Description | 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. |

THE MoNTH OF JuNE.-This month, in Honol:1lu, is principally devoted to school examinations, Sunday School celebrations, meetings of the Evangelical Association, missionary gatherings, and social entertainments. If our paper was published weekly we should he? glad to notice these various public gatherings. Our neighbors, the Gazette, Adve1·tiser and Islander, have so fully commented upon these occurrences that we yield the . field to them. Some of these entertainments, it has been our privilege to· attend, and we thought the speeches and all the performances were uncommonly good. Orie feature of these gatherings is worthy of notice. We refer to that kindly feeling and sympathy among all classes towards each other. Race-prejudice and class-distinctions are not offensive. Hawaiians and foreigners, of various nationalities, mingle together in easy and familiar intercourse. This was quite marked at the examination of Miss Bingham's school and the missionary tea-party, at Fort Street Church. God hath ·made of one blood all nation~, and the day is not far distant we hope when all will treat each other as children of a common Father, and followers of a common Saviour. SuPPLEl\t:ENT-EXTRA.-The readers of the Fl'iend will be furnished with a supplement 'for July, containing a full report of the Evangelical Association, for the year. The meetings of the Association were well nt• tended ancl quite harmonious. H1s Ex.

THE FRIEND JULY I, l 8'76. Philosophy of Polynesian Histor~. The recent election of lVlalietoa, as King of Samoa, brings out a certain stage in the development of the political history of Samoans, similar to that which may be seen in the history of other islands of Polynesia. Samoans have arrived at a stage in their history, similar to that of Hawaiians , when Kameharpeha 1. conquered all the· Hawaiian Islands and brought them under one sovereign. The Tonga Islands reached a similar stage, when the present. King George assumed the sovere'ignty whirh he now holds with such a steady hand, although he may ~ometimes exercise the office of a local Wesleyan preacher ! The tide of influences among Fijians brought King Thakombau to the throne, but foreign influences were so sttong that he was compelled to succumb, and his sovereignty has become merged in that, of British Colonial rule. At the Society Islands the conquering flag of the French stepped in and arrested the tide of influences tending to a central government. New Zealand tribes were entirely overthrown by foreign influences, and no central government was organized, although there were faint attempts in that direction. At the Marquesas Islands, the same results were apparent. The state of political affairs at the Kingsmill or Gilbert Islands corresponds to that of Hawaii, Samoa and ronga, prior to the establishment of a central government. To a superficial observer Polynesian politics, William Mills, relating to the government, shipping, exports, &c., of the group. The following paragraph concerning the political condition of the Islands, we copy, inasmuch as it will serve to explain the state of the islanders, before the recent election of King Malietoa, under the guiding influences of Col. Steinberger. Mr. Mills, under date of lVlay 31, 1845, thus wrote us: "There is no properly constituted government in Samoa. Every land has its chief, and each is unwilling that another should dictate to him. Still, in matters which concern the public welfare, they are ready to agree and enact laws. After all, as it remains with each party to act upon those regulations, or not, as they please, it is of course very difficult, for the well disposed part of the community to..,stand out against an evil which demands punishment." Thus the political status of Samoa has rema1ned until the recent organization of the government and the adoption of a (lonstitntion. An important step towards the new order of affairs, was the organization of a Provisional Government on the 21st of August, 1873, during Col. Steinberger's first visit to the group. On the forty-seventh page of Col. Steinberger's Report, to the President of the United States, will be found a full statement of the principles of the Government of Samoa as then established. The inhabitants of Samoa were, however, precisely in the condition of the Jews during the reign of the Judges! They wanted a king, and when two rival candidates set up their respective claims, there was the prospect of a civil war but fortunately, no, Providentially, at this critical moment Col. Steinberger arrives, and a King is duly elected. SERMON ON Ho:rvrn M1ss10Ns.-This year the Rev. A. 0. Forbes, of Hilo, preached in Fort Street Church, the Annual Home Missionary Sermon, before the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, from the text-" This is the word of the Lord unto Zerubbabel; not by might nor by ·power, but by my spirit, saith the Lord of Hosts "-Zechariah, 4:6. In the di:scussion and illustration ~f the subject, he commented with the skill and fancy of a Bunyau or Jeremy Taylor, upon the 2d and 3d verses of the chapter, from which his text was chosen, wherein the angel asks the prophet, " What seest thou? And I said, I hue looked and behold a candlestick all gold, with a bowl upon the top of it, and his seven lamps thereon, and seven pipes to the seven lamps which were upon the top thereof, and two olive trees by it, one upon the right side of tbP bowl, and the other upon the left side thereof.:' All the ma• chinery of church organizations, missionary. societies, and other agencies would be as ineffectual to renovate and regenerate the world without the spirit and power of God, as the bowl, pipes and lamps of the seven-braµched candlesticks to give forth light without the oil of the olive trees on the right and left of the same. THE ROYAL ScHooL.