Friend, 1875-09

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 Sailor's Friend. • The apostle Paul declares that "it is good to be zealously affected always in a good thing." Mr. Plimsoll, M. P., has nobly shown that he is zealously affected and determined to protect British seamen. Late English and American papers contain frequent mention of the efforts of this philanthropist in behalf of the lives and safety ot seamen. He has shown by facts and statis• tics that hundreds, aye thousands, of seamen are annually sacrificed to the cupidity of British ship-owners, by sending ships to sea utterly unseaworthy! The facts no one can gainsay. Mr. Plimsoll endeavored to obtain the passage of a law to rectify these abuses, but the members of parliament would not pass the law. Mr. Plimsoll arose in indignation, and called things by their right names! He has since apologized for his unparliamentary language, but he is no less resolved to press the matter before the British public; and we rejoice that his appeal is being heard. The people are taking the matter up and depend upon it something good will come. John Bull is rather hard to arouse, but when his ire up, parliament will obey! It is a hard matter in old England tQ rectify old uses and abuses, but the history of reforms should f-iUrely encourage Mr. Plimso1l. He has pluck and facts, and erelong th~y will win the day.

And if, as is apparent from the retrospect of the period m1der consideration 1 the dealings of God's Providence are by gradual steps; if there is 'a plan of things laid out, which, from the nature of it, requires var:ous systems of means, as well as length of time in order to the carrying out of its several parts into execution;' it is clear that we are onlv deceiving ourselves when we compare sixty or seventy years of modern missionary work with the results that have been achieved by ancient Missions in Europe. We overlook the fact that it is 1,800 years of selfsacriflce, labor, prayer, · and devotion which have produced the result we now see. instead of comparing sixty or seventy years of modern missionary labor with the result of l,800 years, if we would be fair . and reasonable, we should compare them with sixty or seventy years out of the 1,800, during which the Church was engaged in the same wo~k in which she is engaged now.

