Enterprise among the Chinese. / Was there ever a people so utterly oblivious to outside criticism as the Chinese ? While by many the gravest doubts are expressed in regard to their fitness as settlers on the islands, and people of almost every other clime are preferred before them, they pursue their destined way with the most philosophic calmness, deeming a growing prosperity in rice-field or shop the most potent weapon of defense. Whatever may be their merits, or demerits as colonists, there has been of late a movement made by some in the right direction, namely, to form an association which shall ultimately bring its members within the range of Christian influences. There are in California similar organizations, though this promises to be even more comprehensive in its scope. The idea originated among our Christian Chinese who desire to bring the gospel to their countrymen. Though no definite plans have yet been formed, it is proposed in time to procure a house, to offer instruction in evening classes, to endeavor to form a pleasant social center for all those who may see fit to join, and to assist any of those members who may be in need. The proposition has met with much favor among the better portion of the Chinese, and several hundred dollars have already been pledged. The undertaking is certainly a noble one, and we trust it may prove a success,// We would acknowledge the receipt of papers for diatribution from Mr. S. B. Dole, Mr. Pratt and Mr P.

Boston, February, 1876. dear My Mr. Damon: If there be such a thing as dissipated church going, I think we were guilty of it yesterday, for we attended, or at least 1 did three full services. Our first was with the Catholics at the Cathedral of the Holy Cross. This church is on Washington street. The exterior though not quite finished, is very handsome, and the interior There is no carpet is chaste and beautiful. on the floor. A length of drugget from door to altar softens the fall of the foot. The windows, with the exception of two near the altar, are of plain ground glass. The floor of the chancel is covered with a plain green carpet relieved by one of crimson on the steps leading to the altar. The altar itself, is of different colored marble, and is a model of taste. There are no stiff" muslin flowers here, nor excruciating crucifixes, but a simple gold cross stands on the top of the altar with the usual number of candles. There are pictures on either hand of the main altar, and a colored window behind it, but no images are to be seen anywhere. When we got to the Cathedral, the services had begun, and the large room was apparently filled, but the usher found seats for us after waiting a little while. An Irish priest, whose name I did not learn, preached the sermon. He seemed an educated man, and was fluent of speech and graceful in his gestures, but his sermon was more a product of the imagination than of the profounder faculties of the mind. After entering the pulpit, which stood well out into the body of the church, he read bans of marriage, followed by requests for prayers for the souls of several deceased persons whose names be read. The prayers were at once said, then came the scripture lesson,—the parable of the wheat and tares,—and the parable was the text of the sermon, which was against the sin of scandal. The audience gave the speaker good attention. The congregation was decidedly Irish, and many of them evidently servants. The mass was celebrated by Bishop Williams with many assistants. At 3 o'clock we went with the Baptists to Tremont Temple. The large hall was crowded, and many were standing unable to lind seats. The large number present— urprised me, but 1 was assured it was not ittall uncommon—indeed it was so every Sunday. The pastor of this church is Dr. Lorimer, who it is said was once an actor, and his manner of giving two fine quotations from Shakspeare this afternoon would certainly give credit to the report. There is a good choir hpre, who fang with good ■ fleet, " He inclined unto inc." Prayer — : 35 1876. was followed by the large congregation joining heartily in singing " Work for the night is coming." Next a prayer, reading of the scripture, and another hymn, then the sermon. The subject was modern miracles; the text Mat. 7. 22. The sermon was sound and earnest, though the delivery was certainly dramatic. The difference, between our Lord's miracles, and the so-called miracles of the Roman church and of modern spiritualism was shown. The minicles of the Saviour were wrought for the good and real benefit of man, or in demonstrationof Christ's power,—the Roman priests pretended miracles were only to bind the deceived people faster by the chain of superstition to the Roman church. In one breath with the last word of the sermon came the benediction and the large crowd at once began to go out. Our third church was the Arlington St. Unitarian. The Rev. Edward Everett Hale took the place of the pastor for the evening, giving one of a series of sermons, called to suit the times " revival sermons." The Boston spirit is thoroughly expressed in this church edifice. It is built in the old fashioned way, high box pews, high pulpit and galleries on three sides In the centre of the crimson hanging at the back of the pulpit is a cross in carved wood, corresponding with the wood of the pulpit which, I think is oak. Above the arch are the words " One Lord, the Father," below " One Lord, Jesus Christ." The congregation was entirely different from the other two wo had seen. It was small, quiet and thoughtful. The service began with a voluntary by the choir, and was after the usual order of the service in congregational churches. Mr. Hale read the lust three verses of the 2nd chapter and part of the third chapter of John, taking for his text " We speak that we do know and testify that we have seen. His subject was personal religion,. Mr. Hale had heard Mr. Moody preach from this text reee'ntly. Mr. H. did not so much discuss the text as enforce it, and he grasped at once the central idea of it, s\/,. he must be born from above which is the literal translation of the text. Mr. Hale went on to say that some of Mr. Moody's statements were true and some were not. He should not take issue with him, but should try to present the truth taught in the text and context. The idea of regeneration, which' so many Christians believe this text supports, the idea of an instantaneous change from brutishness to godliness was the merest nonsense, an insult to God's nature. It had come largely from the printed version that a man must he born again. Physical and spiritual growth were precisely similar, illustrated by the growth of seed. The seed did not grow to maturity in an instant of time, a man would not believe that for he knew better, neither would he believe it of his spiritual nature. The so-called regeneration is a growth, a development, nourished and strengthened by the soul's communion with God. It begins almost as soon as the first momeutofconsciousnessand is continued through eternity. How could a preacher make his people understand this spiritual life, this soul-life. Prove it says the sceptical world, but the answer must always be try it and see for yourselves. "We speak that we do know" is the language of every Christian. He had tried the experiment of walking with God and had succeeded, he had always found help from above. Besides these churches, we have been to hear Mr. Murray at Music Hall, Phillips Brooks at Huntington Hall, School of Technology, Mr. Gordon at Clamdeon St. Church and have visited the new Old South. This latter church is sail to be one of the finest in America. When we visited it near the close of the afternoon services, wr went among many others who were going to see it, and to see is to admire. If one might venture to criticise he would say the style of architecture is too elaborate. There is no debt on this church. Fancy our Puritan fathers worshiping in such a building, but I am glatl the time has come when E. H. MC. there children may. " The Passion Flower." The statement made in the following extract may be of interest to some who have perhaps before regarded with but little attention this blossom growing in rank profusion over house and garden ; while the fanciful and yet beautiful symbolism may renderthe flower an evangel of hope to us all as we shall note hereafter its divine and exquisite mechanism. Some one has lately said of the dandelion seed, " as it floats through the air with its seed hanging like a miniature car frem its finely spread balloon, it would seem to be enough to cut up all atheism by the roots." So we doubtwhether there is any one who can thoughtfully examine the " Passion Flower," or the still more wonderful and beautiful " Flower of the Holy Ghost," "a blossom from the Tree of Life, shaken over the wall by a breeze from heaven," and say " There is no God :" When the Spaniards discovered South America they saw. amongst other plants new to them, a climbing shrub, having from two to three fruit-bearing flowers, unlike any they had ever seen. One day a priest was preaching to the Peruvians, or aboriginal inhabitants, amidst the wild scenery of their native forests. His subject was the Passion of Our Lord. His eye suddenly glanced at this curious flower, which hung in festoons from the trees overhead, and he saw a vivid picture of thesad story of Calvary. The rings of threads which surround the cup of the flower, and which arc mottled with blue, crimson, and white, suggested the crown of thorns, stained with blood, to his mind, tutored by meditation ; the five anthers, on the stamens, represented the five wounds; the three styles, the nails which fixed Our Blessed Lord to the Cross. " So, without Bibles or books, did this holy man instruct his converts on the Passion; and to this day our beautiful creeping garden flower is called " The Passion Flower." In all languages it bears the same name." " �36 THE FRI E Ml THE FRIEND, MAY Y. 1876. EDITOR'S TABLE. Rose and Roof Tree. Rom and Ronf-Tre.. Poema by George Paraona Lalhrnp, Roaton. JumR. Oafood Co. The' interest * which we anticipated with the coming of Mr. Lathrop's poems, stimulated by many and favorable criticisms in American journals, has been fully equalled by the rare pleasure we have experienced of late in their perusal. Though the haze of distance and years of absence may have dimmed the poet's memories of his early home, while the land of his adoption has become the land of his hope and love, yet there has been an added charm for us in the music of his verses, springing from the thought that his birth was among us, that here first he looked with the eager eyes of boyhood on the beauties and mysteries of that outer world of which he has become so graceful and sincere an interpreter and revealer. We feel a nearness to the singer in the song, a kinship of desire and longing by reason of our common birth-right of soil and air, of sun and sky. Thus early would we lay claim to the new bard, so that in coming days, if cities battle for the glory of calling him son, our plea may not be disregarded. Tennyson's verse, 41The poet in a golden clime wju horn," may then not inappropriately be said of one cradled on our shores of " deathless summer." It has ever been a favorite theory of ours that these sun lends of the Pacific had in them the seed of poetry and poets and we may be pardoned the fancy that this new climber " Upon theenchanted ladder of hti rhyme." unconsciously drew with his earliest breath the first inspiration of his poetic purpose from the silent influences at work about him. We trust at least that Mr. Lathrop may be the leader of a band, the key-note of whose songs shall be found in the murmur of our ocean waves and in the music of our winds. Believing that there are always those who can discern flaws in the choicest workmanship, we have allowed ourselves simply to enjoy to the full the sweet, pure, melodious utterances contained in the little volume before us. With most admirable judgment and rare taste the writer has avoided many of those faults of style and sentiment, which so frequently are the stumbling-blocks of young poets and while vigorous and untramelled in imagination, yet presents often times his thoughts in a setting of exquisite delicacy , MAY. 187 6. and finish, which many of maturer years might envy. In the very out set Mr. Lathrop appears to us to establish his poet's right to be heard in the verses entitled MCSIC OF GROWTH. Munlo is in all growing things; And underneath the silken wings Of smallest insects there ia stirred A poise of air that must be heard. Earth's silence lives, and throbs, and sings. If poet from the vibrant strings Of hia poor heart a measure flings. Laugh not, that he no trumpet blowa; It may be that Heaven hears and knows His language of low listenings." " "Contentment" will come to many with the peace of a benediction : hours have been when I have seen " Glad Life's scope and each dry day's intent United; so that I could stand In silence, covering with my hand The circle of the universe, Balance the blessing and the curse And trust in deeds without chagrin. Free from to-morrow and yesterday—content." But it is in the songs of nature that we see the poet at his best. There is a freshness in his treatment of old themes, a rare art of discovering and suggesting new points of view in well-known landscapes which is delightful. Very truly does Keats say, " The poetry of earth ia never dead." There is also a tenderness of expression and a sympathy of insight in much that he writes, that would lead you to fancy that the secret of joy which thrills in the notes of birds and dances in the sunlight had been told him. As some one has lately said in speaking of these same poems, " In turning the pages there is a sense of rains and mists and winds, of things that grow in the sun-light or under the shadow of leaves." In this sweet under-world where nature admits only the chosen few, he is most at home. Those, who are sometimes almost surfeited with the unending warmth and sunshine of the Tropics, and who turn with longing to the beauty and variety of the more northern year, will read with a rekindling of old and pleasant memories "An April Aria," "June Longings," and"A chant for Autumn." Of these we can quote but the first, AN APRIL ARIA When the mornings dankly fall With a dim forethought of rain. And the robins richly call To their mates mercurial. And the tree-boughs creak and (train In the wind; When the river's rough with foam. And the new-made clearings smoke, And the clouds that go and come Shine and darken frolicsome, And the froga at evening croak Undefined Mysteries of monotone. And by melting beds of snow Wind-flowers blossom all alone, Then I know That the bitter winter's dead Over his head — The damp sod breaks ao mellow, Its mosses tipped with points of yellow,— I cannot but be glad; Yet this aweet mood will borrow Something of a sweeter sorrow, To touch and turn me aad. The "Song-Sparrow" sings itself into your heart, till almost unconsciously you join in saying i my sparrow, thou dost breed " Oh, Thought in me beyond all telling; Shoolest through me sunlight, seed. And fruitful blessing, with that welling Ripple of ecetatio rest. Gurgling ever from tby breast !" From other poems which have pleased us much our space will not permit us to quote at length and we are unwilling to mat them by extracts. Great variety and depth of sentiment are manifested in "Jessamine," " Moods of Love," " The Singing Wire," " The Bather," andtin two sonnets, almost painful in their intensity "A face in the Street," and " O Wholesome Death." The very genuine success which Mr. Lathrop has achieved and at so early an age, has in it the promise of a noble future. We trust that at no very distant day thoughts of these Pacific Islands may tempt the poet to seek new themes and inspiration in their valleys and mountains. He will find an nnwrought field but one rich in poetic resources, which shall swiflly open to the subtle magic of his touch. May not Hawaii yet claim him as her Laureate ? Through and Through the Tropics. Through and through the Tropica, 'thirty thousand mile, of travel In Oceanica. Au.trala.ia, and India. By Frank Vincent, jr. Mr. Vincent seems to have the very happy faculty, as an author, of saying what he wants to say in such a straight forward, simple, and pleasing manner, that he has already acquired a popularity through his books which many travelers of more marked ability, but less ease of expression, have failed to gain. His first work, entitled " The Land of the White Elephant," has been received with much favor, both in America and abroad ; while a late volume from his pen, " Through and Through the Tropics," will be read with much interest and profit. Perhaps we can not give a better idea of the scope of the last named book than by quoting a brief notice of it, which appeared in Harper's, for April: •' The author starts for California, via Cape Horn, on a clipper ship, with three other passengers, from San Francisco goes to the Sandwich Islands, thence to Sydney and Calcutta, and thence northward to and through parts of " High Asia," coming back to Bombay, where this journal leaves him. The route is an uncommon one; it includes observations on lands which are quite off the ordinary paths of travel; and though the volume, is small, and the author gives us .< �I II E FRIEND, NAY. 37 1*76. glimpse rather than a view of them, his out- j grand, almost beyond comparison.

M. C. A. A short paper was read some time since before the Young Mbu's Christian Assoelation of Honolulu, which endeavored to point out the indirect bad influence upon the physical welfare of the Hawaiian race necessarily exerted by mental idleness, and to suggest, in an amplification of the existing educational press, a plan from which, if it were feasible, at least some advantage, slight perhaps at first but likely to increase, might be expected. The paper to which we have alluded made the following remarks with reference to the Hawaiian people •• For them, indeed, much has already been done: Christian teaching has long been provided without lack of pecuniary assistance ; and they possess a system of state primary education equal in extent, if not in degree, to that of any other country. They have ■ Constitutional Government and a King, whose interest is sincerely in the welfnre of his people ; they have churches and preachers, schools where their boys and girls may obtain as much education as usually falls to the lot of a middle class in other civilized countries, a well endowed hospital for the : sick, and doctors maintained at state expense. The climate is healthy, and absolute poverty is unknown among those who care to work. Why should it be so frequently, and alas ! co'dly remarked that in a few years more the race will have disappeared ? We do not put this question with a view of hearing the well-known answer that it is because they will not take care of themselves and their children, but rather to elicit opinrhn as to whether anything con be done which neither earnest religious teaching nor an efficient administration of existing laws will do. We say that many of the people arc idle und dissipated. Men cannot be always ;it manual work, even when hard work is a stern necessity of mere life, which it is not here ; and what terrible temptations to idleness and dissipation would have been ours if, even with a good schooling, we had enjoyed no literature of our own, if all our after-school information and entertainment had to be obtained through the difficult medium of a foreign tongue ! It is sometimes asserted that the government system of education ought to aim at making the English language the vernacular; but while the natives so far out-number the foreigners resident here, no amount of legislation will prevent the Hawaiian language from being that most familiar to the people; and though boys and girls at school may read and speak fluently enough in English, from (he moment when school is over and they take up subsequent occupation among those of their own race, the language of their parents, of their infancy, will resume its place as their language. In what other country under the sun has a native tongue been exchanged for one imported, unless as a condition of con- quest? We speak, of course, of the language of the majority the middle and lower classes, for higher education, and even fashion, will often produce such an exchange among those whoso position renders tliem amenable to such influences. The question us to whether a change of the vernacular is desirable or possible, we cannot now discuss ; such a change has apparently not suggested itself as practicable to tlst- earlier teachers hereof any creed, and we will assume that their decision in the matter has lieen right, Without doubt the people are, to u great extent, shut out in this way from a means of mental recreation and improvement ; where is the wonder, then, if idle minds naturally drift in ■ wrong direction ?" A number of newspapers in the native language have enjoyed ephemeral prosperity and perished for lack of pecuniary support. The existing periodicals are the weekly Kuohoit ami I.nilni Hamuli, the former of which is a newspaper in the ordinary sense, while the latter adds to its news a selection of articles upon subjects of general interest. Even these papers would probably hardly hold their own as financial investments but for their possession of a number of unpaid contributors; and with the bible, sundry hymn books and prayer books, the school books of the Board of Education, and"The Pioneer Boy," they constitute most of the Hawaiian literature of the day. It seems likely that private enterprise can do no more than it has done in this direction, and only associated effort can then assist the matter. The government of the country has at one time or another subsidized portions of the public press as its mouthpiece; and, though in political respects a partisan journal will probably not be influential far beyond its sympathizers, we think that a government publication under the direction of a body so free in its official capacity from party feeling as the Board of Education, would be free from any political limit in its circulation. A magazine, published or assisted by the Board, containing well selected matter of an instructive and interesting kind, whether historical, scientific or fictitious, and made as attractive and handy in form as circumstances permit, would find many readers; and if portable in form it would in many cases be preserved, instead of being used to wrap parcels in. A few years' collection of such a paper would form libraries full of interest to the boys and girls who can read well enough, but who, having nothing to read, naturally become idle and go adrift. The former result would, we think, very well justify the application of some outlayby the Board of Education. It might be possible to alter the form of one of the existing papers in such a way as to make its copies more likely to be preserved, and place its direction in the hands of the Board. It would however be necessary to keep the element of politics out of the scheme altogether. The following remarks in the Advertiser of Jnn. 9th, 1875, with regard to the papei we have quoted, indicate the Legislature as the power by whom any such plan as we suggest would have to be authorized, before the Board of Education could apply it at all The idea thrown out by the writer, that the Board of Education could advantageously undertake the publication of a periodical newspaper or mugazine in the native language, is an excellent one, were there no present difficulties in the way. The first and most important of these is the lack of means at the disposal of the Board. The sum of 550.660 is provided in the appropriation bill passed at thu last session of the Legislature for the expenses of the Bureau of Public. Instruction during the two years ending March 31st, IS7B, and the items are specifically mentioned upon which that sum may be expended. Moreover a section of the appropriation bill declares that the " Minister of Finance shall not cause or allow to be paid from the treasury any money for objects not provided for by this law " Thus it will be seen that however much the enlightened gentlemen who compose the Board of Education might be inclined to adopt the idea of a State Educational Prean, they are powerless to move in the matter until the Legislature shall have provided the necessary meanBut we are glad to see that the attention ofthoughtful mid generous minded people is directed to this subject, and that they are unwilling without further inquiry to adopt the cold and cheerless theory that but a fewmore years will see the last of the race. We trust that the discussion will be continued, until the opinion shall prevail that something can be done in behalf of the Hawaiian* which neither earnest religious teaching nor an .efficient administration ot " existing laws will do." The lecture delivered by President Pratt before the Y. M. C. A., on Friday evening, April 21, was most interesting and profitable. The freshness of the subject, " The Deaf and Dumb," and the ease and ability which the lecturer displayed in treating of it, could not but give plessure to all present. We regret that our limited space prevents us from giving as full a notice of the lecture as it deserves. The Association, we are sure, are most truly grateful for the kindness and courtesy of this effort in their Mialf. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

A life closed in our midst on the 14th of May, which from the length of years with which God had honored it as well as the way in which they had been worn, rather as a crown than a burden, is deserving of more than a passing notice in this year of centenThis life commenced in nial memories. 1782, the year after the surrender of Lord Cornwallis and the year before the conclusion of definitive treaty of peace between Great Britain and the United States. Napoleon Bonaparte, a youth of thirteen, was studying at the royal military school at Brienne. Joseph II was emperor of Germany just deprived by death of the counsels of Maria Theresa. Pius VI was Pope of Rome. These islands had only been discovered six years, and this life had counted thirteen years when the first foreign vessel entered the harbor of Honolulu. What an interval of time is bridged by such a life; what if one could gather the threads of the human lives that have begun and ended during the duration of this one life in which empires and kingdoms have arisen and fallen. Her own interest was in the kingdom of Christ, and as the work grew on apace and developed the proportions which it has assumed in these latter days, no wonder it seemed to her of more importance than the birth of any earthly kingdoms. Her life was not wholly free from trials which she ever sustained with that fortitude which was so characteristic of her, and which her late son inherited in so great a degree, and which enabled him in Hawaii's tryiog hour to render this country such service as none other has ever been able to render. Few of those whose privilege it was torender Mrs. Judd any service, however small, will soon forget the sweetness with which it was •lways received and acknowledged. Mrs. Judd was born in Washington, Con- HONOLULU. JINK 5, ISiC. Among her brothers were Dr. Thomas Hastings of musical fame, and Orlando Hastings, a lawyer of prominence in New York State. In 1852 she came to the islands, where for the past twenty-four years she has lived surrounded by children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, two coming in the week succeeding her death to widen the circle of those who will ever cherish with a tender reverence the memory of her finished life. Her direct descendants number over eighty. She breathed her last on Sabbath evening, May 14th, 1876. Safe Home at Last. oecticut. 41 | m Series, M. M. Edltorlsl Correspondent:*. ATRIPCTHENOIAL.-o2.

Mills' Seminary, Palace for the • Baltltade. Before leaving San Francisco it was my privilege to visit the Palace Hotel and view it from the basement to the seventh story. It is a marvel, and to be fully appreciated must be examined. The Sultan of Turkey and Khedive of Egypt have doubtless many palaces costing more than this hotel, but they are comparatively useless and tenantless. European governments build palaces for royal families, but in San Francisco is a palace for the multitude, and I am glad to learn that the general public is extending to the establishment a liberal patronage. At the time of my visit there were about nine hundred boarders. Every apartment is finished off with much taste and neatness. There is nothing " shoddy " about the establishment. The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Strangers' Friend Society was held June Ist at the residence of the Hon. J. Mott Smith.

Berlin,Mcinhardt'o Hotel,Unterden Linden, ) March 16th, 1876. Amidst the confusion and excitement of sight-seeing, I steal a moment to scratch a line to you, (even writing with my hat on, ready to go out when F. is through his busi- < k ness). Berlin is brilliant, beyond Vienna, which I thought so grand; and I have seen sights enough and palaces enough to dream over all the rest of my days,—and such palaces ! Have been through the royal city palace and seen such magnificent frescoed walls,—with gilded furniture, &c. They make every one weur great felt slippers over one's shoes, so as not to injure the polished inlaid floors, and we stepped along most ungracefully, with open eyes and admiring faces. But I must not stop there or here. Yesterday we spent in Potsdam, visiting Babelsburg, the summer palace of the present Emperor—going throughall the rooms, even into the old Kaiser's private room. He sleeps on a hard bed, and the furniture is plain. Beside the table stood a plain arm chair, made by the Crown Prince for his father, and some of the Empress' water-color paintings hung on the wall. The Crown Princess' rooms are furnished as used to be ber rooms in England when a girl. From Babelsburg to the famous Sans Souci, Frederic the Great's palace.

