The frequent allusion to this subject in pur pages has called forth the following from one of our correspondents : " Evolution ! The more 1 hear of it, the more I shrink from it, as from a fearful precipice, down which men are hurling themselves. As I am meeting constantly those who are clinging to a shadow which yields to the toucß, my heart aches with pity for them ; they stand on waves which are ever sinking beneath them, their hearts are full of shadows where no peaceful light shines. Jf they could but feel for a moment the warm, brotherly grasp of the " Leader's" hand and His voice wbisperiqg " Peace," they would turn forever from this sad, bewildering chaos of human devising " without form and void." I don't blame, only pity, pity. " While every day 1 feel that the horizon is growing more and more extended, and \ see something of the grand and glorious things that mnn has wrought and the prophecies of future achievements, still with a more simple chifd-like trust do I cling (o pur dear, old faith in One who guides the affairs of this universe by His almighty will and yet who is " Our Father," to whom these glorious snow-crowned Alps are but a footstool,and yet whoreaches down to take us poor weak, faulty human beings into the embrace of His tender, pitying love." "Love is nothing else but goodness motion, or applied." put in Rev. Mr. Cook's Lectures.—We would acknowledge a continuation of the Reports of these Lectures as published in the Boston Advertiser from J. W. Austin, Esq. Mr. Cook appears to have made a decided impression upon a " Boston audience." He does not hesitate to criticise, sharply, Emerson, Theodore Parker, and all that class of authors whom the Bostonians have been idolizing. In this respect Mr. Cook is a perfect Iconoclast, casting down, knocking aside and attacking the idols of Boston. He tells the evolutionists that before life can be evolved it must be involved, that there cannot be an effect without a cause. It is refreshing to know that a man of Mr. Cook's marked ability boldly throws down the gauntlet and challenges sceptics to the encounter. His Lectures appear to be a good prelude in Boston to the ndvent of Moody and Sankey. These evangelists are laboring in Boston. 17 {©IbSttifS, M 34. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 2. Geneva, December 14th, 18T6. The goal is at last attained, and this charming city, towards which 1 have been looking for so long a time, is reached. Mt.

The very ideal of a reformer. On our return, called at La Chatelaine. It is also called the " Institute Thudichum." It is situated about one mile from the main of Geneva, though the city itself comes very near. On all sides arc situated beautiful private residences, with wide spreading lawns and grand old trees, sometimes covered with ivy. Mt. Blanc and Lake Leman are to be seen on one side, the Juras on the other and ihe city lies at our feet. Nothing could be finer than the situation. The building was completed last July. It is fully ns large as the Queen's Hospital, nnd cnn be seen from almost every point in streets the country round about. Mr. Thudichum, a pleasant German gentleman, has been teaching for many years in Geneva, but lately conceived the idea of starting a school on a grand scale which -should be the finest in Switzerland nnd perhaps in Central Europe. No expenne has been spared. The reception rooms, large and spacious, are elegantly fitted up, and overlook the city. There are gymnastic and' billiard rooms. There are masters in every language which is desired, and the whole school is on the most advanced plan.— He especially wanted an American teacher, and invited me to nccept the position, and to come immediately. Hence here I am to remain foi the present in this magnificent institution to teach English and receive instruction in French, German and Italian. If I had desired, I could have had a class in Latin and Greek, but I preferred to be quite independent of regular classes, as I wanted the time for my own reading and study. It is the finest place in Geneva for me, as I am free at any moment to leave, nnd here I am to remain for the present. Is not this doing pretty well for the first day in Geneva ? t 187 7. organ. The Rev. Dr. Bacon lately resigned active duties as Pastor, but the church goes on as ever. The children were gathered and classes soon formed. Among the pleasant people whom I met here were the Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Stevens. He has been a prominent worker in the Methodist Church nnd editor of several of their leading papers at different times. They are warm-hearted Christian people. There were also present, the Misses Olmsteads, interesting young ladies from New York; Mrs. McKay, friend of Dr. Storrs, and Mrs. Doremns, and Miss Miller, a friend and fellow-worker with Mr. Moody; she has but recently returned from Palestine. Then there arc many more of whom 1 can tell you at another time. Somehow it makes me think of Honolulu, every one is so cordial, and there is a way of adopting you right into the circle which makes you feel that you have always been with them—that is charming. The Sabbath School is most interesting. They put me in ns superintendent, ns there renlly wns no one else. I wish you could have seen the three dear little boys whom I had to teach this first Sunday, and who nearly screamed with delight ivhcn 1 hinted to them that some week-day I would talk to them about Hawaiian Postage Stamps.—The sermon, by a Baptist Clergyman, was very good. In the evening went down to No. 10 Rue Bonivard, where the Americans gather for a prayer-meeting, or some other appropriate exercise. This particular evening Mr. Bacon gave us a most interesting lecture on the in the Gene" Escalade," aforfamous incident vese struggle liberty, and theanniversary of which they celebrated last week. He has just sent to the Congregationalist an article on this subject. On Monday evenings the Americnns hold a little sociable. It is a pleasant and informal affair. On Saturday evening we had a most enjoyable soiree at the school. There was a great deal of music. Our music master plays superbly. We had recitations and a little play by the boys, and nil manner of amusements and diversions. One very pretty affair, called in Germany the Kinder (children's) Symphony. A number of them bad whistles, trumpets, drums and instruments to imitate a bird, &c., —they were so well trained in th*'ir pnrts that the music was December, 20th, IS7G. now been some days nt the Instihave I tute. Mr. Thudichum is a most delightful gentleman. French is the prevailing Inngunge of the Institution, but nearly every language under the sun is spoken. There are five Athenian young gentlemen.

At three, attended an organ concert at St. Pierre, the grand old cathedral, whose history goes back many hundreds of years; yes, even its foundations are heathen. It was once the temple of Apollo. Here Calvin preached—here Catholicism yielded to the Reformation. The Gothic arches are superb. You can imagine better than I can tell you how I enjoyed the Christmas music as it floated to me through such a storied atmos- phere. Dr. Bacon this morning gave us a most interesting and original Christmas sermon, nnd nt our little gathering this evening, Dr. Stevens talked to ns in a very delightful and suggestive manner on the " lmitntion of Christ," by .Thomas A'Kempis. What a wonderful history this little book has bad ! Hallnin, Renan. Wesley, nnd many other believers and sceptics have written upon il; and it hns been translated into scores of languages, and passed through hundreds of editions. Mndame dc Stael died with it in her hands. It is the very purest essence of saintly love and aspiration. While waiting for our evening service, I attended a most interesting gathering of the members of the Free Swiss Church. The singing was most sweet, and the audience, earnest and devout. It lias bsjen a Sabbath full of rich comfort. To-night, as we sangJVloody and Sankey Hymns, it seemed as if the bond of brotherly union was very strong. There were Scotch, English and Americans. The little group was one you would havebeen happy to have met. Our Sabbath School Christmas Tree wns a brilliant success. The children sang so sweetly their carols. We had a fine Santa Claus, who brought me a beautiful view of the Castle Chillon, on Lake Leman, of which Byron sings. Agreeable as was Christmas, New Year's has been far more brilliant. It is the great festival of the year, and through the kindness of my friends, I have had a rare opportunity of seeing something of the, methods of its observance. F. W. D. * • * Editorial Note.—As the letter from our European correspondent has failed to reach us we have taken the liberty to fill the open space allotted to it with extracts from private letters. Dr. Bacon, referred to in the above, is a brother of the late Rev. G. B. Bacon, of Orange, N. J., who visited Honolulu n few �THE FRIEND. Burned at Sea. We have received a letter from the Hawaiian Missionary, Rev. J. H. Kekela, dated Hivaoa, Marquesas, announcing the burning of the British merchant ship Ada Iredale. This letter contains a postscript, by John Stewart, late master of the Ada Iredale, dated San Francisco, where he had gone. In this letter Capt. Stewart remarks —" lam now in a fair way of getting home again, but 1 shall never forget the kindness and hospitality shown us on landing at the Island of Hivaoa, as we were perfectly destitute and starving, having been on a half pint of water per day for ten days, and I take this opportunity of returning my sincere thanks for all his kindness (Rev. J. H. Kekela) to myself and crew, trusting he may have every prosperity on his island home." This is the second instance wherein the Rev. Mr. Kekela, Hawaiian Missionary, has been enabled to manifest signal aid to seafaring' persous in distress. So marked was (he other instance, that the United States Government appropriated $500 in gold during the war, (when gold was worth $2.50 in currency) to be donated to the purchase of presents for the Rev. Mr. Kekela and others. A gold watch, we believe, fell to his lot, with President Lincoln's. name inscribed upon it. The following notice of the loss of the Ada Iredale we copy from the San Francisco Bulletin : The schooner John Bright, which arrived yesterday afternoon from Tahiti, brings news of disaster to two vessels—the missing British ship Ada Iredale and the bark Beulah of Quebec. The latter went on the reef when coining out of the harbor of Tahiti, nnd the vessel and cargo is a total loss. The John Bright brought Captain Stewart, of the Ada Iredale, nnd three of his apprentices as passengers. Capt. Stewart and his crew were picked up by the schooner at Neauka Hioa, Marquesas Islands, and conveyed from there to Tahiti, at which point the crew were left. Capt. Stewart's ill-fated ship took fire on the 13th of October, and on the 15th, officers and men were compelled to abandon her to her fate. The story of the disaster is thus told by Capt. Stewart: The ship sailed from Androssau, Scotland, June 20th, with a cargo of coal, and rounded Cape Horn with no more than the usual incidents of such a voyage, and all proceeded smoothly up the South Pacific, until 15° S, 108° W, was reached, Oct. 13th. A fire was discovered in the coal underneath the main hatch. Every means were taken to put the fire out—tne hatches were taken off and the cargo taken out to a point where tbe heat became so great as to drive the crew away. After 36 hours struggling with the fire, the decks were blown up by the accumulated gas, and all hands were compelled to take lo the boats. The crew consisted of the Captain, first and second mates, carpenter, cook, steward, 12 able seamen and 5 M \IM II . 19 1877. apprentices, 23 all told. The boats were lowered and what things necessary that could be hastily gathered were put in. In hauling the Captain's boat alongside after it had been filled, it capsized, nnd everything, including chronometers, compasses, etc , excepting a sextant was lost. The state of the burning wreck prevented a visit to it lo get anything, and the little fleet started on its long voyage with the barest necessaries. For the first six days after leaving the wreck the Captain attempted to bear up for the Gallipagos Islands, 1200 miles away, but a strong westerly current prevented his making any headway in that direction, so he hud to bear ofT to the Marquesas Islands, 2400 miles away. The long voyage was begun with good winds, and the three boats made good time. Between two and three weeks out heavy weather was encountered, and on November 3d one of the boats capsized and was lost: its crew, however, being saved, except Wm. Duuver, the ship's carpenter. The stores and supplies went down with the boat. As this boat carried most of the water the nccident was a serious one, and from that time on the allowance doled out to the voyagers was of the shortest. On the 11th of Nov. Donnevick. one of the Marquesas Islands, was reached. It was none too soon, for the Captain and crew had been reduced to three wine glasses of water a day, nnd, ns by the capsizing of the Captain's boat the day they left the ship, nearly all the bread was lost, they had but two biscuits daily apiece, thefr condition and the joy with which they welcomed the land can be much better imagined than related. This voyage is probably one of the longest ever made in open boats in mid-ocean, and its success speaks well for the Captain and his crew. Capt. Stewart says he was not very sanguine of getting on shore, but he resolved not to miss any chances, and kept his boats together at all times ; and to make sure that they would not separate at night, had lashed them together. Beyond the suffering from the short allowance there was no great discomfort experienced, and the health of the men was excellent. After staying at Donnevick two weeks, the officers and crew sailed for Tahiti on the John Bright, reaching there Dec. 12th. There the crew were paid off, and with the exception of the three apprentices named above, were left by the Captain. The second mate, cook, steward and 8 seamen were to have sailed in the whaler Coral, of New Bedford, after Capt. Stewart left. The latter intends Solomon says, "Let another man praise thee, and not thine own mouth; a stranger, and not thine own lips." Americans, during the first century of the Republic, have not been thought over-modest about boasting, but have " blown their own horn " to the great disgust of other nations. Hereafter they may keep silence, for during the Centennial strangers visited America and have taken the " horn " and are now blowing it most vigorously and sonorously. Read the Reports of the British Commissioners to the Centennial, but especially the Report of the Swiss Commissioner, on American Watches !

Spurgeon's Sword and Trowell.—We would acknowledge the numbers for October' November and December of this excellent monthly from Mrs. Taylor, or London. Some of our island readers will perhaps be surprised to learn that Mrs. T., originally came to the Sandwich Islands more than fifty years ago, and made Honolulu her home for a quarter of a century, and then returned to London, where she resides, at the advanced age of more than four score, and we have no doubt could now repeat humorous anecdotes relating to the Kamehamehas and the old chiefs more than sufficient to fill a small volume. She was the sister of Mrs. Charlton, wife of the first British Consul. Failure of the New York Life Insurance Company—When the authorities of New York and Nast have done with Tweed, we hope they will commence upon the President, Officers and Directors of the Security Life Insurance Co. Tweed merely stole from the funds of the city, but this company has been stealing from people in foreign lands, even among the Chinese and Hawaiians. We shall hope to hear that they arc to return to England immediately. serving out their time in the " Tombs and •• Sing Sing."

We have received the following from the Rev. Mr. Coan, —(the Bishop of Volcanoes on Hawaii:) " We have had n magnificent cruplion on Manna Loa. It was first seen between nine and ten p. in. It burst out a little distance south of Mokuaweowco, and seemed to flow towards Kahuku, in Kau. The stream of light appeared to spread from twenty to thirty miles over the mountain, and rose grandly to the height of twenty thousand feet towards the zenith, like the out-spreadings of a flaming eagle.. The light mis so strong as to project the shndows of objects in our town. It seemed to surpass in grandeur any eruption within the past ten years. But it is cloudy on the mountain, nnd all is obscured. This is a little tantalizing, but it is in wiser hands than ours; so 'If the vision tarry, we wait for it.' " Since the übovc was written, a party of sight-seers visited Hawaii, confirming this report, and more definitely describing the eruption, which appears to have taken place as related, on the summit of Manna Loa, but to have also found a discharge of lava under water, near Kealakckua Bay, between one and two miles from the spot where Capt. Cook was killed The earth is emcked or seamed for miles from the shore, and steam is issuing, while under water an eruption has occurred, and immense quantities of cinder or scoria is rising to the surface. The steamer passed near the spot and brought specimens. Custom House Statistics. We publish to-day the Annual Kcport of Colonel Allen, Collector General of Customs, for the year 1876. The exhibit is encouraging, showing, as it does, an increase in the exports of domestic produce of nearly $220,000 over the previous year. But from this sum must be deducted the value of the cargo of the bark American Lloyds, which consisted of produce which had been returned to Honolulu from San Francisco for reshipment, for the sake of avoiding duties. In the excess of exports over imports amounting to $429,271,35, some allowance must be made for the same reason. The imports show an increase in value of $64,476,14 over 1875, a result which is attributable to the reciprocity treaty. The decrease in the value of foreign exports is in consequence, chiefly, of the destruction of the whaling fleet, and the resulting failure of the usual supplies of oil and bone. 1877. The decrease of the amount of liquor taken for consumption would seem to indicate a growth of temjicmnce principles; but we presume it may more correctly be attributed, in part, to the loss of the whaling fleet, and very likely, to some extent, to an increase of illicit distillation in the country. The excess in the number of passengers arriving, over those departing, cannot all be set down as an increase of population, as the crews of the lost whaleships came back to the country as passengers, nnd the greater jmrtofthem immediately left again as seamen. A portion of the remaining excess consists of the Chinese immigrants who were introduced during the year. We shall give the next issue our Annual Resume of Agriculture and Commerce for the year 1876. The decrease in customs receipts amounts to but $14,410.81 which is much less than was anticipated. We still believe that after a year or two the increase of business in the country will more than make up all deficiencies in revenue, resulting from the action of the treaty.

Knowing the dangers nnd difficulties attending navigation in the remote groups of islands scattered over the Pacific, it is a matter for devout thanksgiving when the Morning Star returns safe and sound. The Mission Board and the friends of missions arc fortunate in having in their employ n good seaman und nn excellent navigator. Capt. Colcord has safely Drought the vessel ofT from a second cruise,nnd she is now lying in our harbor and undergoing repairs for another trip. She left Honolulu July 5, 1876, and cruised among the islands of the Gilbert, Marshall nnd Caroline Groups, delivering the supplies at the several stations As allusions have so frequently been made in our island newspapers to missionary operations in those groups, we shnll confitioour notice principally to the Mortlock Group. £. Bailey, £sq., of Wuiluku, sailed in the Morning Star as the Delegate. Since his return he has read before the members of the Hawaiian Board n full report, which was listened to with intense interest, although occupying, in its reading, nearly two hours; covering sixty pages of manuscript, closely written. It is now being published in the native (Lahiii Hawaii) newspaper, nnd will no doubt prove interesting to the Hawaiian patrons and contributors to the funds of the Hawaiinn Missionary Soriety. A copy will also be forwarded to the Mission House in Boston. We learn that it is Mr. Bailey's intention to prepare a volume for publication in the English language, should he go East. He has secured many sketches of natural scenery and other matters relating to that almost unknown pnrt of the world. His skill with a pencil is well known from some landscape paintings which he has executed, one of which was on exhibition at the Centennial—the view of Wailuku Valley— which wns greatly admired. We sincerely hope he may be able to carry out his plans, for Micronesia is really the only part of the Pacific which has not been explored. in order to fully understand and appreciate the great and useful work which has been accomplished by the labor of missionaries in that part of (he world, it should bo remembered, that only a quarter of a century has elapsed since the mission was originally established. In 1852 the Omroline sailed from Honolulu with the little church of ten members organized at the Bethel, and made up of six foreigners and four Hawaiians, or five families. All the foreigners are still living. That parent church of ten members has been increased to several hundred and separate churches have been organized in 18 77. the Gilbert, Marshall, Caroline and Mortlock Groups. The mission on the Mortlock Group has been established but two years, and already embraces a membership of 300. The Morning Star spent two weeks cruising among the islands of this group, where there are stationed native missionaries from Ascension. Remarks Mr. Bailey : We remained fifteen and a half days in the Mortlock. Group. In the course of our stay we visited the stations of Unninp, Lukunar, Sairau, Ta, Elal, Kutu and Mar, remaining and working a day at each place, and forming churches'in places where one had not been formed before. All these places arc supplied with teachers from Ascension or Ponape, though in some cases one teacher has charge of two stations. The whole population of this group is supposed to be about 3,500. Three years ago teachers were left among them, and at that time they were a perfectly heathen people. Now the whole population may be snid to be Christianized. All our intercourse with the people wns of a most pleasing nature. If our limits would permit we should be glad to publish Mr. Bailey's Journal or Report in full, but it would occupy more than our entire sheet. Suffice it, the friends of missions have much to encourage them in this remote part of the Pacific. Tho demand'is (or an increased number of foreign und native laborers, and it is to be hoped tnnt when the Morning Star makes another trip, new missionaries will bo in readiness to g°* TheNew Guinea Mission.—A letter by Dr. W. Y. Turner, who has recently returned from this mission, was published in the S. M. Herald. We learn Irom it the gteat difficulty there is in thedcndly climate, and that the Key. VV. G. Lawes and his family have suffered much. Several of the native teachers have also died. There are now fourteen teachers and their wives at work in villages along the coast from seventeen miles to the west to ten miles to the cast of Port Moresby. Services are held in the native language at the several stations. Mr. Lawes has acquired the language used at Port Moresby, and has been translating a Bible history and some hymns into it for the use of the tcacherc. It is a serious question whether the China Straits would not prove a more healthy rentre lor the forces of the mission. Mr. Lawes may be able to go there to try the climate. There is great danger of losing his valuable services, owing to the state of his health. We have heard that the little steam vessel purchased for this mission by the liberality of Miss Baxter is already nearly useless. The Rev. W. Y. Turner, M. B. C. M, is an ordained medical missionary of the United Presbyterian Church, employed by the London Missionary Society. His young wife died lately at Cape York, and he has come to Sydney with his little baby. He is willing to give us temporary supply in preaching.— Australian Witness, Jan. 1877. Key. Adams' Illustrated Map of History. On visiting Thrum & Oat's Book-store a few days since, our attention was arrested by an Historical Map, which we have been carefully examining. It embraces the outline of the world's history and in n form most instructive. It is a map on rollers as well as in book form, and when spread out is twenty-two feet long by two und one-half fec t wide. It must prove a most remarkable assistant to any one who is teaching a class of pupils in history, either ancient or modern. Every school should have a copy, and by the aid of a little explanation a pupil will leurn more of history in a few hours than could be conveyed by months of touching in the old method. Such a map, in a family, with nn occasional lecture from an intelligent parent, would be invaluable in the way of imparling useful knowledge. We would call the special attention of parents, teachers, and others to its excellencies. Copies are to be seen at the Book-store and at Dillingham's. We have not inquired the price. The Scientific American remarks: "It is an educational novelty which, after examination, we can recoiiiuiend to teachers and students as a valuable and useful aid to study. The plan adopted is a very ingenious one—is such that the student sees at a glani-c exactly the condition of the world at any given dale. We need not point out the obvious utility of this remarkable production." t Shipwreck with loss of Life. 11. is seldom tliii 1 any disasters happen to mir island vessels, anil still mole lure Dial lives an* lost in the service ; hii Hint the wail all.nr nl thn IHIi instant was inn* llmt created no little exciloini'iit in llii' eoininiinily anil syiunailiy lor Uioki* who have suffered lons in properly and friends The schooner liilani Is nearly new, being on hi'r second Hip only to Maui when the accident 00-cnrri'il. iiini was owned hy Mr. A. t, Oaakf und l!apt.

An to the cause of the accident, nautical men generally agree that the vessel was in •ufflciently ballasted, and that thn liallaal she hud on board was not properly secured in tho hold.

The writer says, in spenking of the Week of Prayer, " We are well aware that this period of prayer and worship is too often made the occasion of carefully planned efforts for religions excitement; that it is selected before-hand as a good opportunity for getting up what is called a revival of religion," &c. Now I do not in any degree advocate excitements." I believe such efreligious " fervescence is, for the most part, the overbubbling of the physical rather than the spiritual nature, but I am a most hearty indorser of revivals of religion," because I " know of men all around me who have been reclaimed from lives, not of vice nnd misery only, but from lives of crime against both God and man, and who first were impressed with the importance of this subject in revival- meetings. U is an indisputable truth that the church should always be in a revived state, and it is the best argument which the world can use, to point to a cold body of Christians. " According to our faith "it is always unto us," and it any church desires " the spirit of God, it will have Him in their midst. The difficulty is, men will not make their religion practical. Religion is religion to spme persons, just the same as " business is business "to some others. They are unable to separate in their own minds the worship of God from the proper observance of the Sabbath day and family prayers is not the teaching which we sm the Rlessed Book. Is a man in Esuch running down her face as she told the writer her desire to be a follower of Christ. The other, a young man who had been leading one of the worst of lives, and who was in a similar way brought under the influence of the Gospel. Many months have past since these two—of course utter strangers to each other—first confessed to their Master before men, but to-day the former is striving to lead others to the same Savior she has found, nnd the latter is a noble Christian man working for his Lord among the vile and outcasts of society. That is what I call a practical religion. Paul l«\ Sijtphen, Assistant Secretary Y. M. C. A ,of the United States and British Provinces, and to nations that have attempted to live and thrive by renouncing the Sabbath as a sacred day. Acts are abundant which show the absolute necessity of the day of rest for the preservation of our bodily health; anil also that Christianity cannot survive in any land or in any soul, where the Sabbath is not regarded as a day set apart for a special religious observance and worship. So while zealously maintaining the dearly bought religious liberty, transmitted to us by our forefathers, let us lie careful that we are not led along to a looseness of faith and practice, more dangerous to the purity and safety of the church than were the dungeon, the rack, or the fagot. Religious Liberty, is it? In the ilnys of the early What it meant the right to read Cod's Puritans holy word without let or hindrance from priestly surveillance or control, it meant the privilege of worshiping God as the conscienco enlightened by the word and the spirit of God dictated; instead ol following blindly the prescribed forms of " Holy Mother Church." It meant to hold communion direct with God, by repentance and confession of sin to Him alone, instead af going through the priests' confessional. For the maintainance of this religious liberty, men have been willing to suffer the loss of all things else, even of life itself,—as " the glorious army of martyrs " testify, having bought this liberty at such a price, is it a wonder that it was held to, and transmitted to their posterity,as a most precious and sacred boon t But in these latter days of ease and luxury the term religious liberty seems to have a somewhat different signification in many Major Major minds, and might, with propriety, be called license. Reformers have arisen who denounce the tenacity with which the Christian ! Religion is business. How can the merchant expect success in his enterprises Church holds on to her doctrines of faith if he does not go to God as his Father and and practice, as bigotry and intolerance. This is especially true where these doctrines tell Him his plans and ask His blessing? Or interfere with their natural inclinations. The strict observance of the Sabbath for instance, as a Christian institution, has been too often assailed to escape the notice of every reader of our public journals; and many have been led astray by the specious arguments. It is contended that the strict observance of the Sabbath was binding only on the Jewish nation, and was never intended to interfere with our freedom awl inclinadear followers to Himself in, revival services. tions in these happy latter days of Christian Two instances are this moment in mymind. enlightenment.

There is something most suggestive about this motto of Geneva, which meets one so often here, carved with the coat of arms in every public place.

What a fortunate thing it was that I came to Geneva. I do not know of any place where a winter could be mare pleasantly passed unless it be Rome or—Honolulu. 1 have one of the most delightful rooms in this great building. My window frames almost daily for me a picture of blue sky and fleecy clouds. All Geneva is spread out before me, and in the evening its lamps twinkle like fire-flies. Farther on stretch the Alps crowned by Mt. Blanc, and very near, so near that 1 can see with wonderful distinctness every little boat that gleams on its surlace, lies lake Leman. I can sit at my window and read the thrilling story of Genevese struggle for liberty, and then look up to see the very scenes made memorable in this history. Through the blue haze are seen the shores of Savoy, and it is no difficult thing in imagination to see the troops of nrtiled warriors who once were passing in brave array* towards Geneva. All day long the warm, rich sunlight streams into my room, and I cannot think we are in the midst of winter.