BY H., PEARSALL SMITH. The Scriptures are not a lot of books thrown together without regard to order. There is a consecutive arrangement of them all through. Beginning with the scene of an earthly Paradise, the Scriptures close with the scene of a heavenly Paradise. Berrinning with the tree of life, which was forfeited, 1t closes with a t1·ee of life which shall be ours eternally. Beginning with man under probation, it ends with man in absolute and unconditioned grace. Beginning with an earthly marriage, it closes with the glorious scene of a heavenly marriage; and all throughout, from first to last, there is a regular gradation and develo~men~. ln, Genesis we find the storv of God s trial ot man in various conditions always resulting in failure-failure in Paradise, failure when men were without law, failure when they were under law, failure under the patriarchal svstem, winding up with the terrible bonda~e of the children of Israel in Egypt. The s:cond book gives us the story of man's redemption. We have sometimes sought to take the redemption without placing the Red Sea between us and the world we have left. In the third book we find God's provision in our condition of infirmity and failure in having continual access to Himself. In the fourth book we have the people of God being brought forward into the ~lorious land of thei1· inheritance, and trustrng Jehovah, whose wonderful hand and power they had just experienced in being turned back into the wilderne&s for forty years. In Deuteronomy we have the second giving of the law, that deeper and more searching examination of our hearts in the light of the will of God which always precedes the more definite entrance on a life of full obedience SEPTE!JB}~R, and communion. In Joshua we have the story of their crossing .Jordan, beginning with the words, "Up, sanctify yourselves; for to-morrow the Lor<l will do wonders among you." I be! ieve that is the word for our day here, that God is coming to do wonders throughout his Church, such as before we have scarcely dared to hope for. The story of Joshua is one of almost unbroken victory, and at the close of the book he says, " You know how, in all your hearts and all your souls, every promise God has made to you has been yours." Joshua died; and when those who had known him, and the elders which had crossed the Jordan had all died, then came a scene of failure; but our Joshua, our Jesus, never dies. We may have a life of victory even unto the end. There comes the story of the tailure, but not as an example. God save us from taking the failure5 his book has recorded as our example instead of our warning! It is a very serious danger to Christtans. And then He leads us on every here and there in the Bible, through fine vistas, such as in the Boo:, of Ruth, in the Song of Songs, in Hosea, and elsewhere, especially in the great song of love which has its consummation at the end of the Bible in the marriage of the Lamb. Then we have the diary of Christ in the Psalms. and the heart of Cbrist unveiled to us. Then come the three book~ of Solomon-first the avoidance of evil, then th~t wisdom is better, and then the Song of Songs. There is a Sabbath of sabbaths, and there is a song of the consummat€'d union of our hearts with our Lord and Saviour. Then come the prophecies of the coming of our Lord, with God's terrible denunciations of sin, and then for several hundred years the htJok of revelation is sealed. The Four Gospels. . BY R, PEARSALL Sl\BTH. The portion ~f the Bible I would immediately ·call your attention ·to. is the four Gospels, which are the four narratives of our Lord's life. If you want a very vivid picture for a photograph, you take a stereoscope, and, looking with two eyes from two standpoints, the figure is projected into likelike distinctness ; and so our God has given us four lives of our Lord Jesus Christ, each distinct, each portraying especially one side of his character. ,vhen l was young, I read often the life of the great hero of American history, George Washington. There was one biography written by a jurist, a Judge of the Supreme Court of the United States, which naturally looked at the character of Washington as~ a statesman. There was another, written by a .soldier, which looked at the character of Washington as a general. There was another, written by a politician, describing his political career; and another brief narrative, written by his private secretary, describing his life at home. Each one was a distinct life, giving the outlines of his history, and bringing all the different features into promrnence. You have four pictures of a landscape. One has the castle in the fourg-round, and the rest is thrown into shado~. Another has the town with the castle in the distance; 1~75, another gives the beautiful woods with the rest thrown in the shade; another is executed having the sparkling waters in the foreground, aud all else thrown in the background, each presenting a picture of the same landscape ; and to have a vivid idea of it we should have all four. The Holy Spirit has given us through four diffPrent medium::. the story of our Lord 1s life. Who were the writers? The first was an officer of the Homan Government; the second was a servant; the third was a physician ; the fourth wa5 a man of philosophic character and loving temperament. The first naturally gives the character of our Lord Jesus Christ as King, and his pedigree is traced from King David -as •a king descended from a. king. The second of these biographies is written by the servant John Mark, who gives no pedigree of 011r Lord, but commences with a vivid picture and reswne of his miracles and works . The third delineates the picture of our Lord as the Man Christ Jesus, and there we find the tender picture of the prodigal son. In the fourth we find the pedigree of Christ traced all the way back to the head of tbe human race, Adam. It says, "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." It at once commences with Christ's divinity. I could trace these things more fully, but the purpose of this meeting does not admit of it. Hawaiian and United States Postage Tr~aty. In these days, when postal treaties are bt'ing re-adjusted and settled, we do hope the proper officials will remedy one evil connected with our present postal law. It refers to newspapers, requiring a prepayment of two cents on papers sent to the United States, and four cents to Eu rope. This law is most inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person in the United States would send a newspaper hither, he is not required to hunt up a two cent Hawaiian postage stamp; now why should the good people of the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only two cents Hawaiian, but two cents Anierican. This matter requires looking into. Ought not the letter postage to be reduced to come intoharmonywithallcivilized nations? Postage laws and treaties will never arrive at their proper basis until the simple principle is adopted, that each nation pays and col.: lects its own postage, and then a lette~ be allowed to go the ends of the earth and ovet the whole world. This is the only fair and correct principle, then a letter or paper with Hawaiian postage g'oes to any part of the world, so a letter or paper, starting in Russia, France or China, and there the postage being paid, it may have a free transit all over the earth or may circumnavigate the We globe, without "let or hindrance." hope our island newspapers will discu~s this subject until the evil is remedied. 76 TH .E FRIEND, THE FRIEND SEPTEMBER, A Fair Chance for the Women.

Basil · Wilberforce, of Southampton, son of the late Bishop of Winchester, having recently placed in Her Majesty's hands some temperance literature, has received, through Sit Thomas Biddulph, the following gracious reply: 04 1 am desired to thank you for placing in Her .Majesty's hands works on a subject of the deepest importance to her and to every one in thi s country. It is impossible for the Queen not to be grateful to those who endeavor to mitigate an evil of such magnitude as the widely-spread intemperance which unfortunately prevails." , I [Cr The heart, like the watch, will be apt to go down ; therefore must be ever and anon wound up by prayer and meditation . • • THE FRIEND, S E P T E ~I B E R , I 8 7 5.

