Consul, is about to leave with his wife for the United States, to be absent four or five months. He has now held the consular • office for a period of four years, during which time he has discharged its duties in an honorable manner, and has certainly achieved one point never attained by any one of his numerous predecessors ; whereas they, during each period of four years, have drawn upon the Department for from $50,-000 to $150,000, he has not only paid expenses, but remitted a small balance to Washington. Of late his health has not been good, and he is doubtless experiencing the effects of those hard political campaigning tours offormer years, when he was wont to mightily amuse the inhabitants of the rural districts of Ohio by his speeches and anecdotes, ala Abraham Lincoln. Hoping to welcome them after a pleasant visit to their native land, we wish them a pleasant voy«g« and speedy return. We add that His Excellency Mr. Comly, U. S. Minister Resident, on Friday evening, Sept. 27th, at his residence in Nuuanu Valley, gave a reception in honor of Dr. and Mrs. Scott's departure. It was a general gathering of the elite of Honolulu, including the British, French, German and other fie. presentatives of foreign nations at the Hawaiian Court.

They are most beautifully executed statues, full of vigor and animation, and I have'found them a constant source of pleasure, during the winter, watching them under varying lights and circumstances, in the freshness and sweetness of the early morning and in the evening when they rose into the moonlight or looked out from the half-lighted shadows of the night. But at last we stand on the avenue itself, stretching far, far away, past long lines' of buildings, past the splendid equestrian statue of Frederic the Great, past graceful, verdant rows of linden and chesnut trees to the distant Brandenburg Gate. With the avenue bathed in sunshine, with the flush here and there of brilliant equipages, and glitter of military uniforms and sounds of martial music floating down to you, and the countless grouping of men and women and children on all sides, and the presence of noble buildings and palaces and statues it is indeed an inspiring sight. To our riglit as we commence our walk, lies the huge arsenal, and a little further on to our left the palace of the Crown Prince, a splendid building, with a colnnade on one side. Beyond the arsenal lies the Guard House, where soldiers are always stationed. Perhaps some Royal Carriage is coming down the avenue. If so, you hear a loud call to arms, the tap and roll of the drum, and see the line formed to present arms." Or if it is about the hour of noon, you may pause with the crowd in the beautiful chesnutgrove near at hand to listen to the perfect, military music which seems to fill the quiet noon air with a wonderful melodious life. Perhaps the grove is filled with troops in faultless uniforms, and officers in glittering costume and covered with orders and medals are receiving and giving orders. And right at hand is the immense university building, directly on the avenue and so near where we have just been listening to the music that sometimes the brilliant strains of the band float into the lecture rooms and almost drown the wise words of the Professors, and have an odd way of mixing themselves up with Latin verse, and historic dates, and " profound and metaphysical reasoning. There is a glorious cluster of chesnuts, just in the rear of the university itself, which seem a kind of grand protest against all this brick and mortar and architecture which have invaded the old forests which probably once covered all this region. Nothing could be more beautiful than the splendid majesty of their billows of green in the freshness of the spring time, which seem to have been swept up from some wonderful under world, or ocean, thrown grandly into mid-air and there cnught and held and balanced by some mysterious force. There seems to me some thing very fitting about the location of the university. It stands in the busy, earnest, bustling world, the full tide of human life and action sweeping up to its very portal, and yet finding a stillness, a hush and repose in this stately grove" of trees, and in the gardens which lie in its rear. If you will pardon the fancy, you might imagine it �THE FRIEND, typified the real life of the student, or rather the student us he should be, a man among men, earnest, vigorous, ttue, sharing with them in all the experiences of heart and life, and yet having in still moments a sheltered retreat, where he can unhindered listen to the voices which come to him from the garnered wisdom of all time and ponder on the lessons, thus learned. The university building was a palace a hundred years ago or so, but in the early part of this century became a university and now has become one of the most renowned institutions of learning in Europe and the world. Of this university and ol university life and education in Germany, I hope 1 may be able to tell you something in the future. Across the avenue are statues of some of the heroes of Germany, and then comes the Opera House, and just behind it the singular church of St. Iledwig, in architecture modelled after thePantbeon in