Howmuch more attractive our meetings might be mnde, if they were held in some more accessible place, in the Lyceum for instance if that be available. I would devote the first half of the evening to business, and place the second half in the bands of the entertainment committee who could provide for an essay to be read and discussed, or for some good miscellaneous readings or other interesting disposition of the time, each member being expected to take a personal share, or to appear by proxy when his turn came. By this means there would be as much pleasure as duty in attending the meetings, and the Young Men's Christian Association would become a more tangible existence to its members as well as to others It would also be likely to obtain an influence over young men who, well enough disposed to its objects, are yet not sufficiently inclined to groi*& after the desultory attractions provided for their enjoyment at the monthly meetings at the Sailors' Home Many religious and other societies being carried on by those who are already interested in their respective objects, are in a measure independent ofsurrounding circuuistaoces ; but in a society like ours, the object is to induce young men to join us that we may influence them. We ennnut defy or violate their taste, but should seek rather to direct and consecrate it and to provide for its culture. Neither is our object merely to attract and entertain, but to get this class into tbe habit of being bunded together for proleesedly Christian purposes, trusting to our .Muster to direct and mukc useful those purposes. If we had a rigorous and a well supported association here, there is one form of work which we might with confidence take in band. 'When we have been spending occasional Sundays in the country in the midst perhaps of large fnuiilies of young people to whom church and Sunday school were hardly even a name, I think few ot us can have escaped the serious conviction—tl.at something might be done towards which we could contribute for supplying at least occasional religious services for the foreign settlements and hamlets that are growing up on our plantations and other districts. With this undone, we cannot cay we bave no work and there is no one here who cannot help To all of us tbe message comes,—Freely ye have received, freely give. My Iriends, what will you give?

" When a deed is done for Freedom, Through the brosd earth's itching breast Runs a thrill of joy prophetic. Trembling on from East to West." The celebrations, which group themselves about our National American Anniversary, will be this year animated by a fresh and vigorous life. Old forms and ceremonies will take on a new beauty viewed in the light of the Centennial year; the most extravagant and jubilant enthusiasm will be permitted on"the day we celebrate;" while those, who look beneath the show and festivity of these days, will find in them food for thought and themes for praise and gladness. Their deep and glorious significance cannot fail to touch all American hearts, while the deed they recall, done in the name of Freedom, has become a part of the heritage of mankind. The " thrill of joy" still runs " from east to west," finding even in these islands, in far distant seas, an answering chord. With "deeper, clearer intonations" than ever before, through the hush of the vanished years, break the tones of the grand old bell proclaiming "liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof." The dawn of the era of American Liberty is one of the sublime things of history. The hours of the second, third, and fourth of July, 1876, were fraught with mighty meaning to tbe great men, whose hearts bore the burden of their country's weal or woe. The grandest possibilities lay within their grasp and they saw with undimmed vision the beauty of true freedom. They never faltered intheirtrust,butchoseaboveall things HONOLULU, JULY 4, 18.6. of the world ; and the astonished nations as they read that all men are created equal started out of their lethargy, like those who have been exiles from childhood, when they' suddenly hear the dimlyremembered accents of their mother tongue." America has ever stood a child among old and storied nations. She has cherished hopes rather than memories; has entrenched herself in forests, not in crumbling feudal castles; hns gloried in the birth of new and honored names, rather than in the lustre of a far off past. But the time of her coronation has come, and from " this terraced height" all hearts turn back with loyal love to the grand and glorious picture which gleams luminously through the mists of a hundred years. From all lands have come those to do her homage and to lay gifts at her feet, and her children glory in her name. In this Centennial year, however, none offer more frank and sincere allegiance to their native land than those, who from foreign shores, send back to the old home . their heartfelt greetings. Our remoteness has not lessened the fervor of patriotism and national love. The bonds of sympathy and affection have strengthened with the years, have been a legacy from father to son, so that we claim two lands as ours, for, "Side by aide in our hearts to-day, Stand Columbia nnd Hawaii nel." {<$iii Series <Jol. 33. 49 Editorial Correspondence. A TRIP TO THE CENTENNIAL.-No. 4. P A ilgrimage to Concord. Old world pilgrimages have long been the topic of remark and of song. Mecca, Jerusalem, and Rome have for ages drawn many a weary pilgrim who has, with soiled garments and staff in hand, walked over mountains and across deserts until he could catch a view of spots sacred to religion and consecrated by superstition. But in modern times steam on sea and land has come to the pilgrim's aid, and he no longer walks sorefooted and exhausted, but whirled along with almost lightning speed. America—the new world—is coming to have its sacred spots where pilgrims resort, but not with careworn faces and wearied limbs! Concord, Mass., is one of these places. Its Indian memories are not devoid of interest, but its Revolutionary history is full of thrilling incidents, and these have been oft celebrated by orator and»poet. A charming June morning found me standing beside the new and exquisitely beautiful monument representing an American sculptor's idea of a Revolutionary minute-man. This work of art is much admired. The statue represents a soldier standing by the plow in the field, with musket in hand, ever intently listening and eye looking most piercingly, if perchance the enemy is approaching. The monument stands near the one erected to the American soldiers who fell on that long-tO'be-remembered day of April, 1775,—when tbe British made tlreir attack upon the militia of Concord. Upon the pedestal supporting the statue of the " minute-man," are these beautiful lines of Emerson: May we not hope that a still fairer page of history will be traced by America in the century that lies before her ? Let us gather inspiration from the broad and generous feelings born of these Centennial memories.

The charming gallery and the splendid classical music there, I feasted upon them! At half-past 7we were in Leipzig, where we stayed but an hour. The opera house of Leipsig is very handsome, and the only handsome building there we had time to see ; but there is much of interest, historical interest, in the place. At the present time Leipzig ia one of the busiest commercial cities in Europe ; much money comes from the sale of furs and also from the hundreds of books printed there every year. Leaving Leipzig we traveled all night, being alone in the car, and at S in the morning were in Cologne, the largest town in the Rhenish province of Prussia. It is named after Colonia Agrippina, the mother of Nero, who was born here, and still shows traces of Italian life. On account of the situation on the Rhine it had connection with Italy by navigation, and this gave Cologne great power. The sewerage must be much better now than in the days of Coleridge, for he says : "But tell me, Nymphs, what power divine Shsll henceforth wash the river Rhine t" I observed a clear atmosphere there, and the water was pure to drink. Some of the old streets are very narrow and with side-walks so much so that* only one person can walk at a time on them. Our whole interestcentered in and around the magnificent cathedral, which is one of the grandest in the world. It is in the form But the hopes of youth have such wondrons might, That they gild all lime with radiance bright,— And leaping over a chssm of years, From this partiug hour, with its smiles sod tears,— Can picture tbe meeting again,—in joy,— With nothing ofchange, and with no alloy.

" . % of a cross, the roof is of copper and rests on a hundred columns; the carvings in and outside are wonderfully delicate ; as far as the eye can reach there are beautiful carvings worthy of any great artist, and the artist of all this massive wonder, dating from the thirteenth century, is now positively unknown. Arch after arch inside the cathedral, through which one sees beautiful shades of light tinted by the great glass windows ; in the distance come priestly voices from the altar; men, women and children coining and going from the many shrines, all in daily garb; and sitting and pondering over it all I was greatly impressed with the solemnity of the scene. The lines of Grey came floating to me, "Not to the domes where crumbling arch and column attest the feebleness of mortal hand, but to that fane mo=t catholic and solemn which God hath planned." For, you know, this splendid structure is constantly crumbling away and will never be thoroughly completed, for when one part is quite done by that time another is going. The windows are costly, of different shades of glass, and all mosaic-work ; the paintings are of the different Bible characters from the beginning of the world. Adam lies on green grass (in one window), and from his body springs a tike ; on it are David, Solomon and hundreds of his descendants ; at last are seen the Holy Mother and the Child Christ. This picture covers one window. We went into the sacristy and saw the heads or skulls of the three wise men, all decorated with costly jewels and in a golden case ; also in a golden case a piece of the crown of thorns, a piece of Peter's chain when he was imprisoned, and many elegant jewels, diamond crosses, golden vases and like gifts from many of the kings of Germany. This cathedral will always live in my memory as a dream ; it was so grand and so wonderful, I can't believe that 1 have truly seen it. We also went into the church of St. Ursula, named after a princess of Brittain or Brittany. She married a German prince, but went to Rome to get the blessing of the Pope and also to convert her unbelieving husband to the Romish faith. On her way home the Huns, who then overran the country, murdered her. her husband, the Pope (who had journeyed n little way with them), and eleven thousand virgins of the company. The bones of these eleven thousand are displayed for a small sum to the traveler, and are in the sides of the church in niches. I longed to sail down the Rhine, as I've longed to see more of the great cities to which 1 am so near, but it was not to be. We gazed for the last time at the gieat cathedral as we went to the cars early in the morning, and with a trust I looked, hoping to see it again. We had a very comfortable journey from Cologne through Belgium and Holland, not slopping anywhere for more than half an hour at a time. The changes of country were interesting, in particular the streams and rivers with hundreds of canal boats, some drawn by women, which we saw in the Netherlands. And there the land is very low. The beauty of scenery ia France, which we read so much about, was all lost, for we journeyed through it in the dark night. Here in Paris we hive not been able to see very much as yet. We enjoyed a walk through the Luxemborg Garden, which is very extensive, with fine sanded walks, ponds of water with swans sailing about, statuary on every side. This garden belongs to a palace in which is a little museum of marble statuary and also pictures. The latter are by living artists, very beautiful landscapes, scenes from French history, and as a whole a beautiful collection. All my interestcentered in a picture which I have loved for years as an engraving, a farm-scene by Rosa Bonbeur. In front of it many artists were at work trying in vain to repeat it.

LEGGRE. This gentleman, for many years a Missionary of the London Missionary Society, and translator of the works of Confucius, is now on a visit to England. From an address, which he delivered at a school, we copy tbe following extracts which we are confident will be read with interest, as the attention of our readers is so frequently called to the Chinese, scattered over our islands. They come from a highly educated land.— "Education in China." This will form the main subject of my address. I might almost be, 1 suppose, the grandfather of the oldest of you, and yet I feel a measure of respect and awe in standing before you. A good many of you will remember what we are told about John Frebonius, one of the masters of the school which the boy Luther attended at Eisenach. He always raised his cap to his pupils, when he entered the schoolroom ; and when asked why he did so, he replied :—" There are among these boys men of whom God will one day make burgomasters, chancellors, doctors, and magistrates. Although you do not yet see them with the badges of their dignity, it is right that you should treat them with respect." This was well spoken by Frebonius, and, more than thirty years ago, I was delighted to find the same sentiment recorded of Confucius, the sage of China. " A youth," said he on one occasion, " is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?" He then added, in words on which I may have something to say, ere I have done— If he reach the age of forty or fifty, and has not made himself heard* of, he will not be worth being regarded with respect." Well, you know that education is very much prized in China. It is much more prized in some of the provinces of that vast country than in others ; but 1 do not think I exaggerate in saying that to-duy there are more boys and students in schools and under masters in China than there of men, women, and children all together in Great Britain. I hold here in my hand a Chinese Primer, one of the first lesson books which boys have to learn when they go to school. Its author, a Mr. Wang Pih-haon, died in tbe year 1296, so that it must have been written fully 600 years ago. He prepared it for family use ; but it has long been taught all over the empire. There must be upwards of a hundred millions of Chinese now living who could repeat it all over from beginning to end. You see it is printed in large characters, the better to impress the form of each on the eye and mind, and it is in a - 1). JIL¥, 15.6 sort of doggTO rhyme, each line consisting compilations on the ancient rites, ceremoof six words, with a csesural pause exactly nies, arts, nnd music of China. The fifth in the middle, that it may be the more easily remembered. It is not long, and I will try to give you some idea of its contents. After some preliminary remarks to the effect that all men are good at first, and very much alike, and that it is their being educated or not which makes them differ as they subsequently do, and illustrating this by examples, the keynote of the treatise is struck in the following lines :— "Tbe child fed, but untaught. To the parent in shame; To teach, and not be strict, In tbe teacher is blame. If the boy do not learn, Very wrong sure is lie; If in youth he be idle, When old, wlmt will he be As the gem, when uncut, For nothing in good, So the man who's unlearned Knows not what be should." - Having thus opend his subject, the author sets forth the rudiments of Chinese learning ; good manners, filial piety, brotherly duty ; the elements of arithmetic; the more conspicuous heavenly bodies; the three bonds of society—ruler and subject, father and son, husband and wife; the names of the seasons, of the cardinal points, and of the five elements ; the five virtues of benevolence, righteousness, propriety, conscientiousness, and truthfulness; the six grains; the six animals good for food, including the horse and the dog; the seven passions ; the is the computation of ancient poems or odes, said to have been made by Confucius, and many of the pieces of which are really very interesting. The sixth is the history of his native state of Ivo, for 242 years, drawn up in short sentences by Confucius. It would hardly be worth reading, but for three commentaries and enlargements of it, made not long after the time of the siege, and with which the Primer says the student must also make himsplf familiar. One of them is as full of graphic details as Scott's "Tales of a Grandfather." When the student has got through these classical works, the Primer says he must turn himself to the five philosophers, some of them orthodox and some heterodox, partly comprehensible and partly incomprehensible. The latest of them lived and wrote in the first century of our era. Only one other labour is laid on the Chinese student, but it is a Herculean one. " When thoroughly up in the classics and philosophers," says Wang, "he must take the historians in hand ;" and he proceeds to give a bird's eye view of Chinese history from b. c. 2852 down nearly to his own time. Then the standard histories were seventeen. Now, bringing the records of the Empire down to the year 1644, when the present Tartar dynasty gained possession of it, they are twenty-four. I had my copy of them bound iv English style, in thick volumes, royal octavo size. How many volumes do you think they make? Only fifty-six A book as large as the last edition of the " Encyclopaedia Britannica" would hardly suffice to contain a complete translation of them. There is no method of education in the world that so tasks the memory as does the Chinese, and in the case of the majority of pupils, so far as I have been acquainted with them, it is simply a gigantic system of cram. Still, in those who have strong bodies nnd exceptionally strong minds, it develops men of a more than ordinary aruteness, often associated with a more than ordinary grasp of mind; while among the people generally it develops an appreciation of filial and fraternal duties of subordination, of what is proper and decent, and of industry and thrift, which no unprejudiced observer can regard without admiration. China has a history, a veritable history, extending nearly over 4000 yearc. No other nation has subsisted so long essentially unchanged, and growing upon the whole from century to century in resources and population. Various causes have contributed to this; and one of the most powerful among them has been the general education of the people. From time immemorial this was prized and inculcated in the country; and in the latter half oft our seventh century —about A. D. 631— the competitive system by the examination of literary candidates was established. Since that time learning has been the passport to eight instruments of music; the nine degrees of kinship; and the duties of the social relations—affection between parents and children, mutual accommodation between husband and wife, kindness on tbe part of the elder brother, and submissive consideration on the part of the younger; strict regard to age between elders and juniors generally; endeavours to promote one another's virtue between friends, respectfulness on the part of the ruler, and leal-heartedness on the part of the subject. These rudiments being supposed to be mastered, the pupil goes on to the higher school, and, through a very small portico of grammar, advances into the field of Chinese literature. Then he begins with a work on on filial piety and its duties, by Confucius, from which he proceeds to the Four Books, which are chiefly occupied with the sayings and doings of the doctrines of the sage. Some analogy has been fancied to exist between them and our four Gospels. The Primer contains a sentence or two about the matter and authorship of each. The boy learns to read all these books, and, in the course of years, to understand them more or less; and he has to commit them all to memory. When he has done his duty on them, he is prepared to go on to the higher classical books which Mr. Wang Pih-haon says ore six. The first is called the Book of Changes, to the meaning of which, after more than twenty years' study, I have hitherto failed to find the clue. The official distinction. second is the Book of Ancient Historical Documents, relating to events and individuals during a period of nearly 2,000 years, Bound Volumes at Reduced Price! though the latest document belongs to the WIIFj furnish bound volumes 7th century before Christ.

Thonghts on Experience in the Religious Life. READ BEFORE THE Y M. C. A. BY S. H. DOLE Many individuals, perhaps most, accept in childhood, (lie doctrines (might them then, whether ihey are liberal, orthodox, Romish, Mohan)modan or Budliist, and never alterwards trouble themselves to examine their creeds on their own merits. Such second hand believers are rarely strong or useful. And the safety of this very common method of receiving one's religious faith, depends purely upon the comparatively rare and accidental circumstance of being born and reared among those who are the fortunate possessors of unmixed religious truth. To those however whose religious principle is strong and deep and earnest, as well as to many who begin their religious life after childhood, there comes a time when faith in God and unseen things becomes too important, too personal, and too sacred a matter to be left to the assertion or argument of others, and they are led by an irresistable power to personally examine these questions, and to decide from their own earnest consciousness. Then it is that doubts come. They have gone so deep down toward the roots of belief that they meet the skepticism which strives for the mastery with belief at its very fountain head. Doubts haunt them night and day, and weigh Upon them with almost unbearable force. They suffer severe pain and anxiety, as what was to them solid ice cracks and breaks beneath their feet. It seems to them that all the old landmarks are sinking and the well known stars going out. Bold infidelity shows itself and offers its false, uncertain glimmer as a beacon light, and horrified and trembling they shrink from an apparently inevitable fate. But true to themselves, and true to God who they know by internal evidence exists somewhere, they persevere in their hard painful search for the truth, and never once stop to think of personal comfort, or the easy happiness of a cloistered and bolstered belief. At last the light is sure to come, glorious and rich and wonderful, a thousand times making up for the difficulty and suffering of the way. Light and strength which none but those who have struggled and agonized for it can know or understand. Some one has lately said truly. " There are many who do not believe enough to doubt." And I believe it expresses a real principle. Those who indolently receive their fajth from others without self unspottedfrom the world. taking the trouble of a personal examination of its merits and are satisfied, are not troubled with doubts, neither is their belief likely to be of much account in the great crusade that is to conquer the world. But those who bravely mean to achieve can hardly escape the many bristling weapons of skepticism ; they cluster around the sepulchre and the cross of Christ, as did the mighty armies of Saladin around Jerusalem, and only the weak and faint-hearted will seek to avoid the conflict and lose the opportunity of the glorious victory and the triumphal entry into ihe holy city of truth. A change has recently been made in the character of the monthly meeting of this Society, which it is hoped will be found advantageous. Hitherto the meetings have been held at the reading room of the Sailors' Home, and being chiefly of a routine nature, the attendance has been uncertainand small. It has been decided to hold the monthly meetings in future at the Lyceum, which has been kindly placed at the disposal of the Society by Mr. Waterhouse for that purpose. The first part of the evening is occupied with reports of officers, committees and with other business, after which an hour is to be devoted to a programme to be arranged by special committee. This programme will be varied as may be convenient, and will include the reading and discussion of original essays, miscellaneous selections of prose and poetry, and vocal and instrumental music. The object of this change is to bring the members more socially together once a month, and to provide for the encouragement of entertaining and intelligent intercourse amongst young men of similar tastes. Although the meetings are not public, each member has the privilege of inviting his friends, and by this means it is hoped that the membership of the Society will be increased ; and that strangers arriving here will have an early opportunity of forming acquaintances and friendship, which may be valuable to them hereafter. Every effort will be made to render the programme" " attractive, and it is sincerely hoped that the members will make it their special duty to attend the meetings regslarly. They are held on the third Friday of each month at half-past seven. George Williams of London—Our Young Men's Guest. The sname of George Williams is well known and greatly honored among ail familiar with the work of Young Men's Chris- tian Associations ihe world over, and those of our readers interested in this good cause will be glad to know that he is expecting to visit America this summer. Thirty-five years ago, Mr. Williams came to London as a young man to begin business life as a clerk in one of the largest houses in the drapery trade. His rare talents, industry and fidelity have now secured him a foremost place among the merchants of that metropolis. But he was also in early life a devoted disciple of Christ. Among the hundred clerks with whom he was associated thirty years ago, his influence as a Christian was at once felt. In conversation, by example and prayer, he led one after another to Christ, till soon a small band of clerks in that house were statedly meeting together to encourage each other in prayer and effort on behalf of their associates. Young men from other houses joined them, and on the 6th of June, 1844, at No 12 St. Paul's Churchyard, ihey decided to form themselves into a Society " for improving the spiritual condition of young men engaged in the drapery and other trades." In 1851 some twenty-five branches had been organized in the leading cities of Great Britain, and in that year the good seed was planted in American soil, Young Men's Christian Associations being organized in Montreal, Boston, and in other cities. Mr. Williams has continued during these thirty years the devoted, fostering friend of these Associations. He has attended faithfully the General Conferences—seven in number—held since 1855 in the various capitals of Europe. But he crosses the Atlantic for the first time this month. He will be cordially welcomed by the many friends who know by experience the cheerful courtesy which he has ever extended to members of the American Associations whenever they have visited the parent Society in London. In Toronto (July 12-16) the International Convention, at its twenty-first annual meeting, will rejoice in this year of its majority to hear his voice for the first time. Among the multitude of visitors coining to our land this season none will be more cordially welcomed by the Christian young men of the country than the founder of the Associations which bear their name, and have done so much to promote the welfare of the generation to which they belong. Mr. Williams, while acting as Treasurer of the Young Men's Christian Association, is also Chairman of the City Mission Board, and is officially connected with many of the most useful charities in London. �57 FTSUPHLOEMN RIEND HONOLULU, JULY, 187€.

One new church has been formed during the period under review. Six pastors have been installed over as many churches. One of these was soon called to lay down his armor. Four persons have been licensed to preach the gospel—all from the Theological Seminary. One of these has been ordained and installed pastor of a church in Puna, Hawaii; the other three have charge of churches : Two on Kauai and one on Maui, the latter may soon be ordained and installed over the church at Olualu, Maui. Five pastors have been dismissed from their pastorates ; two of whom are now without pastoral charges. Three ministers of the gospel have been elected to and sit in the present Legislature,—two pastors of churches, and one without pastoral charge. Sixty-one churches are now in connection with the local Ecclesiastical bodies on these islands, viz : 23 on the Island of Hawaii, 15 on Maui, 4 on Molokai, 1 on Lanai, 13 on Oahu, and son Kauai, in some of these churches more than usual interest on the subject of the soul's salvation has been The Annual Meeting of the Body from which the Board derives its power is at hand, and we are reminded that the Hawaiian Evangelical Association requires nf this Board an Annual Report, which will be the Thirteenth Atinual Report of the Board.

