Persons recently arriving on the islands ask, what is the meaning of Hawaiian Independence? Why is the 28th of November observed as a holiday? It came about in this wise. Forty years ago, on the 28th of November, 1843, England and France, by their highest official representatives in the city of London, signed the following-official declaration published in the Friend of May Ist, 1844, because this was the only English newspaper printed in this kingdom. By referring to the pa[>erofthat date this document will be found printed in English, French and Hawaiian languages: DECLARATION. Her Majesty, the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, and His Majesty, the King of the French, taking into consideration the existence in the Sandwich Islands of a Government capable of providing for the regularity of its relations with Foreign Nations, have thought it right to engage, reciprocally, to consider the Sandwich Islands as an Independent State, and never to take possession, neither directly or under the title of Protectorate, or under any other form, of any part of the Territory of which they are composed. The undersigned, Her Britannic Majesty's Principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Ambassador Extraordinary of His Majesty, the King of the French, at the Court of London, being furnished with the necessary powers, hereby declare, in consequence, that their said Majesties take reciprocally that engagement. In witness whereof, the undersigned have signed the present declaration, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms. Done, in duplicate, at London, the twenty-eighth day of November, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and forty-three. (Signed), Aberdeen, l. s. St. Aulaike. The above document may be styled the Hawaiian Declaration of Independence, although it is merely a solemn declaration on the part of England and France "reciprocally to consider the Sandwich Islands as an Independent State, and never to take possession neither directly nor under the title of a protectorate, or under any other form, of any part of the territory of which they are composed." This solemn declaration has, for the period of forty years, been solemnly observed There is no doubt that this mutual declaration on the part of England and France, grew out of the mutual jealousy between the two great nations, for each had encroached upon the independence of this island kingdom. France had come and taken away $20,000 in 1839, and England had taken away their flag in February, 1843, but both nations subsequently restoredwhat they had taken. England restored the flag on the 31st of July, 1843, and France restored the money in 1845, These results were brought about by patient and long protracted negotiations, and recently Mr. Marshall's article entitled "An Unpublished Chapter in Hawaiian History," published in Harper's Monthly, related to this subject. To show how important and binding this document has been, we have but to refer to the visit of a French ship of war in August, 1849, when the commander came on shore with a company ofmarines and sailors, spiked the guns of the fort and flourished about generally for several days, and then returned on shipboard, but he was very careful not to haul down the Hawaiian flag. Her commander requested Governor Kekuanoao to lower the flag, but the shrewd governor replied that if he wished the flag hauled down he must do it himself. [See Mr. Wylie's Protest in Friend for September, 1849.] It was a pet project on the part of the friends of Hawaiian Independence, to have secured the United States Government to join in this Declaration of Independence published above. There is a traditional saying of the Honourable Daniel Webster, then Secretary of State*, to whom the Hawaiian Commissioners applied for his signature to stand beside those of Aberdeen and St. Aulaire, which is worth preserving. Said Mr. Webster, I do not see why, as Secretary of State, I should attach my name to any such document. The United States has no occasion to guarantee that it will not take what does not belong to them. When we want land we buy and pay for it." If the great nations had always observed that rule there surely would have been much less war and bloodshed. We trust that the Hawaiian kingdom, which has maintained its independence for the last forty years, may continue to do so for forty and more years to come. Its perpetuity depends upon its moral integrity and its strength upon its honest purpose to do right by all " classes and nationalities within itsrealm. Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." " JUSTIFICATION BY FAITH ALONE, AND PURGATORY. Many persons are bewildered in their ideas upon the Doctrine of Justification by Faith, and wonder that so much stress should have been placed upon it by Luther and all adopting Luther's views upon this subject. This was the pivot upon which the whole scheme of the Lutheran Refoimation turned. Luther was utterly opposed to the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory and of praying for the dead. We copy the following paragraph, from the October, Number of the "Biblo-theca Sacra":—" There is a very extensive misapprehension respecting the Catholic doctrine of Purgatory, and the practice of Catholics of praying for the dead. From much which has of late appeared in print, it would seem that the idea is prevalent that the Catholic doctrine of purgatory in some way softens their belief respecting eternal punishment. This however is by no means the case. The Catholic doctrine of purgatory has relation to the doctrine of eternal punishment. Puris for the of the gatory purification and in the Catholic ; regenerate system the belief in purgatory is made necessary by their rejection of justification by faith. The Protestant doctrine that through faith sinners are justified freely by God's grace, leaves no room for purgatory. A GOOD RESULT TO BE DERIVED FROM THE CELEBRATION OF THE LUTHER COMMEMORATION. It will necessarily lead to historical and doctrinal reading. Of course, political writers will see much in this subject for comment relating to the history of Europe during the past 400 years, but the great benefit to be derived from this celebration of Luther's birthday, will be that, thereby the people will take to reading the history of religious and doctrinal subjects. The ]>eople, in other words will stop and think, why all this movement, this discussion, this controversy, this battle of opinions ? The Revision of the English Bible, led to Bible reading and Bible study, while Lutheran commemoration will lead to historical and doctrinal reading and study. Go to God as a sinner, if you question your right to go in any other character; he always receiveth sinners. �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER THE HOME OF MARTIN LUTHER. BY REV. P. N. ZEBRISKIE, D. D. Luther's home at Wittemberg was a 1883. He was throughly contented with his lot, and overflowed continually with thankfullness and keen enjoyment of God's most commons and daily mercies. The world, withersoever he turned his eyes, was full of miracles, miracles of mercy which the blind world |>eceives not, but whereat those who love God " raptuously rejoice and cannot enough wonder and praise. " The union of love and fear which he felt towards God as his Father is illustraied in the following, which is characteristic as it is charming, and illustrative of his own paternal relations with his children. " When lam sitting and writing, my little son Hans sometimes sings a little song to me, the while ; if he makes it too loud I tell him so, and then he still sings on, but makes it softer, crowing on with a sweet little subdued voice, slyly watching me all the time.