" �26 THE Kill END, APRIL, 1877. pere hyacinths. , One of the pleasant events of the past week was a little dinner party at Monsieur Poullin's, where I met la Pere Hyacinthe " and his American wife, Madame Loyson. It was another of those kind acts which the Poullins have shown me*since being in Geneva. Father Hyacinthe is a noble looking man, reminding me somewhat of Mr. Beecher. He speaks the most beautiful French, but scarcely a word of English. His whole address is charming and easy, and I had a most excellent opportunity of seeing him in a family where he is most familiar and quite at home. I enjoyed seeing and talking with him extremely, but of the two Madame Loyson is the more interesting. She is a thoroughly practical, earnest, vigorous American woman, who lakes broad views of life, is cultured and refined in every respect, and is devoted in her love to her husband and the Reformed Catholic movement. She told me that for twelve years she was a memlier of Mr. Beecher's church, but at last she had lound that for which her heart hungered. They still hold to the Virgin, Confession, Transubstantiation. but not to the Pope All the things which I have mentioned they are modifying very much, so that Madame Loyson tald me that they stood in many respects very closely with the High Church party in England. What stand Pere Hyacinthe will take in the future is yet to be seen, of course very many think he will go no farther, and that he is not the stuff of which Reformers are made. Certainly he is a warmhearted, eloquent, lofty-spirited man They are most happy in their married life, and have one or two children. We had music—a number of hymns in French and English. Madame Loyson and I sang " Jesus Lover of my Soul," and we both felt that though our creeds might diner in minor respects, yet after all we had one common platform of hope, one common and blessed faith. The evening was one of the most pleasant I have spent in Geneva. Another delightful visit which 1 have made since being in Geneva was at " Pasteur Bards," where I breakfasted. J came to " Sunday School Times. They are better acquainted, I imagine, with the Fulton Street Prayer Meeting than many who live much nearer the place. Last week was the Week of Prayer which was observed with much interest at Geneva. A prayer meeting every day and preaching in the evening. They are getting to sing Sankey Hymns with much sweetness, and you can imagine how pleasant it is to hear these sweet hymns in French. There seem to be runny earnest christians here and some of the pastors make earnest addresses. Sunday nfternoon, I went to the celebration of the communion, at the close of the week of prayer. It was a most interesting season, and rendered doubly so to me, by the sur- and still in the sunlight of this winter after- noon, knowing that we were going to the spot of which Caesar wrote so many centuries ago, that we could in the light of the present scene and its surroundings feel the shadows of the past gliding away, don't you think we should find there was a kind of fascination in this old Latin author of which we had never dreamed before ? From my window I can watch the shadows as they come and go on the Jura. Daily I walk by the Rhone and Lake Leman. You remember "Erant omnino itinera duo, quibus itineribvs dorno metre possent: itnum per Sequanos, angustum et difficile, inter montern, Juram et Jtumen RhodiHmm," etc., and then ngaw speaking of the boundaries of the Helvetia, tenia lucu et " famine flhodano, gui provinciam," etc., really I musn't quote so much Latin but you see 1 quite forget myself in my eagerness to show you what a delightful way we would have of studying C_sar if we could only all meet here some day. Let us hope that this may yet be, or at least let me wish for you the same pleasant experiences which I am now having. rounding circumstances, and people. Here were many whose ancestors had grandly laid the foundation of the liberty which we were that afternoon enjoying. At the close of the exercises a blind old Pasteur, Mons. Vernet asked God's blessing upon us all in a most touching manner. Dr. Schaff spent a week in Geneva on his way to Palestine. While here he met a number of the clergymen of Geneva and made arrangements with tliem in reference the escalade. to the meeting of the Evangelical Alliance I haven't the slightest intention of writing in Berne, in 1878.

This is ofcourse only thefaint out-line, it is impossible to give more here. But this triumph of the Genevese was one of the grand incidents in history and on the issue of that tumultuous night hung most important events. There is something thrilling in the unanimous and vigorous action of this city beset by such tremendous difficul- ties. The citizens have loved to commemoFor many years its anniversary was the great fete of the town. But of late years its observance has degenerated very much and is now confined mainly to the exploits of maskers in the streets. All manner of songs took their rise in incidents of that heroic night. 1 have before me most fascinating accounts as given by the chroniclers, of the brave deeds and thrilling escape of many of the Genevese. With my heart and head full of these I have visited with much interest the old Arsenal, where are collected many relics of the event. Here stand the grim and ancient armor of Savoyards who fell in the conflict. The heavy helmet of one of the besiegers is still preserved; near by the ugly petard with which he hoped to make his way into the city; you see the dark lantern, the scaling ladders, the arms and many other things which tell you so much more plainly than can chronicles or ballads the story of that fierce struggle for liberty in the streets of Geneva. Back of the old church of St. Gervais is the grave of the citixets " who fell for the Republic." Simple and plain is the stone which marks their resting place, but very eloquent in its simplicity. One experiences the oddest revulsion of feelings in coming back to real and every day life after spending an hour or two in the shadows of the past. The old concierge with his ponderous keys opens the daors of church or relic-room, and you are almost blinded by the glare and the rush of the outside world, and all your sentiment for the moment takes wings, and you wonder if you were the same person who had stood a few moments before, looking down the vista which some picture or memory had opened up before you. a polyglot school. After my rambles in the old town, I come back to a most delightful home, where tbe hearty and healthy life and spirit ol fifty or sixty school boys is an excellent preventive against any unwise tarrying in the domain of the past. Perhaps in no one school in the world are gathered just now more nationalities. They come from nearly every country of Europe, and along the shores of the Mediterranean.

They cannot but go back to their homes with broader views of life and with a larger charity and sympathy and friendship for men of all other nations. As I have said the location of the school is very fine. Beautiful country places with wide spreading lawns and noble trees are on every side.

One meets students at every turn. Private families are often glad to take boarders who are desirous of acquiring the French and specially is this true often times in the homes of clergymen and professors. Tbe public schools are of a superior order. Certainly the opportunities ibr acquiring French and that too of the purest type are excellent. I can not think of a more charming place for a family to come tor a winter, when the parents are desirous to have tbe children become acquainted with souic of the modern European languages. During this winter nearly every evening lectures have been given, on almost every theme, political, historical, literary, geographical, etc., etc. One cannot tail to be immediately struck with .the intellectual atmosphere of the place. All these lectures of which I have spoken are entirely free and are for all who are willing to come. Important as is the acquisition of French and German for our American children, I am more and more convinced that the larger share of their education should be among English speaking people. ll' they are to live on the Continent of course it would be different. But No spot has a greater fascination for me. Its towers dominate the whole city, you see tbem from every direction and they seem to keep watch and ward over this brave and heroic people century after century. Hourly its bells chime suit, sweet music which comes floating down the old streets which lead to the quiet court of St. Pierre. In its shadow the school hoys play and pcopie come and go, and now and then some traveler pauses to think of all those gray and ancient walls have seen and heard. Here the pomp and gorgeousnees of Romish ritual has given place to tbe simple service and sweet hymns of the Relormcrß. Its niches are free from statues, but its fine old gothic arches still stand, fitting symbol of pure and lofty aspirations. Its history runs back to the tenth or twelth century and tradition says that it ia built on the Inundations of an old temple of Apollo Here Calvin preached and stirred the hearts and faith of his listeners. Here old Theodore dc lleza led the city alter the fearful night of the Escalade and sung tbe psalm of thanksgiving.

From this document we learn, that according to his theory : The Polynesians were originally members of the" Aritin race, belonging to some outlaying branch of that race in the direction of Susiana and as far as Belouchistan and tbe head of the Persian Gulf.'' From that region, they wandered, during the last two thousand years, through India, and the Indian Archipelago, until they debouched in the Pacific Ocean and effected a temporary foothold in the Fiji Group, sufficiently " long however to leave indelible traces of themselves in the Fijian language and on many of its legends as well as the customs—that finally expelled from there by the hostile Papuan race, they scattered over the various groups in tho southern, eastern, and northeastern parts ol the Pacific now held by them; that tribal inter- course was intermittently, more or less, kept up for a long time between the various branches of the Polynesian family until, at last, isolation, new conditions of life, and other deteriorating causes combined to obliterate, to confuse and to over-lay with new and more and more crude ideas, the arts, the culture, the creeds and legends which they brought with them from tbeir former homes beyond the setting sun.' " ' We are confident such a book as Mr. Fornander proposes to publish, will be perused with interest by all interested in the migration of races and their origin. We understand that, it is proposed to publish the work in Europe. It is just in the line of publications issued, by the celebrated publishers, Trubner & Co., of London, and we hope it will be carried successfully through the press. Such scholars and philologists as Max Muller will be found among iteager readers. Our interest in the Polynesians, is deep and abiding. A writer in our columns of January, 1876, while writing about the " Poetic Possibilities of the Pacific," thus refers to the Polynesian race : " Coming from a common parent-stock in tbe dim past have these ocean-dwellers found new homes among tbe countless islands of tbe Pacific The mystery which enshrouds their origin is poetry itself, but he who may yet come to sing their birth mutt chant too tbe requiem tome placed these guns on ground presented to H.

The work commenced on the 23d October, and was finished on the 28th No- vember." Hawaiian Centennial. Has not the time arrived when the Hawaiian Government, British subjects, or some other public spirited body, should take steps for the proper commemoration of the Discovery of the Hawaiian Islands? We sincerely hope this memorable event in the annals of maritime discovery, commerce and civilization will not be allowed to pass unnoticed. Who will take the initiative steps? This event should not be deemed devoid of interest by Americans. Let it be remembered, that John Ledyard, the celebrated American traveler, was attached to Captain Cook's Exploring Expedition, and even wrote a narrative of Cooks's death. Ledyard's journal is now deposited in the British Museum. The following paragraph, copied from (he January number of the American " Bibliotheca Sacra," and contained in an excellent article on " Governmental Patronage of Knowledge," indicates how essentially Dr. Franklin's policy contributed to the advancement of knowledge and the honor of Young America: " In the very heat of our war lor independence, Dr. Franklin, as Plenipotentiary of the United States in France, forbade American privateers to molest the squadron with which the British discoverer, Captain Cook, was circumnavigating the globe. France, in the interest of science, is said lo have laid a similar interdict on her cruisers. It is certain that Franklin did, and on those of Spain also. In acknowledgment of Franklin's magnanimity the British Admiralty sent him, as from the king, a presentation copy of Cook's voyages and a gold medal."

He was a member of the House of Nobles and of the Privy Council of State, and Knight Grand Cross of tbe Orders of Kamehameha and Kalakana. The remains lay in state for several houra during Wednesday, March 14, at tbe late residence of tbe deceased, Haimoeipo, and were viewed by numerous visitosi.

On Thursday, March 16, tbe Attorney Generalapplied to the Supreme Court for tbe appointment of Trustees under Ibe 3d article of the will of Lunalilo, which was admitted to probate on tbe 12th of March 1874.

(Communicated.l "Hope Full of Immortality." This beautiful expression is found in the wisdom of Solomon, one of the books of the Apocrypha, supposed to have been written about 100 years before Christ. There are few references to immortality in the Old Testament. The clearest is found in Daniel, 12:2, " many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Jacob in his interview with Pharaoh, speaks of his life as a pilgrimage ; Genesis, 47:9, and referring to this language the writer of Hebrews affirms that "they who say such things declare plainly that they seek a country, even a heavenly, confessing themselves to be strangers and sojourners on earth." The expression is of quite frequent occurrence in the Old Testament, "gathered to his people." It dimly shadows forth the idea of immortality and it would seem that this idea became clearer and this hope stronger, at the generations passed from Malichi, the last of the. Hebrew Prophets, to the writer of the wisdom of Solomon, a period of about 300 years. This is in accordance with the idea of President Edwards, who, in hia " history of redemption," shows that from Adam down through the ages there was a gradual increase of light on the glorious theme of man's salvation. The beloved disciple beautifully points out the tendency ot" the hope that is full of immortality. This hope passes lightly over the things that perish with their using, and grasps the eternal, the satisfying. Said the Psalmist, " I shall be satisfied when I awake with thy likeness." Pslnins, 17:15, so John points to something, thnt the thought of man has not reached. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be; but we know thnt, when we shall appear, we shall Is? like him ; for we shall see him as he is. And every one that hnth this hope in him ptirifieth himself, even as he is pure." I John, .'!:_ &' 3. When the Lord Jesus tabernacled in the flesh, his disciples beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the father; but that was a veiled glory, like the sun just appearing through the clouds; yet it was enough to win their strongest love and to raise their conceptions in a wonderful manner. " Exalted to be a Prince antl a Saviour," he baa resumed his former state as " tli«> brightness of the Father's glory," and it was to see him in this unveiled glory, ami to be like him that his disciples aspired. " Every one thnt hath this hope purifieth himself, even as he is pure." What he hopes for he will strive to obtain. If his great hope is the holiness of heaven, n likeness to the Lord Jesus, he will ever be learning of him, who was meek and lowly of henrt and growing into his likeness. Without this hope, there will be no increase in moral excellence and no 32 YMoennH A'gsCochiartf onolulu. Liquor and Religion Liquor costs the inhabitants of America at least §600,000,000 a year. The total contributions for church and benevolent purposes dojnot exceed $50,-000,000 per annum. In 1872 there were 03,082 churches of all denominations, while the number of places where intoxicating drinks were sold was 248,992, nearly four to every church. Going a little further in the line of statistics we find that while 83,-637 ministers are laboring to make men better, there. arc half a million of persons engaged in making and selling intoxicating drinks. There are not less than 16,000,000 daily visits paid to dram shops in the United Stales, while there are not over 11,000,000 church members to visit the poor anil unhappy in their afflictions. There are at least 60,000 drunkards' deaths every year, one poor wretch falling into a drunkard's grave every ten minutes from the beginning of January lo the end of December of every year. "Home," says Dr. Channing, "is the chief school of human virtue. Its responsibilities, joys, sorrows, smiles, tears, hopes, and solicitudes form the chief interests of human life. Go where a man may, home is the centre to which his heart turns. The thought of his home nerves his arm nnd lightens his toil. For that his heart yearns when he is afar oIH There he garners up his best treasures. God hns ordained for all men alike the highest earthly happiness in providing for all the sanctuary of home."

She has evidently read and thought much. 1 hare attended recently two very interesting lectures, one on, Byron and the other on Walter Scott. Last Thursday evening I spent very pleasantly at Madame Merle D'Aubigne'*. She is a most cordial and warm-hearted woman, the second wife of the historian. She is one of those persons whom you love at first sight. Her pleasant lace looks out at you most brightly from under her soft widow's cap. She has four children, two sons and two daughters. The old home of D'Aubigne is down on the shore of the lake, and there the family still live. The great arm chair was drawn up by the fire, and you felt as if he might soon come in to take it. He died about five years ago, his health continuing wonderfully good up to the last. He retired one Sunday evening, which he had spent most pleasantly with his family, and when in the morning he seemed so late in rising, they went to call him, he was beyond the reach of earthly voices, for his eyes had opened on a better waked in heaven." Madame told me nil about it in her earnest way, of the dreadful shock to her and yet of the joy she found in this peaceful translation. Then she gave me many facts about his life and writings, and many interesting things, but these at another time. She assured me that I was always welcome and that the library was always at my service. We had tea and cake passed around, conversation on various topics, and closed our pleasant evening together by singing " Rock of Ages." By the way, Pasteur Bard, Madame D'Aubigne and others here are very much interested in a little missionary museum, in connection with the "Salle dc la Reformation." Conld not a few missionary articles—an idol perhaps, some tapn and a few curiosities of different kinds, be collected and sent by one of Hackfeld's vessels to Bremen? I just throw out this idea, thinking that it would be interesting to have n connecting link between Honolulu and prospect, in truth he had " this old city of Calvin.

History shows us that some of the greatwhich the world loves to honor, are connected with countries which, geographically, are of but limited extent. It would seem almost as if there was- some grand compensation in this; that while to one nation was given armies and wealth and great commerce and wide extent of territory, another finds its share to be a few, royally gifted sons whose thoughts are its choice treasures. If this is true, Switzerland should have a foremost place in the latter class. Somewhere Voltaire says in his brilliant satirical way, " when I shake my wig its powder dusts all the Republic." Yet this little commonwealth, nestling at the base of its mighty mountains, has furnished thought for Europe and the world. Geneva and est names HAY, 1877. vicinity have been the centre where we find its fullest manifestation and a score or more of brilliant names meet you in looking into the literary, scientific and religious history of the place. Perhaps no name is more prominent than that of that most eccentric, incomprehensible, magnificently gifted man, Jean Jacques Rousseau, who loved to style himself " a citizen of Geneva." Among the very first objects upon which the eye of the stranger and traveler rests on arriving in the city, is his statue upon a small island in the Rhone/ He is represented in a sitting posture, with one hand lifted, holding a pen with which he will soon note the thought which is now occupying his attention. The figure is finely draped and the conception of the whole statue is admirable. The fine head and forehead are distinctly emphasized in the bronze, and the lines which give to this thoughtful face so much expression, the look of genius touched with a sad, wistful longing, tell that the artist was not unworthy of his subject. The statue is the work of Pradier who has achieved great success in his art and was also a citizen of Geneva. The Isle Rousseau murks the point where the Rhone issues from Lake Leinan. A few trees group themselves about the statue which stands in the centre of the little island. Here the good people of Geneva love to come in summer evenings, and thousands of visitors make this one of the places to be noted in their tour. By day it is a constant pleasure to watch ihe beautiful white swans that come and go about it, in the gloriously blue waters of the Rhone. And at night when the thousand lamps of Geneva gleam forth, you might almost fancy the little isle turned a gondola from which you view the fairy spectacle of Venetian • life. There are many perhaps who would think it a blessing to mankind if the name of Rousseau was forgotten rather than perpetuated by statues and praise. Yet as time goes on, more and more marked is seen to be that genius which wrought such a revolution in Europe. But in admiring its brilliant productions, one is shocked by the moral stain which rests upon them. A life of the strangest experiences, of wild, extravagant theories, dwarfed and crippled by n wretched childhood, yet bursting forth into the most superb poetry of expression, and capable of noblest aspirations. In him you seem to find a vision as of light and darkness, of tenderest and bitterest sentiments, of worship and blasphemy, an endless contradiction ! And whence came this strange being whom, Sainte-Beure calls " the swallow, which an* nounced a new spring for the French language." He was born in Geneva in 1712 in one of the streets of the old town, which everybody visits now. His father was a watch-maker of no enviable reputation, and all Rousseau's early life is a sad record of neglect and abuses. He fled from Geneva, and in Turin was led to embrace Catholicism. After this we find him following all manner of professions, and at last he comes to Paris where he gains friends and assistance. A prize being offered 'by the academy of Dijou for the best essay on a given theme, Rousseau was the successful competitor. This was the beginning of his literary career. His magnificent style electrified Europe. He inaugurated new and beneficial reforms, while at the same time he wrought incalculable harm. His musical language can not veil often the impurity of the underlying thought. The heights which he would attain in theory, are lost sight of in practice. There is something most pitiful in the sight of this splendidly gifted soul, living in the false and unreal world of its own creation. A very king in intellect, and yet the chained slave of ignoble fears, passing the years terrified by imaginary dangers, at war with a hostile, world, finding enemies in friends, joyless, sombre, dying with the real beauty and sweetness of life, unfelt and untasted. Geneva is proud of his genius, though Kousseuu's principles found cold welcome in this city of the Reformation. What of purity and simplicity there is in his writings can be traced to the influence of his native city and its religious atmosphere. And in the grand mountains and beautiful lake which chnrmed his early years he found his chief inspiration, as the Apostle of the beautiful in the outer world, a title which he most justly deserves. So that it seems appropriate that through the years his mute statue should sit facing the blue lake and snowy Alps which he loved so well, • the hotel dc ville. This is a very interesting place to visit, situated in the heart of the old town and reached by a perfect labyrinth of streets. If the Cathedral may be regarded as sharing in all the religious history of Geneva, the Hotel dc Ville is equally represented in its political annals. It is built in the Florentine style, around a hollow square, having a very singular passage way, extending from the lower court to the stories abovo. This is bo constructed that soldiers on horseback and carriages could ascend without difficulty. How imny times in the stormy history of the town has it been crowded with excited citizens, hurrying to consult and deliberate on their rights ! Here the Council of State now holds its session. Many documents of the greatest importance are carefully preserved here, and papers which testify to the grand struggle of a brave people for the precious boon of civil liberty. Perhaps not the least interesting room in this building is the one where the Alabama Court of Arbitration held its conferences. It is handsomely furnished, and remains just as it was at the time of that most historic gathering. It brought very vividly to mind the pictures which I remember to have seen of the court in session. On a fair, white marble tablet is a statement in reference to the result of the arbitration, which is certainly one of the most interesting events in modern times, proving to the world that Christian nations could settle their difficulties without recourse to arms. Back of the moderator's chair is an oil painting of Liberty, and at the other end of the room, pictures of the Commissioners. Coming out of the interesting shadows of the old Hotel dc Ville, you come into scenes not less historic These European cities are crowded with memories and incidents. Of course the wiser one is, the. richer are his discoveries. But even very casual observer can not fail to find me �THK FRIEND, MAY. abundant food for thought. Just in this smooth stone-paved square which faces us, over which the Hotel dc Ville and gray old Arsenal seem to keep solemn watch and ward, is the place where the " Emile and Contract Sofcial" of Kousseau were publicly burned, a little more than a century ago. Here too, we are told, that Servetus, condemned by Calvin, was burned alive, that one great stain on the reformer's illustrious record. In that naitow street with its high and crowded houses, Rousseau was born, just beyond, at No. 11, Rue dcs Chanonies, Calvin lived, and here too, it is said, he died. Here he must have brooded over those grand thoughts which are at the very foundation of his mighty theology. It is not difficult to picture him coming and going through this shadowy street, this earnest Reformer, with his pale, intense, sharply chiseled face, which seems more like the incarnation of some tremendous thought or idea, than that of a human being; here must have gathered the men to whom he intrusted the execution of his commissions; from this centre radiated that influence which held for many years the city of Geneva under an imperial sway, and which the religious world will recognize through all time. At one of the museums of the city is a picture by Horming, representing the last adieu of Farel to Calvin. It is finely painted and intensely interesting. They had been " yoke-fellows," had seen together the coming of the Gospel with power in an age of darkness, and now were for a time to be parted. Farel, with his grand head, unbent by storms of persecution, stands by the side of his dying friend. Calvin's face, though wasted and of a ghastly paleness, is full of strange power, and in these last moments his eyes seem to look past the present into the future witha«vision unhindered by the mists of earth. About these two central figures are grouped many Iriends and brothers. As you stand in the quiet Kue dc Chanonies, with all these faces fresh in mind, you seem almost to feel their actual presence. May it not be that these men who gave the ripeness of their thought and the depth of their religious experiences to the up-building of tnis city still overshadow it with their spiritual presence? before the blazing fire, listening to the thrilling tales of the grand old days of Switzerland. All this is very nice, but Swiss carvings have their practical side. The choicest, issue from the work-shops of the cities, coming from the midst of exceedingly prosaic surroundings. But this does not, in the least, detract from their real beauty, only makes it greater by contrast in my estimation. There is a warmth and tone in wood which gives to it a life which marble never possesses, and this added to the wonderful shapes into which it can be fashioned, renders it worthy of a high place in the beautiful realm of art. You are shown such tantalizingly inviting things that you want to spend yuur little all at the very first shop you enter. There are all mjnner of dainty frames and baskets and vases, wreathed in most delicate flowers, so light and fragile that they seem worthy of a place with the spring blossoms which are now beginning to star the fields and meadows. Then near by are ornamental pieces, pictures in wood, groupings of tropical ferns and palm branches, clusters of lilies with drooping leaves, birds on their nests, reedy ferns, where quaint solemn water-fowls make their homes; rocks, where the light and graceful Chamois poises himself; game of all kinds, exquisitely finished. Overcountless clocks the artists throw a perfect wealth of carvings. There are such fine groups of peasants with their innocent, honest faces. Little children that seem jubilant to see the light after their long imprisonment. But it is useless to try to tell you about them. Come and see them. If I could but find some way of sending them to you! AMONG THE WOOD CARVINGS. of our American Evangelist was to go to the heart of the Chinese Empire. So wonderfully in these later days do the far ends of the earth meet. The melodies were most beautifully arranged, and seemed to catch a new sweetness as they chimed out from the knowing and magical little points so skillfully placed. In seeing step by step the manner in which music boxes are made, I must confess that I learned to admire them as I had never done before. What had always seemed a mystery has been proved to tie exceedingly simple, but still worthy of admiration. These skillful bits of mechanism have a way of making melody which may be taken as a kind of lesson for those who find their lot full of sharp and difficult experiences. You will notice, that as the cylinder moves slowly around, it is only the fine needle-like points, scattered here and there, meeting others equally so, which give the music. All the smooth, clear spaces are mute. Haven't we all seen those persons who have made out of lives of trial, difficulty — The Greeks were not very far out of the waf, I think, in peopling their woods and groves with fair and beautiful forms or in believing that hidden away in the heart of the gnarled and unshapely tree-trunks dwelt the souls of dryads and nymphs. For lately the usually mute and solemn tree, from trunk to branch and tiniest twig, have been full of voices, and 1 have learned secrets of beauty which I had not dreamed of before. I could take you in a few moments to a store on the grand quai, facing the lake, full of such rare and graceful forms carved in wood, that seeing them you wapld ever after cherish and reverence this commonest of materials for the possibilities of beauty which lie enshrined in it. One almost always associates Swiss carvings with picturesque chalets far up in lovely Alpine valleys and with peasants in* striking costumes, and it is very pleasant to fancy that the little souvenirs you take home with you are the fruits of long winter evfiiings spent by the busy workers 35 1877. MUSIC BOXES AND SANKEY's HYMNS. The music boxes of Switzerland arc renowned the world over, and in Geneva there are many manufactories. 1 saw and heard a number lately which are devoted to an interesting and unique purpose. Some are arranged to play Mr. Sankey.s sweet and popular sacred tunes. Quite to my surprise I learned that they were to be forwarded to China, an order having been recently received from a London house for a large number of boxes, it was certainly pleasant to feel that from the old city of Calvin, the music and sorrow, sweet and touching poems? There is certainly something wonderful in the_ swift circuit of the world which Mr. Sankey's hymns have'made. They are being sung all over Europe. You hearthein in Rome, almost within sight of the Vatican, and here in Geneva they are sung at every religious meeting. It would seem as if, in sacred song, we find the truest catholicity of sentiment. One of the delightful experiences which I have enjoyed in the meeting with different persons representing different sscts and dcnominatiens has been to find trfht down, deep under long established form and ritual and sectarian usage, was a growing longing for a more perfect unity, a desire to, meet in love and sympathy about the cross and sepulchre of a common Savior. And this is one of the glad, bright signs in the world to-day, the east is bright with the coming light, and in God's own good time there shall be but one church, not of human rearing, but composed of all those who love our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. It seems not very far off while I can hear as in Geneva Episcopalians, Methodists, Baptists, members of the Russian Church, and some from the Old Catholic party sing in perfect harmony, of Ages cleft lor me. " Rock Let me bide myself in Tbee." JUNCTION OF THE RHONE AND THE ARVE. The other day I walked down to the junction of the Rhone and the Arve. The Arv comes rushing and foaming from the glaciers and the Rhone issues clear as crystal frot lake Lcinarft The singular fact is that the do not at first mingle, but for a long wa down the new river, which has been formet by their junction, you will see them flowin side by side, contrasting most beautifully There are no words which can paint th crystaline quality of the waters ofthe Rhon where the tiniest pebble is seen as it lies f down under the clear blue river. It is dif cult to tell where the lake ends and the li of the river begins, for nt first it seems t stand almost motionless ignorant of th power which it has gained. Then gatherin courage, each step growing bolder, it dashe away in a perfect abandon of joy, crownin its bright surface with grand wreaths o foam and spray. But it soon finds that it not forever to go on unhindered in this ne glad life, for just a little way farther it met by the dark, turbid, glacier-born Arve and they start on in a joint march to the sea But it is a very uncongenial league, for a you stand at the point of junction lookin iar down the new river you see it divided into two strongly narked divisions; on one side the Rhone, on the oiher the Arve, their waters persistently refusing to mingle. It is it uiost interesting sight and any one of a moralizing frame of mind, would find here a fine figure to illustrate his conception of the way in which the great forces of good and evil, of light and darkness, of purity and impurity walk side by side together in this world of ours, but distinct and clearly defined as the two silent rivers that so strongly flow on in the same channel. Frank W. Damon. Geneva, March sth, 1877. �36 lilt, THE FRIEND. MAI I, l*7T. "The Church of England and the Church Sof cotland." This is the title of a small pamphlet just received by ihe last Australian mail steamer from Sydney. It contains an address of the Rev. Robert Steel, D.D., of St. Stephen's Cllurch, Sydney, at the meeting of the Presbyterian Synod, March SM, 1877. After reviewing the histnriral relationship of the <wn churches, prior, during and since the Keformation in the sixteenth century, Dr. Steel makes tho following graceful allusion to Bishops Selwyn ami Pntteson Coining to these Southern sens, I cannot pass over some instunce.s of fratemitv us particularly pleasing as they were kind. When the apostolic Bishop Selwyn was sailing amidst so many heathen iales in his little yacht, he conveyed a Presbyterian minister and his wife to the New Hebrides, the scene of their mission labors, and took stores to them from year to year. On ono occasion when this missionary's wutch required repair, he left it at the harbor of the island for Bishop Selwyn to take tn Auckland, but great was his surprise when he found that the bishop had left his own instead till ho returned the succeeding year. Nor was this all. Referring at Duncdin lo what he had seen at this island of the New Hebrides, he said that if any Presbyterians were disposed to help the work he would be glad lo take their contributions. Next morning £30 were handed to him as he was going on board. He ruado similar appeals al Wellington and nt Auckland, and on Ins arrival at the New Hebrides handed XlO5 to the Presbyterian missionary That surely reconciled the Bishop ami tlie Covenanter. Bishop Pntteson acted in a similar spirit, often visited our missionary at Eromangn, where he had to climb a precipitous, rocky path to reach him, and when, after the melancholy tragedy by which Mr. and Mrs. Gordon perished as martyrs, Bishop Pattcson was the first to arrive, ho went ashore mid read the burial service of his incomparable Liturgy over their graves. The Bishop was ever careful to abstain from setting up missions on any islands occupied by Presbyterian missionaries. I am glad also to notice in u recent speech of Bishop Selwyn the second, a worthy son of a noble sire, he made a graceful reference to " the excellent Presbyterian missionaries" in the New He- : brides, " on whose labors," ho added, " we «re careful not to trench "—a worthy example for us all to follow. Such instances of fraternal, thoughtful and friendly kindness are full of good cheer and Christian sympathy. It is because of the low standard of a genuine Christ-like spirit that they are so rare and noteworthy. They tire as refreshing as the gales referred to by -Milton, blowing— " Sati.-au uiloia I nun lli« (If Aralne Ihe hirst." spicy sliuru \noihcr of those galee, dispensing a NIIKMt. I»7 7 MAY. Christian fragrance from its " odoriferinus wings," comes to us from America. A copy of n sermon hy Bishop Huntington (our fellow collegian) of central New York, upon the " Two ways of treating the Indian Problem," contains a most appreciative reference to the early Puritan missionaries of New England "The Puritans of Leyden looking across tlfc ocean put on record their hope that in the western wilderness they might both keep their name nnd nation and lie n means to enlarge the Church of Christ, if the Lord had a people among the nations whither he would bring them." From another quarter there comes a counter blast. Report suys that the High Church Ritualists nro sadly interfering with the French Protestant missionaries among the Hassoutos of South Africa. • "Whosoever Will." . sbbXhmon to Ci.kiiks.—We were glad to see the republication of Dr. Talmadge'a sermon in a supplement to the Advertiser. It contains many most valuable hints lo both clerks and their employers. A good merchant is thoughtful for his clerks, and his duty is not fully discharged unless he looks after their habits and practices out of his store as well as while under his eye. The rending of this sermon reminds us of an incident which came under our personal knowledge more than thirty years ago in Honolulu. A young man left a whaleship and obtained a situation as clerk and bookkeeper in a certain mercantile establishment in Honolulu. He had not been there long before he was asked to perform an act which his conscience did not approve. He came to us for advice. We did not hesitate lo advise him to resign rather than do what his conscience did not approve, all hough il might deprive him of a good situation. He left, but soon found employment in a more lucrative position under government, and when he died was one of the Judges of the Supreme Court of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The freedom and fulness of the gospel is variously set forth by the sacred writers and our Saviour himself. In reading a volume of sermons by the Key. Dr. Kohinson of Louisville, Kt., on Kedomption, we have met the following passage, wherein this Perils ok the Ska.—The ship Elizabeth point is most clearly and forcibly put. It is Goin/i/ sailed from San Francisco on Aug- from a sermon, the text—Acts, lfi:ill, " Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shall be saved." •• Thus you are told to Flee from the vtritth to come,' to the strongholds,' as one having the energy to hasten swiftly, vigorously. But if you pleatl 'I buve no energy of faith to flee,' then tho gospel saith come to Jesus,' even though you must creep us the poor lame man, or grope your way as the poor blind man, and that shall be taken as tu.itls. If still you plead 'I am utterly impotent, unable to move, so as to come in any way,' then, saith tho gospel, ' stretch forth tliiin- hand and 'receive' the Lord Jesus for he is nigh thee; and that shall answer as failh. Nay, if you still plead, I cannot stretch out a hand, for the very arm hangs powerless as that of the poor man in the gospel,' then saith the gospel 1Lotik to Jesus,' for ' he that Inoketh upon him lifted up shall live.' Nay more yet,— If still you plead. ' I cannot look, for alas the hazy film of spiritual death is over my eyes, nnd all is darkness,' then suith the gospel, ' Poor sinner, if nothing else, lie still just as you are, and 'submit tn the righteousness of God,' allowing Jesus to throw the robe of his righteousness over thee, and that shall answer, for ' wiiosokvkh will' may take him for a Saviour.' " We have found much to admire in (his volume of sermons by our old college classmate. There is a tone and character, logic and force, richness and suggestiveness to remind the reader of the divines of the seventeenth century. It is refreshing to know in these days of popular, sensational, pulpit oratory, that there arc some preachers who follow in the old paths. '' ' ' ust 'JStb lor Antwerp, and on the 10th of October went ashore on Elizabeth Island anil was abandoned. The officers and crew landed on the island and found shelter in a cave. Several attempts were made to obtain stores from the wreck, but nil failed. In exploring the islund the men found an cticnnkptnenl, which had probably been occupied hy some shipwrecked crew. A number of empty cans, tins, bottles ami a flour burrel were near it The barrel was rehooped and repaired to hold water. A tin of soup and bouilli was also found, and some good cocoanuts were obtained from the trees. Sea fowl were plentiful, nnd many were killed. Several heavy showers enabled them to replenish their water. Two human skulls were found in a cave, but not the bodies or bones belonging to them. On the 12th of October, the captain, his daughter and six men left in the boat for Pitcairn's Island, leaving five men behind. On the 18th ihe boat was seen by the ship City of Vienna, bound from San Francisco for Liverpool, and her crew were taken on board. The ship proceeded to Elizabeth Island and rescued the men left there. Considering the circumstances attending the wreck, it is wonderful all bands were saved. On the passage, the ship Hen Criutclutn wot. spoken, and not only supplied the Vienna. with provisions and stores, but took on board part of the crew of the Elizalieth Goudy. The others twre safely landed in England, February 18th. It is probable that Germany and England will soon send men-of-war to the Philfipine Islands for common action against the vexatious obstacles which Spain puts in the way of their commerce with the Sulus.