This is the case with the Seminary at Lahaina Iuna, Maui, as well as the Boarding School for boys at Hilo, Hawaii. The Hilo Boarding School has been blest with a religious awakening during the past year, which has resulted in some ten of the pupils having been admitted to church mem- bership. THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. The teachers of this institution have been the same as in the previous year, viz : Rev. B. W. Parker, Chairman of the Faculty ; Rev. D. Baldwin, M. D, and Rev. H. H. Parker, Teachers. These Teachers have performed faithfully tbe duties assigned them. A new term of instruction in the Seminary commenced on tbe Ist of October, 1875. During the meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in June, 1875, an examination of the pupils of the Seminary was held in the presence of a committee ap- �THE FRIEND, .111... 60 1876.

We have learned with much Toronto, Canada, on pain of his death in he the 23d of Jurfc. After years of absence his native visit to was returning for a brief land, but it was his Father's will that he should be called to " a better country, even Dr. Henderson's death a heavenly." loss to the Christian church will be a heavy long and faithfully so he had in which ever be most lovingwill name His served. wide circle of friends and a by cherished ly fellow-workers. We recall now most vividly a remark which he made during his brief sojourn in Honolulu, which, in view of his recent death, has a most interesting significance. Speaking of the late Dr. Guthrie of Scotland, and of the beauty and grandeur of his life and work for the Master, Dr. Henderson said : "At the time of Dr. Guthrie's death I wrote to his daughter congratulating In like her on her father's coronation." manner, looking beyond the sadness and grief „f personal loss, we would ask those to whom he was dear to rejoice that another has received the crown and palm. A new name has been added to the list of the " honored dead," that of President Steams of Amherst College. All who ever met him will recall the beauty and purity of his eoutiterAnee, which in this life seemed to shine with the glory »f thai light into whose full brightness he has now entered, so that we might speak rather of his translation than his death. The memory of his saintly name and example will be of priceless value to the institution, of which he was for so many years the guide and leader. May his mantle rest on the one who shall be called to be his successor! The women of the United States have taken up the cause of temperance reform and the work will move forward. A glance at the Morning, a new paper published by them, will convince any one that they have taken hold of a work which they intend to accomplish. Fifteen hundred young ladies in one city have pledged themselves not to associate with young men who arc in the habit of using liquor, and say they will demand purity for purity and sobriety for sobriety. We have long enough been the silent sorrowing victims of a most gigantic evil, thinking we had no power to rescue ourselves. We cannot wield the sword but there is a moral power in united persistent effort—with prayer that no evil can withstand. Dr. Schliemann, of whom mention is made elsewhere in this number, has just obtained a new firman for two years exploration at Troy, and was to proceed there on May sth to build some frame houses, so to be able to continue the excavations hy the 21st of May. A private letter from the Sandwich Islands, published in the Christian Register, contains th's paragraph : "I am more than ever convinced that the salvation of the Orthodox Church is in its foreign missions. It is impossible to read the history of these islands, and see from whnt a horrid and revolting condition they have been brought to the quiet, safe, and orderly life of to-day, through missionary zeal and work, without believing heartily in Christian missions to foreign lands. Meantime the reaction upon the churches sustaining these missions has maintained them in healthful vigor. I believe the first essential of the Unitarian Church, if it is to live and transmit its truth and the noble examples of its saintly lives to coming generalinns, is the missionary spirit." 65 {<0U Series, M 33. 1Editorial A TRIP TO THE Corrcpoodencc ] CENTENNIAL-No. 6. Thf Foarth of Jnl>. IBT6. Having spent the charming month of June among the hills of New England, I returned to Philadelphia last evening in order to be present at the Centennial exercises in this memorable city, associated with the signing of the Declaration ot Independence, just one century ago to-day. Soon after my arrival last evening, the mile* of torch lights were witnessed, and It was twelve o'clock before the pageant had passed, when the Great Bell on Independence Hall announced First Century of the Republic as ended, and the New Century begun. The evening was most propitious. The moon was nearly at its full, and as Milton says, " rode forth in peerless splendor." All the inhabitants of Philadelphia must have turned out, for the streets were filled with the eager expectants of the brilliant show and the long miles of tramping soldiers, musical bands, and the endless exhibit of industrial and mechanical handicraft. Scarcely had my eyes been closed in sleep, ere 1 was awakened by the band marching up Walnut street playing Yankee Doodle, and following an illuminated car, with these words displayed, " the 100 birthday. From that early hour until the present moment there hns been one incessant patriotic demonstration of fireworks, and while I am writing, the children in the street, under my window, are firing off crackers and other pyrotechnic combustibles, not much to my peace of mind. * * I have just returned from the grand and * celebration, where the poet Bayard Taylor recited his poem,—Evarts delivered his oration —the band of musicians and singers sung patriotic songs, Dom Pedro, General Sherman, Phil. Sheridan, and other notables were presented to the vast assemblage,—such uproarious hurrahs I never honrd before. <'nwir said, " I came, I saw, I glorious 4th �66 IH X FRIEND.

Perhaps for a solid and useful railroad, taking me under the shadow of old education this seminary stands at the highWachuset Mountain, the highest land in the est point among all the female seminaries of America. Other seminaries partially modeled after this one, originally established by Miss Lyons, have been started in the western country; and the Mills' Seminary at Brooklyn, Cal., has drawn its inspiration from the same source. From South Hadley we crossed the Connecticut by a ferry and visited Northampton, the " Norwood " of Beecher's only romance. Here we glanced through the beautiful apartments of Smith College, where young ladies are invited to pursue a finished classical course of study. The first class has already entered and been taught one year, while a larger class is expected to enter on the opening year. The grounds and surroundings are most tasteful and neat. The Recitation rooms are in every respect such as the most fastidious must admire. The department of Natural History is to receive a due share of attention. The collection of curiosities is not large at present. As I have already observed, the view from the tower is transcendency grand and beautiful. We shall look for most gratifying results in the future of Smith College. While at Northampton we also visited the school for deaf-mutes, conducted on the new plan which entirely discards the old system of signs and hand-symbols. This system is based upon the principle of speaking from the peculiar motion of the lips. We were introduced by the teachers to the pupils, who certainly such skill in lip-speaking as was quite surprising and wonderful. We certainly obtained some new ideas by visiting Clark-School for DeafMutes. There is much of true historic interest in Northampton. It was there that President Edwards, the great divine of America, once lived. The site of his residence is still pointed out and visited by all lovers of Puritan doctrines and intellectual study. A magnificent elm tree now marks the spot. From this interesting and ancient relic we passed over to the cemetery, where repose the remains of David Brainerd, over whose grave there is a marble slab with this inscription : to the memory of the Iter. David Brain" Sacred a faithful and laborious missionary to the Stockerd, briJpe, Delaware, and Suaquehannah tribes of Indiana; who died in this town Oct. 10,1747;aged 82." Beside BrainercTs grave was that of Jerusha Edwards, who died Oct. 14, 1747, only four days subsequently. These notable persons would doubtless have been soon married, if death had not so unexpectedly intervened ; so says tradition !—so says history From here we crossed over the beautiful Connecticut once more and entered Hadley, so rich in historical associations. Here the Regicide* were for a long lime con- ! �111 X cealed, and during that concealment one of them came forth and led the soldiers to Indian warfare and then retired, leading some to imagine that God had sent His angel to deliver the people from the tomahawk and scalping knife of the Indian. In Hadley resides one well known at the islands, Mrs. Bonney, formerly Miss Emma Peck. The old time-honored and much frequented Commencement Exercises of New England colleges, are passing away before the onward and combined march of Base Ball, Boating, Class Days, and other modern innovations. This method of working off the exuberance of youthful fervor and ambitious aspirations of the collegians may be an improvement, but the older class of graduates do not think so, yet there is no alternative ; the inevitable must be borne and the situation accepted. Commencement Exercises opened with the Baccalaureate Sermon, prepared by the much esteemed, much respected and much lamented President Steams several weeks before his death. It was delivered Sabbath morning in the College Church by President L. C. Seelye, of Smith College, Northampton, and was most appropriate, even if the beloved president had foreseen that death was near he could not have prepared a more timely discourse. His subject was— The. opportunltie* and responsibilities of educated young men. Most earnest appeals were put forth exhorting young men to love their country. There was an allusion to the late war, in which a son of the president had fallen, to which a reference was made in the following touching passage of the discourse : (Jod grant that such scenes may never be repeatmi"! but, should the dreadful voice of divine retribu- tion summon you to the bitt'es of righteousness— spare neither your own life nor the life of biro who is Ins mother's joy. Aoting from Ihe high sentiment of Christian duty, the crown of martyrdom will await him and yon. There hangs in my parlor the portrait of a young officer in military attire, with his right band on the hilt of tbe sword by his side. As I was gating on it with tender musings, the figure took oo life, the lips parted and said, Tell tbem to be good and true, aud then, if the country calls for them, dulce tt decorum %rro patria mori. In the afternoon the Lord's Supper was administered in the same place, when two young men made a profession of their faith, and it was remarked that on a preceding occasion about thirty had done the same. These were the fruits of a most precious revival among the students of the college during the last year. in the evening of the same day, the Rev. Dr. R. Thomas, of Brooklinc, Mass., delivered an address before the society of Inquiry. It was a most eloquent and interesting discourse. Dr. Thomas has within a year or so been invited from a London pulpit, and with Dr. Hall nnd Dr. Taylor of INew York ■•itv, is doiiijr a noble work.

On Monday followed Prize Speaking, and on Tuesday " Class Day exercises. In the evening of the same day, there was a Grand Concert of the Class of '76," in which some of the most noted performers of America took a part, including the famous " Mendelssohn Quintette Club " of Boston. The exercises of the following day, Wednesday, were "Junior Class Physical Exercises," including dumb-bell and other athletic performances, in which the young men acquitted themselves most creditably. "Alumni meeting" followed, when the Rev. Dr. Leeds, the rector of an Episcopal church in Baltimore and the class of '35, delivered a most finished and polished oration, abounding with apt and graceful classical allusions. I have rarely ever listened to an address of this nature and on such an occasion, which was more appropriate. The real " Commencement Exercises" were to come on the following day, and I only regretted that my very limited time would not allow me to remain and listen to the orations of the ten young gentlemen representing a class of seventy,—the largest which has ever graduated from Amherst. Compelled to hasten away from the hallowed precincts of Amherst, 1 did not retire without many pleasant regrets. There we spent five and a half years in study, while associated with many young men as classmates and fellow students who have made Amherst College has no their mark in occasion to be ashamed of her 2,000 graduates who have gone forth during the past half century. This college is one of the very best types of our American colleges, which are institutions somewhat peculiar to America. They are like, yet unlike, the universities of the old world ; their excellences and peculiarities have been the result of the exigencies of American student-life. Their influence is most commanding and constantly increasing. While there is a tendency in some quarters to combine the colleges of the land into universities, yet we should hope the peculiar typical college of America would never be absorbed or pass away. It is an outgrowth of the fresh and free life of America. It is a marked feature of the age, from a missionary point of view, that colleges are now springing up in other lands modeled after the type of the American college, and not after the university-type of the old world. Roberts' College of Constantinople and the Syrian College at Beirut, are good examples of such institutions. Other similar institutions have already been started in other parts of the Turkish Empire ; a similar college is now projected for Brazil, South America; and also for Ceylon and other parts of India. Soon one will arise in Japan. " " 67 18.6. THK CHEISTIAN uisrio^r. REV. HENRY WARD BEECHER, Editor. Ellinwood'a aulnortz'ii verbatim reports each week of Mr. Beecher's Sermons in I*l. mouth I kuns.

O Truth of truth, ■Peace, It Is I.*" DR. HENRY SCHLIEMANN. AN AUTOBIOOtAPIIICAI. SKETCH. Few discoveries of modern times possess more poetic nnd historic interest than those of Dr. Henry Schliemann in the Troad. Within the last few years scholars have turned with renewed attention to the city immortalized by the genius and song of Homer, as the rumor has spread that the long buried walls of Ilium, its palace nnd temples and homes were slowly rising into view. Out of the dim and mythic past they seemed to some into the full light and nearness of the present day as if evoked by magic; one felt as if he were gazing on some fleet and elusive mirage or saw a vision which must in a moment vanish. But the city of Troy which Dr. H. Schliemanq professes to have discovered, is buil.t on very solid and enduring foundations us will be seen by all those who are so fortunate as to be able to read his work entitled, " Troy and its Hemains," translated and published in England in 187&. This gives in full the accounts of his researches from 1871 to 1873 at Hissarlik in the Troad. Here he unearthed the remains of four cities, the lowest being in all probability the Troy of Homer, a discovery of immense value to scholars and archaeologists. The facts calmly and carefully given are invested with the charm of romance. Bnt it is not our object 10 go at all into the history of these late discoveries, which are now known to the reading world. We have preferred rather to give in full the autobiographical sketch of Dr. Schliemann, which is included in the volume before us. One can not but be profoundly moved by its perusal. It is the simple, almost homely, yet intensely pathetic recital of the efforts which he made in the face of the greatest difficulties to accomplish the longed for purpose of his life. Every such history is a blessing to mankind. Better are such glimpses of a brave, heroic spirit than the resurrection of a buried city with its classic memories; richer treasure than the silver and gold of King Priam. \ l>. HUM, IS, of ten, 1 presented my father, as a Christmas gift, wilh a badly written Latin essay upon principal events of the Trojan war and Ithe the adventures of Ulysses and Agamemnon, little did I think that, six-and-thirty years later, I should offer the public a work on the same subject, after having had the good fortune to see with my own eyes the scene of that war, and the country of the heroes whose names have lieen immortalized by Homer. As soon as I had learnt to .speak, my father related to me the great deeds of the Homeric heroes. I loved these stories; they enchanted me and transported me with the highest enthusiasm. The tirst impressions which a child receives abide with him during his whole life; and, though it was my lot, at the age of fourteen, to lie apprenticetl in the warehouse ol E. Ludwig Holtz in the small town of Fiirstenberg, in Mecklenburg, instead of following the scientific career for which I felt an extraordinary predisposition, I always retained the same love for the famous men of antiquity which t had conceived for them in my first childhood. In the small shop where I was employed for five years and a half, first by Mr. Holtz ami then by his successor, the excellent Mr. Th. Huckstadt, my occupation consjsted in retailing herrings, butter, brandy, milk and salt, grinding potatoes for the still, sweeping the shop, and so forth. I only came into contact with the lower classes of society. From fire in the morning to eleven at night 1 was engaged in this work, and had not a moment free for study. Moreover I rapidly forgot the little that 1 had learnt in my childhood, but I did not lose the love of learning; indeed I never lost it, and, as long as I live, 1 shall never forget the evening when a drunken miller came into the shop. He wus the son of a Protestant clergyman in a village near Teterow, and had xlmost concluded his studies at the Gymnasium when he was expelled on nccountof his bad conduct. To punish him for this, his father made him learn the trade of a miller. Dissatisfied with his lot, the young man gave himself up to drink, which however had not made him forget his Homer; for he recited to us about one hundred lines of the poet, observing the rhythmic cadence. Although I did not understand a word, the melodious speech made n deep impression upon me, and i wept bitter tears for my unhappy fate. Thrice I got him to repeat to me those godlike verses, paying him with three glasses of brandy, which I bought with the lew pence that made up my whole fortune. From that moment I never ceased to pray God that by His grace I might yet have the happiness to «. were shipwrecked in a fearful storm off the island of Texel. After innumerable dangers, the crew were saved. 1 regarded it as my destiny to remain in Holland, and resolved lo go to Amsterdam and enlist as a soldier. But this could not be done as quickly as 1 had imagined, and the few florins, which 1 had collected as alms on the island of Texel and in Enkhuyzen, were soon spent in Amsterdam. As my means of living were entirely exhausted, I feigned illness and was taken inio the hospital. From this terrible situation I was released by the kind shipbroker J. F. Wendt of Hamburg, who heard of my mislortune and sent me the proceeds of a small subscription which hud been raised for me. He at the same time recommended me to the excellent Consul-General of the North German Confederation in Amsterdam, Mr. W. Hepner, who procured me u situation in the office of IVlr. F. C. Quien. In my new situation my work consisted in stamping bills of exchange and getting them cashed in the town, and in carrying letters to and from the post-office. This mechanical occupation suited me, for it left me time to think of my neglected education. First of all 1 took pains to learn to write legibly, nntl then, in order to improve my position, I went on to the study of the modern languages. My annual salary amounted only to 800 francs ('321.), half of which I spent upon my studies ; on the other half I lived, miserably enough to be sure. My lodging, which cost 8 francs a month, was a wretched garret wiihout a fire, where I shivered with cold in winter and was scorched with the heat in summer; my breakfast consisted of rye-meal porridge, and my dinner never cost more than a penny farthing But nothing spurs one on more to study than misery and the certain prospect of being able to release oneself from it by unremitting work. 1 applied myself with extraordinary diligence to the study of English. Necessity showed me a method which greatly facilitates the study of a language. This method consists in reading a great deal aloud, without making a translation ; devoting one hour every day to wr ting essays upon subjects that interest ope. correcting these under a teacher's supervision, learning them by heart, and repeating iq the next lesson what was corrected on the previous day. My memory was bad, since from my childhood it had not been exercised upon any object; but I made use of every moment, and even stole time for stiidy. I never went on my errands, even in the rain, without having my book in my hand and learning something by heart; and I never waited at the post-office without reading. By such means I gradually learn Greek. strengthened my memory, nnd in half a year There seemed, however, no hope of my I had succeeded in inquiring a thorough escaping from the sad and low position in knowledge of the English language.

"THE OLD SOUTH." This old Puritan Church of Boston lias become one of the most interesting historic relics of America. In sacred associations, connected with scenes of Revolutionary memories, it stands quite alongside with Faneuil Hall. For some years, however, it has ceased to lie frequented as a place for religious worship. The '• New Old South " has arisen in the growing and most fashionable part of Boston. The question has been long under discussion, what shall be done with the Old South" edifice? For some years it has been the post-office of Boston, but no longer being required for that purpose, the spirit of trade and the desire to utilize so valuable a spot as that upon which the building now 3tands, have demanded that it should be sold, and stores go up in its place. So strong has been the pressure that a few days sirtce,t!te Old South " was actually sold under the auctioneer's hammer for less than $2,000. The ruthless work of demolition had actually commenced. This was too much for Boslonians ! They could not see the building crumbling before their eyes ! The Key. Mr. Murray declares he wept over the sight! I have no doubt others did the same. But what was to be done ? " Love of gain," cares but little for tears of sentiment! An enterprising firm of merchants, as a last resort, proposed to give 8100,000 on certain conditions, provided 8300,000 could be raised, the sum sufficient to buy the premises. Seven days of respite were obtained, during which period a final appeal should be made to the public; of course Boston now must bring forth her most eloquent orators to address the people. A public meeting was convened within the walls of the 'sacred' edifice on the 14th of June, at 12 noon. It was my privilege to be present with the dense throng filling ground-floor and galleries of the building. Ii was worth a visit to America, to visit the " Old South " on such an occasion. " " a The historic Past stood pleading with the Progressive Spirit of the Age. The sentiments uttered on that occasion found expression from the lips of America's most finished orator, Wendell Phillips, and perhaps the most eloquent pulpit orator of New England, the Rev. W. H. H. Murray. From these eloquent appeals I shall quote a few passages : After referring to Bunker Hill, the old North Church and the revolutionary monuments, Mr. Phillips said that it was the work of men and the mechanics of Boston that made the Green Dragon so famous. (Applause.) The consecration that the Puritans gare to these walls, to Christ and the church in 1729 is annulled. The ark of Qod has FItIK Ml . HUSr. 18 76. sought a new and perhaps a better shelter, but these walls received as sincere consecration when Adams and Otis dedicated them to liberty. (Cheers and applause.) We don't come here to save the walls that have echoed to the prayers of Cotton and Prince and Eckley and the early saints of the colony. We come here to save the walls that echoed the sublime thought of Quincy when he said " No matter where nor how nor for what cause, I mean to die a free man and not a slave!" (Applause.) These arches will echo as long as they stand with this sublime and sturdy religious enthusiasm of Adams, with the unequaled eloquence of Otis, with Warren in his young genius and enthusiasm. I will not say it is a noble consecration, I will not say that it is a better use ; I only say we come here to save what our fathers consecrated to the great memories of the greatest struggle that the race has ever seen for the liberties of man. (Applause.) You spend half a million for a school house. What school so eloquent as these walls to educate citizens ? Napoleon turned his great Simplon road aside to save a tree C&ssar had once mentioned. Won't you turn a street or spare a quarter of an acre to remind boys what sort ol men their fathers were? Think twice before you touch these walls. We are only the world's trustees; the Old South no more belongs to us •Hum Luther's or Hampden's or Brutus' name does to Germany, England or Borne. Each and all are held in trust as torchlights and inspiration for any man struggling for justice or ready to die for truth. What does Boston mean? Since 1630 the living fibre running through history and owning that name, means jealousy of power, unlettered speech, keen sense of justice, readiness to champion any good cause; that is the Boston Land suspected and North hated and the Negro loved. If you destroy the scenes which perpetuate that Boston, then rebaptize her Cotton town or Shoeville. Don't belittle these memories ; they lie long hid, but only to grow stronger. You mobbed John Brown meetings in 1860 and seemed to have forgotien liirn in 1861. but the boys in blue led by that very mob, wearing epaulets, inarched fiom State street to the Gulf because John Brown's " soul was moving on " —that and the flag, only two " sentiments " led the ranks. Mr. Phillips then referred to the action of the city in reference to the Jonathan Phillips fund, and said that if Mayor Quincy could come lack he would rather have it expended for the saving of the Old South than in erecting a statue to his memory. Mr. Phillips closed as follows : Shelter the mechanics under the foof; consecrate it in its original form to a grand public use for the common run of the people, the bone and muscle. It will be the normal school of politics. (Applause.) It will be the best civil reform agency that the Republican party can adopt and put into execution today. (Applause.) The influences that linger in these old walls will forbid those men to be the tools of corruption or of tyranny, and at last in their hands 1 shall go to my grave knowing that neither need, greed, nor the- necessity of wider streets, will t-ver desecrate wlr.it : Adams and Warren and Otis consecrated to the liberties of man. (Applause.) '• The Chairman then introduced the Rev. W. H. H. Murray, who said Gentlemen of Boston—l have read of a custom in heathen lands, where after the feast and the joy were ended they served up a human sacrifice, and I feel that perhaps you have feasted to your fill, until the cup of your joy runs over, and you are ready for a sacrifice, for you know that a man might as well die oratorically as speak after Phillips. Mr. Murray said that the Chairman had requested him to speak with special reference to the money aspect of the case. He impressed upon his hearers the necessity of work if they would save the old building. The question of values comes in to lie considered in this meeting. You are a jury of appraisement. The great and living question which comes before us is : Is this building worthy of preservation ? There is no value in anything material save as it benefits mankind ; and the measures of value is the healthy, educational, salutary and sublime influence which it has upon those who use it. Unless this building can be utilized for the benefit of the people it is belter that it should go. The speaker claimed that it was the spiritual and not the material which made the value of a city, for a city which possesses only material things may be swept from the face of the earth. Mr. Murray spoke of the destruction of ancient, historic structures in Boston, and showed the extent to which their absence would be felt in future in emergencies. He said that he had heard many suggestions concerning the use to which the building should be put, and he expressed his satisfaction with them all, Ins only restriction being that it should not lie prolaned by low uses. He thought that it should be made a Westminster Abbey, where future generations might come to gaze upon the portraits of the founders of the nation." The above brief sketch of Rev. Mr. Murray's address 1 quote from the Boston Morning Journal of June 15th, but can give the reader only a faint idea of the address as a whole. He was truly eloquent, and 1 thought aa much so as Mr. Phillips Mr. Murray is a man of fine physical development and great vital powers, now in the very youth of his popularity as an eloquent pulpit orator, attracting vast crowds every Sabbath. I listened to those two gifted speakers with an intense interest. The old building. Revolutionary associations, the old sounding board" suspended by a rope over the platform, the defaced walls, the noise of the streets, the shouting and clamorous crowd, the presence of the ladies in the galleries, and many other attending circumstances, all contributed to mnke the occasion one to be long remembered. Before the meeting closed, the announcement was made that funds had already been pledged, partially sufficient to purchase the building. An organization was formed and officers chosen. : " • �THE FRIEND, HKJFST, ADVERTISEMEHTS. Places of Worship. «. I*. 71 SAILORS' HOME! Seamen's Bktiiei Key. S. C. Uatnon. Chaplain. I*.

