refrain from remarking upon the good service she has rendered the island community for more than twenty years. Well do we remember when she first arrived, being commanded by Capt. Bush, by way of Cape Horn. She was built under the special direction and with the capital of C. A. Williams, Esq., o*f New London. Never was there a better built boat, and the many hard •' knocks " which she has received while cruising around and among our reefs and shoals, prove that she was built " upon honor," and if the builders of the Likelike in San Francisco have done their work us faithfully and furnished as good materials, they deserve all the good words which have been published in their favor.

DANIEL DOLE. might be; for not only had his life been spared while " breathing out threatening* and slaughter against the disciples of the Lord," but he had been wonderfully changed from Saul the persecutor to Paul the apostle. And closely connected with the knowledge of Christ's long-suffering is that of his love : for these are kindred attributes. Paul considered the saying worthy of all acceptation "that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners ; " and he knew that love alone impelled him to come. " The grace of our Lord exceedingly abounded with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus." The strength of this love was wonderful. " Who loved me and gave himself for me,"—for me, the chief of sinners. Well might jie speak of this love as constraining,—constraining There are many kinds of knowledge, some of them more'or less useful, some injurious ; but there is one kind that is useful in the highest degree. Paul calls it excellency of knowledge. It is the knowledge of Christ Jesus our Lord. For this knowledge he counted all things but loss. As the mariner in danger of shipwreck casts his most precious wares into the sea, in order to save his life, so (or this knowledge, the great apostle suffered the loss of all things, accounting them as the merest trifles in comparison with what he gained. What he sacrificed was reputation, the hope of promotion among his people, and his chosen those who have felt it to live, not to themfriends. He not only lost them, but they selves, but to him who died for them. Well became bitter enemies. he estimate the excellency of the The first act in obtaining a knowledge of might of Christ Jesus as above all price. knowledge Christ must have been a great surprise. It is life eternal to know the only true For this was to discover that he whom he had been God, and Jesus Christ whom he has sent. persecuting with the greatest rancor as an (John, 17:3).

He is astonished at state of society in Micronesia, where our the forbearance of Jesus whom he had per- American and Hawaiian missionaries have secuted with implacable hatred, and well he encountered a class of men who have left : 1877. the lands of their nativities for reasons best known to themselves. Referring to the numerous vessels which have been wrecked and cut off," he says : "It will help to form some idea of the enormous amount of valuable property which has gone to destruction or fallen into the hands of barbarians in this particular vicinity,- if taking the island of Ualan (Strong's Island) as n center, we draw around it an imaginary circle with a radius of about ten degrees, and reflect upon the number of vessels which, within the memory of the present generation, have been willfully run on shore, scuttled, or burned, and the greater portion of their crews exterminated." He then specifies the Globe and some others, remarking as follows : '' At the Pescadores, Captain Mclntyre, of San Francisco, anchored and landed at the invitation of a pretended friendly chief, and was instantly beheaded on the seashore in sight of his crew, who were directly thereafter attacked and cut to pieces, and the vessel stripped and burned. At a neighboring island of the same group one Captain Dowsett landed with a boat's crew and was never more seen, although he is supposed to be still living, as his name has been found cut upon trees in several places, lately on Arrecifos, an island now used as a trading depot by Captain Hayes. A short timeago, H. M. S. Blanche, when cruisinpf in that vicinity, visited the island of Kaili, and there buried one of her officers. They described the-natives as a good sort of harmless people, and did not seem to be aware that about the very spot where they must have landed there lies visible in the shoal water of the lagoon the charred ribs and floor timbers of the flying J<bx of San Francisco, which was treacherously seized and destroyed by these simple-minded savages, and all hands belonging to her killed, with the exception of one Polynesian man. This writer makes not the most distant reference to missionaries or their labors, omitting to notice the fact that since missionaries commenced their labors on Marshal), Kingsmill or Caroline Islands, all included in the "ten degrees radius," not one instance'of a massacre can be cited except that of a certain German schooner on one of the northern Marshall Islands, and duly reported in the Friend by the Key. Mr. Snow —an island where' no missionary had ever landed. We take an interest in this matter, because the safety of life and property and the prosperity of commerce, has been most essentially enhanced by missionary labor. Merchants and others engaged in trading among the inhabitants of the Micronesiau Islands have found and will find it essentially conducive to their interests to sustain the missionary enterprise. We hope Mr. Sterndale will bear his testimony to this point. �THE I HIEN l> . APVIIRTISEIYIEN-TS. . M. DAVIDSON. | Office over Mr. Whitney's Book-store, formerly occupiedby Judge Austin. Honolulu, H.

They will be strongly tempted to deviate from the right pathway,—now is the time for the members of the Y. M. C. A. to work for the Master and the good of their fellow men. Christian women also have an opportunity to speak good words and " scatter seeds of kindness." Do not fear to speak to the young men wandering about our streets, or to invite them to your homes. As these young men go to other islands, give them letters to Christian friends and old missionaries residing in remote parts of the group.

Nine years ago these as- sociations owned no property; now they possess over two millions. Then three men were employed as secretaries; now 114 are employed by the local state and internation, al organizations. Then no groups of the societies had banded together to prosecute a common work in aid of one another. Now 24 State and Provincial conventions meet annually, and 11 of these employ each a secretary, "devoting himself entirely to the general work. In every department vigorous work is apparent. At Louisville the day after the convention, June 6-10, and a result of it, 821,000 was pledged in a meeting of citizens toward an association building for that city. The Christian associations in the States are paying their attention largely to work among railroad men. The work among them is very encouraging and is increasing rapidly ; oi' the 800,000 men employed on their various roads, thousands have been brought under the influence of the railway associations, and largf numbers brought to the truth. The Bible is full of alarm-bells as well as of sweet notes of invitation and rich chimes of devout melody. So let us be thankful for every honest voice of warning.