It is our most painful duty to chronicle the death of His Royal Highness Prince William Pitt Leleiohoko, whose decease occurred on Tuesday morning, April 10th. Tbe remains of this noble Prince were deposited in the Hoyal Mausoleum 09 the 25th, beside those of his father and mother and those of the Kamehamehas. We clip the following from the /'. C. Advertiser of April 21st and 28th : His Royal Highness was tho son of the high Chiefs C. Kapankca and A. Keoholcalole (the parents of the present Royal Family) and wits born od tho 10th of January, 1805, on the day of the funeral of King Kniiiuhitiuelni 111, Iroui which circumstance he derived one ol his nitiues —Kalahoolewa. lo inlancy ho wns adopted, afler tho custom of the Chiefs, by Her Highness Kutli Reclikolitui, sister til King Kamehameha V., who has ever regarded bim its licr own child, and whose grief for his loss is poignant. He was educated at St. Milan's College on this island, where bo proved himself an apt scholar. After leaving school ho for some time fulfilled with seal and ability the duties of a clerk in the department of Foreign A flairs, and on the accession of His Mnjosty was appointed nnd proclaimed Heir Appurcnt to the Throne. On the King's departure for the United States, in November, 1874, lie was appointed Prince Regent, the duties ol which responsible oilier ho discharged with distinguished ability until His Majesty's return on tho 1 ."it.li of Fehruary, 1875. Tho late Prince had reoeivod the decorations ol Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Orders of Kamebanieha aud Kalakaua; ho was a member of the Privy Council of State and ol tbe House of Nobles, Captain of the Leloiohoku Cavalry; and Foreman of Engine Company No 4 ol the Honolulu Fire Department. In the Order of Free Mnsons ho was a prominent and advanced member, and held olEces of importance. But it Was among those who had occasion to know him intimately that the good qualities of the late Prince were understood and valued, for he was of a quiot, retiring and unassuming disposition that courted not observation. Wilh fine natural talents, he was an excellent English scholar, of studious habits, well read in current literature as well as in tbe science of government, methodical and careful in business matters, and in social life a polished gentleman. Well may it be said that in bis early death tbe Hawaiian nation has suffered a grievous low. But in tho language of Byrou, the gods love die young" was said of yore, "AndWhom many deaths do they escape by this: The death or friends,aod lhat which slays even more, Thedeath ol friendship, love, youth, all thai la, Kxoepi mere breathi and since Ihe silent shore A waits at Last even thoee who longest miss The old archer'B Bfaafte, perbepe tbe early grave Wbleti men weep over may be meant to save." The remains of the late Prince lay in state at the Palace during Tuesday forenoon and the solemn pageantry of death was viewed by a large concourse of residents of all ages and classes'.

Tor the trade winds blow moderately, and an occasional pausing cloud tempered tbe rays of the tropic sun. Tho streets had boon sprinkled during the morning, so that there was no discomtort Irom the dust which would otherwise have been caused by the movement of the procession. Contrary to tho general expectation as well as to the ordinary rule on such occasions, the arrangements were so trcrlectod by those who had the details in charge that lire procession began to move as per programme, "punctually at 11 o'clock, a. at." His Excellency Govornor Moehonua was Marshal ol the day, with Majors George W. Maofarlane and James 11. Boyd a* assistants. Tbe grace, dignity and selfpossession of the Governor were noted, for be sat his horse and wore his uniform liko one " to tbe manner born," in this respect forcibly bringing to mind tbe naturally noble bearing on similar occasions of once prominent Hawaiian Chiefs Governors of the different Islands.

M. C. A. Annual Report of the Y.M.C.A. During the past year there have lieen held twelve meetings—ten regular, one special, iiml one annual. Owing to inclemency of the weather, no meeting was held in November, 1876, and the special one was called June 2d, to discuss the subject of procuring a more desirable and attractive place for the meetings of the Association. The result of the discussion was that the Lyceum was procured, the first meeting having been held there .Tune 16th, 1876. The following is the attendance of members during the past year: May 19, 1876, 5; June 2, 18; June 16,11; July 2?, 11; Aug. 25, 10; Sept. 15. 10; Oct. 17, 4; Dec. 15, 9; Jan. 25, 1877, 7; Feb. 15, 13; March 16, 9; April 20, 12,—making a total attendance of one hundred and nineteen for the twelve meetings, or an average of nine and one-twelfth per meeting. The highest number of attendance of any one person is nine. There are 3 who have attended 9 times; 1 who has attended 7 times; 5 who have attended 6 times; 3 who have attended 5 times; 2 who have attended 4 times; 7 who have attended 3 times; 4 who have attended 2 times; 3 who have attended 1 time; and 13 who have never nttended.—Among the 13 non-attendanta, there are 3 who have not lived in Honolulu during the past year, leaving 10, or about one-quarter of the membership list who might have attended more or less, as far as presence in Honolulu is concerned. So that 3 out of 4 of the members in Honolulu have attended from 1 to 9 meetings during the year. Although this record might be improved, we can take encouragement from the fact that for the past two years adjournment, on account of no quorum, has taken place several times; and when there were meetings, often times it was with just ihe requisite number, while as our average attendance has been nine and eleven-twelfths, we have averaged about two quorums to the meeting,—the number of our quorum, as per Constitution, being 5. As to the work of the Association, we can say that our Colporteur, Mr. Sit Moon, has worked earnestly and faithfully on these islands in behalf of the Chinese, has done much good, and is very popular among the Chinese wherever he goes. The Chinese Sunday School is also doing well, having increased considerably during the past year under the able management of its Superintendent, Mr. J. B. Atherton, who also speaks well of the labors of Mr. Sit Moon as a teacher. There is one drawback, however, of long standing, and that is, the want of more and regular teachers, and any one who has an interest in the Chinese can show it by presenting themselves in the Vestry Room of Fort Street Church every Sunday afternoon, between the hours of half-past three and half-past four, where the Superintendent will give them something to do in the way of teaching. The Annual Meeting, for 1876 and 1877, was held at the Lyceum April 20th, when the election of officers took place for the coming year, resulting as follows : l're.ir!.-nt Vim Prrsiuent t-writary Ti.;i-ui'i I' C Jones, 8 II OstLM, G |' Cabti.k.

He landed three weeks ago at Kohala, where he was well received by Key. Mr. Bond and his Chinese friends. He addressed an audience of about one hundred, and labored among them during the week. Proceeding to Waimea he met thirty of his countrymen, and then proceeded towards Hilo over the mountains. In Hamakua he was most kindly entertained by the native minister. After visiting Ins countrymen on the plantations in the Hilo district, he safely reached Hilo, where he will remain for a few days before returning us to Honolulu. A correspondent asks, "Who wrole the poetry on the Y. M. C. A.'s page in tinFebruary number, on ' The Lesson of the Hills.' 1 was very much pleased with it, and enjoyed it all the more as I read it with the Alps in view, lull of their everlasting lessons, wonderful power and inspiration.'' We answer,—the author is the King's pre ent Minister of Foreign Affairs. - CowAiMchTmnsk.Metu,oh reasurer.

As the snow gathers together, so are our habits formed. No single flake that is added to the pile produces a sensible change. No single action creates, however it may exhibit, a man*s character; but as the tempest hurls the avalanche down the mountain, and overwhelms the inhabitant and his habitation, so passion, acting upon the elements, of mischief which pernicious habits have brought together by imperceptible accumulation, may overthrow the edifice of truth and virtue. He that does as well in private between God and his own soul, as in public, hatli given himself a testimony that.his purposes are full of honesty, nobleness and integrity.

RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD.-No. 5. WHAT IS THE CHARM ? have now been nearly tour months in I Geneva, and am beginning to wish for the commencement of my summer rambles, that 1 may have something new to tell you. But every one says, there is a kind fatality about Geneva. People come here for a few days only, but the days grow into weeks, and in some cases the weeks become months, until finally the dwellers count by years and not by days, and they call this city, by the lake, Botanists and scientists tell us of " Home.'' a time when palms, instead of pines, flourished in the Alps; when the warmth of tropical suns dwelt in region* now grown chill and cold with the br-ath of glaciers, and when rare and graceful ferns grew into* beauty, which still lingers, phantom-like, in the delicate traceries of the frost. May it not be that the fragrance of the Lotus is still to be found in these winter-fastnesses, and that by the shores of Lake Leman men, unconsciously pluck the subtle and magical flower and fruit from " the enchanted stem," and in eating forget that other and distant lands and scenes are calling to them ? Whatever the charm may be, it is fast beginning to act upon me, and the longer I stay, the stronger it grows. I think much of this charm lies in the choice society one meets here. In the cultured and religious and scientific upper circles " of Geneva, there is much earnest and thoughtful life. You would be surprised to see how wide a range of reading many ladies have here. In some of the old houses of the city where the »' Calvinistic Aristocracy " entrench themselves, you would find a pride of family and brains ss strong, I suppose, as in any part of the world. A cultivated Christian Swiss lady is about ss delightful a being as you meet this side of the better land. No city could more quickly and eloquently voice to the new comer the mighty history of the psst, and the' possibilities of the future. And in this, perhaps, is something of the secret of the mysterious charm which Geneva ha* for those who come here, and who find it so hard to leave, yet thousands of visitors come, catch glimpses of the quiet lake and grand old Alps, and then pas* on forgetful or ignorant of the cloud of " �42 THE FRIEND, JUKE, memories which surround Geneva, and give to it a charm such as, perhaps, no other city in the wide world possesses. All those who love to look into the history of grand and momentous achievements, who would see the putting forth of the germs of political and religious freedom, and who would trace their upward and onward growth, who would draw inspiration and enthusiasm from the mission of courageous and heroic souls, should come to this grand old citadel of liberty and reformation, and from its own lips hear its noble history. I find myjielf straying into odd, wandering streets, narrow and dark, to some perhaps, and yet to others bright with gleams of light which grow more and more vivid »s oqe hears the story which they are so willing to tell to him. Then there is the Geneva of to-day, bright, sparkling, beautiful, even in winter, and wonderfully so in summer. Here too, is the fairest lake in all the world, where glorious mountains love to mirror themselves. Its shores are musical with famous names and incidents, and for all who come it has some special mestage. Is there any need to wonder after after all why every one longs once to see Geneva, and, seeing it once to come again ? have been interested lately in glancing some pages in a French book on Lav line, where the efforts of the great Vinet ire so strongly felt, while scientific thought during this century, flowered and bore fruit in Geneva, it is in Lausaune, farther up the Jake, that we find the deep, fervid religious movement of some of the most earnest and gifted men of their time. How one revels in all these thought-associations which girdle the lake. XI BYRON AND THE VILLA DIODATI. Just out of Geneva, on the crest of the hill over-looking the lake, and nestling among the vineyards, is the Villa Diodati, the home of Byron in 1816. The name of Milton is also associated with this picturesque spot, but it is resorted to especially as a sort of literary Mecca by the admirers of the more modern and erratic bard. Starting from the English Gardens we rambled slowly along the shore of the lake. A fine paved walk stretches off most invitingly before us in the warmth and beauty of this Saturday afternoon in the early spring. Of course the lake goes with us. One never thinks of going anywhere without the companionship of these friendly waters. You may lose the Alps, and be deserted for days by Mount Blanc, but Leman will still remain, each morning and evening bringing some new message, till its fair surface grows strangely familiar, and every ripple is a voice for those who listen. No one ever learned its secret and told it to the world with such perfect truth and grace as did Byron, whose home we are now seeking. Many pleasant homes lie along our way. Here live some of the choicest of the old Genevese families. Noble trees, with their stately and towering branches, seem to watch with a tender guardianship over the quiet chateaux which stand in their midst. We 1817. one ot the DiodJti family, tells us that the villa can not be far away. But here come our guides, the whole village school. How gladly these laughing boys and girls rush from the old school-room, down through the narrow and shadowy alley-way into the beauty of the sunshine, of which they seem a part! Our little company advances in a sort of triumphiil procession, no one can bar the way when we are so gallantly attended. So we go on, and our little Swiss girl guide brings us to the villa-lodge, so buried under the ivy that we might have passed it altogether but for the two tiny windows which looked out at us like friendly eyes from the midst of this wealth of verdure. The family were in the city for the winter, but would we see the little villa for Byron's sake, just the same ? Most gladly, and with the sound of keys and opening of many doors, we are ushered into the presence of old portraits ot the Diodati family and of Byronic memories. Who couldn't have been a poet here ? we all said in a breath. Such mountains, such a lake, such skies ! The afternoon is fast hastening toward the sunset. The long line of the Jura, with its spotless draperies of snow, outlines itself on a soft and warmly tinted sky; the lake, with its blue waters, hushed to perfect calm, lies at the foot of the vine-clad slopes before us; its furthest shores lost in a veil of haze, a boat, with snowy sails, rests like a white winged bird on the mirror-like surface, sporting with its image in thecrystal depths. Is it any wonder that Byron sought, amid this beauty, some balm for those wild and turbid thoughts and fancies which so fiercely ruled him ? But we have almost forgotten the object of our quest, the villa itself. The Diodati family was of Italian origin, and numbered, in different generations, many distinguished names. But they are all eclipsed by that of the young poet whose room still remains as when he wrote Manfred," and the third canto of " Childe Harold here. In the corner stands the old fashioned writing desk, where imaginative relic-hunters search in vain for some .souvenir. But it is locked to all intrusive thoughts and fingers, and if it guards any secrets of poetic inspiration, it guards them well. But the inspiration must be found rather in that glorious world without on which Byron looked with such penetrating glance. There is a little balcony, tangled with vines upon which his chamber opened and we have enjoyed the fancy that here he stood and listened to that still music of the night and stars which he has so exquisitely echoed for us in these verses from Childe " " Harold : It is the huah of night, and all between "Thy margin nod the mountains, dusk, yet clear, Mellow'd and mingling, yet distinctly seen, darken'd Jura, whose capt heights appear Precipitously steep; and drawing near, There breathe* a living fragrance from tbe shore, Of flower* yet fresh with childhood; on the ear Drops the fight drip of tbe suspended oar. Or chirps tbe grasshopper one good night carol more.

We came home laden with ivy, which was all we could bring in our hands, but with memories for life of that lair and sunny afternoon amid such beauty ns the greatest of our poets can not put fully in words, only hint at in the most splendid verse. The sun had sunk behind the Jura, and the shadows begun to fall about the homes of the city as we entered Geneva. SPRING DAYS. Our spring began in February, and while from Italy even, came complaints of cold and chilly days, we were sunning ourselves in genial warmth. First the primroses came, hardly daring to lift up their little heads, and now they are making bright every field and every " river brink." While the snow lay about on every hand, they opened their buds and every one knew that though March might bring wind and storm, that after all winter was really gone. Along the path where I take my daily walk, I find that Hie hawthorne hedge is each new morning budding into life ; delicate leaves here and there almost unfolded, but in a timid, half-frightened way. In all the 'hedges there is a growing chorus of bird-voices. At first I only knew they had come back to us by a startled and swift " whirr " of little wings as 1 passed that way, but now there is a twittering which sometimes swells to full, clear notes, and for the last few mornings I have heard them singing with all the force of their glad little hearts and throats. Summer must be a glad time for the trees in Switzerland. They have such a barbarous way here of lopping off the branches and boughs and twigs, till long avenues look like poor scarred veterans. All winter long the willows hold up their maimed bodies to heuven in silent protest. Every inch of superfluous) growth is utilized in this land of thrift and economy, and the neat baskets for the markets and the faggots for the winter fire, are of more value than symmetry snd beauty in the trees by the road side. There is something pathetically heroic in the way some of them have borne, for generations, this mutilation, putting forth a vigorous gtowth of shoots, only to lose them again, never flinching, but always ready when sought again. They are the most ridiculous looking things in the world, all gnarled and twisted, covered with hard, ugly looking scars, mere stumps. But their beauty is coming to them daily. How eager all the -world of trees seems to put on its summer dress ! There are the horse-chestnuts that stretch in long vistas like cathedral aisles, which will, before long, be lost in verdure. Their quaint buds are worth careful study. No mother could more tenderly shield ber little one from the winter cold thandoes thatgummed and folded sheath, and the soft, warm cottony bands protect the tiny germ of life within. I shall miss, amid the summer-green, the tall poplars that have shot up like arrows toward the sky, and have claimed no ornament, but the mistletoe which has found a home in this upper world? The old mossy apple and pear trees, which have stood bare and awkward, in little stiff rows through all ihe long . �winter, are yearning for thejr white, rosy draperies. And the grand old oaks, (whose splendid forms have been revealed, not concealed, by the long wreaths of ivy which have made you forget, however, the absence of leaves,) will join this glad summer company rulers of them all. The suows still lie low on the Alps, but the fields are full of busy workmen, and long furrows lie open to the kindly touch of the sunlight. Daily new faces are to be seen upon the streets, heralds of that company which makes Geneva one of the gayest cities in all Europe—in July and August. in the market. On Wednesday and Saturday mornings one of the principal streets in the city is fairly alive with buyers and sellers, and furnishes a most characteristic and interesting spectacle. Each side of the long winding street is lined with tiny booths, where the sellers shout the praises of their respective goods in the most eloquent French. The market women, with white caps or straw hats, which seem the relics of past generations, are busy with their knitting—and knit and talk and sell all at once. Great baskets of fruits and vegetables; stands of meats and game, of butter and cheese, for which Switzerland is so celebrated, are to be seen in every direction. And of late the flowers have added a new and beautiful feature to the show. You can find everything, from the little bunches of primroses and violets which the girls have gathered in the fields, still fresh and dewy, to the rarest of roses and camelios. To the market come all the house-keepers of Geneva, and it is the most democratic place in the city, every one is brimful of eager talk, and all up and down the street passes and repasses this animated procession, which seems more like a crowd on a fete day than a company of people busy about the most practical employment of the day. Few subjects of public or private interest but are here discussed, and he who would know the hearts of the people should oficn find his way to the market place. watch-making. Geneva is famous all the world over for its watches, and ihe majority of people who have never stopped to think or read about its mountains and lake are fully acquainted with the advantages of a watch from this city, it is said that time-pieces were manufactured here as early as the sixteenth century, and from that time to this it bas been one of the leading trades of Geneva. To a stranger on entering the city, the box-like roofs of glass on many of the houses are very singular and striking Here the busy workmen sit and work at their delicate trade, for which they require the most perfect light. Here you will see men whose fathers and grandfathers before them devoted their lives to the same business and passed it on as a kind of heritage to them. Whole families somefimes occupy themselves in the work and they feel the greatest pride in doing their work in the most perfect and complete manner possible. In this democratic republic many of the best citizens have been identified with the occupation and sometimes they have risen to Here positions of eminence in the State arose the "School of Watch-making" : 1877. which has a world-wide fame and a diploma from which was so highly prized. Its branches of study are worthy of notice, as they embrace mathematics, designing, painting, engraving, polishing and setting of precious stones, enamelling, and chemistry. The trained manufacturer must know the general principles of each. It has resulted Irom this vigorous and exact discipline that the workmanship has been of the highest kind. There are annually manufactured here about one hundred and fifty thousand watches. But of late years the splendid success of the large American manufactories has been a great blow to the industry here. I visited lately the famous establishment of Messrs. Patek, Phillipe & Co., where I had an opportunity of seeing on how extensive a scale the manufacture is conducted by a single house. You go up flight after flight until you are almost dizzy with the windings. On each floor is seen some new and interesting development in the growth of this knowing little article. Few persons realize how much labor is expended on a watch before it is ready for sale. There are fourteen different processes in hinging, orna- menting and burnishing the case, etc. Then come forty-seven more for the skilled work. Then the dial demands ten, and the diamond setting five more. One feels a sort of reverence for his watch every time he glances at it and realizes that it has undergone the deft and patient touch of 76 distinct artists and artisans. Then you are shown how watches are heated and frozen to insure them against oil changes of temperature. And whole trays of glittering watches are spread out before you in such profusion that you are almost confused at the sight. There are round, awkward silver watches, so uncomfortably big and bulky and looking as much out of place amid the glitter and sheen of gold and diamonds as that great, bronzed peasant who is passing would in a French drawing room, and the other extreme is a tiny watch with enamelled case, thut you could hide under your finger. This belongs to a Russian Princess and is valued at five thousand francs. Then follow rich but simple cases in gold ; and then more pretentious ones crusted with diamonds and pearls, with elaborate crests and monograms. There are quaint and tiny watches hidden away under the form of a helmet, or hanging in a pendant ball to a chain and watches in rings, or others that chime the hours most musically or are marvels of skillful and inventive ability, the dial being a perfect maze of little, darting hands and wise figures. You are shown too great booi-* with the history of the making of each watch, and the persons to whom they have been sold. How interesting it would be if we could follow over the wide world the thousands and thousands of watches that 43 THE FRIEND, JUNE, years his chateau. It is a most charming drive or walk from the town, just within the French Frontier. The snowy-line of the Jura faces you as you go, and the grand plain which lies at their base stretches out to right and left dotted with little villages and country seats. I can remember that as a child I felt that there must be some peculiarity to mark the passage from one cduntry to another, that somehow one would instinctively know that he had passed from Switzerland into France ; but the two republics, Protestant and Catholic, lie very peaceably side by side and the "diligence" carries you trom one to #the other in the most matter of fact of manner. Voltaire first lived nearer Geneva at the "Delices," where he opened his theatre and undertook to efface if possible the institutions established by Calvin and to place in their stead a brilliant worldliness. In 1759 he removed lo Fernex which was then a collection of a few houses, but owing to the vast extent of his influence and his almost imperial sway it rapidly grew to be a village of considerable size. A noble avenue leads up from the high road to the chateau which stands a little back. There is nothing at all striking about the building itself, but in the palmy days of its sceptical owner it was the most famous point in Europe, casting Palaces of Kings and Emperors in the shade. There is something marvelous in the way in which be ruled, courted and flattered by the renowned and titled, feeding his prodigious vanity on the fulsome praise of these embasies which gathered at his court, and dazzled the eyes of the simple villages by their brilliant equipages. From this point be darted his satiric shafts at the austerities of Geneva, and strove to lead the youth of the quiet city at his bidding. His bed room and sitting room still remain as he left them, and the visitor is still shown the mausoleum which the Marchioness dc Villette intended lo contain his heart. The garden with its splendid view of Mont Blanc is interesting and here you see the arbour where the tragedy of '• Irene" was composed. Voltaire built a chapel, placing over the entrance " Deo erexit Voltaire," as some one has said "with incredible arrogance, by way of informing the world at large, that the creature did the Creator the honor of acknowledging his existence and was finally reconciled to The building is near the chateau but with the lapse of time has been changed into a farm house. The relics are few in number but the greatness of the name which is connected with them draws many to Fernex " the roecca of unbelievers." It is a visit, however, which is full ofreminder* of a life of bitterness, sarcasm, irreverence and disregard of that which in religion is of the highest value to the Christian believer. From Fernex Voltaire removed to Paris have gone out from, this one establishment where he died not long after a prey to the most distressing fears, his death serving as which we have been visiting? the strongest argument against the doctrine* FERNEX, THE HOME OF VOLTAIRE.