THE TREATY. Most heartily we congratulate planters, merchants, and all others interested in the passage ol the treaty, whether residing on the islands or in America. Long has been the struggle to accomplish the negotiation. It is good twenty years since Judge Lee went to Washington on his mission, and was then confident of success. He has been followed by Judge Allen, Judge Harris, Hon. J. Mott Smith, W. M. Gibson, Esq., Hon. 11. A. P. Carter, and others unofficially.

For some of the most vivid and truthful descriptive pen-pictures of the passing age we must turn to the writings of the old Hebrew prophets. They were most marvelously inspired to unfold and portray scenes and events which would occur thousands of years after they had passed away. Standing on the mount of prophetic vision, they glanced with unerring ken far down the vista of coming centuries. The future was then present to their entranced minds. They doubtless saw and described events which they could not fully comprehend. In some- visited Washington, we can appreciate the trying and perplexing work which has been accomplished. In the final passage of the treaty, we can well imagine that Judge Allen, the Hon. Mr. Sargent and others mußt have worked with much skill and wisdom. All honor to those wbo have rendered a helping hand. We think some ot our readers will be interested in the following analysis of the final vote in thing more than a dim out-line, they saw what would come upon the earth; what the Senate: Yeas.

The prophet's eye seems to have swept the horizon and caught a glimpse of the kingdoms of the world, and the inhabitants of the same, as they are now running to and fro and increasing in knowledge. Some are inclined to imagine that crime and dishonesty, anarchy and misrule, are the predominant features of the passing age. There is much over which the eye of pity may weep, and which causes a blush of shame, yet there are brighter views which may be taken, and such as are most hopeful and encouraging. Although passing rapidly from city to city, spending only a day or a Sabbath in one place, yet I have been striving to learn what are some of the great lessons which God, in His wonder-working providences, was now teaching the church and the world. God is acting and working through human society and human organizations. I cannot for one moment doubt but that God is controlling and guiding this vast and complicated mechanism of the world's affairs. lam coming more and more to view human society as one vast organism, animated by the spirit of God, or under His supreme control. Human society is not a dead and inert mass, but a living, throbbing, pulsating body, each member of which is acting his part, and most responsible part to a great end. We are not separated and isolated atoms resembling grains of sand only touching each other externally, but connected together by many links,, bands and ligatures. During the months which have elapsed since I left the islands, and until my return, I have endeavored to be a close observer of passing events. I have enjoyed rare opportunities for seeing a gathering of the nations around one of the most, or perhaps I may say, the most remarkable exhibition of the skill, labor and genius of the world which was ever made. There ha-fc been in former times exhibitions of a nation's growth and wealth. It has appeared what one nation could achieve, or had accomplished, but now the nations of the world have made an eflort to exhibit the world's standing. What now are some of the great lessons taught by this immense gathering and herculean effort to exhibit the products of the various nations of the earth ? Although this exhibition has occurred in America, and upon American soil, yet it is most strictly an international aflpir. I cannot view this �THE 74 M(li:.\lli merely materialistic, mechanical, mercenary—God, as well as man, has a hand in this movement. It has bearings upon the church and the cause of truth, while even I cannot but.view it with reference to its remote bearings and effect upon the great missionary question, a question inferior to no other which can be contemplated by the human mind. Most questions which vast exhibition ns absorb the thoughts and occupy the minds of men, are of a transitory and temporary nature, but this question of missions touches the world in its most essential and important points, and extends forward in its far reaching results to the end of the world, ami the consummation of all things. CENTENNIAL AMD KNOWLEDGE. The first thought to which I would now call your attention is this, that during this Centennial year there is to be n vast increase of useful knowledge among the nations of the earth. The Centennial Exposition is now accomplishing this most desirable result. Thousands and hundreds of thousands will leave their homes and trnvel this year, who never before imagined that it was possible for them to go beyond the smoke ascending from their hearth-stones. This is true, not only of Americans, but of a multitude of visitors and tourists from Europe, Australia, India, China, Japan and the islands of the sea. From the day these visitors leave their homes in remote parts of the world until their return, they'are gathering up useful knowledge which they will take back with them to be diffused abroad among their neighbors and friends. After this manner, knowledge—scientific, literary, historicaland religious—is to be most marvelously increased. This knowledge, in due time, will be utilized and made subservient in a thousand ways to benefit and ameliorate human society. No one sight is more common in all the grounds and buildings, from day to day, than the great number of persons taking down notes ond recording their impressions. Many are doing this for private reference, and others for publication ; but all in order that they may return home freighted with useful information which is to become a matter of conversation in numberless family-circles and neighborhoods throughout the wide world. How wonderfully will be increased in this way the range of topics upon which men, women and children will hereafter converse. The tone of conversation will naturally become more varied, elevated and profitable. Every department of human invention is to be discussed, until much more useful information permeates the common mind and all ranks in society. Different visitors will compare notes and draw inferences whiiA will become part of the amount of human knowledge. SABBATH QUESTION. SKPI E M I E It, ings upon the Sabbath. This led to a public discussion of the Sabbath question throughout the United States. The enemies arid friends of the Sabbath and Christianity were aroused. No subject has interested the minds of so many people throughout the country for a long time. The opponents were confident of success, and the friends of the Sabbath, virtue, morals and Christianity were tremblingly nnxious for the result, because of the strong appeals which were made to the public and the Directors by the enemy. For a season, it renlly seemed doubtful which way the vote would be cast. Much earnest prayer was offered in private nnd public, that God's law might be sustained. The time came for the final vote to be taken, which was done by delegates voting according to the States of the Union which they represented. The final vote stood three to one for closing the grounds upon the Sabbath. It was a grand and glorious triumph for the Bible and the right. It silenced that foolish and untruthful clamor that the enemies of the Sabbath had kept up, that the people demanded the opening of the Centennial " upon the Sabbath. The " people demanded no such thing. The hearts of the jieople of America are right upon the Sabbath question, and many other moral and religious questions, which the enemies of truth and righteousness are trying to break down and over-ride. A report of this decision is to go abroad to other nations; it will strengthen the hands and cheer the heart of every missionary in heathen lands,—in India, China, Africa and the islands of the sea. Unless we can retain the Sabbath and its observance, farewell to true religion and a pure Christianity. The people must have a day for holy rest. God gave the world a Sabbath—a day of holy rest; let us not throw away the rich legacy. The importance of this decision cannot be overestimated ; it is a victory on the grand moral battle field of the nations. Most proudly has the banner of Christianity been made to float over America. It will be recognized in foreign lands, and knowledge ol the Christian religion will thereby be increased and spread abroad. It was cunningly and falsely argued that the Sabbath was the poor man's day for rest and leisure, hence the centennial grounds and buildings should be thrown open on the Sabbath as on other days of the week Never was a more false and erroneous position assumed, and the common sentiment of Christians of all religious denominations has so decided the question ; and most fortunately the directors of the great centennial have acted in harmony with this sentiment. I am not sure but the manufacturer and owner of the great engine in the machinery building had some influence in the premises, for he is reported to have said that if other parts of the centennial were opened, his magnifi- This knowledge wilt not relate exclusively cent engine should not perform its accusThere was to machinery, inventions and material inter- tomed revolutions on that day. ests, but questions of a moral and a religious also a rumor that England's commissioners nature are to be discussed.

CENTENNIAL AND EDUCATION. The second marked feature of the centennial, to which I would call attention, is the great prominence given to etlneutional nnd affairs. Nations, states, cities,eachtowns other to individuals have vied with render the centennial a success, and have contributed books and every variety of skill in penmanship, drawing and composition. The State of Pennsylvania has erected a large building almost exclusively devoted to the cause of education. All the means and appliances to lit up and equip a good school, primary or high, are there on exhibition. No one can fully estimate the vast amount of useful knowledge which is thereby to be diffused abroad, throughout America and the wide world Teachers nnd educators are there comparing notes and making there observations. So prominent appeared this feature of the centennial that it assumed the appearance of a vast school in itself, nnd the thousands of visitors were scholars resorting thither to advance and promote their education. The great educational interests of the world are to be elevated, promoted and ad- vanced. Furthermore I would remark that agriculture, mechanics, manufactures and the fine arts arc so fully represented that the condition of the world at large may be there learned without visiting foreign nations. England, France, Germany, and every nation of Europe;—Turkey, China, Japan, Brazil, and many other remote nations have brought their choicest productions. Africa, Australia, New Zealand and Hawaii have come forward with their respective quotas, so that the centennial is one great international exposition of the world's progress. Knowledge will thereby be increased in all the various and numerous departments of industry and the arts. CENTENNIAL AND MISSIONS. I shall be much disappointed if the missionary enterprise is noi vastly promoted by this gathering of the representatives of all nations. As visitors from the remote parts of the world return, they will have much to report respecting the cause of true Christianity. Will not the visitors from Japan, China, &c, go back wiser men? The influence of the Bible and the Christian religion will hereafter find many to speak in their behalf, who have hitherto been silent. In one part of the grounds was a Bible depository, where the sacred scriptures, in over one hundred different languages, could be obtained. There could be seen the mighty impulse which the missionary enterprise had given to the world. These various translations had in very many instances, been made by the missionaries. To the thoughtful and reflective mind, here was the mighty engine which moves the world. In the machinery building there was a mighty steam engine built in Providence, R. 1., to which I have already referred. It was reported as the largest engine in the world. Often as I walked through that department, I was impressed with its stately and grand movement. The vast and complicated machinery of the whole building wns propelled by this �i in; friend, si:v\i;>i b i; i: one great engine. The idea was grand, and the result wonderfully satisfactory. Passing from this department and visiting the little modest edifice where bibles were sold and given away, I beheld a source of moral power vastly more grand and magnificent than any display of mechanical forces urged forward by steam. Blind and exceedingly stupid it appears to me must be that man, who does not recognize the Bible as the great source of moral power in America and the world. It has made America, Germany and England superior to all other nations in their systems of government, education and whatever contributes to a nation's true grandeur and nobility. When this fact is duly set forth and carefully considered, it appears to me the cause of missions and true religion will have a momentous impetus given to them by this centennial exposition. With the increase of every species of knowledge, but particularly knowledge relating to morals, education, and true religion, the world is to be lifted up to a higher plane. It is to be made more and more manifest that knowledge is power, and that ignorance is the foundation of much of the misery, crime and sorrow which now afflict the nations; hence efforts will hereafter be more energetically put forth to remove ignorance and counteract the evils which exist among the nations, and on the other hand truth and whatever tends to promote virtue and good morals, will be encouraged. 'Ihe cause of true religion will thereby be wonderfully advanced. prayer, saying, " Our Father," we do thereby include within this petition every dweller upon the earth. Does the simple word our include merely the members of our own family, neighborhood, village, town, city, state, nation ? No, certainly not; but it embraces all of our fellow men, to whatever nation or tribe they may belong. The whole human race forms but one great family, of which God is the Father—He is "Our Father in heaven." This idea is quite too much ignored and lost sight of I think, the tendency of the great gathering at the Centennial will be to bring into marked prominence this forgotten sentiment. CENTENNIAL AND CHRISTIAN UNION. of many other exhibits. Hereafter the Australian Colonies, the Kingdom of Hawaii, China, Japan and other nationalities arc to be made known and appreciated. Americans and Europeans are quite too much possessed with the idea that because they are great in armies and navies, they are vastly superior to other nations ; but they will learn that all the taste, culture, refinement, talent, skill and ability are not exclusively confined to Anglo-Saxons. I honestly think the great Centennial will tend to take the conceit— self-conceit—from Americans and Europeans. II so, much real good will be the result. Visitors will goto their homes in America, Europe, Asia, Africa anil the islands of the sea, wiser and better men—more humble, more sensible, more appreciative of others, more conscious of their own defects and short comings, and more aware of the good qualities in the characters of others. Travel is said to liberalize nnd refine a man. Now this greut Centennial gathering will have this result upon an enlarged scale. The friends of every department of science, knowledge, invention and improvement are awake. During this season there have been held special conventions for the discussion of every important subject. The friends of temperance have had their convention, so also have literary men—authors have had their special gathering. Physicians have come together to compare their notes. On the very last day of my stay in Philadelphia I visited Old Independence Hall, where the Declaration of Independence was originally signed, and where the Fourth of July exercises were this year held, and there I found crowds of visitors; and in Carpenter's Hall, near by, was convened a Peace Congress or Convention, where the evils of war were A"uiti 1 would remark. There is certainly a tendency in our day to bring all true and evangelical Christians into greater harmony. The centennial has done and is now doing much in this very line. As Christians of the various parts of the land and the world come to understand each other better, they will be found to be more free, open and cordial in their fellowship and intercouse. The more Christian intercourse is promoted and encouraged, the less manifest will appear those divisions and sectarian party prejudices which have for so many ages alienated the friends of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Already the Centennial has done much to bring the North and South together. It is quite impossible for those living in the South and the North to meet together on the Centennial grounds and not part better friends. Both parties will return to their homes with more kindly feelings towards each other. What is true of the inhabitants of different parts of America is still more true of those coming from remote parts of the wide world. God " hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on nil the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bounds of their habitation; that they would seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far from every one of us." Every movement then in the line of bringing the nations together and inducing them to become better acquainted with each other is good, and it ought to be encouraged. All are members of the one great family, and all may offer the same prayer and say, which art in heaven." When "we,Ouror Father our fellow Christians, dilTcring from us in color, nationality and sect, offer this CENTENNIAL AND FRATERNIZATION AMONG NATIONS.* Finally, this gathering is to have a good influence in promoting a better ac- quaintance among the members of various nationalities, and will lead to a more full appreciation of each other. The Apostle Paul exhorts to " honor all men." Now we have come to despise some men and some races, Chinese nnd African. This is wrong. Man is to be respected and honored, because he is a man—a fellow member of the human race,—a candidate for eternity. Nationalities are brought into prominence about which but little was known by the generality of Americans and Europeans. How few have heard of Orange Free State of Africa ? Yet as one enters the Main Building, products of Orange Free State are upon exhibition. The same may be said is 7 «. 75 denounced and the blessings of Peace advocated. All these conventions, gatherings, meet- ings and discussions cannot but result in much good to the cause of education, good morals, advancement of science, invention, and true religion throughout the wide world. The nations of the earth are coming to understand each far better than formerly. The force of public opinion is becoming felt all over the world. As many run to and fro and knowledge is increased', the world ut large is vastly benefitted. It Will be more and more apparent that if one nation suffers, other nations will experience the effects. Nations must now come together, they Annot remain separate and isolated. The old and exclusive policy of China and Japan has forever passed away* England and America have compelled those nations to join the great family of nations, and treatieshave been formed with them. Now, shall America draw back from this advanced position, because the Chinese come to us with their peculiar civilization and customs ? Revolutions, it is said, go not backward; neither can the progress of the age be retarded. America and Europe need India, Chinti, Japan, as much as those nations need Europe and America. Then over all, who can for one moment doubt that God in His wise Providence is now overruling events occurring among these nations, for His own glory and the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. I have already referred to the prophetical sayings of Isaiah, but those of another arc suggested to mind. "Thus saith the Lord," by the prophet Ezekiel, "exalt him that is low and abase him that is high. I will overturn, overturn, overturn it, and it shall be no more; until he come whose right it is, and I will give it him." Is not God doing this very thing during this centennial year? God is now overturning and revolutionizing among the nations of the earth and preparing the way for the final coming of His Son. To this grand and sublime result tend all the converging lines of Old and New Testament prophecy; to this end tend all the revolutions ami wars among the nations of the earth; to this end tend all the advances made in science and knowledge ; to this end tend all the efforts of Christians and philanthropists, for the amelioration of the condition of the human race ; to this end tend the labors and toils of missionaries and all evangelistic agents throughout the Christian snd heathen world. This running to and fro— this increase of knowledge—is all under the wise control of that all-wise and almighty Being, who originally created the universe and has sustained it throughout the long ages of eternity past and who will continue to uphold it throughout the never-ending ages yet to come.

As I have now commenced my homeward journey, while a feeling of love and pride for my native land animate my soul, yet for Hawaii and Hawaiians I cherish the wannest affection and tenderest sympathy. Three Days In Washington. Monday morning, July 17, 1876. My fust visit to this city was in 1851,but since that date a full quarter of a century has passed, so far as time is concerned, and touching changes and improvements, it may be said a century has passed over the city. In former times and days of slavery, this was a portion of the United States completely under Southern rule. The old jail is still standing, where slaves were imprisoned en route to the markets of the South. Such a state of alTuirs was of course a burning shame and living disgrace to a nation boast- ing that it was " the land of the free." With the fierce tornado of war, a new Washington has arisen. Formerly it was one of the most ill-managed and poorly conducted cities of the Union, but now, in the words of one of the Representatives with whom 1 was recently conversing, " Washington is the best paved, best lighted, best sewered, best managed, and becoming one of the most beautiful cities of the Union and the world." It is no longer spoken of as the city of " magnificent distances " and " open spaces," but is rapidly filling up with beautiful residences, pleasant homes and magnificent public buildings. The " State Department " is now going up, and built of granite. Other public edifices would be an ornament to the capital of any great nation. The next day after my arrival, I visited both Houses of Congress which were in session, and also the Congressional Library of 300,000 volumes. The business before.the Senate related to the currency question, but there sat ex-Secretary Belknap awaiting his trial! In the "House" I could with difficulty learn the exact nature of the question under discussion, but the speaker strove hard to keep the members in order ! Having once been permitted to visit the Houses of Parliament in London, I could not but take a lively interest in viewing the assembled wisdom of America as contrasted with that of the mother country. "Comparisons are said to be odious," so I'll say no more upon this topic. In visiting the Treasury Department I was much interested in the manufacture of bank If I caught the right idea, the notes. of the bills are prepared by the backs" " bank-note engravers of New York, while the faces are nil printed, stamped and signed in the Treasury Department. "Greenbacks" are printed in New York, but the " bright faces " in Washington ! Saturday, July 15, I devoted to Mount Vernon. A nice little steamer, the Arrow, runs daily between Washington and the spot so much cherished and reverenced by all Americans and multitudes of visitors from foreign lands. I found the " home" of Washington just as it is described in so many School hooks, histories and journals ol �THE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER. travelers. The premises are kept in good order, and the curators aim to preserve the much as possible. "1 ancient " landmarks as can fully endorse the sentiment of Edward Everett, who did so much to preserve Mount Vernon from utter dilapidation, and secure the sacred spot as a rich legacy to future and patrigenerations of American ots. "A visit," remarks Everett, "to the national capital is but half made unless it includes the home and tomb of Washington." With the dawn of the quiet Sabbath morning came an abatement of the intense heat which has for so many days, like the blast of a furnace, prostrated so many in all parts of the country, but especially in the cities. As 1 was a stranger in the city and unacquainted with the numerous preachers, I concluded to visit the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, not to see the President who worships there, for 1 had read in the papers that he was out of the city, but to listen to the gey. Dr. Newman, whose fame as a preacher, author, and traveler have become world-wide. I was not disappointed, as he occupied the pulpit of the church that morning. I cannot refrain from expressing my admiration of the preacher's great naturalness. In reading a hymn, passages of the Bible and the delivery of the sermon, his tones of voice and gestures were the most natural, I may remark,which I ever witnessed in a pulpit orator. From the beginning to the end of the service there was nothing "stilted." His text was from the epistle of Timothy, "Godliness is profitable," &c. To the sermon 1 listened with intense interest, for it appeared to be admirably suited to a wearied, tired and anxious audience, yet full of ambition and desire for wortlly gain. Before the public service 1 stepped into the Sabbath school and heard some good singing. While standing at the door a lady kindly addressed me, inferring that I was a stranger, and doubtless inferring that the of a stranger" in any place is open " heart to sympathy, she kindly made arrangement for the sexton to provide me a seat in the church. To my surprise I learned that she was the pastor's wife,—Mrs. Newman. Dr. Newman has just prepared a new volume of travels, relating to a part of his recent journey around the world. It is published by the Harpers and with this title, Thrones and Palaces of Babylon and Nin"evah." The dedication of the volume to his beloved wife is in the following words: " To her who was the choice of my youth, who accompanied me in my tour around the world, whose love of the beautiful, apprecia lion of the antique and enthusiasm in exploring, were to me a perpetual inspiration, this volume is affectionately inscribed " In the afternoon it was my privilege to accompany Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Newman, abott four miles out of the city, to the United States Insane Hospital, where he delivered a lecture to the inmates upon Palestine, but especially upon Jerusalem and its environs. Such a mode of address to those whose minds were sad and disordered, seemed in the highest degree appropriate. While in Washington it was my privilege to meet some whose acquaintance had been formed at Houolulu, nnd among the number were Mr. and Mrs NordhofT. They retain most Is pleasing reminiscences of their visit in 1873, and they assured me it would give them much pleasure to return and cast their lot among the people of the islands. During my visit, and while a boarder at the Arlington Hotel, where Judge Allen is stopping, I enjoyed frequent opportunities to converse with him and others, respecting the prospects of the Treaty. I find that there is strong opposition, but Judge Allen appears to be managing the affair with skill and ability. It is no pleasant or desirable undertaking to engineer a business of this nature, but requires great patience, tact and shrewdness, for Senators and Representatives are masterly inactive," except when pushing some measure intimately concerning themselves and their constituents. 77 7 <i.

St. Paul when his sight was restored, waited for no earthly license, but bearing his credentials with him in his changed life and unselfish appeals, began at once to speak for the Master. Many since have followed his example and have been blessed in so doing. Wesley did a larger work thiin if the church of England had per-' nutted him to work under their routine. Moody's field is wider from the very fact that he looks to no one denomination for position or privilege but is free to work with all. We suppose that the different denominational arrangements for examining candidates for the clergy, and ticketing as safe teachers, those who have carefully learned their lessons, have some advantages of practical utility, but these are so slight, that we confess to something of a quandary in the effort to decide whether they are worth while in the face of the sectarianism and weak mental dependence which such processes tend to produce. The world moves slowly, and we on this western margin of it, follow at a still slower pace.

