Friend, 1874-02

Published by the Rev. Samuel Chenery Damon from 1845 to 1885, The Friend focused on temperance and Christian mission to seamen. It began as a monthly newspaper that included news from both American and English newspapers, and gradually expanded to adding announcements of upcoming events, reprints of sermons, poetry, local news, editorials, ship arrivals and departures and a listing of marriages and deaths. From 1885 through 1887, it was co-edited by the Revs. Cruzan and Oggel. The editorship then passed to Rev. Sereno Bishop, who held the post until the publication of the paper fell under the auspices of the Board of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association in April of 1902 where it remained until June 1954. Since then, it has continued in a different format under the Hawaii Conference-United Church of Christ up to the present day, making it the oldest existing newspaper in the Pacific. Note that there are some irregularities in the numbering of individual issues, so that two issues may have the same volume and number, but different dates will distinguish them.

Advices from San Francisco per Doniet showed that the above amount was ~ot sufficient to cover the expense of getting him and family to Honolulu. So by vote of the Association one hundred dollars more was added, making it three hundred and fifty dollars ; and it is now hoped that before the the close of the present year, we may see him at work amongst his countrymen and laboring for their salvation.-[CoM. e s nr ,. 10 1' 8 E F R I E N D , William Logan, of Glasgow.

We take much pleasure in recommending M. Dickson's establishment, 61 Fort street. There will be found the best assortment in Honolulu or o~ the islands. Since writing the above we have seen at the residence of the American Minister a photographic album containing views of island scenery, which were executed by Mr. Dickson and show that he has been very succes:::;ful in the photographic art. These views are of moderately large size and afford a good idea of scenery and building in Honolulu. Father Hyacinthe, reform has begun already • without tarrying for any,' ~s the Puritan Pilgrims used to say. The married priest stands at the altar. The mass is said and sung in the language of the .people. Auricular confession is abolished, except as it remains the voluntary act of the penitent, seeking ~ounsel and guidance. Thes;e three great r~formations stand visible to every one m the very front of the Catholic church in Geneva. And we have a sure guaranty that just so fast as changes commend them to the conscience and hearts of this people, they will be adopted without flinching. ' \Mr. Bacon says that Hyacinthe's farewell sermon in the Geneva ' Reformed ' church, before assuming his new duties at the cathedral, was a wonder of Christian eloquence: "But the great climax of the sermonspoken without any note, from the steps of the altar-was when he alluded to the interdict launched but the day before against himself and his colleagues, and the new curse of excommunication served on him that morning at his dwelling. He adjured the people not to retort these evil wordR; and not to cease to honor the holy and priestly office of those who uttered them, but to remember that these their enemies were also brethrens, and Christians, and Catholics-to bless those that cursed them and pray for those who despitefully used them. As he spoke, the vast dense throng rose to their feet, and he broke into such a rapture of prayer as I never heard before from mortal lips, uttering the petitions of the Lord's Prayer one by one, with a paraphrase of marvelous fervor and beauty, closing all with an ascription of praise. Then, passing through the congregation, he drove home, arriving just in time to greet his first-born son, Paul Emanuel Hyacinthe, born Sunday, October 19, 1873. co= Dr. W, Hobbs, M. D., M. R. C.

This gentleman went to the Colonies from Canada, about fifteen years ago, where he has labored as the Pastor of a Baptist Church in the vicinity of Sydney. He appears to be a warm and ardent advocate of the Temperance Reform, and also sets the example of abstaining from all kinds of animal food, believin.8' that 11 vegetable food " is far more conducive to }lealth and long life.

U Some anxiety is felt for the safety of the Hawaiian brig Kamehameha V, Capt Weeks, which sailed hence on a whaling and trading voyage to Micronesia, Dec 18th, 1872. She is reported to have left Bonape, (Marshall Islands) on the 6th of August last, for Honolulu, intending to touch at some islands on the way. It is known that the inhabitants of many of the islands in those seas are savage and treacherous. The bark Comet made the passage to San Francisco in 17 days, arriving Dec 22d.

THE HAWAIIAN HOTEL, HONOLULU, HAWAIIAN .}SLANDS~ ALLEN HERBERT, Proprietor. After consider• -able discussion in the local newspapers and among our citizens as to the best course to be adopted, His 1ate Majesty's • Cabinet took the initiative, and on the 5th of Dec. 1870, adopted a resolution a uthor i z i n g the erection of a hotel, and the issuing of bonds to the amount of $100,000 for this object. At the suggestion of His Excellency J. Mott Smith, then Minister of Finance, an effort was first made to raise funds among the merchants and citizens. It proved quite successful, and in less than one week over forty thousand dollars _were pledged for the purpose. The sum finally contributed by citizens was $42,5000, for which bonds were issued, payable at the end of five years from Oct. 16, 1871. It was understood fhat the subscribers to the fund were not to become shareholders in the building, but that the risk of the enterprise was to be assumed wholly by the GovernThey, however, were invited to ment. choose two persons to confer with the Cabinet regardipg the erection of the hotel, and the approjfriation of the funds. Messrs. L. L. Torbert and C. H. Lewers were chosen for this object. Thus, mainly through the personal efforts of the Minister of Finance, was the project , becran, and the ways and means provided. 0 So on after this Dr. Smith purchased from the Catholic Mission, as a site for the hotel, the Hooper premises, with the adjoining lots known as the French premises on Alakea street, a11d the Friel premises on Richard street. The. paid for these three properties, includitl°g a costly iron fence on the. way from England, was ten thousand dollars. The entire building is lighted with gas, and over two nundred burners are provided. The gas is produced on the premises in a Jarge machine manufactured by"'the Pacific \ fJJ:JWmati~,..,µ~§ Company of San Francisco. ·."'