-The examination of this Government school took place on Wednesday, June 9th. Tbe buildings were beautifully decorated with fine pictures of His Majesty, the Queen and the Prince Regent, in the large school house. and a well decorated picture in the other building. The spelling match in Mrs. Kinney's department was well oontested, and we congratulate the little fellow who carried off the prize, a handsome Bible. All the exercises in this department, considering there are but two teachers fpr 120 scholars, passed off remarkably well. Mr. Mackintosh, Miss Bdckwood and Miss Davis bad examinations in reading, Grammar, spelling, (some of the words given out would have frightened the most enthusiastic in this branch) Geography, English History, arithmetic and algebra., in all of which branches thorough teaching .was shown. The rhetorical exercises were all excellent. We particul:trly noticed "Hatred," (from the Merchant o_f Venice) admirably spoken·by a small boy; "'fhe Whiskers," which was well acted by the one young lady of the school and a very youthful gentleman; "The Baron's last Banquet," which we bad thought worn threadbare, so well rendered, it seemed new; Cassius against Coosar .was very fine; the •• Gridiron," surpasses description; •' The School Committee," a laughable piece, where Hawaiian boys ridicule American "Woman's Rights." The Kamehameha Hymn closed the exercises. Long live the Royal School and its pleasant teachers.-P. C. Jldvertiser, June 12. REv. Da. BoYD OF GENEVA, N.

The students have found suitable employments during the year from which they have been able to supply themselves with food and clothing. The Hawaiian Hoard has appropriated two hundred dollars for the expenses of the school. Donations continue to be paid in from foreigners for the Seminary. Female Boarding Seminaries. One new Female Boarding School has been commenced the past year at Kohala, Hawaii. The funds for this institution have been contributed, for the most part, on the Island of Hawaii.

Of these 35 are supplied with pastors, and 11 have temporary supplies, and 14 are without pastors. Some have called candidates for the pastoral office, and. none of them are entirely destitute of religious teaching. For various reasons several pastors have been dismissed from their charges during 1,712 06 the past year. Among these reasons are age and feebleness and lack of competent support. From many of the churches there comes up the vail of spiritual weakness and death. 335 oo Many mernJlers neglect the House of God, , religious prayer meetings, the Bible and the family altar. Many are worldly and many 199 8 1 given to the objects and pleasures of this I THE life, and many sleep. In many parts it may be said with pain and sorrow, that " Zion sighs and goes backward." Other churches have held on their way and have not faltered, and the number of membet·s cut off from the churches has not been unusually large. The deaths in the churches have greatly out numbered the receptions, being 279, while only 126 have been receivE>d on profe~sion of faith. In contr·ibutions for the cause of Christianity, the churches have not greatly declined, the whole amount being nearly 24,000 dollars. II.-NON •PROFE $$ORS. The proportion of this class increases, while that of faithful professors is on the decrease. Among the number of those outside of the churches there are few who enquire after God or seek" The 'w ay to Zion;" while very many are blinded and hardened iri sin. Some are infidels, some scoffers, while many rush along the "broad way" of worldliness and pleasure; regardless alike of invitations, religious teachings, calls of mercy, and the threatening thunders of Goq's laws. Few wish to come to Jesus, or eveq. to enter the visible church. Three causes have contributed largely to this state of things, viz: The infidelity of many foreign residents; the multiplication of worldly temptations; and, most to be deplqred ·of ali, the carnal ca re of the ministry and of the churches.-" At ease in Zion." III.~SABBA TH SCHOOL.S Have been kept up in most of the chur,ches and congregations, but, in most cases, with diminished interest and reduced numbers. 1n some parts they have ceased for the time being, but we believe they will be revived again. There are earnest and patient workers in this department; but the deep ignorance, and the stolid indifference on the part of a large proportion of parents, and of not a few of the teachers, render the work hard and up hill. The practice in some Sabbath Schools of allowing the children to neglect the Christian instruction of the pulpit we regard as false and very dangerous, and we beg all to abandon it. IV.-THEOLOGICAL SCHOOL. As this is a subject to be reported elsewhere, we will only say here, that it is a subject of very grave importance, and calls for the earnest, prayerful and patient attention of the pastors, the churc4es and the friends of Christian truth throughout the land. If we would sustain the Lord's work on these islands, and scatter wide the good seed of the kingdom in other realms, where darkness and sin rule, we must spare no proper effort to raise up and perpetuate an enlightened and spiritual ministry for Hawaii nei and for our mission fields. FRIEND, JULY, 1875. V.