Whoever looks at those relative movements marks time. The only sensible "eternal now " philosophy is Ithat ever the present is God's time for planning and working. Relatively to other things certain acts are done and past, so that you can say that " in the beginning," or further back than you can think, God did so and so. But not everything done by God was then done; and there is no reason to suppose that everything was then planned. God did some things once. He is doing other things now. The Savior said, " My Father works up to this time." God is constantly working. He initiates and maintains as much now as at any time. Why is it dishonorable•*> him to suppose that he is constantly planning as well as working? Where is the degradation to Deity to suppose that his thought is as fresh as his deed? One may posit fore-ordination as a speculation, but as dogma it is abominable. Who knows enough of the Divine Mind to assert that that is the way of its working —no, rather, the way it once worked ? The only admirable thing about fore-ordination as dogma is its audacity. It does violence to our religious instincts in relegating the activity of God to past time. It is not a definition of the Divine Mind, but its epitaph. It says not. Dens est, but IJeus fti'tt. It is not in keeping with the facts of the universe. Something new is always and everywhere appearing. It may appear o*.i the base of the old, but is new for all that. The appearance of the new increment is creation ever. The facts probably are that as much that is new has appeared to-day as ever came forth at any moment in the history of the universe. The new of to-day demands as fresh a pulsation of the Divine Will to bring it forth as the new of any beginning. The goings forth of the Almighty are not only "of old," but forever. To-morrow will be as new and fresh a day as the earth has seen. To-morrow the morning stars will sing together and t'"? sons of God shout for joy.

Live.—This was the garden party in honor we stood reading and As of the Treaty. over the idea pondering " by commerce we live," one of the King's ministers whispered in our ear, —" I suppose you would add to that, not by bread alone." Yes; that is just what we would have added, for the lawgiver Moses and the Lord Jesus Christ both endorsed the sentiment, that it is not only upon bread that men live, " but upon every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God." Deut., 8:3. Matthew, 4:4, " Man has both a spiritual and a physical nature." Bread will support his physical, but spiritual food is requisite for his spiritual nature. Many starve their spiritual nature while feeding their physical, hence the importance of quickening and sustaining schools and churches, and enlightening the minds of the people with Bible truths. By Commerce we motto at the King's Effects of Reciprocity.—Reports of the sale of sugar plantations, ranches and city lots, indicate that the effects of the Treaty are felt in the rise of real estate and quickening of trade. Never was a small community treated v. ith more generosity than the inhabitants of the Hawaiian Islands have been, by the Congress of the United States. The good influence of the Treaty will not alone be confined to the islands, but California, Oregon and Washington Territory will be favorably affected. The greater our island products of sugar, rice and other commodities, so much larger will be the amount of American products brought hither. Our planters will at first be more largely benefitted than any other class, but they cannot be made rich withoutthe community at large receiving a quickening impulse.

Japanese Students in Oregon. From the Pacific of August 17th we clip the following : At the late commencement exercises of Pacific University, at Forest Grove, Oregon, the graduates numbered six. Three of them were Japanese. These attracted considerable attention. One of them finished the regular course, and the other two graduated in the scientific department. They have been here six years, and two of them were for a time among the number who were supported by the Japanese Government; but when that government called its young men home from America, withdrawing all support, they remained at their own expense. These came from noble families, one having been an army officer, wiih 20 servants in bis house. When they came here they went into families as servants, and remained so a part of the time, partly to be more economical in the expense of obtaining an English education, and partly to more thoroughly learn American manners and customs. When tbey first came, some of the people looked down on them, and at times treated them rudely; but they stood on their dignity, and have gained tbe respect of all classes. They have shown themselves to be scholars and thinkers, or, as one of the other scholars said before commencement, " they are going to make us American boys ashamed of ourselves." Their orations showed that they were thinking about Japan and their future work there. One of them has become a cities of Cambodia to be as startling as the exhumations of Layard and Botta in Assyria."

Dear Fribnd—l recently spent a few days at Kiyoto, the old metropolis of Japan, and stronghold of Budhism, and will tell you a little of what I saw, especially the gates. The gate is often spoken of in the Bible as a matter of importance, both public and private. They are often, even at the entrance to private dwellings, quite expensive ; at the temples and palaces, still more so, and doubtless at the walled cities of the east, extremely so ; being erected to shut out enemies. In Isaiah, 45:2, and Psalm 107:16, we read of Gates of brass and iron.' Such gates could not be burned by enemies, when they * Turned the battle to the gate,'— ' Isaiah, 29:6. Perhaps a brief description of those which I saw may aid a little in understanding what is said in the Bible concerning gates. They generally had but two posts, which were from 12 inches to 24 inches in diameter, and they were united by a beam or bar, and either on the posts or on the ends of this bar, and at right angles to it, two other beams projecting each way according to the siae of the roofs, and on the ends of these two others parallel with the bar; thus making a square or an oblong foundation for the roof. It is covered with tiles, but first with thin shingles, then a slight coat of mortar, which seems to hold the tiles in their place, and when finished, resembles the roof of a house; and occasionally there is a considerable amount of carved work on it. Some of the larger ones had four posts, one at each corner; and under the roof of which, I suppose, 50 or 60 persons could be well seated. That may have been similar to that at which Boaz sat down to negotiate for Ruth, so also the king's gate in which Mordecai sat and would not bow to proud Haman. I suppose the gate of Gaza, which Samson took, doors and all, having broken or pulled up the posts and carried it all up to the hill top at Hebron—either had no roof, or it was higher from the bar than those which I saw, far otherwise it would have interfered with his head. But. without the roof, and with the bar on his shoulder, he could move as freely as a Hawaiian with his load on his shoulder. Solomon says,' He that exalth his gate, seeketh destruction.' On this a good writer says,' That men of rank in the Oriental World sought distinction by building their gate high, appears in the epithet given to the monarch of Turkey, • the Sublime Port' in plain English, the high gate.' Would that this self-exalting spirit were confined to.the east. It creeps out sadly everywhere, Although Kiyoto is not properly open to Christianity, yet that has got a foothold, and will, I trust, keep it. Through Mr. Neesima, a pious Japanese, of whom you may have heard, the government has consented that a scientific school should be opened here, and that three missionaries, besides Mr. Neesima, should assist in teaching in it; and though the Bible is not allowed in the school, yet in their dwellings they teach and preach just as they please. The Sabbath which I spent there it was thought that 400 persons heard the Gospel in the houses of the missionaries,—ten of these hearers are thought to be Christians. Yours in Christ, P. J. G. Letter from Pitcairn's Island. January 24th, 1876. Rev. Mr. Damon :— The arrival of H. M. S. Peterel on the 22d of this month was greeted by us with unfeigned pleasure, as we have not seen a British man-of-war since the visit of the Cameleon in 1873. Your letter was most welcome as showing that you have not entirely forgotten your humble friends, the Pitcairn Islanders. And we on our part, are happy to feel that in you, dear sir, we have a friend. We herewith send our grateful thanks for the reading matter you sent us,—so completely shut out from the world. Your most valuable paper, the Friend, is always welcome. As to general news of the outside world, we are kept pretty well informed by the merchant vessels which occasionally pass this way. Twice since last hearing from you we have aided (all in our power) shipwrecked seamen, the first being the crew of the Cornwallis, which was wrecked on the island just a year ago, and the second the crew of the Khandeish, who were wrecked on Oeno Island, and in their boats landed amongst us on the 29th September, 1875. Their stay with us was prolonged to two months nearly, being taken away on the 19th November by the ship Emerald, going back again to San Francisco. By the way, this brings us to the subject of Captain Hutchinson's grave. He lies buried near to the landing place of our little island, close by the side of Captain Howland, who found his last resting place here and was buried on the island in the year 1866. Only a simple stone marks the grave of Captain Hutchinson, but be assured, dear sir, that your request will be attended to without fail. Your sincere friends, The Pitcairn Islanders. Thursday O. Christian, Chief Magistrate. 1 .« . Miss Bird a Traveler. Many of our readers are only acquainted with Miss Bird through the pages of a most charming book, relating to the '• Hawaiian Archipelago." In tho August number of the London Deisure Hour just received, we find an article from her facile pen entitled " The Two Atlantics," giving a narrative of her voyage to Australia in an immigrant ship, when commencing her voyage of circumnavigation around the globe. Her visit to our islands formed a part of that voyage. In this same article, she alludes to having crossed the Atlantic " eight times" and coasting along North America " from Labrador to Florida;" then after returning from her fourth trip to America, to a health-seeking cruise of six months in a "steamer trading between the Mediterranean and North American ports." After leaving Honolulu she visited California, and spent some months in the wilds of Colorado. Few ladies of the age have traveled more extensively than Miss Bird. Perhaps a certain American young lady, Miss A.of Boston who visited our islands a few months since, may erelong out-travel this distinguished English lady. Miss A. has already visited every state of the Union (except Texas) including Oregon, and has besides traveled extensively in Europe. When bidding us "good-bye" a few days ago at the Occidental Hotel in San Francisco, she was contemplating a fall trip to South America, but had definitely decided to spend the coming winter in Egypt. Both these ladies travel alone. Explorations in Cambodia. On board the City of San Francisco, during her last trip from San Francisco to Honolulu, we had as fellow passenger a French gentlemen, Mons. F. Ratte, destined for New Caledonia in the service of the French Government. He has of late been employed in exploring the comparatively unknown regions of Cochinchina. In that part of the world are immense ruins, which are now attracting the attention of scientific men and archaeologists. We were so much interested in his account of these explorations,—his knowledge being derived from personal observation while there in government employment as an explorer,—that we requested him to note down a few points' of interest. The following brief memoranda will indicate the nature of those discoveries and explorations: The ancient kingdom of Cambodia, besides the actual Cambodia, occupied a great part of the actual kingdom of Siam and French Cochinchina. In those territories covered by many insalubrious marshes are numerous ruins of ancient religious and other monuments eon- �THE FIMKMI, OCTO B E X, cealed and lost in very thick forests and jungles, inhabited by elephants, buffalos, peacocks, monkeys and tigers. The most part of these monuments were first built for the worship of Brahma, but some of them of a later age however show ornaments and characters of Budhic style. Their architecture differs in some respects from that of the Indian monuments of Bengal. Narrow galleries, now frequented by many thousands of bats, were then filled with processions of the Brahmanists or Budhists, those galleries crossing each other and conducting to a central sanctuary. Mouhot, a French naturalist sent by England a few years ago fell a victim of the dreadful '■ fever of the forests," speaks with great enthusiasm of those monuments. About ten years after Mouhot, extensive explorations were made by Commandant Doudart dc Lagree (capita me dc fregate) who first represented (1863-1866) the French Protectorate in Cambodia, and who was the regretted chief of the exploration of Mekong (1866 -1868). He became a victim, as Mouhot, of the bad climate and died at the end of the expedition in China (1868). In the year 1873 the French Government sent a scientific commission, whose chief was Mr. Louis Delaporte (lieutenant dc vaisseau), who was officer under Commandant Doudart dc Lagree in the first expedition of Mekong. The members of the commission (1573) were: Mr. Bouillet, hydrograph engineer, Dr. Harmand, marine surgeon (now explorating Cambodia and Laos), Dr. Tullien, civil surgeon, as naturalists; Mr. Ratte, engineer, as geologist; and attached to the commission, Mr. Faraut, colonial engineer who directed the works of drawing by our marine engineers, and whose collaboration was very elaborate in that department. The list of the monuments has been much increased, und now we know about ninety or nearly one hundred ancient monuments, which Mr. le Comte dc Croizier has described in a book published at the suggestion of the recent geographical congress in Paris. This is a short notice of the specimens exhibited in the Museum of Coinpiegne, near Paris, where are preserved the samples of carved stones, columns, pilasters, Budhic statues, bass-reliefs, and inscriptions that we brought to Europe. We have no time to describe those very fine architectural works; let us say only that many years will be necessary to put down and publish all the plans, drawings, inscriptions and descriptions that we have gathered in that expedition, and that archaeologists are waiting for the interesting work that Mr. Louis Delaporte is preparing with the assistance of several of his com- F. R. panions. On board the City of S. Francisco, 24th August, 1876. American Students in Germany.—Fourteen hundred young Americans are prosecuting their studies at the universities and col- leges, music schools and conservatories of Germany, and recent criticisms and reports testify to their being very apt scholars; and, moreover, these reports proceed from German authorities, extremely exacting and not over addicted to eulogizing the foreigners.—Am- • rirHH JHI/lir. Is 7<i [Krutn the Boston Journal.) A Missionary Romance. An American Marries the Daughter of an Arab Sheik. The Rev. Philip Berry, of Belchertown, Mass., will soon publish a book relating a true story of a young man's experience, which will again prove truth stranger than fiction. About twenty-five years ago a company of young men started out from Damascus for Jerusalem. They had not gone far when a band of armed horsemen surrounded them and ordered them to halt. The leader of the band said the caravan might move on unharmed if they would deliver up one of their number, a young man named Randall, who should not suffer if he would come along with them peacefully. After a brief consultation the terms were acceded to, and the last look his companions had of him was to see him mounted on a fine horse, attended by the gay horsemen of the Bedouin Sheik of the Le Arish tribe, which usunlly winter in the neighborhood of Damascus, and in the summer move south and east over the great plain, seeking pasturage and water for their flocks and herds. Where the escort were to convey Randall he had no conception, but soon he found himself at the Sheik's tent, and to his great surprise a magnificent entertainment awaited him. With amazement he exclaimed, " What does this all mean ?" Arzalia, the Sheik's daughter, had seen the young man and fallen passionately in love With him, and this was the wedding feast. The young man and Arzalia were married at once. There was no escape for Randall, for his tent was faithfully guarded by night and his person closely watched by day, lest he should ,escape; and this guard was kept over him for years. He seemed happy with his unsought bride, for Arzalia proved her love for him was more than mere fancy. Children were born to them, and their domestic life was marked by kindness, courtesy and true affection. Randall rapidly acquired the Arabic language, his wife as readily mastered the English, and they taught their children both, which they speak readily. Who was this Randall ? in the State of New York lives his father, who has never seen the face of his son. This father is now over seventy years of age, and has a history almost as romantic as that of his son, for he was raised among the Indians and has traveled over the Mississippi Valley in search of fish and game. When he was twenty-one years of age the chief advised him to go to the white man (he was voluntarily among the Indians,) saying : " You can be more of a man among the white people than among the Indians." He returned and secured a Welsh lady for his wife, and while she was on a visit to her relatives in Wales this son was born. The mother soon after dying, the boy remained with his kindred awaiting the father from this country, but the father was unable to go after his son, who remained in Wales till manhood, and was taking a trip through Syria when he was . 83 faith, and their children were nurtured in the same way. Randall's son has become Sheik of the tribe, the father-in-law having died. A dervish, a zealot of the Mohammedan faith, had for a long time been endeavoring to stir up opposition and persecution on account of this new religion. He strove to have Randall's sons thrown out of the employ of the Turkish Government, and failing in this, turned his assaults upon a daughter of this foreigner, and charged her with withcraft. She was brought before the Meglis, composed of venerable Sheiks and Effendis, to answer charges which involved her life. The charges having been presented and substantiated as best they could be by witnesses, she was called npon to answer the charges through her advocate. She, although but fourteen years of age, responded, " Most venerable fathers, I will reply in person." And then, holding a Bible in her hand from which she frequently read, made a defence worthy an Apostle, and when she finished the unanimous verdict was in her favor. But the old dervish breathed revenge and determined to take her life. This trial was in October, 1872; in June, 1873, while Keren (for such was her name) was teaching a class of little children in a grove, the dervish stealthily approached, and before any one was aware he had murdered her and fled. The fleetest horses of the tribe, with riders armed, puraured and captured him; he was tried and executed. The last letter irom Lady Arzalia Le Arish Randall gave a most touching account of the trial and tragic death of her daughter, in which is this sentence : " Pray for me that my piety may be us humble as the violet, as enduring as the glive and as fragrant as the orient." In a few months the Rev. Mr. Berry will offer the readers of this sketch its entire story from the hut of the Indian to the tents of the Bedouin. Some members of the family contemplate visiting this country soon, when they will substantiate the story to a doubting public. Editorial.—When the Rev. Mr. Berry's book appears we shall hope to see a copy, for the romance of this narrative almost equals a chapter of the Arabian Nights' Entertainment. We have read a statement in the Boston Congregationalist, that the American missionaries at Beyrout had never heard of this Mr. Randall. Eighty Chinese boys left Hartford Monday for the centennial. At New Haven they were joined by about 30 more.' They are the Chinese students at school in this country under the superintendence of the Chinese educational commission.

We find several publications on our table received by late mails,setting forth the evils of intemperance and the curse of rum in India, England, and the United States. One of the documents has the title " License Reform," and is written by Alexander Balfour, Etq., of Liverpool, in the form of a letter addressed to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M.P. It appears that Mr. Balfour has visited Norway and Sweden, where he thuds a license system in force, which he wishes to introduce into England. It is referred to as the " Gothenburg System." The following were the leading principles on which it was based, viz.: 1. To reduce the number ofpublic houses. 2. To improve their condition. 3. To provide warm food for workmen, so as to change public houses into eatinghouses. 4. To employ as managers respectable persons who should derive no profits from the sale of spirits, but only from the sale of cooked food, tea, coffee, beer, seltzer and soda waters, iv. 5. To refuse to sell spirits on credit. 0. To secure strict supervision of all public houses by inspectors of their own, in addition to the police. 7. To pay to the Town's Treasurer, after payment of interest on capital, all the profits that accrued on sales of spirits. The company commenced operations in 1865, and has steadily pursued its course in accordance with the principles above stated. The results of these arrangements are obvious to all who visit Gothenburg, inasmuch as they find not only that the streets are entirely free from drunken persons, but that the behavior of the people in every part of the town is marked by the utmost propriety and decorum. We visited the whole town ¥111 t N It, OCTOBER, 1876. during the two days of our stay at Gothenburg, without seeing one drunken person. On one evening we went to see the lowest parts of it, but such places as the " slums " of some of our large English towns we could not discover, and were told that they did not exist. The houses of the working people appeared to us to be well built and well kept, and no extreme poverty was visible. We observed a striking contrast between these public houses and our own in this respect—that at Gothenburg the people were almost all taking food, showing that the purpose stoadily pursued by the company of transforming public houses into eatinghouses is being largely accomplished. The attendants were for the most part females, the managers being men. A bill of fare was hung up in each public house, from which we saw that a well-cooked dinner could be obtained for sixpence ; but the aim of the company goes much beyond this, viz., to provide food at tbe lowest price for the poorest people, and they enjoined their managers, some years ago, to keep ready a plentiful supply of vegetables cooked with pork, from which a dinner could be made for ten ore, equal to about a penny and three-eighths in English money. Under this system it appears that drunkenness hss greatly decreased. There is one feature of the system that appears to meet with much favor; it makes the public houses support the police. We think if it could also be made to support prisons und pauper asylums, it would be improved. From this pamphlet it appears that intemperance has a fearful sway in Liverpool. Mr. Balfour alludes to one feature of drunkenness in England with much sorrow: The condition of affairs amongst us is, in some of its aspects, more distressing and dangerous than even that which existed in Sweden previous to 1855, as it does not appear that women in Sweden had fallen under the power of drink. But, in England, alas! the prevalence of drunkenness amongst women is conspicuous and increasing, and wbo can look without alarm to a future generation brought up under the influence of drunken mothers and drunken sisters? I cannot, without the greatest sorrow and the most painful forebodings, allude to the fact that, fast year, 10,000 women were arrested in Liverpool -for being drunk, as against 14,000 men, and that the portion of our gaol allotted for females is crowded out. The Rise and Fall or the Slave Power in America. By Henry Wilson, vol. 2d, second edition. Boston, James R. Osgood & Co., 1876. The first volume of this work has already been noticed in the Friend of June, 1873. The second volume appeared last year, and we learn from the newspapers that volume third is nearly ready for publication, having been prepared by the Rev. Samuel Hunt, who was private secretary of the late Vice President Wilson. On opening this volume, our first inquiry was directed to the preface to ascertain whether there was any recognition of the Rev. Mr. Hunt's services in preparing this and the former volume. We found no such notice, to our great surprise, for while it has often been stated in public prints that Mr. Hunt has been for years engaged with Mr. Wilson in the preparation of this great work, yet there is no mention of his name. Knowing as we do that Mr. Hunt has acted in a much higher capacity than a mere copyist or amanuensis, we hardly think Mr. Wilson, with all his eminent abilities, did justice to himself or his old pastor and secretary, in not recognizing in some public manner the highly important part which Mr. Hunt has taken in the literary execution of this work. Mr. Wilson never disguised the fact that his early advantages were very limited, and that he was too much occupied with public affairs to sit down to close historical research and careful writing. This volume as well as tho former one, has passed through a severe ordeal, and critics of the highest authority in Boston and elsewhere have expressed themselves delighted with the style and manner with which the work has been executed. The North American Review and many of the leading papers inA mcrica, have come out with favorable notices. Although we have read most of the contents of this volume as they appeared in the New York Independent, yet we arc reading them again with increased delight, for there is a transparency in the style and a clear analysis of the subject, which makes a work of history read like a romance. Fables of Infidelity and Facts of Faith: Being an Examination of tbe Evidences of Infidelity ISy Rev. Robert Patterson, D.D.; reviled and enlarged. 11. X Simmons, 160 Naasau street, 1876. — This is a handsome volume of 528 page-;, which we obtained just as we left San Francisco. To our surprise we found the author to be a pastor of one of the Presbyterian churches of the city, who formerly preached in Cincinnati. This volume appears to be made up of a scries of tracts or papers which he prepared years ago to meet the phases of infidelity as they appear in the great West. Dr. Patterson writes to meet an existing state of public sentiment, and makes capital use of the materials at his command. This edition is " revised and enlarged," as he has made a visit to Europe and Palestine since the first publication of the book. It is a book we can most cordially recommend to the reading of such persons as take pleasure in fancying their " ancestors were monkeys," and that the Bible is a book without a good basis upon which to rest. The author carries the " war into Africa," and meets infidels and skeptics on their own ground.-.. �[For the Friend.] . THE Young man, before you drink that glass think of your loving parents and sisters and your happy home. Perhaps your habit is not yet formed, and they arc even ignorant of your danger and cannot warn you. Stop in time and spare them and yourself shame and disgrace.

There arc more natives from Japan attending the Exhibition as commissioners, exhibitors and visitors than from any other country outside the United States and Europe. They meet us at every corner, and their appearance has become quite familiar. They are nearly all dressed in American costume; many of them speak English fluently, and they are almost invariably gentlemanly and polite in their manners. While exhibiting their own country in its products, they arc evidently bent on learning all they can about the rest of the world. The Japanese exhibit is large, varied and valuable, and enlarges our respect for them and their civilization. But we notice 1. That there is largely an eye to trade, rather than to the exhibition of their country in its products and its condition. Their collection is largely for sale; many choice articles arc already sold. The Japanese have been called the Yankees of the East. 2. They have no great inventions to exhibit—nothing to show that until they recently mingled with Americans and European nations, they have been making any progress. 3. Their labors and their manufactures are all intended to please the senses and cultivate the taste. There is no higher or nobler aim anywhere visible. The great idea of usefulness, ever before the mind of the British or American producer, is not in the thoughts of the Japanese. Is it not so with all heathen nations?—N. Y. Observer.