He supplied his own table with vegetables and fruit, and —what was considered quite as important—with flowers. He boasts of his melons, squashes and cucumbers, and he writes to a friend that he " shall be crowned with roses " if he will come •and see him. There was one gift which he said he could never decline —seeds for his garden. He constructed arbors, and kept a pretty fountain playing in the midst of"the garden. In that home he was himself its '• fountain of joy. He had his fits of depression, for his health was never good, his labors was exhausting, and his responsibilities crushing; but le seldom showed' them there.

Sweet friend, your feet have reached the shining land That lies 'twixt daylight's realms and shadowy night; The soft warm tints of sunset tint the strand. And all the air around is liquid light. Afar, you trace the long and devious HayGod knew 'twas best, that He your steps should guide, Till close beside the portals of the day You tarry now, for them to open wide. Like pearls thick strewn, the milestones glistening stand— Rare five amlcighty, granted to hut few— While memories dear, a holy cherished hand, Around each one are clustered, ever new. Sometimes upon the mountain's breezy height, With glad and bouyant heart, your steps rung clear; Sometimes within the valleys low, by night, With breaking heart, oft tremblingand in fear, You staggered 'neath the heavy load you bore. But God's own hand through light[aiul shade held fast, And vale and mountain, plain and ocean o'er, The quiet eventide is reached at last. Lo Ihere, while tints on earth anil sky increase In glowing beauty, Heaven is nearer grown; The very air itself is full of peace; Your path with sweetest blessings now b strewn.

The loved ones, whom God led a nearer way. To the fair home we hope to gain at last, Who, climbing some sharp crags of pain, one day, With rapture found their sojourn here was past, Are waiting, where the deeper twilight lies, In patience, till your long sweet day is spent, To bear you upward, through the shining skies, To dwell forever with the Lord, content. But loving hearts that beat on every side, Would fain prolong this lovely sunset hour Through many years, Oh! may you long abide The cherished presencein your earthly bower. And when the soft still hush of twilight falls. And your dear busy hands consent to rest, We never can efface from memory's walls, Your beautiful calm sojourn in the West.

Durant was the most distinguished lawyer in miscellaneous practice in Boston Mass. He had succeeded to very much of the business of Rufus Choate, then recently deceased, and though by no means the eloquent man that was Mr. Choate, he was more fertile in expedients for gaining cases, and Many was more seldom defeated. great cases and hard cases were put into his hands to conduct, and his reputation in the management of the most desperate criminal trials was His income was enormous, great. and in the midst of this flush of prosperity he chanced upon a suit in which he made a colossal fortune at one stroke. It was a case in which was involved patent or appliance connected with the manufacture of India rubber blankets. He gained the case, and took his pay in India rubber stock. It was plain that this was to be good property, and Mr. Durant was so convinced of it that, in connection with a few other gentlemen, he purchased all the rubber blanket stock in the country, and held in his hands the patent essential to the manufacture. Besides, right on the heels of this the war broke out, and brought with it a call for India rubber blankets for the army that was almost without limit. But now occurred an event which wrought a complete revolution in the man, and changed the entire course of his life. His son, an interesting young man, to whom he was devotedly attached, suddenly died. The father was deeply affected, and with the occurrence the world seemed to have lost all its attractions to him. He left his old course of life, united with the orthodox Congregationalist church of his neighborhood, and began himself the life of an evangelist. Never was a man more earnest and devoted. Abandoning the law forever, and retaining his connection with business only to obtain money for Christian ends, he has labored early and late since that period —for now several years—in Christian work. He lectures and preaches whenever a call for him, and he gives his time to missionary effort often when not speaking. A few years ago, he he projected Wellesley College.