Rome. And here is die Opera Place upon which my eye rests, as™ look up from my writing. Vis-a-vis is the university with its garden at the front; on one side is the Opera House, on the other the Palace of the Emperor and the Royal Library, in the centre lies the place with its emerald turf, and flowers and shrubbery and walks. And from my window I see it all and the Linden flowing between with its stony waves and burden of human life. Truly it is a goodly out look vaulted by the azure above and I hope to be able to sketch for you many a view from my " eyrie." The library is a unique sort of a building. It is said that Frederic the Great, a man as you know full of queerest caprices, gave his architect a cabinet or chest of drawers as a model. Yet I like it on the whole and it seems good to be living so near. Just think how many neighbors I have, in that brown stone building looking so quiet and peaceful there at this noon time, from the blossoming lilacs at its base to the sculptured and silent figures on its roof! There are on its shelves and in its nooks some 900,000 volumes or so, waiting to give me welcome when ever I see fit to cross the street! Then there too are priceless manuscripts and other treasures Here is Luther's Bible and his Theses, the manuscript or score of Beethoven's 9th Symphony. But excuse me for forgetting that today we came to visit the Linden and not libraries. The Emperor's Palace joins right on to the Library. Of the interior I have told you a little something before. This is one of the central points of Berlin, to-day 1 do not see the Imperial standard flying, hence infer the Emperor is at his country palace at Babelsbery, or elsewhere near Berlin. Nearly every day you see a crowd gathered in front of the palace which is directly on the street, so that if possible they may catch some glimpse of the Emperor, who was never so popular as now. There is almost always something going on. A group of carriages with liveried servants stand waiting for their owners who are perhaps Jjeing received by the Emperor, or the Imperial carriages dash out from one side. Soldiers stand statue-like before the entrance. Directly in front of the palace and in the very centre of the Linden, stands one of the most beautiful works of art in Europe in bronze, by Kauch, the equestrian statue OCTOBER, of Frederic the Great. Never have I seen the splendid form of the horse so nobly imitated as here. The base is of polished granite, then comes an elaborate pedestal in bronze representing incidents in Prussian History, at each corner being a figure on horseback. The crowning piece of all is Frederic, represented almost with the naturalness of life, on a superb charger. The horse and royal rider, rise far up into the air and present a most majestic appearance. Looking up or down the avenue this statue is always prominent, and especially at evening when the dark bronze is set against the delicately flushed and tinted western sky, the effect is peculiarly fine. At this point the avenue, first asserts its right to its name, " Unter den Linden." Here the long rows of trees begin which in Spring and Summer give an especial charm to this promenade. I'hrough the centre is a broad way, designed alone lor those on foot so that one may walk in peace here under the sheltering shadows of the trees, while the endless procession of carriages of vehicles of all kinds, and of horsemen, pass up and down on either side. One must keep his eyes very widely open at this point. Some of the most beautiful shops and stores in Berlin display their choice treasures here. As we pass on with the swaying, ever changing and always I may say good humored crowd, we pass windows blazing with jewels and gold and silver; art stores, where choice engravings and paintings look out on the crowd below, and hint to the passers by of quiet valleys, of distant Alpine lakes, of gorgeous Oriental Interiors, of all varying phases of joy and sorrow in human life ; and here we are at the famous passage, or magnificent covered gallery passing from the Linden to a neighboring street. Here are all manner of stores and bazaars, and is one of the favorite promenades of the city in the evening, still we go on. Flower women and girls are eager to sell us dainty clusters of "lilies of the valley," wild flowers and roses. Here are stands with all the latest papers and there are wooden stands, placarded with the theatre and play bills of the evening. Here are windows of florists with the most beautiful and exquisite flowers. There is a cafe crowded with hearty, happy looking Berlin people taking their coffee or chocolate, or ices or beer. Down the avenue conies a troop of splendid soldiers, with firm and steady tread, and the air is filled for a moment with some stirring music. Sometimes it seems as if nearly every other person was in uniform, but it adds immensely to the picturesque effect. Here some carriage, with beautiful horses and livires is dashing by and from the doffing of countless hats, far down the avenue, you see that it is •the Emperor, the Crown Prince, or some distinguished or royal personage. Following in the wake of the finer private equipages come the Hroschkes, or cabs busily darting hither and thither. We pass many public buildings, and hotels, palaces of Princes and Foreign Ambassadors; to our left'stretches off the Aristocratic Wilhelmstrasse, where Bismarck and many other distinguished or wealthy public and private people live. And after this interesting and to one, who enjoys seeing a new and brilliant phase of life, profitable promenade, we 187 8. 