The departed never mingled in political affairs, but quietly passed along the even tenor of his ways, and hence his name is seldom mentioned in our island history, yet for more than a half century he has been at the bead of an establishment which accumulated large property, as appears from his will recently published. As many of our seafaring readers were personally acquainted with him, and not a few have had dealings with him in the way of ship-carpentry and other business, we think they will be interested in the following facts and the contents of his will, which incidentally brings out many interesting facts. Mr. Robinson was born in Poorfleet, London, November 8, 1798. After making a voyage to the East Indies as a carpenter's mate, he shipped in 1819 as carpenter on board the English whaleship Pearl. On her passage around Cape Horn, this ship spoke the Thaeldeus, bound to the Sandwich Islands with the pioneer American missionaries. How little the carpenter of the Pearl imagined that he was destined to spend his life on -these islands, and never again visit England or the mainland. The Pearl visited Honolulu for supplies in 1820 and 1821, and on the 26th of April, 1822, was wrecked on " Pearl and Hermes'' Reef, lying near Midway tnd Ocean Islands, situated about 650 miles to the northwest of the Sandwich Islands. At the time of the wreck, the Pearl was cruising in company with the English whaleship Hermes. The Pearl was first wrecked, and the Hermes ran down to look after her consort, when 10, she met a similar fate. After much labor a small vessel of thirty tons, called the Deliverance, was built under the superintendence of Mr. Robinson, which was safely navigated to Honolulu, (sin landing Mr. Robinson and a ship-mate, Robert Lawrence, cooper, found employment in repairing schooners owned by the king and chiefs. They were allowed to occupy the " Point," but many years passed before they obtained a secure title to the land. Years rolled on, and the firm of James Robinson & Co. (including Robert Lawrence and Mr. Holt) became wealthy, and carried on a business that employed a large number of ship-carpenters and caulkers. More whaleships were repaired at their establishment than at any other in the Pacific. The firm was always noted for their strict attention to business and prompt payment of all liabilities. Mr. Robinson survived both his partners, and during the last years of his life has quietly attended to his private business, and while not unthoughtful of the M), OCTOBER, 1876. future, has been making his arrangements to pass over his large estate into the hands of his ten children. We copy the outlines of his will from the Hawaiian Gazette of Sept. 13th, as it came up before the Court of Probate. Mr. Robinson died at his residence in Nuuanu valley August Bth. Having known the deceased for over thirty years and often met him in the intercourse of life, it is with pleasure we can bear our testimony to his integrity and gentle bearing. As appears from the above dates, his life has run parallel with the entire history of the American mission on these islands. Of late years it has been most gratifying to witness an exhibition of the old "patriarchal" type, in his intercourse with his numerous family relations, of children, grandchildren and others. Certain items in his will indicate that he remembered several of those known as laborers in his shipyard. "In the matter of the proof of the will of James Robinson, deceased. Before Mr. Justice Judd by request of Justice Harris at chambers. Petitiou ot Mark Robinson, C. P. Ward and Samuel C. Allen for probate of the will. The court after hearing the evidence in tbe matter admitted the will to probate and ordered letters testamentary to be issued io the petitioners without bond according to the terms of the will. Tbe testator died at bis residence in Nuuanu valley on the Bth of August last, leaving a -widow and ten children, two of whom, James J. Robinson of Kauai and Charlotte, now Mrs. Hasslocher of San Francisco, are by a former wife. The deceased leaves real and personal property amounting to $479,000, and distributed it by bis will « personal, the testator leaves to be divided between his eight children, by his second wife, ior their respective lives, and afterwards to tbeir heirs, and appoint* Curtis P. Ward. Samuel C. Allen and Mark Robinson executors and trustees and of the estate and guardians of his minor children, without bonds. On the hearing, the widow accepted the provisions made for her in the will in lieu of dower." Mr. Floyd of San Francisco, (formerly commander of the Idaho), the president of the board of trustees of the Lick donation, has been consulting Leverrier in Paris as to the construction and furnishing of the proposed Lick observatory, and the grounds of the Paris observatory have been thrown open for his use in making experiments with large apparatus. A refracting telescope with a lens one metre in diameter will doubtless be made in Europe at some of the celebrated factories. An Indiana rum-seller prosecuted Mrs. M. A. Johnson for calling his rum-shop in the temperance paper she edits, a " murder- mill." Unfortunately for him the facts she presented to the jury convinced them that she had reason to stigmatize it withthe title that so offended him. His saloon is not the only saloon that might be called by the same name.— lllustrated Christian Weekly. . TO THE PUBLIC!

Edited by a Committee- of tbe T. M, C. A. I rejnark, once more, that the pulpit itself has unconsciously lent itself to the great danger of making belief more important than the life: not in terms—for, in general, the pulpit most explicitly declares that the actual condition of the heart before God is the most important thing; but there is an insidious way of advocating a thing in terms and opposing it in effect; for it is more the emphasis than the statement that determines the effect of preaching. If a man were to begin every sermon in the year by saying, " God is love," and then go on preaching " God is just," in every sermon of the year, never developing anything higher, the milder statement would perish under the emphasis and repetition which he threw into the sterner; and men would see God, as it were, in a cloud, and would look upon him as a great wheel-turner, who sat moving the vast machine of the universe, leaving those who got in the way to be crushed. Thus, partly from the exigencies of government, in times of persecution—whey a man's life depended, from various causes, on what was called the fidelity of orthodoxy—men have come to be impressed that though they ought to be right at heart, yet it is far more important that they should be right in belief; and that a little goodness with a great deal of orthodoxy is a good deal safer than a great deal of goodness with a ragged orthodoxy. It is a spurious form of the old Greek idea that knowledge is the end of existence : and that to be accurate, to think right, and to put right thinking together systematically, is the main point: that there ought to be goodness, to be sure; but that knowledge is the main thing, and that goodness is a sort of sequence of knowledge. Henry Ward Beecher. Death of Mr. Aheong.—Intelligence was received by the last arrival from China, that Samuel P. Aheong died in China among his friends on the 14th of June. The career of this Chinaman is quite noteworthy. He came to the islands among the Chinese brought by Mr. Graves, more than twenty years ago, and was hired by Mr. Torbert of Makawao, who was so much pleased with his aptness to learn that he sent him to an English school, taught we believe by a member of the Rev. Mr. Green's family. Time passed on, and he married among the Hawaiians and became a merchant at Lahaina, where he made a profession of his faith in the Christian religion ; but in 1870 removed his church-relationship to the Bethel church of Honolulu. During 1868 and 1869 he was employed as a colporteur among his countrymen by the Hawaiian Board. Speaking several dialects of China and being a man of good abilities, he became an eloquent preacher, often addressing audiences of the Chinese in Honolulu and elsewhere upon the islands. In 1810, with his wife and two children, he returned to China, where he has taught srhool, but suffered much from sickness. Our recollections of him are most pleasant. He was a most genial and agreeable man; and speaking the English language with much fluency, it was delightful to converse with him about China and the Chinese—their history, religions and customs, and his conversion to Christianity. He leaves a widow and two children in China, and one child at Makawao. S. C Mission 1). Chinese in San Francisco.—One of the San Francisco papers has been looking into the working of the missions among the Chinamen in that city. It gives these results: The Methodists maintain a church of forty Chinese members, a Sundayschool and a night school. Five teachers are employed in the night school, which is attended in part by adults. Instruction is given in the ordinary English branches of learning. The Methodists also support a refuge and home for Chinese women. The Presbyterians have a Chinese mission church of sixty members, an evening school of 110 pupils, and a home for women. The Baptists have an evening school, attended by seventy scholars, and a Sunbay congregation offifty Chinamen. There are thirteen other schools sustained by the churches of the city, which are attended more or less by the Chinese population. Among How Long Does it Take to Transmit a Message Through the Atlantic Cable ?— The N. Y. Journal of Commerce has been investigating this question, and simple as it looks at first sight, there are many singular and.interesting points in the answer. When the electricity is applied to the cable at one end, two-tenths ot a second pass before any effect is feltat the other end,and three seconds are consumed before the full force of the current is in action. The first signal is felt in four tenths of a second, but the following ones go through more rapidly. As many as seventeen words have been sent over the Atlantic cable in one minute ; fifteen cap usually be sent under pressure, and twelve words a minutes is a good working rate. Messages of twelve words have been sent all the way from New York to London in two minutes. A fact not yet explained by the scientists is that the electricity does not move as rapidly from New York to London as in the opposite direction. Crossing the Atlantic in a "Skiff."— The bold mariner from Gloucester, who is now making his way across the ocean in a dory appears to be getting on famously. A Troy gentlemen who has been on a visit to London, and who returned by the steamer Greece, reports that in mid-ocean the watch the bow reported to the Captain that he descried ahead what seemed to be part of a wreck. As it neared the ship the object was discovered to be a small skiff, and in the darkness the figure of one man was descried. The Captain immediately gave orders to stop the engines and get the ropes ready to pull the man on board. The sea was running high. The skiffcame quite near to the ship, appearing and disappearing at intervals— now on the top of an immense wave level with the deck ofthe vessel, the next minute hidden from sight in the billows. The Captain, calling to know who was in the boat, was answered in a strong German accent: "I am John Johnson, from Gloucester, Massachusetts." He told further that he was bound to Liverpool; that his skiff was named Centennial, and that he had been out fifteen days. He then asked the Captain to compare reckonings. His was longitude 46°, latitude 39c the Captain's was the same. Johnson informed the Captain that he slept by day, and before going to sleep he took in his rudder and took down all sails ; during sleep, bis craft drifted with the waves. He was awake at nights. The captain made a final appeal to him to come on board, stating that if he refused, he would probably regret it when the vessel was out of his reach. To this Johnson emphatically answered, "No, sir; good night," and throwing his sails to the wind was soon lost to sight. Johnson sits in the centre of his boat, with a lamp burning before him, exposing the dial of what seemed to be a compass. The deck afore and aft is covered with canvas, under which, beside the compass and lamp, were several barrels, containing, no doubt, provisions, water, etc. When last heard from (July 23), Johnson was less than thirty-six degrees west of London. She has since arrived all right on the British coast.

It in one of the impulses beyond all human oouoeption or management by which God is moving the history of mankind onward to its great consummation." " The above paragraph we copy from China and the United States, by the Rev. W. Speer, D. D , and originally published in 1872. Every year's development only verifies more and more the truthfulness of the statement.//So impressed has Dr. Speer become with the importance of the Chinese question and its ultimate results upon America and the world, that he has resigned his position as Secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Education in Philadelphia, and started lor China. It will be remembered that Dr. Speer was formerly a missionary in China and subsequently in California, but in consequence of ill health was compelled to resign his duties. With restored health he has resigned his office, and now goes again to China to obtain information relative to the Chinese question, and returning to the United States will endeavor to enlighten the public mind. Dr. Speer is engaged in a will start homeward." Dr. Scott, United States Consul at this port, deserves much credit for his management of the large number of seamen suddenly cast upon the Consulate. He sent 118 as boarders to the " Home," and in ten days 100 have shipped or been sent to the United States, or have ceased to be an expense to the Consulate. Only about twenty remain at the " Home." It is quite noteworthy that not a sick man has been reported for the hospital. We have no doubt #2,000 or less will cover the entire expense to the United States Consulate, of the wrecked ships in the Arctic. " The Corner."—With an occasional interval Dr. Hoffmann has occupied the premises from which he is now removing, during the past twenty-seven years. His careful and exact method of putting up prescriptions has rendered his drug-store quite noted, while the oracular and wise sayings which have issued from " the corner" have rendered the spot almost as famous as the Oracle of Delphi. May many years of usefulness await the " doctor " in his Dew store, where the public may rest assured the very best of drugs and perfumery, and no others, will be put up. On " the corner," we learn immediately erect a that Bishop & Co. will good work. His visit to Honolulu will be new banking house. No better location remembered —about twenty years ago. He could have been selected \m Scries, M. 33. Prompt Punishment in the " South Seas." 1793—1876. Some months ago news came that a native of Apaiang, one of the Gilbert Islands, had murdered an Englishman. We believe the American Missionaries reported the case to the English Government. The man-of-war Renard was ordered to visit the island and see that the guilty murderer was punished. Instead, however, of standing by, as did the great English Navigator, Captain Vancouver, under similar circumstances, and seeing that the island authorities executed the guilty murderer, the commander of this vessel acted as executioner, or the punishment was inflicted by some of his own officers and crew. The following is the report as published in the Herald, an Auckland paper: " Amongst our items of news from the South Seas, per Ephemey, we hear of severe retribution on the Line Islanders, at Apaiang, one of the Gilbert Group, who committed a cold-blooded murder some months ago, and which we have already recorded. The savage entered the store of a white settler, and asked for some hair oil. On being told that there was none in stock, he answered that the store-keeper, Mr. Keys, should have reserved some for him. After a few more words he presented a revolver, and deliberately shot Mr. Keys, the wound proving fatal. The ruffian then decamped, and fearing vengeance, to another island. The cold-blooded and wanton murder being noised abroad, H. M. S. Renard was sent to search for the murderer, but until lately he has eluded all vigilance. In June last the Renard was at Apaiang, and hearing that tbe man was on the island, a message was sent to the missionary, Mr. Taylor, demanding his surrender. Through the influence of the missionary this was accomplished; there being no doubt as to his identity, he was ordered to be executed summarily. The mode of capital punishment was very simple. He was blown from a gun. and so complete was his destruction by this means that nothing remained of him but his legs." Tbe foregoing statements are confirmed by letters from the Hawaiian Missionaries as �90 THE FRIEND. NOVEMBER. translated and published in the Gazette of October 18th, closing with this additional: "April 29.—About half-past eight this the Dasdahis, approached Oahu, and lay off Waimea, on the north side of the island.

We see notices in all the recent New York papers of the death of this distinguished Divine and Pastor of the Congregational Church in Orange, N. J. These notices are most appreciative and eulogistic. In a private letter, dated Orange, Sept. 2&th, we have more fnll particulars respecting his sickness and the closing days of his useful life. '• Throughout his sickness," writes our correspondent, " he manifested the same triumphant faith which had characterized him always, and whenever we think of the glorious rest into which he has entered and the fulness of joy of which his great heart and spirit are now participating, we feel that grief at our loss should stand rebuked." Dr. Bacon's visit, with his family, to Honolulu, will be kindly remembered by all forming his personal acquaintance. One of his sermons preached in Honolulu, " There is a way out," will long be remembered from the helpful inspiration which it imparted to the hearer. We copy the following notice from the Christian Union : " The funeral services of the late Dr. G. B. Bacon were largely attended at the Orange Valley Church, Sept. 18th. The train from New York brought a large delegation of friends and ministers of all denominations, sorrowing ut theirloss, rejoicing in their brother's gain. The catholicity of Bro. Bacon's spirit had endenred him to a wide circle, which showed itself as Drs. Crosby and Robinson, of the Presbyterian Church, Dr. Hare, of the M. E. Church, Dr. Tiffany. (Episcopalian,) Drs. Elder and Macarthur, (Baptist,) with Drs. Storrs, Budington, Taylor, Clapp, and numerous other brethren paused beside this faithful, scholarly, Christian minister exalted to "king and priest" Rev. G. M. Boynton, of Newark, delivered a most appropriate address, outlining the character of the deceased in choice and fitting phrase. The service was such as our brother would have had it—simple, sincere, Christian—and all joined heartily in the prayers of Rev. Mr. Ely. thankful for hi? life in its richness and sweetness, and for his calm, peaceful entrance into eternal joy and service. " Perhaps to-morrow I shall touch the hem of His garment," said our dying brother. He touched and lives forever, above the power of sickness or distress. All sympathize with Dr. Leonard Bacon in the sorrow of his old age." Though some few drops of love may run beside to our kindred and alliance, yet the full torrent must run out after Christ; relations may lie in the bosom, but Christ must lie in the heart. �IHE FRIEND, abundantly confirmed by reading the two " eight-paged " New York Tribune extras The papers just received nnnounce the relating to the centennial, in which a gendeath of Prof. Snell, who was a member of eral survey is taken of all the various exhithe first class entering Amherst College in bits of the nations represented. 1821, and who has, as a Tutor and Professor, been connected with that institution ever Rev.

Teaching Blind Japanese to Read—An American missionary in Japan has devoted his attention to the philanthropic work of providing a literature for the blind in that country. This wns no easy task, for. although n raised type could be made without difficulty, to make a raised type in Japanese that would be legible to the touch required considerable ingenuity. In the Kalakana or current language of Japan there are seventy eight characters, which represent as many sounds, and many of them so closely resemble each other, and are beside so intricate m in their composition, as to present a difficulty in the way of their application to a blind syllabary which can only be imagined by students of the language This difficulty was overcome by applying the Romanized equivalents (which are seldom of more than two letters each, and seldom exceed three) of the sounds to the foundation of a syllabary. The success of this system has been une- quivocal and complete Pupils learn the new language with marvellous facility, and the government of Japan, it is stated, is taking measures to have it introduced into the blind schools and asylums throughout the empire. It is probable that at some future day the education of the blind in Japan and elsewhere will reach a point far beyond that which has been hitherto attained. There is really no reason why blind persons should not distinguish themselves in variou* ways. The absence of one sense renders the Other senses more keen, and the blind are often remarkable for an intelligence and reasoning power not to be found in many persona from the office of the New York IVibune, a file of " Extras" containing Huxley's lectures, centennial reports, ike.

Huxley's lectures, containing his peculiar views on evolution, were delivered in New York. He presents his opinions under three hypotheses : first, that the present order of things has existed from all eternity; second, that the present order of nature has only a limited duration, (this is j the Mosaic or Miltonic); and third, that the present order of nature has but a limited duration, but it supposes that the present order of things proceeded by a natural process from an antecedent order, and that (rom another order and so on. After discussing and discarding the first and second, he proceeds fully to discuss and endorse the third. After much discussion he arrives at the conclusion, finally, that there exists " a gelatinous mass which, so fur as our present knowledge yoes, is the : 'Mid the darkness of Kailua l.oog she shone, a heavenly tight | Gnlde— there was none kinder, truer.

There could be no more distinct assertion of his divine nature. Those who deny this must either prove that he never spoke these words, or must believe that he, the most lowly, and sinless, and meek-hearted of men, was guilty of a colossal and almost frantic intoxication of vanity and arrogance. For the Jews, more intensely than any other nation, recognized the infinite transcendence of Cod ; and therefore for a Jew, being merely man, lo claim divinity, would not only be inconsistent with ordinary sense and virtue, but inconsistent with anything but sheer blasphemous insanity.

Tourhed at Kauai the Bttfc, and on the 19th of April passed into Behrlng Sea, through the ITS panage; made ili>- ice on the 23d, and Cape Nsvrin ou the 24th; th* woathrr was cold, hut muchlew Ice than I expected to eec.

Took ou board of my ebip an officer and boats crew of tbe wrecked people. Cruised In Arctic 8«a two or threeweeks, and saw but very few whale*. Passed into BehrliiK -Straits May 14th, and|;ot B bohaad that day. On the 18th had a sninit H K gale, and lost the atarboaid bow boat, ('mined in tbe Strait* until Juno M, and then panned into tho Arctic Ocean, and commenced walraeaiiiKTook aboutI WW walrus during the inotith, which made us 1050 barrels oil. Worked up tbe ens! shore towards Point Barrow, anrl panned ley Cape July 12th, and Point Belcher ou the 14th. Here we heard of the bark Arctic being losl, having S4M crushed in the Ice. The captain and crew worked aonsi the ice, and we in roitijtany with the barks Onwark hihI Desmond, sent a boat, to their relief, and got ilinn ou board of our ship* on the 18th m-t. Transferred some of them to the Cornelius HoWland nnd Rainbow the name night. Prom this date worked up the east shore again "lowly, and continued fi, company with tho ttarksKainbow and others. Xhe Kalnbow got ashore ou tbe 24th, and they had to break'evorything out to get her off. Assisted Iniii to get off, and we got up to Point Burrow the 27th of July. Could not go any forlner with the ship, and had to wait there until August 14th, before we saw any whale*. Prom this dateuntil tbe last of the month; took 8 whnlet in the vicinity of the Point. Having had much westerty and snuthwenterly winds, and hoen troubled a good deal with Ice probably on account of so much westerly wind, *<> found It a much more Icy season than we anticipated, and tho latter part of August, about tbe 24th, tbe ice closed in on the laud, and beset the most of the fleet, and drifted them to the eastward outsideof the ground ice, passing th« Point on tbe27tb, wbeie two of n* w**re anchored, protected by the ground Ice, yet packed in by a heavy and Impenetrable bod* of ice, extending far away to the northw.-nt, north and uorthennt, nud in this the ton ships were drifting helplessly past.

And they found us still cloned In by tbe same great pack as they had drifted In for 60 or 00miles during the tea days prevlou*.

The two latter vessels laying Florence and Clara Bell. eight and sixteen miles to the b. W., bat just as hopelessly closed in as ourselves. And to help oa to live and support life, h strong party was to keep constantly out la the boat 1.Hiking for whales, and catch all that they possibly could for food for ns to eat. All of this and many more things were thought of and contemplated, end neglecting to send shore parties to th•s. W. to try aod communicate with tbe outside vessel*.

The appointed day, Nov. 30th, by the President of the United States, was duly observed in Honolulu by the American portion of the community. Public services were held in the Fort Street Church, where devotional and patriotic music was discoursed by the choir, while the Key. Walter Frear preached a most timely and eloquent discourse. It was highly appropriate to the occasion. Reference was made to the treaty and the Centennial, while there was a due mingling of fads, figures and sentiment. We hope it will be published in the Gazette or the Advertiser. The following hymn, written for the occasion by Key. D. Dole, was sung by the choir t thanksijivim; hvsiv.