"THE HAWAIIAN MONTHLY." We have long thought that there was needed a Monthly or Quarterly, somewhat different from any publication now issued in Honolulu. Perhaps Dr. Roguis will supply the public demand. Our weeklies and dailies are too ephemeral. Our monthlies are too limited in their range of discussion. I )r. Rogers seems to have a good idea, and wo shall be glad to see it carried out. The old Hawaiian Spectator, was published Quarterly, but it was really one of the best publications ever printed in Honolulu, and yet it appeared in 1838, and 1839. It is now quoted as authority, and only recently Prof. Bryce, referred to it in our hearing, as a most admirable publication. The reading public desires something of the same nature, more solid and thoughtful than much issuing from the Hawaiian Press ; we have good writing talent in our foreign community, and shall hope to see it utilized. If I )r. Rogers succeeds in calling forth this talent, and combines it with his own, then the Hawaiian Monthly, may prove a '" Saturday Review," or " Nation." Setter*. A M E L L I M.

It calls for a very heavy strain upon the principal speaker, Mr. Cruzan, who does not omit his Sabbath morning or evening service at the Fort Street Church. Good results have already accrued and we trust even better are While we earnestly urge to follow. attendance upon the regular places of religious worship, yet there is still need of urging men and women to attend upon these extra services. The above list of texts and themes will indicate the character of the preaching. "Come one, come all," and Christian workers could not be more usefully employed on a Sabbath morning than in visiting the boarding houses, restaurants, and the wharves, and inviting strangers and non-church goers to at tend the regular Sabbath services in our churches and the Y.

Scarcely a Sabbath has tome around when public services have been omitted. (Probably this chapel has been closed during the half century as lew Sabbaths as any other house of public worship on our globe.) From such enquiries as I have made, Mrs. Joseph Carter is the only person now living in Honolulu who was present on the day of dedication. Only four days previously on the 24th of November—she was united in marriage with Captain Joseph O. Carter, by the Rev. John Diell. Outside the Missionary circle, this was the first marriage between two foreigners that was ever solemnized so' far as I am able to learn. The Rev. John Diell officiated as chaplain, from his arrival until December, 1840, when he embarked with his family, in consequence of his protracted ill health, and died at sea, January 18, 1841. During his long continued sickness and decline, he made a voyage around the globe, the Rev. Mr. Tinker officiating as chaplain during his absence, to the great acceptance of the foreign community. F'rom all I have been able to learn respecting Mr. [Hell's labors, be was a most excellent chaplain and faithful gospel minister. He was abundant in labor for both seamen and the foreign community. As the pioneer chaplain, bis memory deserves to be kept in continual remembrance. A monument to his memory was erected in Nuuanu Cemetery by the order of his widow in 1052. She still survives, enjoying years of happiness among her children and grandchildren, and a wide circle of friends in the States of New York and Virginia. Only a few days since I received a letter from her, written in her usual cheery and hopeful tone, at the age ot 76. She was expecting to spend the winter in Hamilton, New York, where resides her youngest daughter, married to Rev. P. M. Spear, I).I)., Professor of Greek and Hebrew in Madison University. Her other three daughters have all been well married. These four daughters were born in Honolulu. One of her grandsons graduated from a college in Virginia, and is now a professor in a western college, and two other grandsons are preparing for college. It affords me great satisfaction to be able thus to refer to a family, so intimately con- Board, that I was transferred to the American Seamen's Friend So< iety. that 1 was ordained as an evangelist, in my native plate, September 16, 1841, and embarked trom New York with my wile lor Honolulu, on the io'li March, 1842 ; and it has been by keeping this aim in view that for over forty years I have been preaching the gospel from this pulpit and been labouring among seamen and foreign residents of Honoiutu. It was on the 7th of November, 1841, in Dr. Spring's church, in ihe city of New York that I received my instructions. The Rev. Dr. Armstrong, one of the secretaries of the American Hoard, who was afterwards lost in the ill-fated steamer Atlantic in Long Island Sound, and the Rev. Dr. Spaulding, of the SeaThe man s Friend Society, were the speakers on that occasion. addresses of both these gentlemen made it plain that I was about to go forth as a missionary chaplain. But these gentleman made prominent the idea that the success of Gospel preaching among the heathen, was essentially promoted by the gathering of churches among foreigners and the preaching of the Gospel among seamen. "At this hour," remarked Dr. Armstrong, "the most formidable obstacle to the entrance of the Gospel in large portions of the heathen world, grows out of the wrongs inflicted and the mis chief wrought by ungodly men bearing the Christian name. Pass along the dark shores of benighted Africa visit the countless islands of Oceanica ; and you will find the sad illustrations of this remark." Dr. Spaulding. in delivering my instructions, thus remarked. "The particular field of your labors will be the port 0/ Honolulu ; and the special objects of your solicitude, prayers, and efforts will be the sons of the ocean. There, in that commercial and central position between the coasts of Asia and America, you are to stand erect as a minister of Jesus Christ. With the foreign residents you will be expected to maintain a kind and courteous intercourse ; and if they shall lie disposed to attend iqion your ministry you will watch for their souls as one that must give an account. At Honolulu you will be a citizen still of the land that gave you birth, and entitled to its civil protection.