' MARINE JOURNAL. . �46 THE FRIEND, JUNE, words. " Sa Majette regarderait commc dcs succes les plus heureux dc I'expedition qu'elle put etre terminec sans qu'il en rut coute la vie a un seul linminc." His Majesty will look upon it, as one of the happiest issuei of the expedition, that it may be accomplished,"without costing the life of one man. How sadly affecting and interesting are un these words, when we recall to mind that every man of the expedition perished,—not one returning to tell a word of its fate, and that the good and*patriotic. King who planned it for the welfare of his people, was harried by a mob in his palace, caßt along with his Queen and children into a dungeon, —stripped and spat upon,—nnd then underwent for himself and family the direst crucifixion of soul and body at the hands of the infuriate savagery of his own city of I'uris about the time that his gallant navigator La Perouse, and his companions were devoured by the savnges of Vunikoro. But this noble Frenchman is to be remembered for what he did, rather than ou account of his sad fate. He was of the race of protestant Albigenses, who at one time waged a bitter war with the partisans of the Pope. He was an accomplished and courteous gentleman,—marked with favor at the court of the illustrious and unfortunate Marie Antoinette; and bore an unstained character like a pure and upright Huguenot noble. His valor was conspicuous under Admiral Conflnns, and when this commander was defeated bp the English in 1759, La Perouse, then a youth of 18 years of age, was wounded and taken a prisoner. Hut after gaining his liberty he commands an expedition to destroy the factories and other establishments of the English in Hudson's Bay; and afterwards, from 1778 to 1780, we find him in command of a linf-of-battleship, cruising against the English in the West Indies, and along the coasts of Maryland, — Virginia and the Carolinas. And now having won the favor of his Sovereign and of the distinguished men of his country, La Perouse is placed in com", mand of two first-class frigatps, L'Astrolabe and La Boussole,—well provided Bnd appointed for a scientific expedition, that was a hope for the peace and the glory of his nation. The prayers of distracted patriots went with the noble seaman. And he, ac- companied with many blessings and with royal gifts from the fair hands of Queen Marie Antoinette, set sail from Brest on the Ist of August, 1786, on a voyage of discovery and to divert unruly France. The French navigator made many observations of value along the western coast of America, to the 60° north latitude. He visited, in 1783, the Hawaiian Islands, and anchored his two frigates off" a point on the coast of the island of Maui, now known as Makena. He then observed a numerous and a hospitable race on this croup. The recent tragic fate of Captain Cook had left no sinister impressions, and as La Perouse was earnest in carrying out the humane instructions of hi* sovereign in his dealing with the natives, he passed through this Archipelago without any loss or unpleasant encounter. There is a tradition among the natives of Lanai, which would lead to the supposition 187 7. that one of the frigates of La Perouse may have visited that island. A venerable native of Lanui, whom 1 knew well was named Hopuparani, or Caught-the-Frenchiaan. At ihe time of tiis death, which occurred about six years ago, he was evidently past 80 years of uge, as stated by himself and friends, and it appeared likely that he might have been a baby in 1786. Now the tradition is that at the time of his birth, a man of war said to be from Purani, or France appeared off the island near Mancle bay, and sent a boat ashore. Un this occasion one of the foreign seamen absconded and secreted himself in the interior of the island. A reward was offered for the man's capture by the officer in command of the boat. A konohiki or sub-chief restored the runaway to his vessel, and as the arrest occurred on the day that the native man's wife gave birth to a son, the baby was named " Hopuparani" or Caught-the- Frenchman. La Perouse made many important observations and some new discoveries in the North Pacific, of which he sent home full and valuable particulars by every opportunity. At the Ministry of the murine in Paris, there is a large docket ot his despatches and charts. His last dispatch,— the last received in France, was sent from Botany bay, and dated February 7, 1788. After this a long dead silence. The anxious King and Queen of Versailles looked many a day ior a message from their lost navigator. Even the turbulent people of France looked and hoped for the return of the brave mariner and his comrades, even as we English speaking people looked and longed awhile ago for the recovery and-return of Livingstone. And furthermore the constituent Assembly of France, which was cynically and ruthlessly trampling under loot the authority, and all the personal privileges of the royal patrons of La Perouse, and was preparing the way for the agrarian horrors of 1793, yet shared so much the public anxiety in behalf of the long absent navigator,—that it voted funds for.the publication of his despatches, and for the fitting out of another expedition to go in quest of him ; and fanhermorc passed resolutions in the form of an appeal to all civilized stales to aid in succoring La Perouse, who had been sent out on a mission of peace and in behalf of humanity. The expedition sent in quest, ended disastrously. Two frigates, numed " L'Esperance" and " La Recherche " cruised in vain in 1791 to get some tidings of the lost La Perouse. Both Commanders of these two ships—Bruni d'Entrecastenux, and his lieutenant commander died at sea, near where La Perouse perished,—and both ships were captured by the Dutch of Batavia. The reign of terror came for France. The royal sufferers looked to the last for some word from La Perouse. But no word came, and Kings and Emperors had passed away, till in 1827, when Charles X, brother of Louis XVI, was King, there came news of the fate of La Perouse. The discovery was made by Capt. Dillon an English trader cruising among the groups of islands to the eastward of Australia. He found a sword hilt in the hands of a native at Tucopia or Tikopia, an* island lying between the Solomon and New.Hebrides Archipelagoes, nnd was told that more such articles could be found nmong islands lying farther north. As he was bound for India, he reported on arrival the interesting relic to the Governor of Bengal. The evidences of a monogram and crest satisfied both Governor and Captain that this sword hilt had belonged to La Perouse. The intelligent and enlightened Governor remembering the appeal of the Assembly of France, and the long anxiety of her people, nt once fitted out a vessel at his own expense, which he named the "HeResearch," and placed Dillon in command. returned to the points indicated, and whilst examining the coral reefs that line the shores of Vanikoro, one of the islands of the group named Santa Cruz, he observed in the translucent waters as he boated along numerous articles of iron and brass, rings, bars, bolts, cannon, and a bell with the name of the foundry at Brest plainly legible. Here were unmistakeiibly the relics of the wreck of "L'Astrolnbe"and "La Boussole." A few particulars were reluctantly obtained from (earful old savages of tho island. They said that both ships had struck at once. That the chief of the whites stayed with his people some time on the island, and after many had died, a portion of the strangers sailed away in a boat of their own construction. But the opinion of Captain Dillon was that La Prouse and his men had been destroyed by the savages. There was no trace ol any foreign work or residence on shore. It was evident that the ships must have speedily gone to pieces on a far outlaying reef, and that the shipwrecked people, could rmt have passed through a long line of dangerous surf ami reached the shore with any means of subsistence or defence in their hands. And as these savages of Vanikoro had been in the habit of destroying castaways, it is not likely that they would spare the brave navigator who was at one time the hope of France, any more than any other sailor. The observations of Capt. Dillon were fully confirmed shortly afterwards by Capt. Dumont d'Urville, who in another Frenchsliip of war named " L'Astrolabe," visited Vanikoro in 1828. He erected a stone obelisk near the scene of the wreck, anil placed on it this inscription, inscribed on a metal tablet: "A la memoire dc La Perouse et dc ses compngnons. • — L'Astrolabe 14 Mars, 1828." The relics of the lost frigates were transported to France. They were arranged in the form of an obelisk, with the bronze bell of La Perouse's ship on top, and placed at the entrance of the Marine Museum of the Louvre, in Pans. There I saw them in 1854, but the communists and the petroleuses disturbed them during the latest furies of a mob, whose fathers martyrized the good King Louis, and who perhaps would not have spared,—had he returned home alive when looked for,—the aristocratic, though famous navigator, Count Galium dc la Perouse.

Muriton's Mills, Mass. Is Faith Inherited? BY WM. R. TF.RRF.TT. Infidels are very fond of saying scornfully that Christians inherit their faith from their ancestors, just as they receive their properties and their names. The inference Irom such statements evidently is that the fact .that Christians receive in childhood from the instruction and example of their parents and teachers predispositions in favor of certain doctrines, —that this fact ts in itself a reason why they should suspect the truth of these doctrines. As sneers are usually more powerful than arguments, 1 am not surprised to find that this assumption has influence enough to disturb the convictions of many minds. Yet a moment's serious thought will show how groundless is the sceptic's scoff. The believers in nil religions alike accept the doctrines held by their ancestors, and, at first, because they are held by their ancestors; therefore all religions are alike false. This is a fair statement of the view ot which I am speaking for the sake of argument, let us suppose that any system of religious doctrine should be discovered or revealed whose proofs were so absolutely conclusive and demonstrative that they excluded the possibility of doubt, would there be any other way of propagating and preserving such undoubted truth, and of giving it full and controling sway over the minds of succeeding generations than that of implanting it firmly by early instruction in the opening intellects of the young? And would the fact that age after age received it thus " by inheritance," be any reason why its sure evidences should be distrusted ? Christian* believe, many Christians know, that the faith they cherish is God's eternal truth. Would they not then be guilty of great oruelty if they permitted their children to grow up around them without making an effort to inspire them with preferences, prin- Sit Moon.—We ate happy to welcome back our Colporteur after his missionary visits among his countrymen on the Island of Hawaii. He was well received by them. He was at Hilo* on the day—May 10th— when the tidal wave visited that harbor, and gives a most vivid account of the sad destruction of lives and property. At the Sabbath evening service, after his return to Honolulu, he preached upon the closing verses of our Savior's sermon upon the Mount, and improved the opportunity to impress upon his hearets the importance of building their hopes for eternity upon the " Kock," and not upon the " Sand." Our faithful and efficient Secretary, Geo. P. Castle, Esq., reports that owing to the inclemency of the weather the regular meeting of the Y. M. C. A. was not held last month. 48 Young Men's Christian AssociationHonlu.f " He is My Minister." Some of the people didn't like him. They were free to express their dislikes. Nor were they careful where they did it, and to whom. Some did it in the sewing circle. As one young lady did so to another, and asked her opinion, her reply was: He is my Minister. She did not regard him as perfect. A better minister would have pleased her. But he was her minister, and she did not feel at liberty to set herself against him, and to join with others, and members of the church too, in backbiting him. It had been written: " Thou shalt not speak evil of the ruler of thy people ;" and would it bp any less sinful to speak evil of the minister who had been set over her in the Lord ? Ministers are but men. They have their failings. None of them are perfect. They are not above the need of charity. And if we would not impair their influence, and stand in the way of their usefulness, wo must be careful how we handle their reputation. When that is gone, all is gone with a minister. His capital for doing good is lost. Whether he be a bad man or not, when his people come to think him so, or to suspect that he is so, whatever his other qualifications may be, he can accomplish but little for their spiritual benefit. Like Caesar's wife, he must be so, he must guard well his own reputation ; and all who. would desire and seek his well-being and usefulness, must consider well what they may say conS. cerning him.

Last Saturday we made anothercharming excursion, and this time to Coppet, a quiet little town, on the shore of the lake, rendered famous as being the home of Madame dc Stael and the literary birth-place of •' Corinne." 1 hope that every enthusiastic admirer of this remarkably fascinating and exqusitely written book, may some day have the same privilege that our little company had, and see the old chateau under as favorable circumstances. It was one of those rare and perfect days in the dawning beauty of the spring time, when the sharp and stern lines of the winter fade into soft and sweeping curves and the glad earth takes with gratitude the blessed gifts of sunshine and warmth. The air from the far off gleaming glaciers was softened and sweetened by the breath of violets and meadow grasses which it had passed on its way. From our little steamer we watched the shore with its ever charming panorama, where natural beauty takes on a new charm from the famous names which are linked with the little villages and old chateaux that group themselves among the trees and shrubbery. On the hill, with its far-reaching vineyards, is the elegant villa of Rothschild, more like a palace than a summer house, and nestling among the trees on the very edge of the lake the dwelling of Sir Robert Peele. And just beyond the country seat, where the sad and unfortunate Josephine came in those bitter days when another sat in her imperial place. Off in the distance, where the churcha spire catches the sunlight and becomes gleaming shaft against the sky, is Genthoa, so dearly loved of the Genevese naturalist*. Here Bounet lived and thought and studied snd entertained his many admiring friends who came to learn at his feet. Dc Saussure who was one of the first to open the beauty and unlock the mystery of the Alpine world, wrote amid these quietrural scenes his famous " Travels in the Alps." To these add the names of Pictel, of Marignac, of Favre, and of Boissier, and you feel that Genthoa is worthy of more than a passing notice. Just a moment the boat stops at Versoix, where our brave little .teamer add* to its passenger list. Here the Duke dc Choiseul in 1770, laid out the plan of a city which he hoped would one day be the rival of Ge. - Court. United States Consul.—We are glad to welcome our old Consul, Dr. Scott and his wife, after their visit to the United States, who were guests at the White House, while passing through Washington. The President and Dr. Scott are old political friends in Ohio politics, while Mrs. Hayes and Mrs. Scott are cordial friends and fully in sympathy on the temperance question, which has received a grand impetus from the noble women of Ohio.

The branches and sprays of oak and birch are bright with freshly opened Wild flowers, primroses, anemones, daisies, buttercups and violets bloom on every hand, making of eachshadowy nook and sunlit field a perfect fairy land. A little, foamy brook dances away musically into the woodlands beyond, and its echo blends with the chorus of the birds who are singing as if they would let all the wide world know of their joy. Following the road we come to the family tomb, almost hidden in the front of a little evergreen grove and surrounded by a forbidding wall which seemed closed to all inquisitive visitors. Here in this quiet spot, where no sounds are heard but the rustling of the leaves, rest the bodies of Necker and his daughter, Madame dc Stael. It is a plain and simple resting place for the most brilliant woman of Europe, whose pen and speech were more dreaded by Napoleon than the armed host of the enemy, and who, in her strength and power, still speaks to an admiring world. But the broad blue heaven is a grander dome, and the sunlit peaks of the Alps a nobler monument than any which mere human power could have reared to her leaves. memory. AUTHORESS OF THE NEAR AND HEAVENLY HORIZONS. No names in modern French literature are more loved than those of the Count and Countess dc Gasparin. Their home in Geneva was the resort of those who loved to view life from the same high and lofty standpoint as did their genial host and hostess. All great, pure, noble thoughts found a home in their hearts, and their writings went forth to comfort and cheer thousands who looked henceforth to them as worthy of their deepest gratitude. They were singularly adapted one to the other, and presented a rare and beautiful example of perfect union of heart and soul. Among the works of Madame dc Gasparin, the best known is the " Near and Heavenly Horizons," which has been widely read in America. It abounds in delicate and beautiful thoughts and perceptions, and in reading it the shadowy and far off, spirit realm seems to come nearer and nearer, and the glory and beauty and rest which are the believer's portion, take on a reality, which is often lost in the mystical and unnatural anticipations of many writers. She longs for a heaven where all that is pure and noble in this life shall find a fuller and more glorious realization; where friend shall know friend, and where, in the absence of sin, and in the light of all divine and purifying impulses the redeemed shall enter upon the grandeur of their eternal life. If 1 am not mistaken her book Was a prelude to that of Miss Phelps' "Gates Ajar," though expressed with a delicacy and refinement which is sometimes lacking in the latter. Madame dc Gasparin wrote other most delightful books on a variety of subjects. She was the founder at Lausaune of a most excellent and practical school for the training of nurses. But the last few years of the life of this most gifted lady have been most painfully clouded. Since her husband's death she has resided at her country house at Chambesy, just out of Geneva, in the most unyielding seclusion and retiracy.

One old castle after another comes in view, each with its historic associations; but none more interesting than that of the days of the good Queen Bertha, whose name still lingers in thesesunny uplands, and is still the synonym of all that is wise and industrious. So strong and firm do the walls of her castle stand that we can scarcely believe that hundreds of years have flown since this most exemplary lady rode hither and thither in her kingdom, distaff in hand, an inspiration to all her subjects. But our boat is at Ouchy, almost before we are willing to land. The mountains which have been growing grander as we came nearer, are now most beautiful.

Dr. Dnmon, on June 7th, 1877, when the Secretary presented tbe following Report: "On the 10th day of June, In tbe yesrofour Lord one thousand eight hundred and fltiy-iwo, tbete was usbered Into existence with appropriate ceremonies, in this very room, the "Ladies' Stranger's Friend Society." •'Fltty-two ladles were present who subscribed tbelr names to tbe constitution, and started tbe young Society on its mission ol love, to the sick and destitute strangers within onrgotcs." We think tbe bas fulfilled tbe promise ber birth inspired during the twenty-five years she bos lived and labored. We think sbo deserves a plsce among the "many daughters who have done virtuously." Her simple annals, if properly written, would be. worthy of a place among the good and nseful of any age. A brief glance only of berj life and labor will be preseuted to day. As ber name indicte* tbe great object of tbla Society has been tbe care of sick and needy strangers; and this, too, without regard to creed or clime from whence they came. So it has come to pass that more Roman Catholics than Protestants have received aid from our treasury, while England and her colonies, and various countries, of continental have furnished tbe largest proportion of our beneficiaries. Neither have strangers been the only one* who have received aid. Etch year find* v* with the names of needy residents upon our list, beside* many wanderers who, during these years, have been assisted in returning to their homes in other lands, by tbe funds of tbis Society. In all the varied labors ol the Society, we have had tbe constant and devoted aid Irom the very first of the Rev. Or. Damon, for our sick, our dying, and our dead. No one not intimately acquainted withita workings can Imagine tbe wisdom and judgment needed in deciding on tho numerous applicants for aid,and for caring for individual cases, otlon througb long months of slow decline, until they are finally laid away in the grave. Our fifty-two ladies would have been often In great perplexity witbout tbe counsel and old of Dr. Damon. Early in its bistory, through the energetic efforts ol those ladles, the Society secured a fund of t'JOOO, which was, by tbe advice ol several leading business gentlemen of Honolulu, placed at interest on good security, for tbe continued benefit of tbe Society. Tbe Interest, drawn semi-annually during all these years, bus materially aided in carrying forward tbe objects tor which the Society was organized. We have also received Irom time to time generous donations from charitable friends. Tbe names of all these are placed upon the records of Ibo Society, and wo bope they are alto written in tbe Lamb's Book of Immortal Life. For more than ten years from its commencement tbe sum expended annually by tbe Society averaged f.VX>. Dniing tbe year just closed tbe amount expended has been $4154. The number sided during tbe year bas been seven, including two women with families of little children. Oue of our beneficiaries died a lew days ago, after being in our care tor about 18 months. lie was an English subject, and balled from Canada. A day or two before be passed away, he expressed • to our President his deep gratitude to the ladies of tbis Society for the care they had afforded him during bis very lingering decline. He was u Roman Catholic, and was attended In his last moments, by a priest of that church, who also took charge of his burial. Of tbe fifty two ladles who united in the formation of this Society 25 years ago, ritteen only remain at these islands. Eighteen have returned to their native homes, and tbe remainder have "lallen atleeo." One of this latter number has passed sway from ua during the year just closed. Mrs. E. O. Hall will he always remurobered for ber large-hearted charities. She was one, into whose hands we were glsd to see tbe means of doing good abundantly placed. "Freely she received, very freely she gave. Although forsome years her works of benevolence have been given through another channel, yet we always felt stronger for her life and tabors among us. "Sue reals from her labors, aod her works do follow her." While to many ol ibe original fifty-two have left us tor other scene* and labors, others have grown up in oar community, aud others still have come JULY, 1877. among us from distant lands, from lime to time, who have cordially united with us in carrying forward tho work ol the Society. So tbat we still hold hopefully on our way, with tbe ever increasing conviction of the value and importance of thin organization in these distant Islands, of the Pacific. Now, it is the custom of common mortals in many places to celebrate the Ittlb anniversary of their wedded lives, by festivals, called "silver weddings." where friends gather, to offer their congratulations, und present rare and valuable gilts; and your secretary respectfully suggests, that il would be eminently proper |.>r the charitably-disposed of our Island Community, lo make a generous tribute, on this unnlversary, to tbe labors and value ol this Society a- a public servant, in ttie way of substantial aid ; which shall he faithfully used tor the poor aud suffering, and which may prove to tbe donors, a treasure laid up in Heaven."

It is customary also to have an essay on each evening, the subject of which often leads to spirited and interesting remarks. The Chinese Mission Committee, is one with whom Mr. Sit Moon, our Colporteur and Home Missionary among the Chinese, may consult at any time for advice or aid. The Chinese Sunday /School Committee of one is the superintendent of the Chinese Sunday School, which is held every Sunday afternoon, in the vestry of Fort Street Church. This committee keeps the association informed as to the welfare of the school. The editors of the Y. M. C. A., page of the Friend keep this page filled with items pertaining to the work of the association, extracts and hints from papers and letters of Foreign Associations and for the general improvement, and advancement of our own. At our last meeting the subject was discussed of the society awakening to active labor. In union there is strength and if all of the members will endeavor to attend its meetings, and bdrig others with them, the meetings will be made more interesting, and attractive. We would also take this opportunity to invite the public generally to pay inside life and work of the Association may not be familiar to all of our readers, and indeed as it is probable that little is known by the public, it may be well, and beneficial to the Association to air its works through this, its mouth piece, the last page of the Friend.

He first expressed a very stone cutter, who common wish, "Oh that I were rich!" this being granted by the gods, he next wished to become a king, so that he might have power. In this station he still found a source of discontent. So after many changes he wished to become a rock, which even the floods could not move, this being granted, he for a time enjoyed his newly acquired power, for neither the burning sun, rushing wind nor roaring floods could move him. One day a man with a sharp chisel and heavy hammer came along, and began to cut stones out of the rock, and the rock said, " What is this—that the man has power over me, and can cut stones out of my bosom ? I am weaker than he; I should like to be that man !" and there came an angel out of Heaven, who said, "Be this as you said ;" and the rock became a stone cutter; and he cut stones with hard labor for small wages, and was contented. If a man be gracious to strangers, it shows that he is a citizen of this world, and that his heart is no island cut off from other lands, but a part of the continent that joins them.—Bacon.

There are forty-four different ministers, thirty-five of whom are pastors, and nine, stated supplies. In several instances the wants of two or more churches are supplied' by one pastor or stated supply. Of the thirty-five pastors, three are American missionaries, two are the sons of missionaries, one is English, and twenty-nine are Hawaiians. Of the nine stated supplies six are Hawaiians. Belonging to the forty churches, whose numbers are reported, are 6587 members in good and regular standing in the respective fields, of whom 176 have been added on profession of faith this year. Belonging to twelve churches which were reported last year, but not this year, were 1758 members. Total 8395. SEMINARIES AND INSTITUTIONS OF LEARNING. Lahainaluna 'Seminary in which spe have all felt »o deep an interest, as its foundations were laid by the fathers of this association, and of which many of our pastors are graduates, has been transformed into an English school. It is true a very few studies in the Hawaiian language are to be retained, but for the most part tbe studies are to be pursued in the English language. The Rev. S. E. Bishop, president of the institution, has resigned his position, and the Hon. H. R. Hitchcock bas been appointed to the vacancy, and wilt assume the duties of president at the commencement of the next term. Mr. Baldwin has been appointed Inspector General of Schools, in place of Hon. H. R. Hitchcock. The ffilo Boarding School continues on its way, under the guidance of its Board of Trustees. Mr. Makaitnoku is principal. He has two Hawaiian assistants. Rev. D. B. Lyman, formerly principal, continues to act as treasurer. These institutions are now under the superintendence of the Hawaiian Board of Education ; the time having expired, when those who established them, can have a voice in their management. The female seminaries in sympathy with us are the same in number as last year, �TIE 60 •• namely four. They have many pupil* s* they can well accommodate. A grant of IftOO from the A. B. C. F. M. for female education in these island* was divided by the Hawaiian Board equally among tbe four schools,'giving each 1125. Some changes have taken place in the teacher* of these schools. Mrs. Smith from California, has been added to the teacher* of the East Maui Female Seminary. Mis* Rowell has retired from the Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as has Miss Pogue from the Waialua Female Seminary, and Miss Thompson from the Kohala Female Seminary. Miss King, it is said, will retire from Kawaiahao Seminary at the close of this year, and Mrs. M. E. Atwater will takeher place. Mrs. and Miss Lyons' family school at Waimea, Hawaii, has been continued the past year; but with fewer pupils, on account of Mrs. Lyons' health. A good work is being done by those who labor in these schools. Though some of the graduates may disappoint the expectations of those who labor for them, ripe fruit is yearly produced by these schools. Make the mothers of the nation pure, and the population will be pure. .. CHINESE WORK. The Hawaiian Board have given $100, the past year toward the support of the Chinese Colporteur, Sit Moon. This brother is doing a good work among his countrymen. Some professing Christians from China have brought letters of dismission from churches in China to the churches here. This is a new feature of our work among this class. These Christian Chinese are for the most part at Kohala, and are spoken of in the highest terms. Sit Moon has visited them, at the Kohala plantation. Ought not this board to do more than it has done for this increasing class of our population? Your present secretary thinks it ought. ■ This THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY. institution has been greatly afflicted the past year in the removal by death of President of the Faculty, Rev. B. W. Parker, who had been connected with the seminary from the time that it was removed from Wailuku, Maui, to Honolulu, Oahu. The A. B. C. F. M. have designated and sent to us a man to be at the head of this school of Prophets, the Rev. C. M. Hyde, D. D., from Massachusetts. The doctor is with us to engage in the work of raising up an efficient and educated Ministry for our Hawaiian churches, and Foreign Missionaries for the North Pacific. In this he will have the aid and sympathy of all lovers of Hawaii nei. The former President of the Faculty and one of the teacher* spent a part of last year in the (J. S. A. The duties of the seminary for the years 1876-1877 were commenced in October, 1876, and continued until the death of the late President of the Faculty. Rev. D. Baldwin taught classes in the seminary a part of the year. Nine pupils have been in attendance at tbe seminary the past year. The number of pupils now is six. One of these S. P. K. Nawaa ha* been recently appointed as a missionary by our board. He has married the JULY, 1877 J- RIE \ It, widow of his brother, late missionary at Mille. They expert lo go to the Marshall Island* by the Morning Star, to labor perhaps at Mille, where Mrs. Nawaa was a popular teacher. PUBLICATIONS. The newspaper Ka Lahui Hawaii, ("The Hawaiian Nation") has been continued as in former years. It has won its way among the people. More than 2000 copies are weekly circulated. Our board have appropriated I*6oo the past year toward its support. We have paid out for printing the paper since last June the sum of 52.693 dollars. Rev. M. Kuaea has had a Sabbafh school book, the Haaicina Mua [First Lessons,] (prepared by Rev. L. Lyons), in his hand for a revision. If it is ready it will be put through the press the coming year. A revised edition of 2000 copies of the Gilbert Islands Xew Testament, is now being printed here in Honolulu by Mr. H. M. Whitney under the superintendence of Rev. H. Bingham. 200 copies of the new edition of Hawaiian Bibles, bound in a cheap form, have been received from New York. 100 of these were a donation from the Bible Society, to make up losses on the sales of the book here, as we sell the book for less than cost price in New York. Our debt to the American Tract Society has been reduced to $176.10. We have forwarded that Society 8500 during the less children, of the Gilbert Islands mission. Mr. Whitney of Ebon says,"The captains and mates were kind, and afforded all the facilities in their power to the accomplishing of our work. I was allowed all the time I asked for at eaoh station." MARQUESAS MISSION. No personal intercourse has been held with the brethren of this mission the past year. Letters however have been received from each of the missionaries. The work is as it has been in years past. Our mis- sionaries are exerting an influence for good over the dwellers on those islands, aboriginal and foreign. They have no idea of leaving the field. For years, efforts have been made to get a reinforcement for this mission, but without success. The missionaries in that field are as last year. Missionaries.