Christmas and New Year's Holidays are Coming.—lt is not necessary to look into our almanacs to learn this fact, for our merchants, who cater for the young, are making preparations. Whitney has replenished his book store with beautiful holiday books and chromos ; Thrum & Oat are rebuilding and refurnishing; and Mclnerny advertises largely ; and in coming up Fort street, A. L. Smith's store has a fresh and splendid display of various sorts of holiday articles. Little folks and others buying books at Whitney's and Thrum ie Oat's, should go to Smith's and buy book cases and brackets, and other ornamental arrangements. Let the old folks buy spectacles, of which Smith has a large variety. We are glad to read letters from Miss and Miss Chamberlain, as published iv Coan the Gazette. If the income of the Friend would allow we would gladly encourage our islanders as correspondents traveling in foreign countries. We can assure those ladies that their letters are read with interest. tice reports of the testimony before the U. S. Congressional Commission, sent out from Washington to investigate the Chinese Question. This is right. Let the question be examined and the matter looked into. Would it not be advisable for the Chinese Government to appoint a similar commission to sit in Hongkong to ascertain the character and influence of foreigners—English and Americans—residing in China. Let facts be published as to the moral character of foreigners living in China. Such as the following question should be asked, How many English and Americans residing in China expect to spend their days in the country and settle among the people of the Flowery Kingdom? How many, if they should die there, expect to allow their bodies to be buried in China? How many become rich and expect to devote their riches to building up the Kingdom of China? How many have taken the oath of allegiance to the Emperor of China? Has the general character of foreigners in China conduced to honesty and morality ? Do foreigners iv China ever gamble or cheat? Do foreigners in China live up to the principles of Christianity ? Do foreigners residing iv China for the most part bring witn llicin their wives and families ? Verily there is still occasion to repeat the old Jewish Proverb: "And why beholdest thou the mote in thy brother's eye, but considercst not the beam that is in thine own eye ?" The Treaty Beneficial to America.— Whether the Treaty benefits the islands or not it is surely beneficial .to the United States, if our people arc able to pay for all the lumber and goods now being landed on our wharves from Washington Territory, Columbia River, Humboldt Bay, San Francisco and Boston. It appears to us that we never saw so many lumber vessels discharging in our port. It is just what we should naturally expect as the effect of the Treaty, hence the idea that possibly the Treaty will be repealed is ridiculous. Americans are not so short-sighted. We fully believe as we have always advocated that both countries would be mutually benefitted—America fully as much as Hawaii. with great regret a most melancholy incident which occurred at Waikiki on Monday last. On that day, the scholars of St. Alban's College with their parents and friends were entertained at a picnic by Mr. Atkinson, the principal of the College. During the forenoon, some of the boys went to bathe on the beach, and after playing together, were about to leave the water, when one of the lads named Chencry, when barely breast high in the water, was seen to double up as though attacked by cramp or spasms. One of his companions instantly took hold of him, but he was nearly drawn under the water, and call for help. Two other lads, sons of Major Wodehouse, immediately went to their assistance, and with great difficulty and bravery brought the lad Chenery to shore. Although'he had been taken out of the water almost instantly, the symptoms were sufficietit to show that he must havc,been attacked by a fit of some kind, and though every possible effort was made to reslore animation, the poor little fellow did not breathe again. A foreigner, whose name was not ascertained, rendered great assistance, und lor an hour and a half all that could be done to bring back respiration was done. Dr. McKibbm was ouicklv summoned from town, but declared life extinct, and further suited that the death hail most probably proceeded Irom a sudden attack and not from drowning. This U rendered clear also from the fact that the whole of the lads were under the personal care of the two ushers who remained on the beach, and that the deceased boy was during the whole time in company with the other bathers, and the period of immersion was too short to account for death by ordinary drowning. Although no blame can possibly attach to the authorities of the school, very great sympathy is felt for them, and we arc glad to learn that maay of the parents of the scholars have been thoughtful enough to personally express to Mr. Atkinson their sympathy and perfect confidence. The father of the deceased resides in San Francisco, and is a cousin of the Rev. S. C. Damon, and this snd event rr/ust call forth the deepest sympathy with both families.

Some years ago a seaman attached to a United States war ship lying in this port was wont occasionally to make us a call and speak of new aspirations which had been awakened in his mind. Years passed on, and we have received occasionally letters from him, in which his wanderings were narrated in South America, among the Andes, next in Europe, running an engine on a railroad in Italy, through the Mt. Cenis tunnel, after that in India, about Delhi and among the Himalayas. The last European mail has brought us a letter dated in Cumberland Co., England, at his native place, and from it we quote as follows : *' lam now writing a religious story of Highland life.

The following statement respecting this much talked-of enterprise, indicates that it is under serious discussion, and to be pushed forward : The Nicaraguan ship-canal to connect the Atlantic with the Pacific is estimated to cost $65,722,137, and to require five years of hard work. Its total length will be 61jJ miles, to which is to be added 63 miles of slack-water navigation on the San Juan river, and 56 miles across Lake Nicaragua —making a total distance from ocean to ocean of about l&OjJ miles. It is to have ten locks in the western division between Lake Nicaragua and the Pacific, including a tide lock at Brito on the Pacific coast to admit ships at any stage of the tide.

When Some of these systems were enforced by the he went there towards the middle of the sanction of rewards and penalties in another seventeenth century, the place was overrun world. Other systems had no reference to with ignorance, profanity, and vice. Only Lean Hard. another life. Some refer to a higher Power whose favor is to be sought, whose will is to be done. Others, and especially is this true of a modern sect of reformers, have much to say in favor of morality, while they ignore God and immortality. But these systems, or theories have made scarcely any impression #f the great mass of mankind. The power to renew the heart and reform the life is wanting. If these systems enforced by the powerful arguments of the wisest men that ever lived have proved powerless to reform the world, what hope is then that mankind will ever become moral and happy? There is a power that has proved successful in unnumbered instances in reforming ihe vicious, and in giving peace and hope to the wretched and desponding. This is the gospel glad tidings, which is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth. Is there not a power in the offer of freedom to slaves, of rest to the weary, of hope to the despairing, and of a blissful immortality to all who believe? Wherever the gospel has been proclaimed its effects have been wonderful. Justin Martyr in his . one or two instances of daily family prayer could be found in a whole street, and the Lord's Day was openly profaned. Through his faithful preaching of the gospel, the church members increased to six hundred, of whom there were not twelve, concerning whose sincere piety he had not reason to hope. When can infidel reformers show fruits like this? and so it was under the preaching of Whitefield and Wesley in the last century. The miners, ignorant, spending much of their earnings at the ale house, profane and quarrelsome went, with their faces begrimed with coal dust, to hear those preachers; and as they listened to the glad tidings of Jesus and his love, and his power and willingness to save, the tears ran down their cheeks forming channels through the grime, and they found a longing springing up in their hearts for a higher life. And thus thousands commenced a life of virtue, and peace, and joy,—a life which they felt assured would continue on forever and ever. A. What it the Gospel? There are probably few who have a clear or correct idea of the meaning of the word Gospel. Many doubtless, regard it as tidinjrs of a bolter way of spiritual advance- 104 YCMhoeriusntnH a'gAocf onolulu. ment than is offered by other religious arc convinced by its supeothers systems; rior credentials, and become believers, upon this ground solely, and never get any farther than a mental belief. Many authorized religious teachers rely, for the enforcement of the claim#of the Gospel, upon the sanction of regards and penalties in another world, if we may judge from their utterances. The writer of the preceding article apparently holds this view, for after referring to the system of rewards and punishments as a feature of some of those religious systems classed as failures, he says in delineating the influence of the Gospel, "is there not a power in the offer of freedom to slaves, of rest to the weary, of hope to the despairing and of a blissful immortality to all who believe?" Now we want to know, and the world wants to know what the Gospel is. Does it differ from other religious only in offering more valuable rewards and threatening greater punishments, or is it based on another and widely different principle? Is the "adequate power" which is to "eradicate selfishness from the human heart," the hope of reward and the fear of punishment, if not, what is it? We are of the opinion that no effort, however painful, or earnest, for rest or future happiness,— for their own sake, can be easily mistaken for unselfishness. We are accustomed to look upon the self-seeking that invests in the other world, as simply a shrewder and longer-headed selfishness than that enterprise which is satisfied with earthly stocks and securities. The wickedness of heathendom cannnt be denied, but why should there be so much wickedness in Christian countries? For ourselves, we are sure that it is not from any imperfection or want of power in the Gospel of Christ, but (his, whatever it is, must be preached in its purity and not pressed aside or adulterated with the inferior gospels of prudence or pride.

I.} and commotion among these nations dwelling on the shores of the Pacific, commencing at Cape Horn, passing up the coasts of South and North America, thence crossing over to Asiatic shores and so onward around and among the Australian Colonies, and all the Polynesian Islands. There is no longer quiet and stagnation, but activity and enterprise. A century is a short period in the world's history, but another century's development in the Pacific is to bring the balance of power much farther westward from the meridian of Greenwich. We see in this mighty movement a fulfillment ofthe old Hebrew prophet's prediction, overturn, overturn it, and " I will beoverturn, no more until He come whose it shall right it is ; and I will give it Him." ging I'aiik 1 I»l •••* 3, * 3 4 * *** & THE FRIEND. JANUARY 1. 1877. THE GREAT HEREAFTER OF THE PACIFIC. We have full faith in the grand future awaiting the inhabitants of the islands and the shores of the Pacific Ocean. For thousands ofyears the " Star of Empire " has been westward. Since the first issue of the Friend in January, 1843, we have witnessed an onward movement which is almost incredible. When the United States exploring expedition under Wilkes returned from the Pacific in 1841, this part of the world was almost unknown to the nations of Europe and America. Since that period California, Oregon, Alaska and other portions of the shores of the Pacific, have marvelously loomed up into the horizon. The wave from over the Rocky Mountains has met a wave from the shores of China and Japan. There is now a mingling of waters creating a vast commotion among the nations. When England opened China, and the United States Japan, those nations little imagined the influence which four or five hundred millions would have upon the world, when their old and conservative policy was broken up. There is no turning back. Th» gates have been opened; they cannot be shut. Commerce and trade are to have their influence, but Christianity is also to come in and exert an influence as potent as when the Roman empire submitted to the Cross. Dwelling on these islands of the Pacific, we are so situated as to witness the grand sur- New Vestry.—The Finance Committee for collecting funds to erect the new vestry and repair the Bethel, are still at work. They hoped to have been able to report on the first of this month, but the work is still unfinished, although being rapidly pushed forward. Thus far the improvements appear to meet the public approval. The subscription is still insufficient, and some three hundred dollars more needed to paint and suitably seat the building. Persons favorably disposed are invited to send forward their subscriptions. As a building to accommodate the Chinese congregation it is much needed, until they shall have a church of their own. An Old Resident Gone.—Died at Ewa, on this on Tuesday last, John Williams, aged 77 years, a resident ot these islands for nearly fifty years. He was tbe last known survivor of tbe ill-fated Boki expedition which left Honolulu in two vessels in December. 1828. to (rather sandalwood in tbe South Pacific. One of tbe vessels. with the chief Boki on board, never returned to port, and the other arrived at Honolulu in August 1829. with twenty survivors only out of a company of 226 that embarked in ber—tbe rest having died of disease and famine. Williams continued until a few years past to follow bis avocation as a teaman, and was in one of the whalers destroyed by tbe Shenandoah in 1864. A claim of several hundred dollars was recently awarded him at Washington. He belonged originally, we believe to tbe state of Maine, and it is thought that Williams was an assumed name. He leaves children, in whose favor he recently made a will.—P. C. A. island, THE CENTENNIAL---THE END. It is highly gratifying and satisfactory from so many sources, to receive assurances that the " Centennial," has proved a grand success. As private correspondence often contains hints and suggestions relative to public affairs and enterprize, which indicate the drift of popular sentiment, it is with much pleasure that we now allow some of our correspondents to speak. A gentleman, writing from Brooklyn, who had just visited Philadelphia thus writes under date of Nov. 28th : " We spent two days at the Centennial in May, and a week in September, and did not fail to visit the Sandwich Island Department. Altogether the Centennial has been a perfect success. I never saw so many people congregated together, with so few drawbacks. All seemed anxious to be polite to their neighbors and give as little trouble as possible. I did not hear of a single case of rudeness or ill-behaviour during the six months it was open." After this opinion of a New York Broker, we give an extract from the letter of a lady writing from Baltimore, under date of Nov. 25th, who visited the islands nine months • ago: " An opportunity was afforded me of seeing the Great Exhibition, with great comfort and in company with an appreciating congenial friend. The first day, we went into the Hawaiian Department, and there I felt quite at home, surrounded by Miss Andrews' ferns, the case of birds from Hilo, the kegs of sugar from Capt. Makee's place, (where J was so delightfully entertained for a week) the table and lady's stand, (which I had seen at the cabinet maker's in Honolulu, when he was preparing to send them away.) I almost imagined I might be in a rqom somewhere, at the Sandwich Islands, so familiar did everything look and so pleasant was the association, that I rouM nqt refrain from registering �2 THE FKIEND, JANUARY, 1877. my name in the Visitor's Book. To return to the Centennial. I met Mr. Lyman, from Cleveland, who was on a visit to Honolulu, some months ago. I also met Miss Armstrong, whom your son introduced. I send you the Enquirer, giving an account of the closing exercises of the " Centennial." 1 saw the grand fire-works from the top of the Main Building, where we had secured seats. I thought it was very good in the Englishman Brock to make such a display to celebrate our Independence. They were worthy of the nation from which we sprung. I felt proud of our mother country, when I looked on the rare and beautiful exhibits, she sent to honor our Centennial,—indeed all nations brought their gifts, and it would properly be called a « World's Fair." 1 can only say with Esther: « the half had not been told me," and that I felt thankful for the opportunity of seeing and studying the works of Art and Nature and Science, by which I was surrounded." Another correspondent exclaims: " What shall I say about the Centennial ? I feel so powerless to say anything at all, and feel that by my silence, i shall probably be far more eloquent than by any words I can use. It was so overwhelmingly grand, and I felt so exceedingly unimportant, that 1 wanted to keep justas quiet as possible. No one word more completely conveys my feelings than satisfaction, and that of the most thorough type. No poor wavetossed voyager ever heralded with more joy the sight of land than I did the birds, and corals, and welcoming homeobjects which had each a special greeting for me in the midst of this strange new world of sights and sounds. 1 fairly learned to love that dear little nook, which seemed to carry me thousands of miles away, as the Magic Carpet might have done, which we read about in the Arabian Nights. Certainly, we Hawaiians have reason to be proud of the way in which our little kingdom has been represented. Mr. Hifchcock was exceedingly kind and cordial, and made it very agreeable for me. I scarcely ever was in tbe room for a few moments but that I met some one from the islands, or who had been there. " I spent six or seven full days on the grounds, and the most ofthe time the weather was perfect. The first day or two I went systematically, but the grandeur of the whole kept so growing on me, that I felt it was impossible to think of seeing everything, and must be satisfied with a general idea. One, at last reaches a point beyond which sightseeing is rather a duty than a pleasure. I might close my eyes for months and never be at a loss for sights and thoughts. I have. been around the world in less than " eighty days." " The Main Building is on the whole die most complete and satisfactory. There is a symmetry and perfection there, which I think you miss to a certain extent in the other buildings. You pass from one country to another, in regular order and can compare with ease the different products. It is marvellous the sensations which you experience in passing from one side of some tapestried barrier to another. You step from one atmosphere into another, now you are in Japan, now in Egypt; South America, is left for Africa; Italy for Norway and Sweden. I spent a portion of an afternoon with friends visiting China and Japan. Then they went to Italy and I to Australia, and we arranged to meet again in Norway, but in some way or other we missed each other and never met again. You are jostled by all the peoples of the earth—nations come and go as you advance—the centuries seem as nothing, viewed from your elevated stand-point. One's thoughts are full of rare old bronzes of marvelous carvings; curious and dainty work in precious stones; bales of carpetings and cloths, looms of silks and laces; all these overlaying ponderous foundations of iron and stone, built up by patient, toiling, busy men. You are in a dream where color and form run riot. You feel there is too much and you are glad of the crowd which.brings you down to the common level again, and such a crowd! The numbers of visitors on the Centennial grounds are enormous. In many of the buildings, it is almost impossible to make your way around. But if you lose a little here and there, it is more than compensated for by the wonderful sights around you. I think 1 enjoyed the crowd more than anything else ! It was so exceedingly interesting to note the kind, earnest, amused, wondering faces about you, stretching off without end. Every one seemed happily bent on having a good time. I was very much interested in the Art Building. I am not enough of a critic to be on the lookout for flaws and faults, but enjoy intensely whatever pleases me. There was one place in the American section of Monumental Hall where I was much impressed by two pictures. One end of the room was covered with that gigantic, painfully real picture of Rothennal's, the battle of Gettysburg. It is exceedingly painful in its realism. Near that hangs a small painting by a San Francisco artist, Rosenthal, which created such a furore at the time it was first exhibited. I believe many find much fault with it, but I have never been more impressed with any painting than with this. Turning from the grim and gory battle piece to the peace and solemn quiet of " Elaine," touched with the light of the coming morning, was like passing from the fury of the storm into the stillness of the calm. There was another section in the English Department where I saw two pictures of which I had often heard, by Benjamin West, The Death of Wolfe" and " Christ Blessing Little Children ;" but the theme is endless. In Machinery Hall I was completely lost. I wandered pitiably hither and thither, and longed for some sensible and practical person to set me right. I saw a great deal however that was wonderful and interesting, especially the grand and sublime Corliss Then there are " Agricultural engine. Hall," Horticultural Hall," " Government " " Building," etc., but their " StateIBuildings," am glad I have had an name is legion. opportunity to see the greatest wonder of the age. Since 1 left I find it looms up grander than ever, just as Niagara does the longer you gaze. But never did or shall poet, author or painter more fully, clearly and concisely convey an idea of its marvelous and stupendous character than did that girl whose name is unknown to the world, but whose note finds a response in every visitor's heart, "Dear mother, "Oh ! oh !! oh !!! oh!!!! oh!!!!! Yours truly." " Ceremonies of the Closing Day. Philadelphia, Nov. 10.—The ceremony of closing the exhibition was begun this morning with a federal salute of thirteen guns. A little after one o'clock Ihe city troops entered the buildi: g, and proceeding to the main hall formed a hollow square about the platform erected at the north end. A few moments after two o'clock President Grant arrived, and was greeted with hearty applause as he ascended the platform. The orchestra then performed Wagner's " Inauguration March." The invocation was then delivered by Rev. Jas. A. Seiss of Philadelphia. Addresses were also delivered by Hon. A. T. Goshorn and Gen. Hawley, the orchestra performing Beethoven's fifth symphony and the chorus singing the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah between the speeches. After the enthusiasm had subsided General Hawley announced that the president of the United States would give a telegraphic signal for the stopping of the great Corliss engine, and at the same moment would announce the close of the exhibition. President Grant accordingly rose and gave the required signal by a wave of his left hand, accompanying the act with this declaration : " 1 declare the centennial international exhibition of 1876 closed." Simultaneously with the utterance of the official announcement it was communicated by telegraph directly to London. All present here united in singing the Doxology, the chorus and orchestra joining. As the last echoes died away the audience quietly dispersed. �of Venus. Rev. Joseph Cook. Some months ago, we read a very able and remarkable article in the American Bibliotheea Sacra, entitled, Decline of Rationalism in German Universities," by Joseph Cook, A. M. of Boston. Having never previously heard of this writer, as this article was so very thorough and scholarly we made enquiries, when in the U. S. respecting the writer, and learned that he was a graduate of Vale College and Andover theological seminary and was a Congregational orthodox minister of the gospel. We also learned that he had spent several years in Germany and among the learned man of Europe, and now was a preacher and lecturer, at large. While passing through Norwich, Ct., we heard him preach a remarkable sermon, upon "Conscience" and again heard him speak at the Tremont Temple in Boston. It appears that his lectures have created a profound interest in Boston, and are now the principal topic of discussion, in that Athens of America, where there are so many active minds. We are indebted to Judge Austin, for copies of the Boston Daily Advertiser, containing a full report of these lectures, the subject—Does Death " End All.f In the lectures, Mr. Cook, evinces talents of a high order and extensive research. Those -believing in Huxley, Darwia and writers of that class, have met with a man not afraid to meet them upon their own ground and discuss the absurdity of the theory of Materialists. If this is not the war of the giants," yet it is a war where "men keen, subtle, philosophical, and wellread, are giving and taking blows, and woebetide the "smaller combatants who thrust themselves into the arena. Scarcely a hall, sufficiently large, can be found in Boston, to accommodate the crowds, who are so eager to hear Mr. Cook. Mr. Austin thus writes us under date of November 27th : "We have been attending the lectures of Joseph Cook (whom you spoke to me of when in Boston) and like them much. I sent you the two last lectures ' Does Death End All?" I shall not believe in Evolution until the chasm between the animate and inanimate, shall be satisfactorily bridged over." We would acknowledge from our old "Compagnon dc Voyage," Judge Austin, papers relating to General Cesnola's recent discoveries in Cyprus, where it was our privilege in January, 1870, to inspect with him some remarkable " antiques" and "curios," which the General, had just exhumed from the ruins of an ancient Temple We enjoyed the rare opportunity of examining these "reliques" when first dug up and which have attracted so much attention in Europe and America. The recent discoveries relate to a period prior to both Roman and Grecian occupancy of the Isle of Cyprus. These "reliques," are valued at £12,000 or $60,000 : "The result of these tedious labors was the discovery of the treasure which is now offered to the trustees ofthe British Museum, and will probably, subject to the report of Dr. Birch and Mr. Newton, become the property of the nation. It is, indeed, an amazing treasure to which the finder introduced us the other day, for the contents of the first found chamber proved to be not fewer than 550 objects of gold and gems, consisting of diadems, or portions of diadems, and perfect rings, earrings, bracelets, necklets, large solid coiled armlets, some being nearly as thick as one's little finger, and golden leaves; besides a gold cup five inches and a half in diameter, and more than two inches deep, solid, beautifully decorated with a pattern of Egyptian work in lines of lotus in repoussee, finished on the inside with a tool, and worn evidently by frequent use. The rings comprise signets of gems, engraved, in many cases, with art of the highest order, and all being in perfect condition. There were likewise cylinders'of Babylonian ongin and use, some of which have been ascribed by Assyriologists to epochs, respectively, 1600, 1200, and 600 years B. C. A very considerable portion of the gems are scarabei of fine workmanship and easily recognizable origin; some of them bear Greek letters, others characters which are, severally, Egyptian or Assyrian. Not a few of the intagli are of the loveliest style. Among these we may notice an archaic Greek one, exhibiting Pluto and Proserpine. This, one authority has averred to be the finest example of its order in existence. Another gem bears Boreas, designed and sculptured with wonderful spirit; on a third is a naked figure, probably Venus. Of the Egyptian and Assyrian periods a great number of the finest instances exhibit sacred subjects. The materials are agate, onyx, cardelian, chalcedony, jasper, sard. This large discovery of engraved gems is likely, we understand, to affect the conclusions arrived at by experts in regard to some of the most important bearings of the subject to which these students are devoted, to throw quite unexpected light on the history of the glyptic art, and to correct many judgments hitherto held unchallengeable. Some of the gold ornaments are of hardly inferior value in history and art to the gems. Among these several are declared equal to the best Etruscan examples in design and execution, where comparisons can be made between chosen works. This class of relics includes objects, probably fibulae, which are enriched with superbly wrought Chimsrsß, rosettes, and honeysuckle-like decorations of Greek fashion, but subject to a decided and obvious Assyrian influence. Some are of solid gold, some of silver on gold, some of gold on 1877. 3 IUID FRIEND, JANUARY, silver, some of gold on bronze; a few are of hollow gold. Some comprise enamels in the filling in of the petals of flowers and the eyes of the Chimera*,, a material which has been illustrated in a similar service with regard to certain articles of bronze discovered in one of the other chambers. The only objects not wholly of gold which occurred in the first chamber were three beautiful rock crystal amphora, mounted in gold, a very large signet ring, or stamp, and three other rings of the same material; a necklace of rock crystal beads, alternating with golden ones, and having a pendant of rock crystal shaped like a bottle." "New England in the Pacific." At a late meeting of the New England Historical and Genealogical Society, held in Boston, a paper was read by J. W. Austin, Esq., and reported as follows in a Boston newspaper: Hon. James W. Austin of Boston then read the paper of the afternoon. Judge Austin chose for his subject, "New England in the Pacific, 1' but he desired to speak more particularly of the influence that New England had exerted on the Hawaiian or Sandwich Islands. These islands are fast approaching their centennial jubilee, for on the 19th of January, 1778, Captain Cook made them known to the civilized world; although it is thought with some reason that they were known to the Spaniards in the sixteenth century. This discovery of the Sandwich Islands is particularly interesting to us because John Ledyard, a native of New England, and one of the earliest and most renowned of Americdh travelers, was one of the officers of Cook's expedition. A sketch was given of his life, which was full of incident, showing his superior qualities and his varied experiences. An account was given of his fast voyage up the Nile and of his death at Cairo in 1788. Instances were given of some of the early voyages from Boston to the South Seas, and the influence they exerted on the native race. Reference was made to the first missionaries of American Board of Foreign Missions, who left Boston for the Hawaiian Islands in 1819, services shortly before their departure having been held in the Park street Church. More than one hundred missionaries had gone from our shores, and one million dollars had been expended on the mission, which had proved one of the most successful ever established. A great amount of good had been accomplished, and the native race had been lifted from the darkness and despair of heathenism to a purer and brighter life. The thanks of the society were voted to Judge Austin for his valuable and interesting paper. Professor Niemeyer of Yale College has painted a life size portrait of Captain Cook, which he has presented to the Vale University boat club. It was painted immediately after last summer's victories" and is an unusually good likeness. It will he placed permanently in the new boat house. �4 THE FKIENI), THE FRIEND. JANUARY 1. 1877.