79 - come to the Pariser Platz, surrounded by palaces and private dwellings, Sec, Sec., to the Brandenburg Gale, which, has been growing larger and larger before us, as we advanced down the Linden. This is a massive stone structure, divided up into a number of small gate ways, the central one being reserved for royal carriages. It is surmounted by a famous group in bronze, the Quadriga Victory or some symbolic figure in a chariot drawn by four horses. This was taken to Paris by the French, but was brought back to the city of Berlin in 1814. Near this fine gate, were held the impressive ceremonies connected with the return of the Emperor and army after the Franco-Prussian war, and now we have reached the end of the Linden. Beyond through the gate-way, we see the beginning of the Thier Garten, the beautiful public park of the city, now very lovely in its summer freshness. I certainly trust we may yet see this together, but perhaps today it will be necessary to close our rambles in the shadow of this old historic gate of which we have just now been speaking, and which seems to be a fitting terminus for our promenade.

Perhaps, if it would be interesting to you, another time I may give you some of the "jottings" which the journey may leave in my note-book and heart. After being away from the sea for nearly two years, living in inland cities, I am luxuriating in the sights and scenes of the great sea again. What a welcome it has for me ; what a " home-coming " the last day has been ! How good it was to see the gleam of the myriad waves, to hear the calls and cries of the sailors over the water, to smell the salt air sweeping over the waves, the sands and the sea-weed. This is a lovely island—the largest which Germany possesses. I am writing yaa from a little village on the north-eastern coast. The islanders are a simple, kindly folk, talking a quaint,rich kind of jargon, which I like to hear. The little town looks over the broadly-gleaming Baltic from its eyrie on the white cliffs. It runs and rambles down to the shore and sands in the most delightfully unceremonious fashion. It is picturesque with tiled and thatched roofs, with gardens and shrubbery, and over it broods the most delicious restful peace. How near the sea has made the " Islands " seem to me. Dear as they always are, they seem doubly dear to me to-night, by reason of this great gleaming, moonlit sea, which so strangely separates and yet at the same time joins them to me.

He has visited Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, New Zealand and Tasmania, and has held a series of meetings in the chief cities and towns of these five colonies. It is a matter for regret, though not for wonder, that at the very last he had to abandon the hope of going to South Australia by bodily prostration, after so long a strain upon his physical frame. In each of these fields of labor he received an unanimous welcome, was listened to by thousands, and was the means of reviving many Christians to a more spiritual and earnest life, and of leading many others to decide for Christ as their Saviour. Ministers and others of the different evangelical Churches have been stirred up to new zeal. Young Men's Christian Associations have been brought into prominence and very largely helped, both in their mode of working and in their means of accommodation and support. Children have everywhere been addressed at separate meetings. Christian ladies have been induced to form associations for doing good in a variety of ways."

At the Paris Exposition, the United States has been awarded a gold medal for her educational exhibit, and the highest award made to any educational journal of any country has been given to the Journal ofEducation, published in Boston. This is, indeed, a great and well deserved compliment. The grand prize of the Exposition has been given to Mr. Thomas A. Edison for the T.ost wonderful inventions of the age. Truly we have some reason to be •zroud of America. A diploma of honor has also been awarded our country for her agricultural exhibit. The French Agricultural Society offered eleven works or art as awards, and seven of these were granted to Americans. 'Che French have with difficulty been made to see that our schools for the higher education of women, as at Wellesley, Vassar and Smith Colleges, amount to much, but the wife of the Austrian juror, it is said, greatly helped in the matter. Information Wanted. Mrs. D. H. BlmrooTids, of Alta city, Washington Territory, I' 8. A., writes to the United States Conmil, asking information of her brother, John CUngensmitb, who was landed from on board of a ship on one of these Islands, with two other men, about 1860. Respecting Ebenezer Easter Hill, formerly of Buffalo, N. Y. He sailed from New Bedford as a passenger on board a whale-ship, for Sandwich Islands, about the year 1852.

