With this No., closes another volume of The Friend. Having, as in former years furnished our readers with XII Nos., we trust our subscribers will promptly pay their bills when presented. In addition this year, we have added 4 eight-paged supplements, hence our subscribers can not complain that we have not fully fulfilled our promise at the commencement of the year. Payment may be made to Mr. Dunscombe, or the Publisher. Subscribers on the other islands will please enclose the amount of their subscriptions, and receipted bills will be returned. If any errors, please communicate the Publisher. THANKSGIVING. This year the celebration of the American thanksgiving occurring on the same day as the celebration of St. Andrews, both Americans and Englishmen joined heartily in the observance on the 30th of November. Services were held in Fort-street Church and St. Andrew's Cathedral, the Rev. J. A Cruzan preaching in the former and the Rev. Mr. Mackintosh in the latter place. Audiences good in both places. Full reports of the same have appeared in both our daily and weekly papers. We would acknowledge from the Rev. E. Bond, Kohala, two boxes of books ond magazines, for gratuitous distribution, under the direction of the Y. M. C. A In our island papers we have met with certain poetic effusions which will be found on another page of this issue of the Friend, It is refreshing to know that we have in our island community, not a few really good versifiers. Some might value a ton of sugar far above a verse of poetry, but every thing in its proper place ; hence we would encourage the writers of verses to contribute for island papers, "rhyme and reason " may go together.

An artesian well on the premises furnishes an abundant supply of pure water. The grounds are tastefully laid out and system and order everywhere prevail. The Royal Hawaiian Band —an excellent one—of twentytwo pieces, led by Professor Berger, often entertains the guests at the hotel—and the many others who occupy the verandah on such occasions—in the evenings, from a large pavilion erected at the side of the main entrance to the grounds. Four carriage drives lead from the hotel to each of the streets before mentioned, and hacks may be had at any time. Communication can also be had with every part of the city as well as dis'ant parts of Oahu by connections with the telephone system which communicates with all public buildings, leading stores and other places of importance, as well as the residences of many citirens. We have received and read with interest the XXII Report of the San Francisco Port Society. We rejoice in learning, that labors in behalf of Seamen are so energetically put forth. For more than thirty years, the Rev. J. Rowell has there labored as Chaplain, with gratifying success. We often meet seamen who testify to the spiritual benefit derived from coming under his influence. The Seamen's cause in S.

A. �123 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER 1882 DWIGHT LYMAN MOODY, the lay Evangelist, was born in the town of Northfield, Mass., on the sth of February, 1837. He came of the old Puritan stock, his father's and mother's families being numbered among the earliest settlers of that state. His father, Edwin, owned a comfortable farm-house just without the town, and a few acres of stony land, the whole encumbered by a mortgage. When the building trade was brisk, he worked as a stone mason, and his leisure hours he spent in cultivating his little farm. But his spirit was crushed by reverses in business, and he died suddenly after an illness of a few hours. Dwight was then only four year old, but the shock of that death made an impression on him which he declares he has not forgotten. This blow was followed by the birth of a twin boy and girl a few weeks later. Thus Mrs. Moody was burdened with the care of seven sons, and two daughters, of whom the eldest boy was only aged fifteen. Yet this widowed mother refused to part with any of her little brood. She bravely set about caring for them all, and contrived to have the little hands earn something for their support, by tilling the garden and doing odd jobs for the neighbors. She taught them every day a little Bible lesson, and also accompanied them to the Unitarian church and Sundayschool. Another sorrow came on the bereaved family, through the oldest boy becoming a runaway. We give Moody's description of this incident, as he told it in England, and because of the insight it gives into his home life. "I can give you a little experience of my own family. Before I was four years old the first thing I remember was the death of my father. He had been unfortunate in business, and failed. Soon after his death the creditors came in and took everything. My mother was left with a large family of children. One calamity after another swept over the entire household. Twins were added to the family, and my mother was taken sick. The eldest boy was fifteen years of age, and to him my mother looked as a stay in her calamity, but all at once that boy became a wanderer. He had been reading some of the trashy novels, and the belief had seized him that he had only to go away to' make a fortune. Away he went. I can remember how eagerly she used to look for tidings of that boy; how she used to send us to the jiostoflfice to see if there was a letter from him, and recollect how we used to come back with the sad news, No letter." I remember how in the evenings we used to sit beside her in that New England home, and we would talk about our father; but the moment the name of that boy was mentioned she would hush us into silence. Some nights when the wind was very high, and the house, which was upon a hill, would tremble at every gust, the voice " of my mother was raised in prayer for that wanderer who had treated her so unkindly. I used to think she loved him more than all of us put together, and I believe she did. On a Thanksgiving day—you know that is a family day in New England—she used to set a chair for him, thinking he would return home. Her family grew up and her boys left home. When I got so that I could write, I sent letters all over the country, but could find no trace of him. One day while in Boston, the news reached me that he had returned. While in that city, I remember how I used to look for him in every store—he had a mark on his face —but I never got any trace. One day while my mother was sitting at the door, a stranger was seen coming toward the house, and when he came to the door he stopped. My mother didn't know her boy. He stood there with folded arms and great beard flowing down his breast, his tears trickling down his face. When my mother saw those tears she cried, "Oh, it's my lost son," and entreated him to come in. But he stood still. "No, mother," he said, "I will not come in until I hear first that you have forgiven me." Do you believe she was not willing to forgive him ? Do you think she was likely to keep him long standing there. She rushed to the threshold, threw her arms around him, aud breathed forgiveness." L. S. Rcmtap's Life. been a favorite calling place for vessels which visit the north Pacific It required this moral ]>ower to instruct the natives and to resist the immoral influences which often prevails in those distant seas, where there is no government Undoubtedly many good men engaged in commerce and other pursuits were there; but it required a distinct class, whose whole duty it was to educate the natives and to be an example and teacher to foreigners. They had great trials and great labor in the first year of their mission. They went to carry the (iospel to a people of whose language they had no knowledge, and whose ideas, habits, manners and customs were, in many respects, abhorrent to their Christian civilization. You can imagine how slow this process must have been, and the almost s]K'cial grace needed to prosecute the work. It was a great triumph to save the nation, and to have brought it within the family of nations which was so important to Christian civilizatiou, and to the commerce of the world, and more es|iecially of the United States. How encouraging to all men is the fact that the American Board has within itself a progressive jxiwer, so that the educated Hawaiian is now engaged in missionary labor in distant islands. May the work go bravely on, till the Christian religion shall pervade the world and influence the nations for -— universal peace. MEETING OF THE A. B. C. F. M.