The Morning Star left Honolulu on the sth of July, 1876, on her annual visit to our missions in Micronesia. Rrturning, she arrived at Honolulu on the 14th of January, 1877. having been absent a little over six months. The voyage was a prosperous one. The following missionaries returned to Honolulu on the vessel: Rev B. G. Snow and wife, with Mrs. Kaaialii and child of the Marshall Island mission. Mrs. Logan of Ponspe. R««v. H. J. Taylor and son, with Key. W. B. Kapu and his thn»e mother- ings, to teach his countrymen. On the way he called at Tapiteuea, where he bought books of Mr. Kapu. * * When he arrived honfe he berated his countrymen for having driven off their missionary. They told him they did not drive him off, nor did they wish him to leave, but tharsickness was the occasion of his having. He told them that could never be, that if they had not done anything else, they had neglected him and left him to starve, and neglected to attend on hi* instructions and he had become sick in consequence, and thus been obliged to leave. But he commenced to teach them, going from one council-house to another, till they became interested and fol- �FRIEND, ■I■ H X lowed him round from place to place, to learn. May we not hope that this work is of God, and that good will be done by this young disciple." Apemama. In speaking of Moses Kanoaro, a licensed Gilbert Island preacher in charge of the missionary wtirk on this island, Mr. Bailey says " Moses Kanoaro gives a good account of things, though it would seem there is no special change since last year." " In company with him and Rev. Mr. Kanoa for interpreter we went on shore to his house, where we saw his wife in her department as house-keeper, which she seemed to administer well, so far as I could judge. At any rate the house and surroundings were very neat." Maiana. Six persons have been admitted to church fellowship. Key. W. N. Lono : reports the work ss not progressing. At an examination, three schools were represented. Population of the island from 2 to 3,000, and thought to be increasing. Of the work here Mr. Bailey reports '• the work on Maiana to be going on much as usual. The people at the station give less heed to his [Rev. W. N. Lono's] instructions than do those of a village some eight miles distant to which he often goes. If the darkness is passing away it does so very slowly. But Lono and his worthy help-meet seem to have perseverance to hold on, and we may hope that in due season they will reap a rich reward » * * It must be noted how the people come around the missionary in these islands, and pour into his house and yards, with their often very disagreeable presence, and make themselves very familiar to annoyance. The missionaries are very patient with them, and have much of. this sort to bear." Marakei. Rev. D. Kanoho reports three places where schools are held. Mr. Bailey says : " We found the work going on prosperously. * * * * Mr. Kanoho reports 75 church members, and tbat there is much desire for instruction. There is much drunkenness here as in Tapiteuea, but there is also a strong determination on the part of many to hold on to the ways of the Lord. If would seem that this island is among the brightest* spots in the Gilbert group. Mr. Kanoho and wife are faithful missionaries." Tarawa. For more than a year no missionary had been resident on this island. Mr. G. Hainn returned from Apaiang to his old post in September last. He had visited the church there with Rev. G. Leleo early in the year. Several members were suspended. The Lord's Supper was observed by the church. One has since been added on profession of faith.

Apaiang. At this island Messrs. Taylor and Leleo have labored with much success. Tbe training school was prospering. Mr. Bailey says, " The success of the training school at Apaiang has been fully in proportion to the means used, and the young mt-'n appear well."

The church seems to be in a good, healthy condition, and the people generally seem much more respectful and decorous than they have been. Mr. Bailey adds, " Upon the whole, appearances are more favorable for Apaiang now than they have ever been, and we may hope that a great blessing will descend upon this hitherto hard field, if the work is continued." About 200 belong to the Christian party ; 65 are in good standing in the church. Population in November, 1571.2792; in April, 1876, 2823. It is very doubtful whether Mr. Taylor will ever be able to return again to Apaiang. Of Mr. Bingham's work mention has already been made. We add, that Mrs. Bingham is assisting in reading the proofs of the revised Gilbert Islands New Testament, for which book, and also for hymn books, our late delegate says, in speaking ol the work on Marakei, there, is " great demand with no supply." At Butaritari and Makin there are two churches, one of which is under the rare of Rev. J. W. Kanoa. This church seems to have suffered very much during the late absence of its pastor. Only seven church members are in regular standing. Mr. Bailey says that " Nan Teitei, brother of the king, sent $200 in gold per Morning Star to E. O. Hall & Son, to purchase lumber for a new church." The other church is at Kuma [the north end of Butaritari | and Makin, under the pastoral charge of Rev. R. Maka. It is represented as in a prosperous state ; 11 persons have been admitted to the church the past year. 59 church membersare in regular standing Mr. Maka's health is not good. Schools are not in a prosperous state. This island is the most fertile of the as a group. In speaking of the whole group, our delegate says : "A field of 30,000 people, the number which the Gilbert Islands are sup- posed to contain, should engage the earnest attention of all workers for the heathen." In our portion of the group there are—l station occupied a- part of the past year by one American, 7 by Hawaiians, 6 outstations, 8 churches, 295 church members in regular standing, 2 American and 8 Hawaiian missionaries, 1 American and 7 Hawaiian female assistant missionaries, 3 native catechists, 10 teachers in day schools.

The number of laborers in this field has been reduced very much, but our hearts are cheered to know that new missionaries are about to supply tbe needs. Rev. E. M. Pease, m. d. and wife have been designated to this field by the 'A. B. C. F. M. to reside nt Ebon with Mr. Whitney snd wife. parture one pupil of his school wa* atstiuned This is a great acquisition to the mission. 61 Dr. and Mrs. Pease are now here ready to go down on the Morning Star. Mr. Kaaia and wife return now to their field. Of Mr. Nawaa and wife mention has been already made. Rev B. G. Snow ami wife have been compelled to leave the field for the present on account of Mr. Snow's health. Mr. and Mrs. Whitney are not strong but continue in the work. The work on these islands has been impeded the past year by wars and rumors of war. Milk; the island formerly occupied by the late Kahelemauna and his wife (now Mrs. Nawaa), is spoken of as the most promising field in the Marshall Islands, Jeremiah a licensed preacher of this group has been ordained\s pastor over the church at Mille, 2 deacons elected by the church, were 6et apart to their work by the laying on of hands—and 23 persons received into the church,—the chief and his wife among the latter. Andrew a Marshall island man, is the teacher at Aruo. The people very much desire a Hawaiian missionary. Some 3 or 4, in the estimation of Andrew, have passed from death into life. On the island of Mejuro, war has reduced the number of scholars iv the schools, and also hindered the progress of the cause. Mr. Kekuewa, who is the Hawaiian teacher there says, " It is a time of darkness at Mejuro. There are 3 great impediments in the way of the progress of the Gospel, viz : Ist, the conduct of foreigners; 2d, war; 3d, dancing. Jaluij is well supplied by Rev. D.

It will be remembered that there was a severe hurricane on this island two years ago, which did much damage rfl houses, lands and trees. Capelle & Co. have stores here, and do a large business. Rumors of war, though there has been flo fighting, have not helped on the work. Mr. Kapali is not strong, but labors as he has opportunity, and is respected by foreigners and natives. At Xamarik, Matthew, the Marshall Island teacher, was ordained deacon with power to marry. The people very much need pastoral care. 12 persons were admitted to the church by baptism. This was rh former years one of the most flourishing fields in the Marshall Islands. Here Kapali and Kaelemakule labored with great acceptance to the people. There are some 60 church members on the island; several church members were suspended last year. This island needs the watchful care of a good, energetic, pious Hawaiian minister. Who will go to fill the place ? The American missionaries reside on the island of Ebon. The training school is on that island ; the school is doing a good work for the Marshall islands*. Mrs. Peace will take part in this school. The church has prospered under tbe cate of Mr. Whittle). Rumors of war however have hindered the progress of the work of the Lord. The church building here is a good one. The church members are somewhat awake. There are many things to discourage in this �62 THE FRIEND, JULY, 1877.

The work in this island is progressing rapidly. Four new churches have been formed in Mr. Sturges' field. There are now 10 independent churches with their own pastors, superintended by Mr. Sturges in that part of the island. Mr. Sturges writes : *' 1 find it pleasant work to feed these, though sometimes I must cut the slice thin to make the loaf go around." " Religious interest began during the week of prayer in January and has not wholly ceased, though 1 have so little time to follow it up: Schools at Ova continue to prosper." Mr. Logan writes : " Our year's work on Ponape as a whole has been very encouraging. School unusually well attended; scholars have made good progress. The people of Kenan have built a school house, 30x40 feet. 25 persons have been added to the church of Kenfti, and 20 fallen ones have been restored.

JULY, • Amt Receipti tor Bible Fund FRIEND, strengthened our hands; and we trust we shall now return to our various posts to labor more earnestly than ever before. We have fifty-nine churches, many of them too feeble to support a pastor, and we recommend that small neighboring churches beunited, that thus their efficiency may be in- creased. We hear with wonder and joy of the glorious revivals of religion in other lands, yet alas, we are called to mourn over our own leanness. Doubtless the sin; that defile the churches have grieved the Spirit of God. A spirit of worldliness prevails, ancient idolatry has been revived in some places, drinking awa and other intoxicating drinks, im- purity in the domestic relations and great indifference to religion. A more vigorous exercise of discipline must be exercised ere we can expect a blessing. When we heartily join in endeavors to purify the churches, we may hope the windows of heaven will be opened in answer to our prayer, '• Oh Lord, revive thy work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make known ; in wrath remember mercy." BENEVOLENT CONTRIBUTIONS. [For these see Treasurer's report and statistical table.] SABBATH SCHOOLS Are kept up in most of the churches; in some with untiring zeal, but in many the same lukewartnness that is taking away the life of the churches, is withering the Sabbath school. The command of our Lord, " Feed my lambs," should lead pastors to devote more earnest care to these and not leave them entirely to the superintendent and teachers. Sit Moon, the Chinese colporteur, has a very interesting Sabbath school of Chinamen in Honolulu. BOARDING SCHOOLS. The feeble health of Rev. S. E.

The gray locks of the few missionary fathers that remain, admonish us that we carrhot expect to have them abide long with us. We hailed with joy the arrival of Dr. C. M.

"Pleasant Memories."—In the issue of the Advertiser of July 21, the editor dilates upon the pleasant impressions made upon the minds of the passengers landing from the Australian steamers and spending a few hours in our shady bowers, riding up to the Pali and listening to the sweet music discoursed by Berger's band of Hawaiian musicians. This item reminds us of a paragraph in a letter received per last Australian steamer from the Rev. Dr. Fletcher, who passed our island** in 1871, and who will be remembered by his lecture in the Fort Street Church on the siege of Jerusalem by Titus. His letter opens thus : " Time is rapidly making our pleasant intercourse of a few days in Honolulu in 1871, seem a thing of the far past. I wish I could renew the pleasure, for your home in Honolulu always stands in my memory as a synonym for an earthly paradise. lam now at Adelaide, with as much labor, responsibility and honor as is good for a modest man like myself.

Sculptured and excessively dusty bishops, with folded hands and shepherd's crook, lie in marble dignity. Noble families of Lausaune and Berne are still remembered in their coats of arms and lengthy descriptions. Workmen were busy in restoring a portion of the church and very persistently interfered with the historic memories of the interior. Under these arches Calvin, Viret, and Farel held their famous conference and ushered in the Reformation. But the real beauty of this old cathedral is in its exterior, in its flying buttresses, graceful spires, sculptured apostles, and massive walls. Worn and ancient steps led up to the belltower from which we caught a glorious view of the town and blue lake and encircling mountains On every object for miles about fell the softening beauty of the morning sunlight. The wooded slopes and distant plains were bright with the early leaves of May. A fine terrace shaded with old trees lies on oae side of the cathedral and in this quiet and cool retreat one would gladly stay and dream the whole day through. Just beneath 1 noticed a large class of laughing, merry Swiss girls, who were enjoying tbe sunshine (of which they seemed a part), far more than the instructions of their drawing master, who sat contentedly in their midst. Sketch books and pencils were powerless in this wonderful beauty of sky and cloud and mountain. The old academy from which the fine army of students have just issued, is a short distance beyond. This is the intellectual'center of an intellectual city. Lausaune has seen many noble thinkers and writers and students. Here Vinet, that fine representative of Christian scholarship lived and lectured. His widow is still here. The library is a little world in itselfand presided over by a most devoted custodian, who exhibited his treasures with a very enthusiastic fondness. Up the hill, a little farther on is the ancient chateau with.its four turrets, which basked in the sunlight, in a kind of sleepy indolent way, as its six or eight-centuries fairly entitled it to do. It has lost its former feudal and warlike character and become a very proper and sedate modern affair in the interior and been converted into public offices. The shady court near at hand was filled with gentlemen at noon time discussing business and politics, etc. Very important looking characters in green coats with huge brass-buttons passed here and there, the very personifications of propriety. Off on.the hills lay beautiful residences, iv the cool recesses of groves and shrubbery. In tbe suburbs is the former home of Kemble the actor, and his body is buried in the cemetery on the road to Berne. Then in the forest still farther on tradition tells us tbe Druids once worshiped. Eyes and head and heart have to be kept very busy, linking all these dates and names and events with the present. Then came a little visit at the Arland Museum to see some fine pictures of Swiss scenery and historical events. Lausaune has had its brilliant days. Literature and literary people bave found a home here and the names of Voltaire and Gibbon, of Hallerand Constant, and Vul- 1877. liemin are all more or less connected with Lausaune and the Canton dc Vaud. Geneva and Lausaune have furnished thought for Europe and the great problems of life, and death, the investigation of scientific and literary subjects, the foil and free discussion of all high themes have had here those who have taken a vigorous and intense interest in them. Few greater thinkers or purer hearts has the world ever known than Alexander Vinet, a man who united to an intellectual capacity of the highest order, a heart most delicately sensitive and exquisitely attuned to all spiritual influences. As a lecturer in theology and literature he drew his pupils about him with a remarkable magnetism and in his own beautiful life portrayed the noble ideal he held up before them. After its centuries of political strife, and its intellectual struggles and victories, Lausaune is to-day a thriving city, of beautiful homes, of quiet and regular life and full of many hopeful prophecies for the future. But Geneva, Lausaune and ideed all Switzerland need the same rich spiritual blessings which America and England have of late enjoyed. There is much real earnestness among many of the pasteurs and their followers, but the country thirsts for some glorious wave of religious revival and inspiration, which shall bring to these Swiss cantons a renewal of that spirit of earnest piety, which has shown here so markedly in other days. Pray that it may soon come. : TOQHUENAYVEVEY. AT May S. I can't resist the temptation to sit right down here on the quay to write a few lines, in the presence o'f these wonderful mountains, with my face to the open valley of the Rhone, where the sunset is just now saying good-bye and lighting up the distant peaks. This is on the long promenade of this favorite and fashionable town, whose elegant hotels and pensions, with their terraces and gardens and balconies border the shore. The lake is quiet and peaceful, stirred only by a gentle ripple. A little puffing steamer is hurrying down towards Geneva. A few boats break the still surface of the waters. On the far western horizon hangs a fringe of showers, veiling the mountains. A muttering of thunder comes to us, which is too distant, however, to disturb our enjoyment of the sunset. Directly opposite are the towering Alps of Savoy, rising sheer from the waters of the lake. The majestic Dent d'Oche is just seen under the heavy masses of cloud, farther on the Dent dv Midi, then curving splendidly about the ends of the lake come peak after peak, whose snows are soft and warm in the fading light. Chillon lies a distant white speck in the gathering mists on the edge of the dusky waters. We lA Lausaune this morning while the big drops fell ceaselessly about our car. A few small towns lay along the route, but none of them of any especial importance. Long stretches of budding vines, ancient and gnarled and mossy, like armies of little black dwarfs, and orchards' of snowy pear and tinted apple trees and blossoming lilacs followed us all to Vevey. Vevey, the guide-book says, is the old Roman Vibiscum. By the way every other place you visit along the road seems to be built on Roman foundations, and some old inscription or carved stone links these later days with tho/e long ago times when the eagles of the empire ruled where now the white cross of the feudal flag keeps watch and ward over these wave washed picturesque towns. This warm and favored nook is dearly loved by those who come from the cold and rigorous countries of the nortn; and summer and winter is frequented by English, Russians, Germans and Americans. We found a most delightfullly picturesque spot among the poplars on the outskirts of the town, a tower of the middle ages. Near this once lived Ludlow, one of tbe judges of Charles 1., of England, who made Vevey his home for thirty years. He, with one Broughton, who read the sentence of death to Charles, is buried on the hill above the tower. This tower is in partial ruins, and with its mantling ivy, and wide fosse, grassy and flower-grown, makes most charming picture. Two rooms in the round tower are furnished in antique style, hung with armor and ancient portraits. In the tower room, dimly lighted by narrow openings in the massive walls, sits a knight in full armor, looking i»it grimly at those who are thus intruding on his privacy. Finely carved cabinets, helmets, huge swords, cross-bows, and faded tapestries, nil serve to uid the imagination in retracing the centuries to old Peter of Savoy, who once held the tower. At the other end of the wall rises another tower half concealed in the ivy, where our quiet concierge pointed out the gloomy opening into which the poor victims were thrown by their conquerors. I had looked forward to a quiet little supper at Rousseau's favorite inn, La Clef," but though I discovered an immense swinging key, I was unable to obtain from the proprietor sufficiently definite information to lead me to sacrifice a very comfortable, modern hotel for the uncertain possibilities of more poetic surroundings. Do come to Vevey when you can, it is charming beyond words, and more comfortable than I can tell. Right along with this most majestic scenery you have every possible convenience of hotels, of beautiful shops, of art and bookstores, and everything is done to render the tourist oblivious to that which is in any wise unpleasant in travel. Alontreux, May 10. You see we are moving on step by step, pitching our camp where inclination leads us. But we are nearly at the end of our week's excursion and just beyond us lie Chillon s white walls which are our morrow's goal. It is astonishing how much one can see in a very short space of time if one is only in earnest! —Just back of Vevey perched on the heights is one of the most interesting • feudal remains of Switzerland, the chateau of Blonay, which has been in, the same family for some seven or eight hundred years. The air was vibrant with bells and the streets dotted with country people in gala-dress, on their way to church as we walked up to it this morning. Certainly a most glorious Ascension Day ! It seemed as if all the world bad caught the inspiration of this day of triumph and victory and sang praise unto Him who is its Lord and King.

A free, joyous mountain stream leaping from rock to rock came down in a perlect holiday mood from the mountains above and glanced in and out of the trees and their shadows, crowning its surface with wreaths of foam one moment, only to throw them into the keeping of the sunshine, the next. Then there were fields and fields of long grasses, of butter cups, daisies, crimson clover-heads, forget-me-nots, dandelions, and a host of other wild flowers, whose names I do not know, rising in brilliant terraces up to the fine old castle, on the mountain side. The arched gateway, the massive Roman tower in the center, the long corridors, the spacious dining hall, all remain as in the days when the lords of the castle held sway over the country for miles about. In jousts and tourneys, in battles and contests, in wars and crusades the knights of Blonay held a conspicuous part. From their high vantage ground they could sweep the coast and country and lake at one glance and kept in submission their vassals. Nowhere have I been able to realize the life of the middle ages as here, in the narrow lane down which the horsemen without doubt dashed with their fleet footed steeds, in coat of mail, to the foray in the valleys below; the heavy gateways, the paved court, the windows from which the ladies waved adieu to the knights departing, the AUGUST, 1877.. 67 There was something very touching in the country that there were only two prisoners under sight oL so many tomb-stones in this same lock aud key.

Perhaps 1 have told you before that this seminary was to fit and prepare young men for the evangelical churches of Switzerland. There is another seminary in the national church, but the views held are rather liberal. Through the kind introduction of Prof, dc la Harpe of the former, I have met the professors and students, and received a most warm and Christian welcome. I think the students at the New Haven Seminary would see something of a difference between their surroundings and those of the students here. They have a few rooms in the rear of the church of the Oratone, very simple and plain. The young men seem to come from the poorer classes, just such men as 1 fancy went out in Calvin's day as missionaries and teachers. The opening conference was in an upper room which isjpached by winding stone-stairs. Here I found quite a room full. There were present five or six professors-men with noble faces, refined and cultured and Christian. I was especially struck by the earnest, thoughtful yet cheerful tone of all their remarks. The president read a translation of a very interesting sermon by 1877. Mr. Spurgeon, and Prof, dc la Harpe and one or two other gentlemen spoke in a way wnich I am sure would receive the tion of brave old Calvin, who undoubtedly through these bright heavenly years has been adding the sweetness ol the Saviour's love to the righteous and just decrees of the law. Surely his pale face in his portrait on the wall had nothing in it of disapproval. The first morning there was one lecture on Exegesis, one on the history of religious Dogma, and one on the Archeology of the Old Testament. I could understand very well and am sure it will prove a most useful exercise. I certainly shall endeavor to devote three mornings in a week to it. Some of the students are most agreeable. 1 had a very interesting conversation this morning with a young Swiss from Vevey and with a Spaniard from Malaga, who is fitting himself for the work in Spain. original spheroidal form with slight devia- tions. This tetrahedroid shape into which the solid crust of the earth collapsed necessarily gives to the surface its three great shoulders in the north temperate zone of the American continent, the Europe-Africa continent, and the Asiatic mass, each with their tapering southern prolongations, the last in Australia, along the three ridges of the tetrahedroid. It has also given the apex of the tetrahedroid in the Antarctic continent, with its antipodal base in the depression of the Arctic Polar Sea. Each ol the continent shoulders also has its antipodal ocean depression. A collateral and very important part of Mr. Green's hypothesis is that of a " twin shift of the crust."

The former volumes we noticed in the Friend of June, 1873, and October, 1876. It is highly gratifying to read in the publishers' notice, a full recognition of the important services of the Rev. Samuel Hunt, who was for several years Mr. Wilson's private secretary, and without whose aid Mr. Wilson could not have written this voluminous historical work amid his many public duties as Vice Piesident and lecturer. Mr. Hunt, as we have good reason for asserting, acted a far more important part than that of a mere amanuensis or copyist. It is the joint work of the two men, and perhaps neither could possibly have written it without the other's efficient aid and co-operation, and hence is quite unique in the history of literature.

The literary character of volume 3d sustains that of the former volumes. After reading the former volumes Judge Allen remarked to us, that the work possessed the interest of a romance, although consisting of matters purely historical. As years roll on much of the interest connected with events treated of in this work will die away, yet the " slave element" in American history will never be -forgotten or cease to exert an important influence, hence the value of a trustworthy history like this of Mr. Wilson and Mr. Hunt. Works like this and that of " Uncle Tom's Cabin," will not cease to find readers for ages to come. There is a desire—morbid perhaps—in the public mind to revert to scenes of plantation life and the influence of the institution of ' slavery upon American politics and Ameri- can history.

Paul, in writing to" Titus, (2:11, 12) says, The grace of God bringing salvation to all "men hath appeared, teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously and godly." The word rendered teaching means the training or educating of children, a? in Acts 7:22—" Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians," and growing out of this, it has the meaning also of chastening, disciplining. This appears very clearly in Heb.-12:5, 11. Here the verb and its kindred noun appear eight times. In the tenth verse appears the object God has in view in disciplining his children—" That we may become partakers of his holiness." In a kindred passage, (2d Peter, 1:4) " The exceeding great and precious promises " are made prominent in God's way of educating His children ; and the object is the same, that they may be partakers of the divine nature. Sometimes it is necessary that the discipline be very severe. Then there is danger of discouragement, of yielding to despondency, and the exceeding great and precious promises, as the Holy Spirit suggests them, one after another, to the mind of the sorrowful, are like light in darkness, the dawning of hope. To become partakers of the divine nature is something glorious, calculated to call forth our noblest aspirations. This is not like the longings of the Brahmans to be absorbed in God, lost in Him. It is to become like God in holiness, in knowledge; to be changed into His image from glory to glory. This, and only this, will satisfy, -as the Psalmist declares, " When I awake, I shall be satisfied with Thy likeness." Disappointments enter largely into the discipline to which God's children are subject. We are disappointed in ourselves. We hope for intellectual and moral excellence in a high degree, but very seldom are our hopes realized. Some hope for those accomplishments that will attract admiration. Others hope for wealth, and for the deference and power that come fronf wealth. They are disappointed. A few, one in a thousand, or one in a million perhaps, attain tbe object sought, whether it be wealth, fame, or power ; still they are not satisfied. Their anticipations are not realized. Byron sought fame, or be awoke one morning and found himself famous. Yet he could recall only three happy days in all his life. Thus it is with all who expect satisfaction in power, riches, or fame. Vanity and vexation of spirit is their experience. The soul is 1877. God-like to be satisfied with anything that the world CHn give. People are disappointed in their friends also. If, in prosperity, many are their professed friends; but in adversity, most of these stand aloof, and manifest a coldness that is little akin to true friendship. Job was disappointed in his friends. They seem to have Had a strong affection for him ; and, for a time, their sympathy soothed him in his sore afflictions; but it would have been more for his peace if they had kept away. They did not understand his case, or in charging him with wickedness, they aggravated his sorrows. Nor was it strange that he should call them " miserable comforters." Thus people, in every profession, in every calling of life, are subject to disappointment; and every disappointment whispers, " earth is not your rest; there is no satisfying portion below the skies " In every disappointment is an exhortation to choose the better part that can not be taken away. God himself is the better part, the portion of those who love Him, as the Psalmist asserts, '• His loving kindness is better than life." God trains his children for the better land in various ways. He draws them to Himself by loving kindness. He tries and refines them by afflictions. He weans them from earth by disappointments. And He has given His Son to bear our griefs, to carry our sorrows, and to take away our sins. Of His fulness have we received ; and we may still receive until we are full,—until it is no longer we that live, but He liveth in us, the life of our lives. too Japan Correspondence. Kobe, Japan, April, 1877. Dear Old " Friend."—For reasons which shall be explained, let me give you some extracts from the Japan Weekly Mail: " Before the country was open to foreigner* or bad felt tbe street) of foreign ideas, protected prostitution and infanticide, all but legalized, had kept down the population of theseislands to the point at which, with the assistance of an occasional epidemic, it could produce a sufficiency of food: and the means of clothing, housing, and over using itself without assistance from outside; which constitutes independence, according to the advocates of protection in exe/cis. That threefourths of the population toiled in comparative penury to support the remainder in idleness and luxury. That the nation made no progress whatever, as we understand progress to be, viz :—lmprovement in the condition of all; but remained sunk in a slumber of anything but sleeping beauty —all tbis to protectionists of the true type, matters not what. The country was independent. But the conditions of the problem are changed. Japan is awake. Both the evil practices wo have mentioned are recognized by the government, as at all events, something to be ashamed of; and as the last census shows, the population is increasing, at something like the normal rate. Its people are no longer contented with their misery. They clamor for real progress. " New wants have been created; new habits are forming; new voices are speaking. nation been dependent on for" Twice has tbe grain, for salvation from famine. eign imports of And we take it, the problem, as it will soon begin to press on Japanese economists, is much tbe same as that which began to distress English- 1840, vis—however its limited average bo made to produce enough of valuable consideration to purchase needlul tmpplies.'' men in This was said in behalf of free-trade. I quote it in behalf of a free gospel. Nothing else can eradicate these odious vices. When people hear of the great changes now effected here, the schools, colleges, railroads, telegraphs and steamers—and see the rich silks and exquisite works of art which they produce, some think it is a waste of time and money to try to evangelize them, that is a mistake.—Nothing short of the gospel and the grace of God can save Japan or any other people, as Egypt, Greece and Rome testify. Cheating and lying are so prevalent among all classes, that it is extremely difficult to ascertain the truth, either through the press or by conversation. Those who employ servants to do their marketing, take it for granted that they will be squeezed a little at every opportunity. From all accounts I think the mass of church members appear very well. They contribute cheerfully, and considering their means liberally, for benevolent object. May 18. The divine blessing continues to rest on all efforts, so far as I know, to evangelize Japan. And it is marvelous to see how the government, without designing to do it, is aiding this good work. First by opening easy and quick communication to different parts of the empire ; and secondly by adopting the Christian Sabbath as a day of rest, and thereby giving its employees liberty to keep the Lord's day holy; and thirdly, by its great liberality in the cause of education. In these particulars it is, I think, without a parallel in heathen lands. Beside Professor Clark, and Griffis (author of " The Mikado's' Empire "), who were very useful, they have employed four men as teachers who have been wonderfully blessed in their labors, both for the mental and moral culture of their pupils. President Clark (of the Agricultural College of Massachusetts), who was engaged for one year to organize such a college in Japan, succeeded by tact and decision in getting permission to use the Bible as his text book for teaching morality, and used it so skillfully that he had the pleasure of seeing his whole class of sixteen hopefully converted; and at the same time his employers, government agents, highly approve his conduct, and would gladly have him continue his labors with them. Another person, Captain Jones of the United States, employed in teaching English in his own house, taught the Gospel and more than thirty were hopefully converted, most of whom are now preparing for tbe ministry. Two Canadian clergymen, acting as teachers, have also organized churches, one of 16 members and the other of 80. A member of Kobe church is employed as a superintendent of the prison, and hopes that through his labor and prayers 50 or 60 prisobers are converted. As ever yours in Christ, P. J. Gulick. �THE FRIEND, AUGUST, . ■ FIRST PREMIUM GOL.D MEDAL waa awarded tbe Industrial Inhibition, 1875, IMIK M. DAVIDSON. Allotni-i «l TO THE PUBLIC! l,nw. at Photographs A.