It affords us great joy to welcome this company of Christian Chinamen. We are confident the influence is to be most salutary upon the Chinese community throughout the islands. �THE FRIEND, JANUARY, 1877. Rev. H. W. Beecher.—As the Friend has ever refrained from publishing articles, either pro or con, relating to the famous Brooklyn preacher while the trials have been going forward, we take great pleasure in now publishing the fact that Mr. Moulton has withdrawn his suit in the civil courts and paid the costs, and that the ecclesiastical association of which Mr. B. was a member has come out with the declaration, that "we regard our brother as worthy of our confidence and love, and express to him our sympathy in the severe trial through which he has passed." We hope this is the end of the long series of most malicious and unrighteous prosecutions of the greatest preacher of the age. The ancients had a saying that to understand a man, you must see how he carries himself in adversity. Never did a man, preacher or layman, carry himself more nobly than Mr. Beecher has done during these long years of persecution and prosecution. We don't-believe there is another minister of the gospel of any denomination, who could or would have gone so bravely and steadily forward with his pulpit, platform and editorial labors. If at any stage of these trials the conduct of Mr. Beecher could have been submitted to a jury selected away from Brooklyn and New York city, or in foreign lands, we believe he would long since have been honorably acquitted. He may not always have been " wise as a serpent and harmless as a dove," but it is very certain that he has had a difficult part to play, and no doubt has come out a wiser and better man. It is to be hoped every gospel minister in America and the world will hereafter be more circumspect and prudent from the terrible struggle and experience through which Mr. Beecher has been called to pass. Simple Trust.—One of our correspondents thus writes " We must not be over- : anxious. I often think of the Christian sailor who when asked what he would do if his ship was lost, replied, ' God holds the sea in the hollow of his hand, —1 should fall into his hand, and where could I be safer' 7 If we could always have such simple childlike faith, how much happier we should be." 5 — A Can, Ha) let*.

The writer of the article referred to must not think that " the self-seeking that invests in tbe other world," is an utterly selfish motive. Eternal life is to be the portion of those, who by patient continuance in well doing seek for honor, and glory, and immortality. Says Barrow, " There is a necessary and unavoidable, an innocent and allowable, a worthy and commendable self-love. " Reason alloweth such The wealth of Cardinal Antonelli is generally reckoned at from fifteen to twenty millions, without speaking of his collection of ancient and valuable objects, which represent at least a million and a half. The cardinal possessed one of the finest assortments of precious stones which exist in Europe ; diamonds of all forms and bf the purest water, incomparable emeralds, pearls and torquoises of unknown size—a veritable oriental treasure. Then, unique pieces of rock crystal, some fine pictures, the richest lace and admirable tissues of the best periods. anything good and useful, which does not contain in it any essential turpitude or iniquity." That self-love is according to the will of God, is evident from the second great command, "Thou shall love thy neighbor as thyself." When self-love becomes exorbitant, it is wrong, it is selfishness : and selfishness is to be avoided and exterminated as the very essence of sin.

In the discipline and management attention is given to the improvement and reformation of the prisoners. Inducements are offered them to profit by experience, and to ameliorate their own condition. Their rights are recognized, and one great aim is to induce them to reform. In many prisons libraries, reading rooms, evening schools and religious services are maintained. And it might appear as though they were not much to be pittied. But under the most improved system, and the The subject of prisoners is not ene to awaken pleasant thoughts and associations, still it is one which ought to call forth interest. Often as prisoners are seen at their ignoble labor, or inarching in silence to or from their place of confinement, feelings of aversion arise, and the subject is dismissed with relief. Or feelings that their punishment is merited, that they have brought on themselves their bondage, frees the mind of pity and sympathy.

Said a good brother the other day, referring to the advertisement ot the week of prayer, I see they are petting ready for another spell of Machine Praying." The devout Tartar fastens a written prayer to the rim of the prayer wheel and causes it to spin rapidly, each revolution counts as a complete prayer, the greater the number of revolutions, the more credit will he get with his particular deity, and the more rapidly he spins the wheel, the sooner will he be through his devotions. The believing Romanist repeats the Lord's prayer aver and over again, keeping tally on his beads ; the greater the number of repetitions the better. Against Protestants, the charge of machine praying lies with less apparent force, though, doubtless, purely mechanical praying is exceedingly common among them. The idea of the annual week of prayer is no more open to a charge of this kind than is the regular observance of public worship on Sundays, though both may be and often are carried out in an unworthy spirit. The week of prayer is similar in purpose to the Episcopalian and Roman Catholic Lent, and though of a more popular character, has similar benefits. It should be welcomed and gladly observed, rather than avoided and ridiculed. We are well aware that this period of prayer and worship is too often made the occasion of carefully planned efforts for religious excitement; that it is selected before-hand as a good opportunity for getting up what is called a revival of religion, and the luke-warmness and indolence of the year is atoned for by what might be called a religious spurt, in which a nervous, unhealthy emotion is apt to be produced, especially among children who, of all others, should be shielded from such influences. But such a feature of the week of prayer no more belongs to it than the clouds belong to the mountain-top which they obscure. We regard it as the duty of our doubtful brother to attend and contribute his influence to make the season one of glad " worship and heartfelt prayer. Rev. Ausgustus Blauvelt has been suspended by tbe Classis of the Reformed (Dutch) church, to which he belonged, because his views are not in accordance with the formulas of the church. If his brethren did not agree with him, and did not choose to stand sponsors for him, they had a perfect right to say so, and this is all that suspension cojnes to. We dissent from most that is peculiar in Mr. Blauvelt's views, but we do not suppose that his next articles in Scribner will have one less reader or any less consideration from its readers because he is suspended.— Christian Union. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

At tho departure of our Chief Justice as Minister Resident at Washington, lawyers, judges, public officers, and His Majesty have expressed* their thoughts, perhaps a few words may not be inappropriate on our part. We have known tbe Judge for Dearly thirty years, and more than forty years ago, we heard his honored father lecture on political economy, in Amherst College. If the son was fortunate in having a most honornhle, upright and estimable father, so that father was equally honored by having a son follow in his footsteps. Both have been members of Congress. We first knew him as U. S. Consul in 1850; Dext as Minister of Finance; then followed his career as Chief Justice and Chancellor, to be succeeded by that of Minister Bethel Vestry and Repairs.

Missionary Meeting.—Last Sabbath evening at Fort Street Church, the Micronesian missiona- ries—Messrs. Taylor, Snow and Bingham, made most interesting addresses relating to their respective fields of labor, and the general work in that part of Polynesia. It appears that the gospel is advancing. One group after another is gradually laying aside heathenism for Christianity. No part of the wide field is now more interesting than that of the Mortlock group, where native teachers have only been laboring two years, and already churches have been gathered numbering 300 members. We intend publishing a more full report after bearing tbe report of the Rev. Mr. Taylor, returning from his mission delegate, E. Bailey, Esq.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 1. FIRST WORDS. If it is true, as some one has said, that every Frenchman who visits America, on his return writes a book, it is equally true that every American who crosses the Atlantic, sooner or later, gives the world the benefit of his European impressions in the form of newspaper letters. We find this übiquitous American in every land ; he leads you with his untiring pen into far northern climes and brings you buck to your quiet home and fireside with memories of glittering ice-fields and Arctic sens, or astounds you with some new discovery in the fiery heart of Africa; and he is beginning to tell you secrets of China and Japan, of which the innocent dwellers there never heard. But Europe is after all his favorite domain. Of Europe he never wearies ; he describes London with the fervor which a western man feels in telling you of his city which was born but yesterday and to-day is nearly full-grown. You would fancy that the Belvedere had in him its first interpreter and revealer, that Michael Angelo had been his familiar friend or that he had chatted with Titian on the mysteries of color. He gives you the exact height of every spire in every city and the pedigree of every noble family whose time-worn tomb he has visited, and often continuous columns are redolent of Baedeker, Murray, Appleton, Harper, etc., etc. Yet after all this letter-writing tendency has its very bright side. We have read year after year descriptions of the same scenes and places and people, with air unflagging interest till this old world came to seem like some dear and familiar spot. So that when its shores first greeted us it was with the welcome of a home from which we had been absent far too long Doubly is this true of those who have once seen its shrines and treasures, and who weave about each new account, however prosaic, the rosy web of memories of sunny days that are gone. To each new comer the great and shadowy past voices its history and lessons. The centuries become long vistas, as in some grand old cathedral, through whose hush and gloom, lighted now and then by jeweled gleams of sunlight and fragrant with the perfumes of unseen censers, you hear �THE ¥ItIE I D, 10 I KItII I AX \ . the far off notes of sweetest music.

The windows of countless shops shine with diamonds and gold ; innumerable mirrors increase the lustrous effect till you are almost lost in this brilliant carnival of light. Paris reigns at night. One cannot fail to be immediately struck by the marvelous strides this wonderful city has taken since the last war. After defeats which would have disheartened almost any other nation, the French have grown financially stronger from day to day. While the queen-city, with the ruins which the wild Commune caused, still black and smouldering, has risen Phoenix-like into a new beauty. There is something inspiring, something con, lagious in the quenchless hope which characterizes the French. Though they may lack some of the essentials of real greatness and success, they teach the world a royal lesson in this undaunted .spirit of perseverance in the face of disaster. Very general interest is now manifested in THE EXPOSITION OF 1878, And not only the grounds necessary for the exposition but all Paris is to be put in readiness for this event. We have before us a weekly illustrated paper, '• L'Exposition dc 1878," which gives full accounts of the plans for the buildings; publishes the official decrees and documents, and keeps the public fully informed in reference to all that pertains to the subject. The exposition will be held in the Champ-de-Mars where was also the exposition of 1b67. This is an extensive and open space on the left bank of the Seine famous for many of the great military reviews which have here taken place and for other events of importance in the history of Paris. Here will be placed the main building which is to be of immense extent, the plans having already been decided upon. The various nations will here arrange their products of art and industry which will be placed in a manner most convenient for study and observation. On the opposite bank of the Seine is the Trocadero connected with the Champ-de-Mars by the Pont a' Jena. This is destined for the agricultural exhibitions, stands for animals, for models in reference to navigation, minim:, etc. On the height, from which there is a magnificent view of Paris, a vast structure will be reared, destined to remain after the exposition has closed. The grounds will be laid out with gardens and fountains and diversified with Swiss chalets, Chinese pagodas, English cottages, etc., so that as some one has said, " you can make the tour of the world not in eighty days, but in eighty minutes." This exposition will be watched with the greatest interest, especially by Americans. It occurs so soon after that in America that it villi not be a difficult thing to draw a comparison. In one respect this cannot fail to be favorable to our " Centennial," namely,.the location. The Champde-Mars is a flat and level space, while Fairmount Park offered the rarest opportunities in its great variety of surface. We shall never forget the exquisite beauty of its winding walks, and lakes, and ravines into whose shadows the sunlight glinted through the royal canopies which the leaves of autumn made. French art will undoubtedly do much to imitate nature, but it cannot be nature. Probably the European displays will �1877. 1 THE FRIEND, FEBRUARY, surpass anything the world has seen before.

Dec. 14. ; Results of Mr. Moody's Preaching in meetings conducted by Mr. Moody and Mr. Sankey, at Chicago, came to a close on Sunday, Ijjec. 21, having been continued eleven weeks, with unabated and increasing interest. The Committee say in a review of the work : "To sum up all the results of the meetings can only be done when Christ comes for His church, but its influence is evident in every direction. The church has been revived, the ministry quickened, and many persons converted. All classes of the community have had the gospel preached to them, and for weeks all circles have been more or less interested in the' meetings. Much good seed has been sown, and much of it has already sprung up into everlasting life. The most marked work has been among men addicted to the use of strong drink. Three daily meetings, for this class, have been held, and intensely interesting meetings they have been. Those conversant with the work, place the number who have given evidence, not of reformation only, but of regeneration, at one thousand." Chicago.—The Preparations for Moody and Sankey.— As the great brick building toward our south end goes up, a place to be prepared for the Moody and Sankey meetings, so, we can't help thinking, a larger and more important preparation thereof is going on in the Monday lectures. Such preaching as Mr. Moody's needs a certain intellectual and spiritual atmosphere as a condition, especially in such a place as Boston; and that atmosphere, it seems to us, Mr. Cook may be supplying. We like to take the succession of these brethren as an ordering of God's good providence; and to see in it some special augury of great blessings in store for the churches. More than one builder is needed to raise the spiritual house; and the relation between stqne-mason, carpenter, and finisher, it is well to discern and keep in mind.—Congre- gationalism The Maharajah Dhuleep Singh, the converted East Indian Prince now residing in England, who got his wife from the United Presbyterian Mission in Egypt, is in the habit of commemorating his wedding anniversary by contributing a large sum of money to the mission.

Indeed I seem not to have lost that quickening, energizing power that met me as I landed from tbe Star in Honolulu some two years since. The climate of Japan is for me delightful. Our falls are perfectly splendid, frost late, winds and rains light, and clouds of tbe right thickness and number to shade the sun—and so the days and weeks roll along in a sort of delirium of delight. And Nature too paints as on New England's hill.". Just now the woods are aflame with Japan's wonderful maple tree. Some that redden up as they die, have gone into the deepest scarlet in which to blush away life, and it gives such beauty to the woods that makes one wild almost. I am finding work in the training school here; have a class of five youths, graduates from a government school, who use English well; am taking them through O. Text History. The good work is prospering; the Lord is working here not a little marvelously strange. The city is not open as a. free city—one can get in here only by special permission.

The mind of the Japanese is inquiring, remarkably so, and it is now hungering for something better than cold Budhism can give it or the still colder Shintooism. Not unfrequently do 1 hear of Japanese who have gone through the first, then the latter, then Confuscianim, then into blank Atheism ! And some of these have found the gospel of Jesus to be to their burthened hearts all they want. We are now breaking ground for a Christian college,—and it is needed, the native mind is calling for it—our work calls for it —for all Christian young men who attend the government schools and colleges come out lifeless, frozen by the Atheism and hea- — .

The next day I heard them again, and the noon-day services were even more impressive than those of the preceding night. Nothing since I reached and Sankey.—Late America has been more satisfying than these services. I have also heard Moody and Sankey's songs from the Pacific to the Atlantic,—all along the way ; you hear them in the streets played by full bands, and even the hand-organ men have them, and the boys whistle them as they rush past you to their work and play. Verily this is a new way of spreading the gospel." The "Sunbeam."—This is the name of a beautiful vessel, belonging to the Royal Yacht Squadron of England, which arrived in our harbor on Wednesday evening last from Tahiti, viu Hilo. She is a bsrkentine rigged propeller, nnd looks as though she might be very fust. The captain and owner is Thos Brsssey, E-q. M.

Mr. Brassey we learn is Vice Commodore of the Royal Yacht Squadron, of which the Prince of Wales is Commodore. The Sunbeam left England July Bth, and has since visited Madeira, Rio dc Janeiro, Montevideo, Buenos Ayres, and steamed around Cape Horn to Valparaiso, and Tahiti, arriving at Hilo on tbe 2*2dinsi.

Edited by a Committee of the Y. M. C. A. The Lesson of the Hills. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whence Cometh my help.—Pa. cnl. 0 restful hills Lifting ever, thine unchanging, Yet ever varying brows lo the Fitful ikies— At times The storm crowns thy wooded summits With darkening, angry masses Flashing forth 11, dreaded power. While trailing watery veils hang o'er Thy nestling glens. Yet when at last, Its passion spent. Its artillery ■silenced; It sullenly withdraws lib last broken remnants of cloud. Thou lifiest ever to the still Threatening skies, thine unruffled Browß, while singing rill and nilatenlng tree sheltered in thy Majestic calm, proclaim thy Victory o'er Ihe elemental strife. But oftener, far oftener When weary eyes aeek rest and peace From contemplating thee, the Calm sunlight Is lighting up The glens, thy sides adorning. And flooding all thy bosom; While lender cloudlets In Heecy Groupings float over thee,aud Adown thy calm front cast their Grateful moving shadows. 1 turn to thee O restful hills, at times as does the Gladsomeaun, whose first rays Light thy summit'B hour, and chase Away the lasy night clouds resting There. Again aa does the triumphant Sun, when in meridian glory. He Sends his rays unto the silent Sweet recesses of ihy deep gorges Tosparkle In Ihy cooling waterfalls. But whenihe toil of day Is o'er, I tarn to thee as does ihe Betting sun, who sends ttie tender Radiance of his last bright smile Across the glowing waters up to Thee. Whatrestful patience, What trusting peace, thou teacheat O storm beleaguered, thunder Rivenhills, when in Ihe calm Of even-tide thou ailtest In that Flood offlushing milium light. Its deepening glories hide from sight r,nch mark of conflict. Kacli Rook and tree and nestling cloudlet Caleb the glow which fadea away Like theexpiring psalm of angelic Chotrfl, and the trusting sou! Forgets thejarring discords of Earth's conflicts, as it contemplates Thy peace, O restful bills. Jesus brought life and immortality to light through the gospel. This is not the way terminating in life, of which the Savior speaks ; but a way leading into life and going on without end. It is an endless progress in knowledge, in holiness, and in happiness ; a never-ending development ef the capacities of the immortal soul t» learn and to enjoy ; a never-ceasing process of being changed into the image of the all-perfect, the infinite. This way leads upwards, and as the traveler presses on, his horizon enlarges at every advance, and his vision becomes clearer and more far-reaching to take in the prospect ever presenting new attractions and glories. We must not regard heaven as a state of inactivity, or of a place " where congregations never break up," and praise meetings have no pause. The aspirations of men in this life urge them on to ceaseless activity ; some for the things that perish with their using, others for the imperishable, just as their desires prompt them. Those who can say with the Psalmist, "as the heart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God," may look forward to the other world with the assured anticipation that this intense longing will be gratified. The soul of the Psalmist followed hard after God ; language denoting his earnest efforts to know God and to be C. " Lead Me in the Way Everlasting," Thus prayed the sweet Psalmist of Israel. That the ancient Hebrews were believing in the immortality of the soul, is evident from the fact that they confessed that they were " strangers and pilgrims on the earth," this very conffcsion implying that " they were aspiring after a better country, even a heavenly." Yettheir ideas of the future state could not have been very clear ; for the Lord like Him. His increasing meditation upon the word and works of God, and his progress in this divine knowledge gave evidence of his persevering efforts ; for thus he became wiser than all his teachers. Now we may reasonably believe that these activities continue, and are intensified in the future life. We are beset with mysteries in every part of our mortal career, which we are utterly unable to explain. The domain of knowledge is so barren and so extensive that no human intellect can explain. Even Newton, a philosopher surpassed by none, remarked, a short time before his death,"! seem to myself to have been only like a boy playing on the sea shore, and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble, or a prettier shell than ordinary, whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me." What a glorious work for the future life to find out these mysteries, and explore this ocean ! And with every increase of knowledge to grqw into the likeness of the Infinite One ! This surely is the way everlastiny to be led in, which the Psalmist' prayed, and in sympathy with thePsalmist's prayer is that beautiful hymn— my God to Tbee, " Nearer Nearer to Thee." Auqois. Origin of the New York Y. M. C. A. New York, Nov. 20, 1876. Editors of the N. Y. Observer: Gentlemen—ln the Observer of November 16, I notice an article upon the Young Men's Society of thts city, organized about 1831. The writer, at the close, states that the present Young Men's Christian Association grew out of the broken elements of the young Men's Society, which had disbanded owing to some political excitement and discussion introduced into its meetings. As a modification ot this statement, allow me to recall a few points relating to the incipient steps taken, and which resulted in the organization of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city. It is just twenty-five years ago this month that three gentlemen,—viz.: Messrs. H. K. Bull, Milton St. John, and O. T. Woodford,—met at my house to hear a statement respecting the Young Men's Christian Association of London, the workings of which I had become familiar with during a twelve months' residence in England ; and also to consider the feasibility of having such an Association in this city. Several meetings were held at private residences, and the whole question calmly discussed ; the leading pastors were counselled with, and the preliminary steps resulted in a public meeting, held in the lecture room of the Mercer street church. Dr. Geo. T. Bedell presided, and the late Chancellor Ferris made an explanatory address. It was there and then decided to form the New York Young Men's Christian Association, and some five hundred subscribed themselves as ready to unite in such a movement. At subsequent meetings a Constitution and By-Laws were framed, and prominent in the discussion upon the cardinal points were Dr. Howard Crosby, the late Jesse W. Benedict, Esq., and other leading Christian men. 1 well remember the first public meeting of the Association at its rooms in the old Stuyvesant Library building, Broadway, opposite Bond street. The chair was taken by its first President, O. T. Woodford, Esq,, and a very able and earnest address made by the late Daniel Lord, Esq. The subsequent history of the Association you are familiar with, as well as its noble work, in the hands of those who have been and are its friends. My chief aim in this communication is, .through the New York Observer, to put the matter on record in its proper shape, and that credit may be given to the parent Association of London for the solidity and permanence engrafted into the Association here, and which have tended to carry it through many threatening storms. Yours very sincerely, Geo. H. Petrie. At the Episcopal Church Congress one of the speakers maintained the doctrine that " every man who gets drunk, be he high or low, should be imprisoned in the coimnon jail, like any offender against the peace and security of society." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