Hawaiian Legation, | Washington, Sept. 26, 1882. j My Dear Sir:—l have had the pleasure to receive your note of the 20th inst., inviting me to be present at the meeting of the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions in Portland, on the third of October. I regret exceedingly that I shall be unable to be present on that occasion, for I have a very high appreciation of the great work which the board have accomplished No one can fully appreciate it unless by a visit to that country, which has been blessed by its labors. I went to the Sandwich Islands in 1850, and resided there till 1877, with occasional visits to the United States on special missions for the government. I was for twenty years Chief Justice and Chancellor of the kingdom, and had occasion to visit often the different islands of the group. I became intimately acquainted with the missionaries and the people in their charge. They were a self-denying and devoted class of men, and the ladies of the mission rendered great aid in the good work. The mission was established fortunate period The islands, from their geographical position, have always j.

I did not spare the system of thought of Mr. Sen; but I confess I admire the man. If Theism is put forward as complete in itself, and as a rival to Christianity, it must of course be criticised; but I think that Mr. Sen himself, as distinct from his scheme of theology, is to be treated with tenderness, and deserves the prayers of the Christian Church. He calls himself a Uni-Trinitarian, but I find myself compelled to classify him at present as a Quaker-Unitarian in a Hindoo dress. He has a doctrine of the Inner Light that remains one of the best of the Quaker mystics; but his views of the person of our Lord are certainly not more nearly orthodox than Channing's. I was surprised to hear that he had never read Liddon's Bampton Lectures on the divinity of our Lord, and I gave him a copy of the volume. He depends for his knowledge of religious truth on religious exercises continued through three, four, and sometimes five houas a day. I thoroughly believe him to be an honest and devout man. My feeling is, not that he should pray less, but that he should study more. INFORMATION WANTED.

Any school, seminary or college, which aims to give its pupils a good, sound and thorough education, but ignores the Christian element, in that education, we deem as a one-sided and defective affair. Such training, as the pupil receives in those schools which ignore God and the Bible, may impart a certain amount of scientific knowledge, but the pupils higher and nobler nature is dwarfed, belittled, starved; hence we hail with delight the building up Christian schools, academies and col- TRIALS OF THE PRESENT TIME. on leges. Some twenty years ago, Dr. and Mrs. Mills were laboring at Oahu College, and the institution flourished under their management. Perhaps no class ever graduated from this institution, superior to the one, the year they retired. Having for so many years, observed their efforts at Oahu College, Benecia and now at their own Seminary, it is with special delight, we refer to their present prosperity. "While on a recent tour through California, Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Dodge, of New York City, spent some time visititing Mills Semenary, in which they exhibited a deep interest. Mrs. Dodge has given a tangible expression to this interest by a donation of $2,000 for the purpose of founding a scholarship. This is the seventh scholarship endowed in this institution. The others are William Raymond scholarship, $5,000; the Orrin Sage scholarship, $2000; the James Williamson scholarship, $2,500; the William H. Bailey scholarship, $3,--000; the M. S. Percy scholarship, $3,--000. The parties were respectively of San Francisco, Ware (Mass.) New York City, Sandwich Islands and Oakland." A MISSIONARY'S GOLDEN WED DING.

Not only in general supervision of the work in our midst, but of the work that comes to us from outside. Nearly every mail brings some request for our attention. A mother, through the the secretary of some foreign association, seeks after her boy. Some knowledge of his whereabouts is wanted. He was last heard from two years ago as on Hawaii. Can we not look up the matter ? Again we are notified of the expected arrivals of vessels, which will certain ones abroad whom we must hunt up, and to whom we are to give especial attention. Requests of otherkinds come in. But they cannot always get their due care and attention, because we have no General Secretary, who makes it his business to look after them. This is not meant to discourage our friends abroad from sending in their requests. As it is, the President and Recording Secretary and the other officers, do the best they can, though it is not what they could wish. ced, and I was not so able to appreciate and enjoy it as I would like." The gentleman's watch must have been about 15 or 20 minutes fast. I time every opening service, and they are generally about 35 minutes long. But taking the gentleman's own time, an able bodied member of the Y. M. C.