And oh! the wildness, when a man has ventured, and fallen, and begins to hide his wrong, with which he will throw out his hands on every side to save himself from exposure ! And here is where the Lord's Prayer applies with terrific force, when it says, " Lead us not into temptation." When a man is under a pressure, and is striving for his own safety, and his heart's love for his family is awakened, and the respect which he commands in the community and his reputation for uprightness are in danger of being sacrificed, and some desperate expedient is opened to him—under such circumstances a. man does not know what he will do. And how many men there are who breakdown in just this manner! They begin by simply betraying trust in a safe way. That brings them to a point in which they have to betray it a little more extensively. Then they must retrace their steps, or they must take a more audacious step that takes them nearer and nearer to destruction,; and crime at last stands before them, and says, " 1 only can save you ; " and with horror and resistance they plead against crime ; but at last, the alternative being utter destruction or crime, they take crime, and in taking that they take destruction too ; for crime cheats ; it lies ; it promises in the ear while it stabs with fatal poison stroke. There is but one thing that is safe. Truth is safe. Honesty before men is safe. Moderation of desire is safe. Trust in God, do nothing that you are ashamed, morning T night, to open up before him in prayer, and then you will be.safe ; but one single step aside from that is full of peril. The Duke of Wellington, it is said, replied to every letter, no matter from how humble a source. A clergyman who lived in a distant part of the kingdom once wrote to his Grace, on whom neither he nor his parish had a shadow of claim, to beg for a subscription to rebuild a church. By return of mail came back a letter from the Duke to the effect that he really could not see why in the world he should have been applied to for such an object; but the parson sold the letter as an autograph for five pounds sterling, and put the Duke down for that amoqnt among the subscribers.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Comly, has entered upon his official duties, coming with a good war-record and reputation as a successful journalist, having for many years managed the Ohio State Journal, one of the oldest papers of the West. He served during the war, only one grade below President Hayes. They were companions, on more than a score of hard fought battle fields, and have been intimately associated in political and public life. Our limits will not allow us to republish the addresses of the retiring Minister, Mr. Pierce, or that of the in-coming General Comly, but they were highly appropriate and suited to the occasion. We feel confident His Majesty will find the present incumbent as friendly and conciliatory as has been Mr. Pierce, who for eight years has so honorably .represented the United States Government at the Hawaiian Court, during which period has been negotiated the Treaty of Reciprocity, which is operating so eminently beneficial to the business and commercial interests of both countries. "Fear God, Honor the King."—This was the apostle Peter's doctrine, and it is ours. Considering what God hath said about the Sabbath, while it is highly proper on all suitable occasions, to honor the King by firing a Royal Salute, we think so far as a salute on that Day is concerned, it would be more honorable to His Majesty to follow Shakespeare's idea : '• But to my mind.—though native her* And to the manner bom,—it is a custom More honour'd in Ibe breach, than the observance." As to the exchange of salutes between national vessels and the government on the Sabbath, we have always admired our good old Governor Kekuanaoa's reply, when a messenger announced that a certain vessel of war recently arrived, was prepared to exchange a salute. The Governor was in Church at the time, (a highly suitable place for a Governor or any of the King's officers on that day) when the messenger arrived, the Governor replied apopo —to-morrow. " " Cassell's Family Bible.—While glancing over new books at Whitney's bookstore, which he was just opening from London, pur attention was arrested by a beautiful copy of Cassell's Family Bible. Without speaking in words of exaggeration, the illustrations are excellent and numerous. We have been carefully examining this edition of the Bible, and can most cordially recommend it, for the type, references, notes, illustrations and general execution are most perfect. It contains "more than 500 engravings." .Some of these are of the best description; artists and publishers have executed their work well. The engravings are really a good commentary; those of Rome, Athens, Jerusalem, and other ancient cities are reproduced in a style reflecting the highest credit upon the artists. They are most life-like. The price is only SIS.OO. —Mr. Whitney has for sale Bibles in various other styles of printing and binding. The Rev.

The journey from Geneva to Zurich is rendered especially interesting by the opportunity which is afforded of visiting Berne and Fribourg, which lie on the route. It seemed a little odd, as you can imagine, to be leaving Geneva, where I had been for so many months, and going away from the pleasant circle Which had been so marked a feature of the winter's life there. But one of the characteristic features of a life oftravel is the parting and the " good-bye which come with nearly every day. Those who come abroad should certainly know Geneva well, it is worth far more than a swift summer visit, and beautiful as it is when the warm lights of May and June soften the landscape, yet one sees the Geneva of thought and action best in winter, with its conferences, lectures, addresses, etc. If any of our families are thinking of coming for a year to Europe 1 hope they will give Geneva its due attention. But this is not Fribourg certainly, but rather a parting look back at the old Calvinistic city which has lain like a scroll before me from the sunny days of December to the fragrant twilights of June. Switzerland undergoes the most complete metamorphosis of any country in the world with the coming of summer. From a lonely silent world of icy wastes and solemn forests, it becomes the play-ground of all Europe and its passes and lakes and glaciers and mountains are the delight of innumerable tourists who come like an army from the beginning of summer till the early days of autumn. Just now the current of travel has set in and all the trains and stationsfhre animated by the faces of those who are seeking rest or pleasure away from busy, dusty cities amid the cool retreats of these Swiss mountains and valleys. I know that it is extremely democratic but if you want to see the people of the country, you must keep away from the first class cars and compartments and occasionally find a nook somewhere amid the 3rd class passengers. If your pride, especially American pride, can stand this economical venture you will find yourself abundantly repaid. The cars themselves are quite comfortable enough for any one except a confirmed invalid or persistent " �82 « THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, nristocrat, and the people thoroughly civil polite. The peasantry can of course be c seen here, and they seem to take with remarkable ease to this modern method of travel. There is a sad decline in picturesque costumes however, and the dress of the present day with its lack of artistic possibilities is taking the place of these uniqe arrangements of toilette which have made the Swiss such agreeable additions to the pictures and sketches which have filled the portfolios of artists wandering in their val- leys and by their lake. Occasionally you catch glimpses of people in their national costume ; a woman with her bodice brilliant with silver chains, or another with her head ornamented with a wide spreading bow of ribbon, reaching out like two wings, but the romance of the quaint and curious fancies of the olden time is as a general thing lost under the bonnets and hats and dresses which you would find anywhere among the poor people of New York or London. The mountains with their glittering summits, the foamy streams, the wide reaches of the valleys, with their endless varieties of coloring, still remain, but you must not think that in all other respects you are to find your romantic imaginings fulfilled in coming to Switzerland. But after all, railroads, telegraphs, perfect postal arrangements, hotels, daily papers have their advantages, and you can dispense with a little romance perhaps in the midst of so much comfort. The road from Geneva to Fribourg lies through a very beautiful country, not ever wild or grand, but always beautiful. I was fortunate in my day, in visiting this Catholic city, as it was one of the most important fete days of the year. Every store was closed but the whole town was out in holiday costume. All the long winding streets were convertedinto avenues of freshly leaved trees, as countless boughs had been cut from the groves about the city and placed in front of nearly every house. The effect of all this bright, fresh summer beauty among the old houses and springing magically from thepavements was very beautiful. In that pleasant, informal way in which travellers oftentimes make arquaintence, I joined company with a young Belgian, who, like myself, would see all there was to be seen. He had been in America, had spent some months in Philadelphia, during our Exposition, and would, if he could have staid in the country, which seems to be a kind of constant lure to Europeans. I must confess that I knew very tittle else about Fribourg but that it contained one of the most wonderful organs in the world, and of course hurried ofTto the Cathedral, to be informed that there was only aVare possibility that I could hear it at all. Having several hours of sunlight left we. devoted them to seeing the town. Fribourg has no Lake to give it fame but its streets run down to the swift, tawny waters of the Sarine which winds about the base of the town. Two beautiful suspension bridges, spanning with one splendid leap the valley beyond the town add wonderfully to the landscape. Under the first the river passes and from the second the traveler is favored with a bird's-eye view, which amply repays him for the walk hither. It seems as if the very atmosphere which surrounds the city had caught the spirit of the Fete-day, 1877. so suffused is it with radianf sunlight. The Cathedral tower rises like a guardian of the city. Four ancient towers, loom up in the foreground whose history perhaps dates from that far past when Berthold of Zaehringen founded the city. A portion of the ancient wall still remains, and about us on the two banks are beautiful groves of trees. There is just beyond a winding walk among the trees out into the country from which you have a fine view of the Moleson and its snowy cap. A little Catholic church lies on the way and its interior is brilliant with flowers, and pictures and relics. Farther on is a large crucifix bearing the dead Christ. Passing under this ancient portal, which may have served as an entrance to the city in olden times, you reach a little chapel, with an exterior like a Greek temple, •' La Chapelle dc Lorette," which perches high on the bank and is curiously interesting in its roughly fashioned votive offerings, the simplicity of which would be amusing, were there not something pathetic in the spirit which prompted their donors. After having been so long in Geneva, I feel almost as if 1 was transported into some different world, as 1 meet these reminders of superstition and Catholicism on every hand. The great wave of the reformation seems to have left un- harmed its saints, crucifixes, relics and staand its peculiar middle age atmosphere. Our way leads us back past the cafes where the men are gathered for their afternoon's amusement, and through quiet streets, winding up to the public Place, with its statue of Pere Girard, one of the men, the memory of whose goodness still survives. At one side is a grand linden tree, still putting forth its leaves in its old age, though one would have said that long ago it was entitled to a rest and perfect freedom from effort. For the story runs that after the battle of Morat in 1476 a young Fribourgeois, ran the long distance to announce to his fellow citizens the result of the battle, but could only shout Victoire " as he fell dead from exhaustion. "The branch of linden which he bore in his hand was immediately planted and to-day we have the sturdy growth of four hundred years, as a silent witness to the heroic deed, which we will hope is founded on truthful and authentic history. Fribourg has jts famous Jesuitical seminary, now however closed, its Hotel dc Ville, but the great attraction is the church of St. Nicholas or rather the organ which it contains. I fairly haunted the cathedral for fear that possibly I might have to go away without really hearing a note from the pipes which lifted themselves so silently in the rear of the church. But after many efforts anß inquiries I achieved my object. The church itself is a fine Gothic structure and its interior was rendered especially beautiful by the verdant boughs which were fastened to each stone pillar and made the nave very bright and fete-like. A kind hearted concierge with a tongue running glibly in French and German, showed me hither and thither, the altar, and the side chapels, with their pictures and flowers, and bones and skulls, in cases and ornamented most profusely, recalling some saint or martyr in name if not in reality. As the twilight gathered I came back again and in the dim half-lighted church waited for the music, tues - whose praises have been sung by so many travelers. And it came very full and rich and powerful filling the church and in great waves of sound to the arches above. The organist played for about a half or three quarters of an hour giving us in that time four or five pieces, which enabled him to introduce many of the remarkable effects of which this famous organ is capable. The Tempest is very grand and the thunder peals forth with a terrible reality, crashing and resounding, and then dying away in the distance, in the most perfect imitation of that far off sound which is so agreeable a change after the fierce tumult which has preceeded it. Far above the wild, and stormy war of the tempest, could be heard the sweet, clear, flute-like notes of the organ, like a hymn of peace in the midst of tumult. It seemed almost impossible that the same instrument could produce such utterly different music. The human-voice is wonderfully well imitated and after the music was over I asked if the organist had not been singing, as he played. Though 1 had thought that it might be the vox humaua, yet I was scarcely prepared for anything so remarkably real and true, rising and falling with the sweet, melodious tenderness of some voice in the distance, or rather as the mingled cadence of two voices, not ever strongly, sharply marked but causing you to listen hoping that the next note would make it sure whether you were really being deceived or not. Then the echoes which we listened to; so soft and sweet, that they are more like the quiet hint of the firm strong notes' which preceded them, than any real sounds from the same instrument. But it is impossible for me to give you as I would like to do the wonderful music of this Fribourg organ,—a task as difficult as it would be to endeavor to translate into plain prose the beauty of these June days on the banks of Lake Zurich. After the concert 1 followed the man who has the arduous duty of working the bellows, up into the loft where the enormous apparatus is placed which is necessary to furnish the air for all the thunder and music to which we had just been listening. We had been enjoying a» immense deal while this poor fellow must have been working with all his energy, " treading out the air." The organ itself extends up into the tower of the church, and from the front is in no especial degree striking in appearance, nothing at all like the magnificent proportions of the Boston organ, or that in the Tabernacle in Salt Lake. One can judge something however of its size, when he considers that it has seven thousand eight hundred pipes, some of which are thirty feet high. The banks of keys and rows of stops or rather handles are enough in themselves to daunt any but the most experienced performer and one would feel some hesitancy in venturing upon unknown ground for fear he might unchain more tempests than he could command. I was more than pleased with all that 1 had heard, but still I had not been so impressed with the music that I felt as 1 remember a young lady once told me she and her party almost involuntarily did in coming out of the church, imagine there was rain outside' as a necessary consequence of this storm.

Damon. �OCTOBER, 1877. 83 TH E F RIEND, Opium Smuggling. #When the Hawaiian Government passed a law for the good morals of the community und the protection of the subjects of this kingdom, it was naturally to be expected that some evil disposed persons, for the mere love of " filthy lucre," would endeavor to evade the law, by smuggling. We should suppose such persons had found their attempts somewhat hazardous to both their pockets and reputation. It has been found that persons detected in this violation of law, have been most fearfully ashamed of their conduct and were ready to pay almost any sum of money if they could escape exposure. We cannot speak for Chinese smugglers, but we know such to have been the fact with those professing to pass as honorable Americans and others. It has been found anything but a reputable business. We have now a suggestion to make, that hereafter all detected in this illegal business, have their names and residences published in the newspapers, as the names of persons are now published in the New York papers, who are regarded as the meanest men, viz: men who have discharged their clerks because they left their employ for a short time to quell the not!! The names of all smugglers are, of course, upon the records of the Police Court, ami should the list be increased, it might be proper to publish them. We also suggest to newspaper editors on the coast, in Osegon and California, that they warn all engaged in the Sandwich Islands trade against smuggling. The chances of success are pretty small.

The Alga or Sea-Mosses.—Of late years, our Island ferns have attracted a good deal of attention, but it was not until lately that any one was found to be a sufficiently pains-taking and devout student of nature, to spend days weeks and months, wandering over our reefs, and along our coral-girt islands, to gather and examine our sea mosses. Such a man has at last appeared, Mr. Evans Chamberlain, compelled in consequence of ill health to forego the practice of professional duties, and literary pursuits, he has undertaken the study of one genus of plants,—the Algae. He has become an enthusiast in this study and finds over one hundred species of sea-mosses, which are exceedingly beautiful. The specimens we have seen are exquisitely delicate and fairy-like, MARINE PORT JOURNAL. OF HONOLULU. S. I. ARRIVALS. Aug. 25—Am lilt Helen W Almy, Wiililonson, 16 days Irom Pan Francisco.

The authorities of the city, and also the English and American clergymen of Geneva, were present. Speeches complimentary to General Grant were made by M. Carteret, President of Geneva, and by several of the principal clergymen." In noticing this important event, we are most naturally led to reflect upon the influence of John Calvin and his opinions and principles, not only upon the religious history of our world during the last three hundred years, but also their influence upon the progress of liberty and the political revolutions throughout the world. The American historian Bancroft and the English historian, Froude, are esteemed the best historical writers of the age. Our readers, we think will peruse with interest, the following extract, from Bancroft, copied from the first volume of his history of the United States: fend the liberties of the Confederation, that all Europe would respect. So much for tha land of John Calvin and lor, the theology that to many call awful. His however waa the truth that maketh free." Rev. (i. S. Abbott, " Watchman." The celebrated Lecturer, Rev.

When were tbey thrown up? There was an hour on Calvary, when the sun muffled up his face at noon, and the rocks wore rent, and then wore thrown up the Alps, oft' which Plymouth Rock was broken." In this connection, we append a sketch of the old Reformer, which we received from our European correspondent some months since : " JOHN CALVIN.

Singular, isn't it, that it should be now occupied by lasting peril." �86 THE FRIEND, OCTOBER, the Sisters ol Charity ? Imagine the Reformer's feelings at this invasion of Catholicism ; then the cemetery where his body lies, but unmarked by any stone. After all it is very little that remains in the way of material souvenirs of one who was the greatest theologiofn of any age. No one ever lived who seemed so desirous of losing his personal individuality in the realization of ideas as he, and it would seem that his wishes had received a fulfillment in the scarcity of objects which are connected with memories of his daily life and in the continual and marked presentation of that irresistible and imperial force and will, which seem still a living power. Of course, as every one knows Calvin was not the founder of the reformation in Geneva. The political and religious storms of generations had prepared the way for this event, and many grand and noble men had a share in its founding; it was left to this timid, shrinking French theologian, passionately devoted to his books and thoughts, to undertake the even more difficult and delicate task of completing that which had already been begun. No one can study the face of Calvin, with its intense lines, its rigid, unyielding features, its almost corpse-like palor, and feel that it is the face of a man to whom life was ever a holiday. So early did great thoughts, incessant study, unbending mental efforts become a part of his every day existence that you look in vain for those tender, care-free, sunny traits, which time and advancing age sometimes leave untouched in faces that have grown grave and earnest, in the midst of trials and struggles. So that in some unexpected moment you catch glimpses of a joyous childhood and youth shining through the after years. In boyhood and youth he was already regarded as possessing remarkable genius, and the Catholic party was not slow to recognize this. But with the force of his tremendous nature, he struggled from the shadows which enveloped him into the clear light of Gospel truth. The history of those early years, his school and University life, his religious change, and his noble stand in the face of opposition are most graphically told by d'Aubigne in his fascinating history. Though entering with an intense interest into the religious questions of the day, he was looking forward to a life of scholarly seclusion, to which his tastes so strongly led him, when one day passing through Geneva, he was addressed by Farel, who in the name of theLord called him to the work in that city. From this time his life became one of almost superhuman effort. At one time victorious, again in exile, attacked on all sides; coming back in triumph; moulding, forming by the energy of his undaunted spirit a people to the high and lofty ideal of his convictions. One reads in amazement the record of the life of this man.Tir rather this all absorbing flame, which seemed to glow and gather strength while the frail and wasting body was scarcely thought of. His house was furnished in the scantiest and plainest manner. Aside from his duties as professor he preached nearly every other day, and often twice on Sundays. Engaged actively in all the affairs of that civic-religious government which he had been the means of founding, and of which he was the virtual chief, visited 1877. the sick and made the city his parish. His correspondence was on an enormous scale, embracing Europe in its grasp, each year appeared one or two theological works. In all the theological and controversial contests in which that time was so prolific he held a foremost position, yielding the field to no man. He ate sparingly, his sleep was short and he permitted himself scarcely any exercise. In judging of the man, it is but fair to study the great actuating principle of his life and work—and this was devotion to his God. He felt that silence was a crime. That he stood in the presence of awful truths and realities, and that as an instrument only was he placed in the midst of a wicked world, to do the bidding of the Almighty. Eternal laws, divine decrees, infinite and unchanging principles, unswerving obedience, shut out from- his view glimpses ot that divine and infinite tenderness, that fatherly.and pitying love, which is equally to be noted in our study of God's word. He walked like some ancient prophet, smiting with his unrelenting scourge that which seemed in anywise unclean, yielding to no earthly voices ; pointing the people to those mountain heights of stern duty and self-victory, which ever loomed before his vision. Under this unique regime, Geneva became the stronghold of the new faith, the very Rome of Protestantism. It became the central point toward which converged all the channels of religious thought, and from which issued increasing streams of influence for all Europe. It became the asylum for the persecuted and exiled. Scotland sent hither her famous JohnKnox. " The Geneva of Calvin was a pulpit and press." Bibles, tracts, theological treatises carried in every direction the new light. Hundreds of young evangelists drew inspiration from the Reformer's lifeand teachings, and passed on the word to other countries. The voice of the reformation was heard in English, in German, in French, in Italian, and in Spanish. Luxury,revelling, intemperance were banished. All theloose and wanton life which had gained such ascendency under the rule of the Catholic Bishops fled in dismay before this new and unyielding purity. We see a city of the most severe and heroic cast, living under a sway where religion and that too of the strickest type, was ever uppermost. Each man lived in the constant presence of a life to come. Each family and individual were under the watchful and guardian eye of their appointed leaders. Music, cards and dancing were forbidden. The laws regulated minutely the dress and apparel of each class of citizens. All ornament in gold or silver, all fashionable or excessive dress were laid aside. Profanity, impurity and looseness of life found severest punishment. Only those games calculated to streogthen the body and inspire a military spirit were authorized. The day commenced at five in the morning. The majority of the citizens first repaired to the church. In the afternoon the shops were closed and their owners attended service. The most severe and careful frugality was manifested in the family life; servants ate with their masters and in this city by Lake Leman we see a return to an almost Spartan simplicity of life. But all these restrictions seemed but to give new vigor to life and action. The city grew from year to year; Surely no time bas seen more splendid activity of thought and endeavor. A College and Academy arose, with their professors and faculties. But it is enough in the opinion of some to mention the name of Servetus to dissipate all Year after thougjy of what Calvin achieved. year tils most painful subject is brought up and men seem to enjoy taking the opportunity thus afforded them of lushing the memory of the reformer. That Calvin in this matter lacked the gentleness and humanity which should have characterized him, I think his most ardent admirers will confess. For years Servetus and he sustained a fierce contest in reference to theological differences, which was marked by anything but a charitable spirit. Servetus waa a man of decided ability and scrupled not to show opinions. While we would not exculpate Calvin from bis fault in the stand which he took toward him, it cannot be denied that Servetus was a most trying and unpleasant opponent. In those days men threw themselves with a wild and terrible energy into all these theological contests. They regarded those that differed from them, as possessed of the most deadly sin, and launched denunciation and invective and insult on tbem pro- portionately. One now regards with amazement the libraries of this belligerent literature which sprung up on subjects, which a wise and charitable spirit would have far more easily settled. The glare of burning faggots and the red axe of the executioner are a sad commentary on that spirit of fanaticism which in the name of religion sought to establish its claims. The world is learning that a surer wav to win men and advance truth is to unfurl that banner on which is written Love." It is do defense to Calvin to " say that he acted as was customary in that age, but it may be an explanation. Burdened with the might of his great purpose, every voice raised against it was that of an enemy. Hia greatness had its faults, and in all this matter be should be justly censured, so far as he forgot that Christian spirit which should have actuated him. The sad and painful tragedy which gives the spot where Servetus was burned, a melancholy interest, will always stand as a witness that no one should be regarded as above the possibility of failure while acting from human promptings. On the other hand the life and magnificent labors of Calvin should not be quite too common, through ibe smoke of these burning faggots. These should Dc studied in their proper place, and we are sure that no one can come away Irom this study without a lively sense of the greatness and earnest purpose ot this man, who sought not his own but God's glory.