-SECULAR SCHOOLS. The schools under the r.are of the government have gone on as usual with more or less efficiency, but with decreasing numbers. The College at Punahou has been prosperous. · Boarding Schools for boys and girls have been sustained with success, though the aggregate of pupils is less than in former years. In addition to the well c0nducted Boarding Schools of Hilo, Makawao, Kawaiahao and Waialua, a new institution for girls has been opened in Kohala, Hawaii, during the year, under hopeful auspices. (Lahainaluna must not be omitted.) Besides these there are numerous family, or private schools in Honolulu, Hilo and other parts of the islands, all working earnestly for ihe training of our sons and daughters in useful knowledge. On the whole, it may be doubted whether any community in Christendom has a larger proportion of its children and youths under efficient instruction than Hawaii nei. VI.-OUR MISSIONS . In the great ocean field of Micronesia all seems prosperous and cheering. Western breezes waft us the blessed tidings that, as in the morning of the physical creation, so now1 the spirit of the Lord moves upon the great waters, ~o lately covered in chaotic darkness, evolving spiritual life and beauty where all was death and ruin before. We are greatly encouraged to labor and pray, to give qnd to go in this direction since our reward is so rich and abundant, even now. The field is broad and white, and the harvest sure. ·with sickle in hand and the harvest song Qn our lip&, let us press into it. Nor let us neglect that more storm,y and stubborn field, tq.e Marquesas group~ for even there we have sheaves. Prayers and tears and patient seed-sowing do ancl will bring joyful reaph;ig. On the whole, while we have much to de~\ore in our own weak faith and faint-hearteqne~s in the back-sliding and callousness p.f the churches; in the prevalence of worldli~ess and unbelief; in the continuance of that fearful scourge, the leprosy; in the pre-valence of immorality, offenses and crimes, and in the silent but sure wasting aw11y of the Hawaiian race, still We have great cause for gratitude to Almighty God fqr the peace and comforts we enjoy; for the opport':}nities. to labor without hinderance in our dear Master's vineyard, and for the innumerable mercies, physical, r.ivil, intellectual, social, moral and spiritual, which are bestowed on us as an Association, on the cq.urches under our care; on the education!ll interests we foster, and upon the Hawaiian Government and Nation. Re~pectfully submitted, . T. COAN, J. H. MAHOE, Committee. A. PALI. l Examination of the Theological School. . . . The exammat10n of the Theological School of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association was held June 14th, 1875. There were twelve Th e teac h ers t h e past scholars present. year have b een: Revs. B . W. Parker, D. Baldwin and H. H. Parker. The following is the course of study pur- 63 sued in the School the past year, na~1ely : Bible History, Chronology, Sacred Geography, Church History, Natural Theology, Evidences of Christianity, Exegesis of portions of the New Testament, Christian Theology, Composition and Delivery of Sermons, and Pastoral Theology. Sacred music has also been taught. In most of these branches the students were examine~, though owing to the limited time allowed for the examination some of them were omitted. From the appearance of the scholars in the e~amination, we are satisfied that the teachers have been very diligent, and used great care in imparting to their pupils a knowledge of the great truths of the Bible, and the fundamental doctrines of the Christian religion. There was no appearance of carelessness or indifference, or mistakes in their teaching. We were . indeed highly pleased with their whole work so far as shown in the examination. The scholars appear to have been obedient and commendably attentive to the instructions of their teachers . Most of them were prompt and correct in their answers to questions as though they had comprehended the subjects and firmly fixed the truths in their minds. Though there was n,o.t 11:n entire un~forrnity amo~g them, some .a,ppeared more ready than oth,ers~ The 0<:>,m.mitte~ would s~y a word,. by way o( ~~ho,rtatioo : the members of t~i~ Asso_cia~io,Il; S.hou~q earnestly pray the ~ord o,f th~ ~ary~.$t th.a~ He will raise up Sl,\ita~.l~ c~qd~dates for th~ School, that they way be p,repared to go forth and cheerfu~ly and faithfully and earn1;1.stly labor in the Master'~ vineyard, either in the home-field o;r in other islands as the Lord shall direct. We all, members of the Association andi members of the Hawaiian churches, should look for suitable persons to enter the syhool.· Men of wisdom, and of humility, and men who fear God, and have been renewei;l, ~y the Holy Spirit. ·we ought also;all ~each .., ers and scholars, pastors and churches, to, feel deeply that these scholars will not be prepared for their work, unless they cultivate. a constant communion with Jesus the great Teacher. Human knowledge and wisdom, and human strength, will not fit them for their work, unless they are clothed with humility, filled with love and faith, and with the Hgly Ghost. We ought also to pray for these teachers who are now instructing and training the scholars, also that other teachers may be ready to supply their places, when through age and infirmities they are no longer able to labor, that to the school may be a perma," nent institution. Let us be grateful to the " Lord of the, . harvest ." for the establishment of this Theological School, and for His care over it> and pr~y th_at it may be a light to shine upon _ this nation, and a blessing to other lands now in darkness.
