Friend, 1881-04

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 number of 'l'heological students here is still large. In the cemetery on the hill,.just, above the town, lie men whose names are known beyond the limits of Germany-August Hermann Franke, Professor rrholuck, Professor Muller and 9thers. It is a peaceful, quiet spot. There are st.ill living in Halle a number of men who, in one w·ay or another, may b~ counted among the distinguished names of Germany of this century-Professo1· Ulrici, the well-known Shakesperian scholar, Professor Pott, now very aged, one of the first and most successful workers in the department of Scientific Philology, Robert Franz, the composer, whose sweet songs are known all over the world by lovers of choice music, and others, who I have scarcely time now to specify. '11 0 one day and hour especially in the week have I learned to look forward with peculiar pleasure this winter. Every Saturday towards noon a chorus of boys from the orphan asylum sing one of the beautiful chorals of the German church beneath my window. I shall never forget the rare delight it afforded me the first time I heard them. Suddenly, unexpectedly, came a glorious burst of music, deliciously clear and melodious, from those fresh young throats. It is another of the pleasant old customs of the place that the orphan boys of the school should sing here at certain times in the streets, before certain houses, from whose inmates they receive some little recompense. A more charming interruption in the practical business of the day's life and work could scarcely be imagined. THE '' S'.rUDENT PROFESSOR." Only a short time since, in 1877, here, in Hll,lle, closed the earthly life and labors of one of the best and greatest men Germany has known in modern times. In fact, this University town is in a large, very large degree, known to America and li:ngln.nd because of this man who lived and labored here for more than half a century. As far back as 1831, the well-known author of "Researches in Palestine," Dr. Edward Robinson, said" To the American Christian who travels on this part of the Continent, 'rHoLUCK is undoubtedly the most interesting person whosH acquaintance he will make. He possesses a greater personal influence and reputation than any other 'l'heologian in Germany." What was true then of Dr. Th0luck, lovingly styled the "Student Professor," was true for many long years which followE:d. In Christian homes, all over the world, the name of this German Professor and earnest Christian, and great souled, loving man, has become dear and familiar. It has been, this winter, my privilege, one which 1 as you can readily understand, I cherish and prize most highly, to live in the home where, for so many years, this brave Christian soldier, this friend and helper of young men, passed the larger part of his active earthly life; where he gathered about him a remarkable circle of friends and pupils; and where the summons came to him to enter into the glory of the higher Life of Heaven. rrhe widow of Professor Tholuck is still living, and to her kind courtesy and hospitality, I am indebted for one of the most charming experiences of my German life. I cannot resist the temptation here to mention her name in connection with that of the famous Professor and Theologian, by whose side she stood for so many years, winning all hearts by the rare sweetness and beauty of her life. May she long live to carry ,forward the good work to which she has so nobly devoted her life and her property. One of the finest monuments to the memory of the '' Student Professor'' is the '' flqm,e '' for THE FRIEND, APRIL, I 8 8 I.

It is far from easy for me to write these words. I would not have thought once it could ever be so hard. In a few days I shall probably be on the other side of the Alps, listening to the dip of Gondola oars in Venetian waters. But a few more hours are left me in the pleasant German Vaterland, and the memories of pleasant years spent here fill my thoughts and prove o me bow large a pince in my heart, in coming years, Germany will have. From . the first of my stay here, I have felt the warmth and cordiality of German hearts aud to-day realize, in the .midst of a loving circle of friends, that I am no longer a "stranger in a strange land." rrhere is a certain charm in the German life and character, which can only . be appreciated through long and close acquaintance, something as subtle and untranslatable for a stranger and hasty traveller, as the sweetness and tenderness of Germ au " Lie11er" and the melody of German Lyric poetry.

Among other statements he said that Sllme two years agb, a native missionary from Ascens10n, by the name of Moses, was placed in Namatuk, one •or the MoPtlock groupe, coutaiuing about 400 inhabitants . With no assistant but his wife, he learned the dialect and began preaching. Success attended his umvearied efforts. At the end of one year, the Rev. Mr. Doane and Mr. Rand visited the Island and to their surprise, they found the people had listened to. the gospel message. These two experienced Missionaries were so much pleased with the work, that among the people they found 36 whom, in ch9,rity, they thought fit subjects for Cbribtian Baptism.

G-eneml James A. Gm--fi,el<l,-DEAR Srn: 'l'he undersigned, graduates of Williams' College, liviug on the island of Maui, Hawaiian Islands, feel impelled to express their congratulationes to you un your electil •n to the office of President of tLe United States of America ; although some of our number formerly addressed you on the occasion of your nomination; for mingled with the high gratification we feel in the triumph of the party that represents righteousness and national prosperity and progress, we feel a peculiar pleasure in seeing our Williams' College honored by the election of one of her sons to so high a position. From our rememberance of the influence of our venerated President Hopkins and of the other Williams' instructors we would have had peculiar confidence in a selection from the roll of our alumni for any position, even the most responsible and honorable. And we say with cordial sincerity that your former expressions of your views and principles on public matters together with all your public career, makes us augur well for the future of the magnificent country whose government you are to lead; and we hope that with your consideration M the vast interests of that nation, you will feel an mterest in this little country of the Hawaiian Islands, which was civilized and christianized by Americans, and which has bO large a proportion of its population composed of people from the United States of America, conducting its business and commerce and exerting a paramount influence for good government and for the progress of Christianity, that it feels as keen an interest in American affairs as though it were one of the United States; nestling like a tropical bird under the wing of the American eagle. Besides us who subscribe our names from this district on Maui are many other graduates of Willia.m s College and of other American institutions, on the other islands, who would gladly unite with us in these congratulations. We are sincerely and respectfully yours, JAMES M. ALEXANDER, AMASA PRATT, THOMAS H. RousE, GEO. E. BECKWITH, SAMUEL 'I'. ALEXANDER. ABRAM PRATT, , W.C.BIXIlY. MENTOR, Omo,.

Though many duties press upon me, I cannot deny myself the pleasure of turning asi.de for a, moment to thank you fo:r the happiness which your kind words have given me. Of the many congratulations which come to me, none are dearer or more cheering than those I re ceive from t-he graduates of '' Old Williams. " With kindest regards to each and every one of you, I remain, very truly yours, J. A. GARFIELD. 'fo Messrs. J.M. Alexandm, Arnasa Pnttt, Thomas H. Uouse, Geo. E. Beckwith, Samuel J.

But the rattle of the cabs along the pitched-stoned roads bas ever come between me and my rest. The quietest and nicest place that I have as yet discovered within easy reach of the sights and sounds of London is Mr. Burr's Boarding-House, 11 Queen's Square, Bloomsbury. There is a home feeling there, a solid comfortableness, an orderly management, and a quiet at night which are all quite refreshing.