We welcome an article in a recent number of the Maile Wreath suggesting the matter of cruelty to animals in this country. We are sure that no one can go about much in the Islands without noticing and being pained at the very general indifference which exists in jegard to the rights of the dumb creatures which are our servants. The evil takes various forms, amongst which may be mentioned cruelly beating, overloading, overdriving and underfeeding animals ; driving galled and disabled animals ; bleeding calves; the use of tight check-reins; neglect to provide water for cattle ; cruelty in the transportation of live animals and fowls to market. Besides positive abuse from thoughtless and quick-tempered men and boys a great amount of suffering is caused to poor beasts by neglect. Horses which have served their time and used up their strength are turned out to pick up such meager sustenance as they can find by the roadside or in themarshes. We recently observed a poor old skeleton of a horse standing" half dead on a little ridge of land in one the of Waikiki marshes. Three days after we /gain saw him in the same spot and attitude, evidently waiting patiently for death to put an end to his starvation. A few days later he had tumbled over into the ditch and ended his misery. Now such a state of things is a stain on the community. Its influence on the children is ruinous. It leads to the deadening of all moral sense and the disregard of our highest faculties. How shall it be remedied ? If we mistake not there is a tolerably inclusive law on the subject. But it has fallen into sad neglect if not into disuse. A first and long step in the right direction would be taken if the authorities would see that the law is enforced. But however well executed the law cannot reach the real root of the difficulty. What is most needed is a Society, backed by the law which shall keep the matter before the people and create a public sentiment against all abuse and neglect ; which shall seek to reach the children and educate them to true ideas of the rights of animals; which shall invite the cooperation of ministers and teachers and stimulate thought and expression through the pulpit and press of the country; and which shall have agents in the different parts of the different Islands, whose business it shall be to investigate cases and bring offenders to jus- tice. We have had the privilege of observing the workings of such a society established in Massachusetts some seven or eight years ago. Its complete success has demonstrated its necessity and its practicability. To give an idea of its method of work we epitomize its report for one year : The society published 12,000 copies of an essay on stock transportation ; 30,000 essays on the check-rein ; 50.000 small tracts, distributed a< Agricultural Fairs, Sec.; 130,000 copies of its paper Our Dumb Animals ; 6,000 copies of the statute on cruelty to animals; several hundred circulars on robbing bird's nests, shooting-matches, and to butchers and drovers in regard to shelter for cattle; 1,000 essays on horseshoeing were sent to the black-smiths of the State ; 200 prizes were distributed to scholars of Boston schools for compositions on "kindness to animals." An agent was employed to travel over railroads in New England west to Chicago, investigating stocktransportation and slaughtering; an animals' home was established; check-rein signs were erected at the foot of steep hills; drinking troughs were located at several points; hundreds of old and disabled horses were killed, hundreds of others were withdrawn from work. Three hundred persons were prosecuted for cruelty to animals, and more than two thousand cases investigated; a national law was secured in Congress to prevent cruelties in the transportation of cattle; and several other States were induced to pass laws and form societies. Is not this a splendid record and could not much of the same kind of work be done here ? We hope to see the matter agitated. Through the kindness of Mr. Derby, the Y. M. C. A. has held two Sabbnth vesper services in the circus tent on the Esplanade during the past month. The first, on the evening of Sept. 2d, was very fully attended. The music was led by the Band and was of itself an educating and elevating influence. The attendance on the second evening was somewhat smaller, owing in part, no doubt, to the fact that but short notice was given. The design of these meetings is to reach a class who do not ordinarily attend divine' service. One man was heard to remark that he had not been inside a church for over three years, but he would give five dollars toward the expense of repeating the tent service. This looks as though the design was being accomplished. We earnestly request those who ordinarily do attend church to go to their usual places on the evenings of the tent service. It is especially for those who do not attend elsewhere, and the only evil thus far observed as springing from it is the depopulation of other churches. Another service will be held during the next moon. The Tenth Annual Convention of the Y. M. C. Associations of Canada was held in the city of Quebec on Sept. 13th, 14th, loth and 16th. The topics assigned and freely discussed were of an unusually practical and suggestive character. Ist.

If the Reciprocity Treaty should be abrogated by an English embroglio isf treaty negotiations, the fires of the furnace would be put out and the trip hammer would cease to chime to the busy hum of industry and profit. We should imagine Englishmen and Germans would be the loudest in their advocacy of Reciprocity. Loss of the Bark Java.—We have met with one of the crew of this vessel, which was wrecked June 7th near Fox Islands in Bherings' Sea. She had taken four whales and was " trying out," when she was stove by a cake of ice. The crew escaped on board the bark Eliza, and subsequently distributed among the other ships. Our informant was taken to San Francisco on the Jennie Pitts. So far as we can learn, out of the whole company of sixty men left last year in the Arctic, only two have survived. These were two kanakas, one Hawaiian and one Tahitian, who were sheltered among the Indians. 89 {■(©l* Series, M U. RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 10 Elberfeld, Germany, > Aug. 21st, 1877. S You see I am still in Elberfeld. As I wrote you in my last, at this season of the year I find it far more pleasant to be comfortably and "coolly " settled than rushing around in hot cities. A splendid thunder storm, with abundant ruin, has cooled the air and lifted somewhat the heavy atmosphere which has hung over the city for some days past, and rendered every one exceedingly hot and tired. For a summer, this has, on the whole, been very cool and agreeable, and we have had really nothing to speak of in the way of heat till of late. I had always supposed a cty in the summer must be quite intolerable, but this German town, with its surroundings of fields and beautiful woods, orchards and gardens, is almost always fresh and cool. We are just through the week of anniversaries here, which correspond to our meeting of the American Board or the May meetings in England. Here they continue one whole week, from Sunday to Sunday,—several different services taking place each day. A large number of clergyman from all parts of Germany have been present, and the "crowds at some of the meetings have been tremendous. One unique feature, especially striking to an American, is the " Coffee Meetings." There have been a number of these. One of them 1 attended at " Vereins-haus," in Barmen. There must have been from 800 to 1000 persons present. Long tables were spread in the large hall and in the gallery. Nearly every seat was taken. Coffee and currant-bread " and butter in abundance "were served, and every one partook most heartily. Every now and then there was a speech from some clergyman, layman or missionary, when people would pause and give their attention. The gentlemen, if they were so inclined, would quietly smoke, and the ladies as quietly knit. It would take an Englishman, or an American, some time to accustom himself to these decidedly Teutonic usages. It is rather startling at least at a religious gathering, to see a dignified ecclesiastic take out his cigar and commence leisurely to puff away at it. But here they seem to think nothing at all of it, but regard it as the most natural thing in the world to �THE FRIEND, 90 do. And on Sundays, at one or two gatherings, it was just the same. But you will understand, these were rather the social and informal gatherings, and of course never in churches. There it was quite another thing. The singing of the great congregations with the large organ, was, something very fine, and every one joined. It was almost impossible to get a seat. There were all classes of people present, but none seemed to enjoy themselves more than the bright-laced 1877. NOVEMBER, Unterbarmen, General Church Conference.

Assembly In tbe small ball of the Evangelixriety House at Barmen. uradaj, Aug. 16th, 9a. in the Church at t m. This magnificent structure. We give a description of it in the words of another ; " Cathedrals have their individual characteristics as truly as their builders. The peculiarity of this one consists in having a kind of out-work of slender columns, arches, and inclosed niches, thrown like a vail of barred muslin over the front. In some places it nearly conceals the background of cathedral wall, apd holds the eye in its entanglement of beauty. Especially when the westering sun casts the shadows'of this projected out-work upon the main wall it seems doubled, and the real wall almost hidden. When one considers that this kind of work is carried up four hundred and sixty-six feet, the light, graceful, airy effect that is produced must be confessed to be indescribable. Into this delicate tracery crashed the shells and balls of the Germans in 1870. Its effects can be imagined. You can stand in one spot and count where thirty shells struck the spire. They tore into this slender drapery; they crashed through its gorgeous windows; they smote interior columns, leaving great ugly scars that time cannot heal. One made wild music in the organ, never intended by the builder; and on the night of August 25, the roof over the vast church took fire. Streams of melted copper poured down the gutters, and spires of flame leaped up to vie with the tallest spire of stone, man has ever erected. The flames ceased only when there was nothing more to burn. Still the French maintained a post of observation in the spire, and still the Germans rained their shells upon it. The very cross on the apex was hit, and saved from falling only The general effect is aiuch less than might be expected. A careless observer might hardly notice any effect of the bombardment. The open work let the shells pass in to the solid stone and out again. You see, far up, part of a battlenrent gone, " a pillar replaced by brick-work, and some light scantling where stone ought to be. To be sure, the roof is not yet replaced, but this is hardly noticeable from the ground, as the solid arches over the church were not affected by the destruction of the roof. The building teems with workmen, and soon most of tha marks of war will be seen only by bright new stones that take the place of those in- jured. " This magnificent structure has seen many perils nnd survived them all. It has been shaken by four earthquakes, struck by lightning, and more or less thrown down nine times—has been ravaged by fire five times—endured the Jacobin fury in 1793, tearing down two hundred and thirty-seven of the statues, and proposing to treat its lofty spire as they treated the column in the Place Vendome in Paris eighty years later. But it stands in such wondrous perfection as to make one see the propriety of comparing God's spiritual work to a temple. Begun long ago, it is not yet finished—room enough for new stones ; and none of it old. " it stands where the Celts once had a Druidical forest, and .offered human victims. The Romans built on the spot a temple to Hercules and Mars. One of the statues of the former still decorates the present building. Since 510 the site has been occupied by a Christian church. About 1015, one of those spasms of sacrisTCe seized the country, and from one to two thousand men toiled at the erection of this cathedral—not for pay but for the salvation of their souls. Grander than sculptured frieze, lofty column, grand facade, and pinnacled spire, is the fact connected with nearly all these old cathedrals, that men toiled at their deep foundations, cut the hard stone into beauty, and lifted it into its place for the good of their souls, for the joy of sacrifice. It sweetens much of the taint of blood that so deeply stains those ages, " It is hard at first to reconcile one's ideas of a church with the multitude of possible and impossible animals that these old builders scattered over their structures. You may stand either on the north or south side and count, without moving, over thirty huge animals, with heads of bulls, dogs, bats, gnome, and fiends, put on the most ir*o»nceivable bodies, and projecting two or three feet, to serve as ornaments and water-spouts. Some tear their jaws open with their hands, to let the water run out; others are doubled up with a perpetual belly-ache; others, again, have such Bn evident nausea, that a stream from the mouth is the most natural thing to be expected. They gruv leer, cock their heads one side, and setfced to roar with pain day and night, century by century. Gothic seems to be the right word to apply to this style. But these old builders believed that imps thronged the churches, so they set them to service, always on the outside—made by the Jightning-rpd. They say the build- them bearers of water—set them to do menial ing wr* struck by two hundred and fifty work. But that grim humor, that ran alshells. most wild in producing quaint images, could. ' �91 THE FRIEND, NOVEMBER, 1877.curb itself to carving the holy exaltation of an angel's face, or the tender sweetness of a child's. " Something is needed for variety, where such an immense number of human statues are introduced. Eighteen equestrian statues will be needed to fill the niches on the front. A single portal has fifteen life-size statues (of from two to five figures) twenty inches high, and so admirably done that the Scripture scenes they represent are recognizable at once ; besides ninety-six figures cut in basrelief. In addition to all this statue-work, the pedestals, canopies, little animals, not over three inches long, and arabesque work, fine as a worsted thread, are too wonderful for description. Nothing short of a study should be given to these grand results of human thought and toil. All the best work, thought, feeling, and love of centuries crystallized in :'iese glorious piles. What seems but a maze of meaningless marbles at first glance, marches out as the whole story of sin, redemption, and final glory, to him who patiently lingers to study and feel. These men were earnest, and full of the sublime gospel that they put into stone. Few in those ages could read the printed page ; but written in stone, the one object that towered toward heaven, the first the sun kissed in the morning, and the last on which he smiled at night, every untaught peasant could read " that sweet story of old." And because we have learned other languages, and have other pages to read, is no reason why we should be blind to what men felt in their hearts, slowly cut into stone, and set up to endure. There is often more power to stir feeling in a stone than in a page. Each truly holds, and yet utters what feeling was put into it. The very gates nnd stones of Jerusalem were precious to God and his people. So is every stone over which a human heart has brooded, till it has been warmed into life, and made to talce the heart's meaning. How much more where millions have been builded into shapes of beauty and power." P. S. The war still goes on at the East, the Russians are winning in the main. Everythtng is quiet in this part of Europe. It is impossible now to say, what will be the political state of affairs among the Great Powers, certainly it will be very strange, if the Russo-Turkish war is concluded without the assistance or cooperation of some other nations. It remains to be seen what course F. W. Damon. things will take. Capt. Gifford, of the American whaler Young Phenix, who befriended the survivors of the wrecked British emigrant ship Strathmore in the Pacific Ocean, is to receive, through Minister Pierrepont, a gold watch from them in recognition of the service rendered. Island Tourists in Oregon. In reading the journal of the Rev. Alexander Mackintosh, as published in the Ad' vertiser of Oct. 20ih, we were forcibly reminded of a trip, which we made to Oregon and California, in 1849, over twenty-eight years ago. Sketches of our visit were published in the Friend of that year, under the title of " A Trip from the Sandwich Islands, to Lower Oregon and Upper California." It was our privilege to go, as the guest of Capt. D. Wood, commanding the U. S. Store ship Massachusetts. This was the first propeller in the Pacific, having originally been built under (he special supervision of Ericson, the inventor. She was coveying U. S. troops to Oregon, from around Cape Horn. In the October number of the Friend, for 1849, we find our notice of Portland runs as follows, and we think our readers wil be interested in the contrast as here presented between Portland, in 1849 and 1877: PORTLAND, OREGON, " Portland. —Arrived at 1849. Portland about 12 o'clock last night, May 15, in company with Judge Bryant, the newly appointed Territorial Judge and Capt. Crosby. We were rowed in a small ship's boat from Vancouver, about twenty miles, by four Indians, and having a strong current against us, our progress was slow. On waking this morning, looked out upon the rising town of Portland, situated fourteen miles above the junction of the Williamettsf with the Columbia. The town is handsomely laid out on the east side of the fiver, and is well situated, having in the rear an extensive forest and beyond that forest, at the distance of fifteen or twenty miles, a beautiful farming country. The first settlement here was made in the autumn of 1845, by Capt. Crosby and Mr. Stark, the former, master, and the latter, supercargo of the barque Toxdon. Ttteir first building was a log-store, which is now standing; between twenty and thirty buildings have since been erected, and others are in progress. Thehouse built by Capt. Crosby is an excellent dwelling house, and cost 85,000, and at the present time the premises are valued at $10,000. The buildings, including store and a dwelling house, erected by Mr. Pettegrove are substantial, and do credit to the place. The number of inhabitants in Portland is now about one hundred. The site of the town is admirably selected, being well adapted to the landing and discharging of vessels. I find but one vessel in port, the O. C. Raymond, undergoing repairs, and belonging to Capt. Crosby. This vessel is engsged in the lumber trade with California, and must be doing a good business, enabling the owner to pay the master $300, the mate $200, and the seamen $100 per month."— Rev. S. C. Damon, Friend, One of the most hearty and efficient helpers at the Clear Lake Sunday School Assembly was Dr. E. Corwin, of Jacksonville, 111. He spent a fortnight at the Lake, throwing himself with characteristic enthusiasm into the work, preaching, lecturing, and taking a leading part in the daily normal class instruction.— Exchange paper. Oct. 15, 1845. PORTLAND, OREGON, IN 1877. Portland is on both banks of the Willamette River, a tributary of tbe Columbia, and is about 105 miles from Astoria ; it has a population of about 15,000 inhabitants. A ferry boat, which runs perpetually, connects East Portland with Portland proper. The whole country within range of our vision is bounded by a densely wooded circumference. Outside this circle tho snow-capped mountains called Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helens, Mt. Adams and Mt. Jepberson, lift up their lofty heads, but they are only visible now and then, owing to the dense smoke caused by the burning woods. Through the centre of tbe circle flows the river Willamette. On tho right bank Portland rises as it were in terraces, the streets forming the meridians and parallels of latitude of tffe sphere. Every block ol buildings and of building land is most regularly laid out. One has only to remember the name of the latitudinal and meridian streets, and then the way is easily lound without tbe aid of compass, sextant, chronometer or policeman. The only difficulty one finds in navigation, is th rareity of the street names being posted upon tbe walls—but this no doubt is little felt by the citizens. Very few of tbe old residents seem to know the Btreets by tbeir names. People are directed by tbe presence or absence of a church, or of some government building. Front Street lies along the bank of tbe River Willamette, and goes from one end of the town to the other. In this street are situated all the principal wholesale business bouses, among which a resident of Honolulu can recognize some familiar names. Corbitt and Macleay, Allen and Lewis, McCrukcn & Co. tfUawmian Consul.) Jiinian & Co. The traffic busy street is ceaseless; it would astonish our quiet Honolulu merchants. They would, I should think, imagine that it was perpetually steamer day, and even this thought would give them but faint idea ol the business. In fact, there in very little difference between this street and also the next, which is called First Street, and any Thames Street, Blackwall, Lime St. or Broadway in tbe world. To give just one c»» ample of trade which I accidentally learned—tl c average number of eggs per week which aie brought into tbe wholesale house from tbe country is twenty thousand dozen, and not unfitquently the number daily is live thousand dozen ; not that this firm is solely in the egg line, seeing that in one year, the samo firm shipped to foreign parts eighteen cargoes of wheat valued at one million and a half dollars gold, and the money turned over in one year by this said firm was two and three-quarter millions of dollars. Throughout the length of Front Street can are constantly moving up and down. In First Street are the principal retail stores, and these are truly magnificent. However, there is not much difference between the merchandize, sold in these grand buildings and that in Honolulu either in force or quality. Then the public buildings, tbe Banks, the Custom House, tbe Post Office, tbe Prison are all of beautiful stone. There are lour banks: The British Columbia; Ladd and Tilton; First National Gold Bank; and the Oregon Saving's Bank—the last named deriving the stock principally from Scotland. Second and Third Streets, together with the streets wbieb intersect them, are taken up with stores, both wholesale and retail. Along Fourth Street runs tbe Railway wbicb extends about thirty miles into tbe country, as far as Grove. From tbis street until the town rises Into tbe hills, tbe streets are paved with wood, the sidewalks being also of wood. And now begins tbe prettiest and most picturesque part of tbe town. Every one seems to vie with his neighbor aa to who shall have the neatest and most beautiful residence. Tbe one acre lots are very often wholly taken up with one bouseand its surroundings. —ifto. A.

Although we read and re-read Mr. Cook's Lectures as published in the Boston Advertiser, yet we are exceedingly glad to welcome the same in a neatly and compactly printed volume, still damp from the printer's office. This book was printed on the last days of September, and we received a copy by the steamer's mnil, Oct. 18th, hence our readers* may infer that Honolulu is ftot very far away from Boston, the " Hub of the Universe." There is something exceedingly fresh and about the Lectures of Mr. Cook, inded '• to present the results of the freshest rnian, English nnd American scholarship on the most important and difficult topics concerning the relation of Religion and Science." Mr. Cook advances into the arena of discussion without apology and takes his stand beside Huxley, Tyndall, Darwin and the great army of doubters and sceptics, and says : " Come, now, let us reason together." He asks no favors, buAH ready to give and take as hard blows ns»sß nature of the discussion demands. We are glad there is one youthful David, with " sling and smooth stones," who fears not the Giants who have been stalking about frightening timid believers in Divine RevelaTion, Miracles, God and Immortality. The time has come when Christian Philosophers and Divines have no business to skulk and apologize ! It is equally refreshing to con- tezy template George Muller,—physically, mentally and spiritually—grandly endowed,— step upon the shores of America and declare : During fifty-two years I have known the Lord Jesus Christ, whenever I have believed, I have received. During the past fifty-two years I have received a thousand, yes, ten thousand answers to my prayers." Such declarations are truly Pauline : "I know in whom I have believed." We regard Muller, Cook and Moody as three great and mighty forces now operating upon the American mind and the world's spiritual agencies. A better time is coming, although the conflict will be sharp and fierce, even as that now witnessed on the bloody battle-field of Bulgaria and around Plevna. Victory is inscribed upon the Banner of Truth. Mr. Cook has already commenced another course of Lectures, and they will appear first in the Boston Advertiser and will be extensively copied in other papers. We commend them to the attention of our " readers. We would acknowledge papers for gratuitous distribution from Judge Judd and Mrs. Dickson. Also, from Mr. W. Wright, of Koloa, a valuable donation of books. NOVEMBER, 1877. H. M. Whitney, Esq.—The onward march A Man of One Idea. of improvement is removing certain old This man is the Rev.

To render intelligible an extract from a letter recently received from a correspondent in Liverpool, we republish the following item from our May number: Captain Cook's Vessel.—That the Brotherly Love, the vessel on board of which the great circumnavigator, and discoverer of New South Wales and Victoria, Captain Cook, served his time and obtained his certificate as mate, should be at this time, after the lapse of upwards of a century, going on her accustomed voyages, must appear wonderful to every one—but peculiarly interesting to the colonists of the continent whose unbounded resources, through Cook's scientific genius, were opened to the world. Yet, there is the fact, that only the other day, this fine old vessel, amidst the admiration of numbers who-witnessed her departure, left South Shields for one of the ports on the Baltic. With the exception of Nelson's ship, the Victory, there surely cannot be any vessel afloat of such historic interest. This grand old hulk ought, if not preserved as a great maritime relic by the British nation, to be floating in the New World, in the beautiful harbor of Port Jackson, at Sydney. Sydney Herald. — NOVEMBER. " 1 am no stranger to your excellent paper the Friend, which, through the kindness ot my friend Mr. Geo. Legge of Messrs. Balfour tt Williamson's Home, I generally get a look at every month. In a recent issue you give an extract from a Sydney paper regarding the ship Brotherly Love, rendered notable as being the vessel in which the famous Captain Cook learned his first rudiments of seamanship. Feeling interested in that statement, I wrote to the owner of the Brotherly Love, and sent him your paper, which he read with much satisfaction and returned, accompanied with a pleasant letter and a photograph of the good old ship. She stands in Lloyd's book thus: 'Jirotherly Love, bjig of Shields, built in Ipswich, 1764, 1214 tons; owner, James Young, South Shields.' 1 have much pleasure in enclosing the picture and a copy of Mr. Young's letter; they may prove interesting to some in your far away isle of the sea. The Sydney paper says something about the propriety of having the Brotherly Lore, sent out to Australia as a memento of Captain Cook. How would it do, after having spent her 113 years in their stormy latitudes to have her sailing in Hawaiian waters? Surely the place where the gallant navigator met with his untimely death, (permit me to repent the words of his excellent first lieutenant, King, on finishing his account of the tragedy— ' Thus perished our great, our honored commander'!) would be more in keeping with his memory than any spot in Australia. * * # # # " I send you a copy of the letter from Jas. owner of the Brotherly Love: Young, Esq., " ' Dear sir: lam much obliged by your sending me the Honolulu paper for perusal. The old ship still goes on her way rejoicing, in good order. Her qualities as a sea boat we may expect has saved her weathering many a storm. The only fear at sea with her is being run down by S. S. (screw ajaamers).' Martin .Robinson. ' "Yours, Sec., "6 Hope Place, Liverpool, Aug. 30, 1877." N. B.—We would acknowledge a photograph of the Brotherly Love, which may be seen in Whitney's book-store. (For tbe friend] Christian Sympathy. BY REV. D. DOLE. ■ Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ." The law of Christ is love. "A new commandment I give you that ye love one another." " I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you." Now the Lord Jesus, our great high priest, can and does sympathize in our infirmities. Sympathize is the very word used in the Greek. (Heb. 4:15). Peter exhorts, " Be ye all of otic mind, nym- 1877. pathizing one with another." (1 Pet. 3:8). When love is in exercise in the htorts of Christians, when every succeeding day brings a new experience of the faithfulness and loving kindness of their heavenly Father, and every succeeding night marks an advance in the pilgrimage towards the celestial city, then sympathy is easy. Then they that fear the Lord speuk often one to another. Then with the Psalmist, they delight to make the praise of their heavenly Father glorious, and to tell what he has done for their souls. (Ps. 66 : 2 and 16). Then with tender sympathy they find out the discouragements and perplexities, the conflicts and the triumphs, the sorrows and the joys of fellow pilgrims and strengthen them with kind words, rejoicing wilh them lhat rejoice and sharing the sorrows of the sorrowful. Thus do they bear one another's burden. But in seasons of declension, when worldliness invades the church, and the love of many waxes cold, and church members, speaking out of the abundance of the heart, cease to speak of heavenly things, and their prayers lose their fervency, and the word of Cod is no longer their study and meditation, and salvation seems of little importance, ilicn is Christian sympathy well nigh extinct. Young disciples are left to get along as best they may. If any of them are prisoners in doubting castle, no one knows it. Consequently there is no one to point them to the key of promise, by which they may unfasten the locks and make their escape. If any of them become discouraged through many temptations, there is no one to find it out, and to point them to the Lord Jesus, who was in like manner tempted, who tenderly sympathizes with all his tempted followers, and who succors all who apply to him. In this state of things it is not to-be expected that efforts will be made to win to Christ those who are without hope and without God in the world. There are none to say to those in the broad way as Moses said to his father-in-law, " Come with us, and we will do you good; fo»the Lord hath spoken good concerning Israel." Does this language apply to the people of Honolulu ? A young merchant came to town, took a seat in one of the churches, and there he appeared regularly Sabbath after Sabbath for months, yet during all this time, no one bid him welcome; no one enquired after his spiritual condition. Was it strange that the conviction forced itself upon his mind that no one cared for his soul? To be able to exercise Christian sympathy one must be in sympathy with the Lord Jesus; must feel his constraining love, and to that influence. He that loves the ord Jesus will love his image wherever it is discovered; and more than this, he will love those whom the Lord Jesus loves, and for whom he died. This is Christian sympathy, and it is not a latent power. It manifests itself in kind words and in self-denying works. It is the spirit of Christ acted out; " and if any one have not the spirit of Christ, he is none of his." Lield �FRIEND, TO THE PUBLIC! AaPy-BRTISBsMsBMrTB. . M.

M, C. A, The Hymn of Faith. BY MISS M. G. BRAINARD. 1 know not what will befall; Ood hangs a mist o'er my eyes. And before each step of my onward path He causes new scenes to rise; And each Joy that he sends me, comes As a glad and sweet surprise. I see not a step before me, As I tread out the days of the year, Bui.the past Is still in God's keeping, The futurehia mercy will clear; And what seems dark In the distance* May brighten as 1 draw near. For, perchance, the dreadful future Has less bitter than I think; The Lord may sweeten the waters Before I stoop to drink; Or If Marah must be Maralt, He will stand beside its brink. • It may be, he has waiting For the coming of my feet, Borne gift of such rare blessedness, Borne joy so strangely sweet. That my lips can only tremble With tbe thanks I cannot speak. Oh, blissful, peaceful ignorance. It's blessed not to know; It keeps me quiet In those arms Which will not let me go; And hushes my soul to rest On the bosom which loves me so. So I go on, not knowing— I would not if I might— I would rather walk with God in the dark Thanwalk alone In the light; I would rather walk with him by faith Than walk alone by sight. My heart shrinks back from trials Which tbe futuremay disclose; Yet I never had a sorrow But what the dear Lord chose; 80 I press back the coming tears. With the whispered words, "He knows." [Selected for the Friend.] Prayer. There is no real harm, but prayer will aid us to escape. There is no real good, but prayer will aid us to secure. There is no' burden in life, that prayer will not bring us new strength to bear. There is no temptation that ever assails us, but prayer will give us new power to resist. Prayer aids us in our perplexities, and gives us strength to rise above depression. There is no dark cloud lowering over the future, but prayer will enable us to look above and beyond it. Christian experience in all ages of the world testifies like the voice of many waters, that prayer intensifies every blessing and lightens every burden; it scatters our fears and transfigures our sorrows ; it invigorates in us all that is good, and weakens whatever is bad ; it helps to understand ourselves and God, and to live in joyous peace with both and in jubilant readiness for Heaven.— Congregationalist.

What is God ? men asked. The Stoics answered and said : God is the impersonal soul of the universe. God is everything, and everything is God. Matter is divine. The soul is but more etheral matter. Stones and mountains, trees and animals, men and women are but manifestations of the diety. The universe itself is only a period in the development of God. All things are as they are by inseperable necessity. Storms must blow on until they exhaust themselves, and if you are caught in them there can be nothing for you but to take your chance. The only support for life is a granite will. Indifference is religion. Pleasure is no good ; pain is no evil. The noblest man is he who dwells apart, in sublime apathy, unmoved by any change, unstirred by any passion t asking no assistance, wasting no sympathy, gazing from an iron earth toward a brazen . heaven. 1 have seen another picture. It is called Christus Consolator. Christ is seated on a throne. He is Lord of all. Before him are gathered the outcast and. miserable of the world. The aged man bent beneath the burden of a century, the sick man wasting with slow disease, the slave lifting hands heavy with chains, the mother weeping above her dead babe—all these are there ; and over all the Savior's hands are lifted and he is speaking heed and care and help for all. It is such a God men need—the God made maifest in Jesus Christ. Prayer into his heart is mightily real. There is shining hope amid the densest darkness since God is such a God. t In the States, especially in New England, the Y. M. C.