S. Sabbath C. Damon preached, in the Bethel, a sermon, from which tbe following paragraphs are copied. The tejft was selected from the 2d Book .of Kings, iv. 9 : " Behold, now, I perceive tnat this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually." This Shunamite woman did not * high *pass this encomium upon Elisha for any one act of his life, but from its general tenor. He was accustomed to pass and re- * pass where she dwelt. As she observed him from day to day, his character deeply impressed her mind, and to such a degree that she said to her husband, " Let us make a little chamber, 1 pray thee, on the wall, and let us set for him there a bed and a table and a stool and a candlestick, and it shall be when he cometh to us that he shall turn in thither." What a beautiful picture of Hebrew life is here presented, and how strangely in contrast with those scenes of blood and carnage, murder and revenge, which were taking place in the surrounding country. The quiet home which Elisha found in this pious household reminds us of that chapter in the life of Watts, the greatest of sacred lyric poets of England, who found a quiet and delightful home for thirty and six years in the family of Sir Thomas Abney, of London. Lady Abney acted the part of the woman of Shunam, and no one can now tell how much the world ia indebted to Sir Thomas and Lady Abney for sheltering and caring for a poet whose " Psalms, Hymns and Spiritual Songs " are now sung by the Church Universal. The prophets of the Old Testament dispensation occupied a position and exerted nn influence among the people much the same as that held by Gospel ministers under the New Testament dispensation. All p«*ver, in heaven and upon earth, having been given unto Christ, the Great Head of the Church, he has and does still raise up to preach the Gospel, men whose talents are suited and adapted to the exigencies of each century and era. Luther, Calvin and Knox, each had his assigned place and position in Germany, Switzerland and Scotland. Whitfield, Watts and the Wesleys were admirably suited to the 18th century. The 19th century embraces the era of modern missions; and while the Churches of England and America have not wanted for Gospel ministers at home, Scores and hundreds of missionaries have been raised up and commissioned to preach the Gospel in foreign lands. About fifty ordained missionaries, with their wives, besides numerous teachers, physicians and other lay laborers, have come to these Islands since the establishment of the American Mission here in 1820. Nearly sixty years have since passed away, and of course most of the early missionaries have been called to their account, while many of those coming at subsequent periods have also been catted from the scenes of their earthly toils and labors. Within a few months, a Gulick, a Greene, a Clarke, an Andrews, have been numbered among the departed, and now the name of the Rev. Daniel Dole is added to the list. No one of the American missionaries was better known in this community and to this congregation, ' 1878. as he has frequently—perhaps more frequently than any other—occupied this pulpit. For nearly forty years has he resided on the Islands, and more than one-half of that period in Honolulu, and when not residing here he was wont to visit this city and preach in our pulpits and speak in our social religious meetings. The language of the Shunamite woman respecting Elisha would not inaptly apply to Mr. Dole : " Behold, now, 1 perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually." He has been passing by us and associating with us lor a whole generation, having commenced his labors at Punahou in 1841, 37 years ago. If we had lived in the days of Elisha, and become intimately acquainted with him as a Prophet of the Lord, and at the head of the School of the Prophets, I do not suppose we should have found him to have been a perfect man, without errors or defects, yet he might be styled a holy man of God." Thus our departed "brother Dole, while I am far from holding forth his character as perfect—as spotless, without defect—yet I do not hesitate to speak of him as '• a holy man of God." This character was acquired, not by any one brilliant and specially noble and prominent act of his lite or event in his career, but from a long course of consistent well-doing. His uniform conduct from day to day and year to year, until the close of life, impressed the minds of those familiarly acquainted with hiiu that he was a holy-minded Christian man and minister of the Gospel. He was a studious, scholarly and reading man. Although not a linguist of the first class, yet he was a good Latin, Greek, French, Hebrew scholar, and, for literary and critical purposes, acquainted with other languages. He del'ghted to employ his learning in explaining and interpreting the Sacred Scriptures. As a teacher of the* ancient classics —Latin and Greek—there are now living many of his pupils who ever delight to honor his