We really have no space left for moral reflections on the closing of the year or the flight of time. As we have furnished our subscribers with twelve numbers of our paper, in order that we may pay our printer and discharge all liabilities incurred in its publication, we trust our subscribers and friends will see the importance of making prompt payment when their bills are presented. If any error or mistake appears, the same will be rectified by making it known to the publisher. —As we have not received our usual donations from the whaling fleet, we hope persons favorably disposed to the publication and .gratuitous distribution of the Friend will not forget that five hundred copies of each number are distributed gratuitously. Donations thankfully received. For several months we have been expecting that some of our English residents would take the initiative for a centennial celebration, if the government officials did not move in the matter. It really seems quite too bad, too unpatriotic, too stupid,—to allow so good an opportunity to pass without a respectable demonstration. Less than two months remain,—for January 18th, 1778, is the day when Cook is reported to have discovered these islands. Who will move in this matter? To compare great things with small, the ISth of January is also memorable for another event of minor importance. On the ISth of January, 1843, thirty-five years ago, the first number of the Frienp made its appearance, and has continued its monthly reappearance ever since. Me.

Dear Friend.—The French, you know, say, " gui s'excuse s'accuse," so that perhaps it will be wiser for me not to attempt any line of defense for my meagre cpistolatory correspondence this summer but creep instead under the folds of your broad mantle of charity, finding balm for my conscience in the thought that you have found something far better than my rambling and random sketches for your columns. I am afraid that something of the " dolce far niente " of midsummer days must have had its effect upon me, for how otherwise could I have delayed telling you of my drifting from among Swiss scenes, and the presence of its snowy uplands and blue lakes, to this fair and fertile region which cradles the Rhine? And what a summer this has been for this world of ours, which seems *o find wars and rumors of wars its perpetual heritage ! With you, though a little nearer the scene of action, we have been watching the sad, bloody conflict which darkens all the eastern horizon and which seems to grow darker and more bloody as the summer gives place to autumn, and the first frost and chill in the air hint at the added Wretchedness and anguish which must come to those on the wild, bleak battle-fields, unless peace comes with the early snows Then too, how wanly and beseechingly have all those countless famine-stricken faces in India been looking to us out of their dreadful and terrible need ! And it is a pleasure to see how nobly hearts, both in England and the Continent, have been touched by this human agony. We are watching with intenstest interest to see whether them is anything to come of that thunder-cloud which seems to have been gathering over Our next-door neighbors, the French, who are craving far a new sensation and revolution! Perhaps however the political tempest will vanish as the heat and muttering thunder from our autumn skies. What a superb tribute the French paid to the memory of the veteran Theirs, the other day. Rarely does such a tremendous throng follow a man to his tomb. A troublesome and annoying state of affairs also the American people have been meeting with, in their riots and strikes, which I trust have now been quietly adjusted. But really it is hardly my province in yoqr columns, �98 THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, to enter into the politics and troubles of the and one earth at laige, and in leaving them I most them to additions to modern travel permit leave at all.

This wonderful Strasbourg spire! What pigmies seem the men and women below! You feel indeed 'twixt heaven and earth, and yet far above this tower where we are standing there are heights which we have not gained. The round red sun is too near its dipping in the hazy west for us to try them to-night. There is a terrible fascination about the downward look, down, down, down ! And there is only this little stone parapet between us and the fearful leap! Something of the same indescribable spirit which leads you on to the brink at Miagara, and draws you towards its gulfs of snowy foam and shattered rainbows, or holds you spell-bound on the near edge of the fiery, terrible surge of our Kilauea, keeps you here. Would the stone apostles, the winged angels or Gothic sculptures reach out helping hands in the whirling, murderous fall ? One could scarcely find a more fitting spot for the scene of the prologue of Longfellow's "Golaen Legend." Imagine these airy heights, wind-swept and storm-lashed, with Lucifer and his legions in their wild fury, hurrying on to their work. "Haalen! Ilaaten! ye apirita! Kium ita atatlon drag the ponderous I'm." "I ii,-n, that to mock ua li uplifted liian In air! O " But I must be on my way leaving behind the city where Goethe so long studied, where Calvin found his wife, the seat of innumerable important events in history; the capital of those fair provinces which one always thinks of now-a-days in the guise of two sad-eyed peasant girls, whose hearts are still with " la belle France," Alsace and Lorraine. BLACK FOREST. What a world of witchery there is in the very sound of the words " Black Forest." Don't they make you long for the days when you read of dwarfs and giants and spirits, good and evil, of phantom steeds and huntsmen, that some how or other seemed to find a congenial home in these woods which lie so invitingly on the horizon in the gathering, mysterious gloom of the long twilight. It would have been a pleasure to have dived into them, but one can't see every thing, and this was not in my plan just then. 1 wonder if one would be disappointed; I can't think so. There seems too genuine a fragrance in tnese old German legends and fairy stories; you can almost hear the wind in the trees, and scent the perfume of the pines and catch glimpses of cool, shadowy lakes, whose surface the stars pierce with their silver gleams, and where deer stay for a moment their hurried flight. But the train rushes on and night shuts down on the world of spirits and men as we enter Heidel- berg. HEIDELBERG. This place is charmingly situated on the river Neckar, is rich in historical associations, and is attractive to the tourist, chiefly from its university and its castle, which is certainly a roost imposing and magnificent ruin. With the matins of the birds and the early morning walk to the glorious ivygrown pile, which stands still as a sentinel above the city, faithful to its mediaeval .trust—though scared ap4 maimed—came one of those deljght,fuj surprizes which are �THE FRIEND, DECEMBER, among the rare and beautiful things of travel. Out of my limited European experience there are very few places on this side the Atlantic better worth seeing. The wings of my rather too exuberant imagination have been clipped more than once during the past few months, but here every realization and anticipation has been more than fulfilled. Some one has written of it " next to the Alhambra of Grenada, the most magnificent ruin of the middle ages." I am afraid I shall never see the Alhambra, or hear the murmur of its fountains, except through the medium of Irving's splendid descriptions, but I shall never, never forget the glory of the old " Heidelberg Schloss," its ruin but adding to its perfect beauty, the remembrance of which, will, I trust, live in my thoughts and heart as greenly as does the ivy on its walls. The castle is situated on a wooded height just above the town, and is centuries old. One elector after another added to it, till it acquired huge dimensions. Long ago, the French General Melac had it blown up. And in 1764 the lightning came to complete the ruin. It would seem as if some curse had rested on its battlements. It would scarcely be possible for me in the compass of this letter to attempt a description of it, and I feel as if 1 should be wholly inadequate to do this as it should be done. The immensity of it at first confused me, as I came out of the narrow foot-path which I had followed up to the avenue which runs in its rear, and wandered about at my own sweet will. This led me under the leafysculptured portal or gateway which the elector Frederick Y. caused to be erected in honor of his English wife, the Princess Elizabeth, and into the tree-shadowed garden beyond, the very perfection of a place for dreaming and love-making, then into the great castle-court and over its heavy drawbridge and under its raised port-cullis, and through its huge and massive gateway. Every step of the way has its peculiar charm, and we would slay the sun in his coursa if we could. Before us is the paved and glistening court. How the horses' hoofs must have rung on it, in the brave old days ! There is the Muprechtn-Bau, and there the granite columns from Ingelheim with their memories of Charlemagne, and there the Friedrichs-Bau and there—but what signify names in the presence of all this color and warmth and beauty? Just see how splendidly the golden sunshine illumines the facades of the palaces which face and encircle us and warm the sculptures and statues in their niches, and seems to find a sort of companionship in their rich and varied adornments. This is a terrestrial paradise for painters. I met one, whose Scottish birth had not checked his artistic spirit, and who was, as perhaps some of his stern countrymen might say, well nigh daft in the midst of all this beauty. For the instant, the dullest and most unimpressible of travellers must feel something of the throb of the poet in him at sight of the Tower which the French so cruelly blasted. It was a wickedly mean thing of them to do, but have we not on the whole gained by it ? It stands like some great stone giant, shorn of his strength! Down" in the ravine below fell huge gigantic masses, and the trees and things leaped up to hide their nakedness. They have crept up its sides, softening, embossing with their tangled and verdant growth its crumbling arches, even penetrating to' its stony heart and in its broken and shattered old age, giving it a tenderness and beauty, which its proud and haughty youth never possessed. One needs an Ariadne in this labyrinth, or her silken-clue! Room after room open before you ; long winding passages ; banqueting halls, whose only frescoes are those of the drifting clouds and silver stars on the heavens above them ; under ground passages where waves of ferns and mosses and trailing vines have swept in with the years. Then up to the battlements where the only pennants that wave in the summer air are those which the kindly hand of nature has unfurled, a symbol of the infinite peace which seems to brood over these walls. There are the chapel, the museum with a thousand interesting relics, and after all this splendid vision which is almost intoxicating in its poetry and beauty, it is well to come down to the earth again and visit the cellar and its famous "Tun," for the people who lived in this enchanted palace were of the earth, earthly. Can you imagine 49,000 gallons of wine ? Then 1877. 99 now absent on a tour to Hawaii and Maui. On his return, he hopes to spend some days in Honolulu. Something may be gathered of the efficiency of the Order from the following extracts from a circular published by the Order: " The Grand Lodge of the Independent Order of Good Templars of the State of California, euborilitmte to the Right Worthy Grand Lodge, 1. O. G. T., wan instituted May 29th, 1860, and com- prised at that time eleven subordinate lodges, holding a membership of less than five hundred. Since then by the employment of competent lecturer", printing temperance literature, and other available means, the principles of the Order have extended and been generally embraced, until now the subordinate lodgea within this State oxoeed two hundred in number, and ten thousand in membership. Scarcely a town of importance, or a county within the Suite is without its " Lodge of Good Templars." The Grand Lodge of California has special jurisdiction also over the State of Nevada, and (he Territories of Utah and Arizona, as also the Sandwich Islands, in each of which Lodges of the Order have been established and are now working.

This is a juvenile institution recently formed lor the benefit of the children of our land, and is directly under the patronage of the Grand Lodge. enclose it all in a cask, which is more like some bloated monster than anything else, and you have the Tun on which everybody mounts by ladder. To obtain an idea of its size, consider its dimensions, 32 feet long, and 22 feet high, holding 800 hogsheads. The circumference around the centre is 231 feet, and the diameter of the head 22 feet. In my delight, lam keeping you very, very long over the castle, but I forget and live my visit over again. But just one moment more for a glimpse from the " Molkenkour," a height just above the castle and I am done. Heidelberg lies at our feet, with its roofs and spires and university, of whose fame you know so well, and beyond the long reach of the Neckar, " the dark green Eden world," the low-lying lands which border on the Rhine, fertile fields, and distant forests, a very quiet beautiful scene. But the morning sun is hurrying on and we must say " good-bye " to the sunny gardens and terraces where the good people of Heidelberg love to come for their beer and music ; and out from the spacious balcony, down a cool and sloping path, into the busy life of travel again. And yet not just as before, for I have left my heart somewhere in your green fastnesses, dear old castle on the banks of the Neckar, and ever more, at mention of your name shall breathe a prayer that you may speak messages of beauty and tenderness td those who shall come after, as you did to me (hat rare morning in June ! Fourteen years ago the Grand Lodge, feeling the necoeasity of a representation in the newspaper world, founded and adopted as its official organ The Weekly Organ. THE GOOD TEMPLARS' HOME FOR ORPHANS. In 1869 a capacious and elegant structure was erected near Vallejo, in Solano County, and in October, 1870,it was dedicated and opeod under the auspices of the Grand Lodge, and entitled the Templars' Home for Orphans." Its title "is Good not meant to convey any idea of delusiveness as to the class admitted to its sheltering offices. On the contrary it is open to all; the only passport required at its portals is to be a homeless orphan child. Children under fourteen years of age are recived and cared for, and over seventy orphaned children are now being cared for within its walls. The buildings are sightly, capacious aud pleasantly located. The Home is under the management of a Board of Trustees, and loard of Lady Managers—the former comprising nine gentlemen of the Order, who have charge of the buildings, grounds, (30 aorea), and financial matters, while the Board of Lady Managers is composed of eight prominent lady members of the Order, selected from various portions of theState, and has charge of the internal and domestic relations of the institution. Within tbe Home a graded school, under the " Publio School System " ol the State, is taught by two competent teachers. Upwards of $10,000 has been expended in the erection, care and maintenance of this institution. The Good Templars of this jurisdiction have accepted the soil-imposed duty of sustaining this Hoine'' gratefully, and the membership is linked together in Its support with unfaltering devotion. The Rev. George Morris.—We are happy to welcome, as a fellow laborer and gospel minister, this gentleman from California. He is the Pastor of a Congregational Church, in South Vallejo, but comes as Agent and Representative of the Good Templars of California. He was formerly a missionary of the London Missionary Society at Tahiti. On his arrival, he preached at shrubbery and thousand green and living the Bethel and Fort Street Churches, but is The cause of temperance has tbus been promoted by all available and honorable means—by an organised association of men and women within tbe Lodge, and the youth and children within tbe Temples. By tbe education of all through tbe press, and from tbe platform and pulpit, and by tenderly caring for tbe children bereft of parents and natural guardians through tbe use of intoxicating drinks and concomitant crime. Thus do we claim ours to be tbe most powerful and complete temperance institution ever organised.

We do not give him : credit for believing what he stated to the reporter of the Democrat, and if he did believe it, and went away from the islands with such a ridiculous and absurd impression, then it does not speak very well for his good sense. The idea that missionaries have become " wealthy " from the sale of Bibles " " and " tithes," and that they are opposed to any " white immigration " is so absolutely absurd, that for a man of Mr. Gable's standing as a "city-father" of Santa Kosa, to believe appears ridiculous. Furthermore for any newspaper to print such foolish nonsense is equally ridiculous. Until Californians have reformed their Hoodlums and refrained from abusing Chinamen, we think they might as well refrain from publishing false and ridiculous reports about our islands. New Zealand Correspondence. Auckland, N. Z., Oct. 22d, 18T7. Editor of the Friend :—I see by your last to hand, by the R. iM. S. S. Zealandia, that you have some notice of a letter written by H. B. Sterndale.and published in the Weekly News of June 2d. You also expressed a wish to have the preceding letters. By the mail leaving here by the City of New York, I send you six papers which contains the whole of the letters and trust that you will receive them safely. By what you say in your notice quoted above a short sketch of Sterndale may not prove uninteresting to you, so I give you all I know of him. He is a short, spare man, very dark and wears a most piratical look, dress and all. He has been for years sailing and residing amongst the Pacific Islands, and has sailed with the " Bully Hayes," of whom he always speaks very highly. He resided on the Island of Suwarrow for some years and claims it as his own property under the'following circumstances : The island was taken possession of by a company formed in Melbourne, who got a title for it from the British Admiralty, and they used it as a trading station for the production of copra and other island produce. There was reports of enormous treasures being buried on the island in the very early days by the " Wild Rovers," who frequented the Pacific, and they prospected for that as well. Sterndale was the manager of the company, and he resided on the island. After working at it for some considerable period, the company got into difficulties and found they could not pay what they owed Sterndale for wages and monies he had expended, and they ceded him the island in payment, and I understand that he got everything arranged with the British Admiralty to acknowledge him as the owner of Suwarrow. After knocking about the islands he came to this place and entered into a partnership with a mercantile linn (Henderson & Mac- �THE FRIEND, farlune) to work the island, and left with a vessel and crew to commence operations. Henderson & Macfarlane sending another vessel down to procure labor from other islands. Things went on smoothly for a time when a quarrel ensued and Sterndale and his wife were made " prisoners of war," by Henderson & Macfarlane's people, and .sent here. Sterndale was to be tried for attempting to murder the Captain of one of but the magistrates here refused to hear the case as they had no jurisdiction. Henderson & Macfarlane then commenced an action against him civilly to compel him to render an account of his receipts and expenditure, and whilst that was going on, a number of persons who were or had been connected with him amongst the islands raised money to buy and equip a vessel for the purpose of going down and taking forcible possession of the island. Henderson & Macfarlane to prevent Sterndale going had him arrested for debt and he was put into Limbo, where he remained until the vessel had gone, and he at once commenced action against Henderson & Macfarlane for (alse imprisonment. The firm got into difficulties, 1 believe, and to prevent himself coming under the composition with the other creditors, as he would have to do, Sterndale leaves the Colony and the action is at once quashed. It is stated that Sterndale has gone to London to get his papers proving the island to be his, which are in the hands of the British Admiralty, so he says, and will commence action against Henderson & Macfarlane on his return. You express some surprise that he has not mentioned the good the missionaries have done at the different islands, but you will not do so when I tell you that he in common with a great many more of his kind hate and detest these brave men who bring the savage out of the darkness in which he is. When the missionaries begin teaching the blacks, these men generally move further away from civilization, as their deeds would probably not bear the light of day. We here in Auckland, have great respect for men who leave home, friends and every comfort to go out amongst savages and face death in its most horrid shapes for the purpose of shedding the light of God's gospel over the souls of the poor natives of the Pacific and other islands. Severel gentlemen born here have gone out as missionaries. Notably the Rev. Mr. Atkins, who was murdered with the good Bishop Patterson, of Milenesia, and the Rev. Geo. Browne, who inaugurated the mission to New Guinea. •» Death of an Early Convert. •• DECEMBER, recorded in the case of a venerable native Hawaiian woman, who departed this life on Nov. 27th, at Nuuanu Valley. Her name was Julia Kealoha ; she had been a widow for tbe last twentyseven years, and she is supposed to have been in the eightieth year of her age at the time of her demise. She was born at Hamakua, on tbe Island of Hawaii, in the year IT'JB, as far as the date can bo ascertained. When thirty years of age, she became a member of the Mission Church of Laliaina, only a few years aftor the arrival of the first christian missionaries at these Islands. During half a century she continued a worthy member or the church ; and she had the special privilege to be engaged for one half of her long life-time, in the same missionary family, that of the |Key. 1). Baldwin. Her love of prayer and her exemplary conduct edified all those who knew her, and lor this reason she was greatly beloved by her pious Hawaiian brethren and sisters. During the whole course of fifty years, from her first admission to church-membership down to her dying hour, never was there beard even one word of accusation or suspicion against her spotless christian reputation. Her death was like her life, holy and peaceful. She has gone to receive her eternal reward with the hope of a true Christian and a good and faithful servant of the Lord. To firm believers in the religion of tbe Christ, it must be both edifying and consoling to read the simple narrative of the earthly career of this poor old Hawaiian woman, a contemporary of the great pagan conqueror Kamehameha, and an eye-witness of tbe arrival of the first Christian Missionaries upon those then heathen shores, who occupied for fifty years tbe very holiest place in the fold of the Church, unnoticed by the multitude blindly bent upon worldly vanities, while she sought alone to lay up treasures incorruptible and eternal. Her edifying life and holy end may well claim a serious thought even from the most frivolous and worldly-minded, and it is a pleasing duty for us to record this bright example of a truly christian and virtuous life—however lowly—amongst the converted women of the once pagan and benighted Hawaii nei. There are but few left of her sort. She "Clung to her faith—'twaa higher than the thought — Thul tiuealioiH.fl other faith." P. C. Advertiser, Dec. 1. Rev. George Prichard.—This English missionary, formerly residing at Tahiti, we arc gratified to learn, is still living and able to preach. Our informant, Mr. Arundel, says that Mr. Prichard now preaches twice and sometimes thrice upon the Sabbath, be- ing vigorous and hale at the age of four score and more. Mr. Prichard will be remembered as having officiated as British Consul at the Society Islands, at the period of the French troubles, about forty years ago. We would acknowledge, from Mrs. Taylor, of London, copies of Spurgeon's " Sword and Travel " lor July, August and September. From Dr. N.

The soil of the larger islets is extremely fertile and of great depth. The entrance channel is wide and deep, opening straight down from north to south (without an angle or bend of any kind), the most suitable direction with regard to the prevailing wind, which blows steadily from the eastward during the greater part of the year. Marines acquainted with this place (of which there are not many) do not hesitate to go in or out on a clear night without apprehension, as there are no hidden dangers or rocks below the surface above the level bottom, which carries 5 fathoms of water at the lowest tides. Within the harbor are all depths from 30 fathoms, shoaling to the beach, with a fine sandy bottom, white as snow. Beyond the outer reef are no outlying dangers, either in the shape of promontories or detached rocks,' neither is there any land within 160 miles of it in any direction. The shallow portions of the vast lagoon which forms the harbor produce great quantities of oysters of a superior kind, as likewise bechtde-rner of the largest and most valuable species. The existence of this islnnd was first reported about 50 years ago, by one Lieutenant LazarelT, a Russian, who named it after the famous Muscovite, General Suwarrow, whom Byron describes, in his " Don Juan," as conducting the siege of Ismael. Lazareff landed upon it, but, by his own account, found no living creatures save only birds, crabs, and rats. He does not appear to have found any entrance, for he makes no mention thereof, neither to have noticed any cocoa palms, although there must have been many in existence at the time of his visit. In fact he seems to have mistaken it for a mere bank of coral gravel, washed up by the sea, and overgrown with forest and scrub, upon which no subsistence could be found for man. islet, and the form and bearings of the tree, which leaned over to the eastward in a peculiar manner. None of the coin was of this century : some of it was very old and black, and of a date coincident with the era of Commodore Anson. The finder possessed still further information (which he imparted to me very minutely) of other similar but more valuable deposits, but fate did not afford him an opportunity to profit by his knowledge, for he died uyon the island of Manihiki, where he went to visit his wife, very shortly thereofter. The stripping and burning of the wreck having been completed, the Caroline Hort, the vessel employed on that service, took her departure, and the island was left to its primeval solitude. A. 1,.

One fact is very remarkable, —that he was acquainted from the day of his first landing, with the precise spot, within a few rods, where this treasure had been concealed. Some years after this occurrence, another associate of mine unearthed, apon a detached islet, about a mile distant from the locality of the former deposit, 2400 dollars, which had been buried at the root of an old ironwood tree. He declared he had been informed of this many years before, by a stranger, whose acquaintance he had made in a grog-shop of Tahiti.

Out and in with the morning air ; I love to see him track tbe street With hia wavy eyes and active feet. And I often watch him as he springs, Ciroling the eteeplo with easy wings Till across the dial his shade has passed, And the belfry edge is gained at last, "fis a bird I love, with its brooding note And the trembling throb of its mottled throat; There's a human look in its swelling breast And the gentle ourve of its lowly crest ; And I often stop with the fear I feel— He runt so close lo the rapid wheel. Whatever is wrung on the noisy bell— Chime or the hour or funeral knell. The dove in the belfry must hear it well. When tbe tongue swings out to tbe midnight moon— When tbe aexton cheerily rings for noon— When tbe dock strikes clear at tbe morning lightWhen the ohild is waked with nine at night" When the chimes play soft in the Sabbath air, Filling the spirit with tones of prayer— Whatever tale in the bell is heard. He broods on his folded feet unstirred Or rising half in his rounded nest He takes the time to smooth his breast Then drops again with filmed eyes And sleeps aa tbe last bibration dies. " "Sweet bird ! I would that I could be A hermit in tbe crowd, like tbee ! With wings to fly to wood and glen Thy lot, like mine, is oast with men ; And daily with unwilling feet, I tread, like thee, the crowded street ; But, unlike me, when day is o'er, Thou oanat dismiss tbe world, and soar. Or, at a half-felt wish for rest, Canst smooth the feathers on thy breast And drop, forgetful, to thy nest. : I would that in such wings of gold I could my weary heart upfold And, while the world throngs on beneath. Smooth down my cares and calmly breathe ; And only sad with other's sadness And only glad with other's gladness Listen, unstirred, to knell or chime, And, lapt in quiet, bida my time. N. P. Willis. the presence and nddresses of Rev. Joseph Coolt, Rev. L. T. Townsend, D. D , Rev. L. W. Munhall, of Indiana, Rev. A. J. Gordon, and Mr. L. P. Rowland, of Philadelphia, who respectively addressed the sessions on the topics appointed for consideration. Among these topics were the following: The Power of Personal Effort; Association Work in Colleges ; Christian Workers—the qualifications necessary to success ; Present condition of Associations in the State ; and Bible Instructions in the Light of Science. The latter theme was expounded by Prof. Townsend who made this point among others : " The teacher must be prepared to answer the honest doubts of inquirers who find in this scientigc theories of Darwin Huxley and other modern investigators' stumbling blocks to their faith. Instead of inaktng the sweeping statement that Darwinism and like theories are atheism the teacher should show what is true, that these modern scientists have a profound reverence for God and that there are numbers of devout Christians who are Evolutionists and who look on Evolution as God's method in creation. The result would be a new and strengthened faith in the truth of the Scriptures. So with respect to other questions of science, the brightest intellects will not accept for an answer to their queries a sweeping condemnation of these theories." Mr. Cook in his address upon Christian association work in its relations to and claims upon the Church was effective as usual, commending tbe associations in the strongest terms, and arguing that the day was past when any justification of their existence was called for. To the Young Men's Christian Association idea he accordded the revival movements of the past year. Incidental to the regular meetings of the Convention were the usual devotional exercices, including an open air. meeting on the common, on Wednesday evening, at half-past six, and a "gospel meeting" later in the Hall. The attendance throughout the two days was excellent, including two hundred and forty-five delegates. The hospitality of the Natick brathren was generous; and a generally good time was enjoyed. Among the resolutions passed was one inviting Moody and Sankey to continue their work the present winter.— Congregation- Y. M. C. A. Notes. The State Convention of Young Men's Christian Associations of Massachusetts was held in N stick, on Wednesday and Thursday, Oct. 10th and 11th, at Clark's Hall, Russell Sturgess, Esq., of Boston, presided, assisted by a large staff of vice-presidents and secretaries. Foaty-two associations were alist. represented in tbe state report, embracing At a recent meeting of the Honolulu Y. four thousand members, and verbal accounts M. C. A., it was voted that the regular of more than half were rendered to the Con. meetings of the Association be held herevention. after on the second Friday before the full The interest of the exercise centered in moon, in the second month of each quarter. At a recent Y. M. C. A Convention at Cambridge, Vt., it was stated by the held Sec- retary of the State Executive Committeee, that during the past year, sixty-nine places were visited ; among them, four where there were no churches, and ninety-nine gospel meetings were held. Thirty-six of the churches report eight hundred and thirty-five conversions ; thirty-five report an aggregate of three hundred and ninety-nine additions. The State is divided into four districts and each district is in charge of a srcretary. There is also a general secretary for the State. At a recent reunion.of the Y. M. C. A.of Bordeaux, France, the very zealous and efficient General Secretary bade the Association farewell to enter the evangelical ministry, to which he goes with many prayers. The Y. M. C. A.of Binghampton, N. V., holds a gospel meeting every Sunday afternoon at five o'clock at the Erie depot for railroad men. At the same time a Bible class is held at the rooms, preceded by a service of song. On Sunday morning a prayer and praise meeting is held especially for young men. A series of interesting meetings have been held the past season under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A.of Providence, R. I. Mr, E. D. Ingersoll, the agent of the executive committee railroad men, held meetings recently at Providence in behalf of this class. It is probable that steps will be taken to organize a railroad branch. The revision of the Bible now in progress is being conducted in such a conservative spirit that ninety-five per cent, of fIR people will not know the new Bible from the present revision. Among the changes that have been agreed upon are the following: The fourth verse of John v. will be excluded; the passage in John i. concerning the three heavenly witnesses will be omitted; straining at a gnat" will be translated " straining a gnat." Other changes will be these: Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye believed ? " will be translated, " Did ye re- " " ceive the Holy Ghost when ye believed ? " Baptizing in the name " will be translated, " Baptizing into the name"; the passage in " Peter, chapter ii. verses 1-5, "Add to your faith virtue, and to virtue knowledge," will be changed to read, " In your faith minister virtue, and in your virtue knowledge") the reference in John, chapter x., verse 16, "One fold, one shepherd." will be corrected to "One flock, one shepherd"; "The love of money is the roof of all evil," will be changed to "Th,c Ipve pf money is a root of all evil." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