memory as their teacher at Punahou. As a preacher, he was peculiarly instructive and searching, »nd the hearer passed out from listening to every one of his discourses impressed with the solemnity and sacredness of Christian worship. In many respects his style of preaching and general discourse would fill out that ideal" preacher portrayed by the poet Cowper in his Task : " '• I would express bim siwple. grave, sincere ; Id doctrine uncorriipt ; in lnngnnco plain. And plain in manner; decent, soli'inn. chaste, And natural in gesture ; much impressed Himself, as conscious of his awful charge. And anxious in.tinly that the Hock he leeds May feel it too." Often has he preached in this pulpit, but never without leaving the abiding impression upon the hearer's mind that he was a holy man of God." Whether true or false, "the charge has been brought forward against some who came to these Islands as missionaries, that they became too much absorbed in politics or worldly enterprize. I feel quite sure no such charge was ever even whispered respecting our departed friend and brother. There was a certain stately air in his walk and intercourse with society which indicated, that the Puritan element had not become extinct in the latter half of the 19th century. There was more than enough in his general life and character to convince the observer that Macaulay's well-known portraiture of the Puritan character, in his famous article upon Milton, was no fancy sketch : " The Puritans were men whose minds had derived a peculiar character from the daily contemplation of superior beings and eternal interests. Not content with acknowledging, in general terms, an over-ruling Providence, they habitually ascribed every event to the will of the Great Being, for whose power nothing was too vast, for whose inspection nothing was too minute. To know Him, to serve Him, to enjoy Him, was with them the great end of existence. If their names were not fours*) m the registers of heralds, they wore recorded" in the Book of* Life." I regard it as an unspeakable privilege to have been on the most intimate and familiar terms of Christian friendship with such a Christian scholar, minister and friend as the Rev. Daniel Dole, during the period of more than one-third of a century. I have known of his being placed in circumstances of trial and affliction, and at one period called to resign a position which many believed him peculiarly well qualified to fill, but I cannot now recall one bitter and acrimonious remark iell from his lips. It requires more principle and nobleness of character to step gracefully down* from a position of trust than to assume its responsibilities. Our friend has passed away, and we shall see him no more passing in and out before us, but his name and memory will ever be cherished by those who delight to keep fresh in their minds the lives and characters of good and holy men. Upon the minds of the first generation of the children of the American missionaries to these Islands he has left an indelible impression for good, while the community aff Lrge derived a lasting influence from his holy walk and godly conversation. All who knew him in life could join in the words of the woman of Shunam in saying, " Behold, now, I perceive that this is an holy man of God, which passeth by us continually," but no longer will he pass by us here on earth, for he has passed onward and upward, to join the company of the Redeemed in glory. " Tbou art gone to the grave! we no longer behold thee. • Nor tread tbe rough paths of the world by tby side; Bui the wide arms ot mercy are spread to enfold thee, And sinners may hope, for Ilie Sinless has died." We clip the following from the Australian Witness. The Rev. Dr. MacEachran made us a passing call. It affords us much pleasure to meet clergymen as they pass and repass on the Australian steamers. As in California, so in the Australian Colonies, overwork disables many able and efficient Gospel laborers : " The Rev. D. S. MacEachran, of St. Andrew's Church, Victoria, was presented with a purse of £273, to meet the expenses of a voyage home for the benefit of his health. Dr. Cairns presided at a large meeting on the occasion. Mr. MacEachran is now in Sydney, and it is a matter of regret that a minister so highly respected and so gifted is unable to officiate among us prior to his departure by the mail. We trust that by the blessing of God he may be restored to a measure of health and usefulness." �Tll ft FRIEND, ADVERTISEMENTS. Places of Worship. 83 1878. OCTOBER, SAILORS' HOME !

Bat we do not know of a better one, and just what we do mean may be gathered from the sequel. To try your best, in an emergency, to supply needed service, even although you have not had the usual training and experience,—this is one thing. To come forward in an organised community and represent yourself as fully competent for a responsible position, when you are not, is another thing altogether, and is what we have in mind just now.