Judd's Ninety-Third Birthday. Three years ago it was our privilege to chronicle the "Grandmother's Tea-party " in honor of Mrs. Bet:sy iudd's ninetieth birthday. Few then present imagined that at the end of three years relatives, friends and ne1ghbors would again a:ssemble to congratulate our venerable friend on her ninetythird birthday. The gathering this year was at "Sweet Home," the residence of the late Dr. G. P. Judd, her son. It took place on Saturday afternoon, August 28th, and a more choice and charming assemblage has rarely convened in Honolulu. There was beautiful mingling of youth and age. Mr. George Dole read a poem composed for the occasion by his father, the Rev. D. Dole. The following poem, wdtten by Miss Mitchell of Boston, was read by H. A. P. Ua'rter, Esq., and the fo!Jowing letter by the Rev. Dr. Boyd: We are gathered here to honor One whose gentle face we see,And she gives us courteous greeting, Grandmother ! at ninety-three. Long past life's allotted number, Three score years and ten of earth ; Still she lives, in quiet waiting. On thiti day that marks her birth. Time has laid a gentle finger On her pure and loving face,And her smile he has but tempered, Touching it with tenderer grace. Yet she's fought the battle bravely, Doing, bearing all God ·s will ; Recognizing every blessing,Heavenly Father! bless her still. Grant her, for the time remaining, Foretaste of 'l'hy " perfect peace, n _ Then, when earth's last work is over, A victorious release. And when time for us is ended, And we're called from earth away,Give, oh, Father, in Thy Kingdom, Room for all, she loved, we pray. RosENHEIM, Aug. 28, 1875. MRs. B. Juno-.A.ged and Venerated Friend-Allow me to tender to you my sincere congratulations upon your being permitted in health .and comfort to witness on ~arth another anniversary of your birth, and to receive the congratulations of a very large circle of loving relatives-daughter, grandchildren-added to the congratulations of numerous other friends. Not only do you know from experience the meaning of the phrase, " three score years and ten," and " four score years," but also of "four :score years and ten,'' and more. You are to be congratulated in having walked with God, in having secured 81s boon, which is life, in having enjoyed fellowship with Christ, and in being assured of His presence while life lasts on earth, and in a higher degree when it gives place to life in heaven. J rejoice with you also in your having led ;a useful life. If you had done nothing else than to give birth, culture and education to your late distinguished and venerated, and highly u~eful son, Gerrit, you would deserve to be congratulated on that account. Would that he were here to-day to join in our congratulations upon the past, the present, and in our hearty good wishes for the future. I rejoice that in the sunset of life you are blessed with the presence and tender love and kind offices of daughter and granddaughter, and with the s~mpathy, and prayers, and a.ttentions of related families; but, above all, that you have our loving regard and daily prest=rnce and care of an Almighty Saviour, in view of whom you may confidently and gladly say, "Though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, [ will fear no evil, for Thou art with me : Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the honor of the Lord forever." In being able to say this, through faith in your Redeemer, you are to be congratulated on this joyful day, though it should prove the last of the kind on earth, the great event of passing comfortably the • remaining part of your journey, is to look, not at the things which are not seen, the former being temporary, the .latter eternal, so that when at length " the earth]y house of your tabernacle shall be dissolved,'' you shall "have a building of God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens." May this, my aged friend, be your happy experience-may you have grace to bear humbly and patiently, and even joyfully, the infirmities and trials of advanced life, and through Christ to triumph over death itself, as only an event needful to introduce you to the higher and nobler life of the heavens, where you shall join the loved ones that have gone before you. Please accept my best wishes and prayers, and those of my family, for a happy future. Very truly yours, ure, so far as Hawaiians are concerned. The Privy Council has authorized the Hawaiian Commissioners to draw $4,000 for this purpose, and appointed a committee to expend that money. Unless, however, the community vigorously suEitain this committee, but little can be expected. We fully believe that if the proper steps are now taken there need be no failure ; but now is the time to plan and to work. In referring to the published Programme of the U. S. Commission in Philadelphia, we discover that a space amounting to 3888 feet has been set apart for the " Sandwich Islands." This space is Sandwiched between Liberia and Hayti, now unless we bestir ourselves we shall be entirely overshadowed by the Liberians and Haytians. If awake we can make a good show. As we have seen no programme of what the Hawaiians can do, we would suggest as follows: I-Specimens of Sugar from all Plantations. 2-Specimens of .Coffee. 3-Specimens of Rice. 4-Sper.imens of Woods. 5-Specimens of Ferns. · 6-Specimens of Bool,s in Hawaiian. 7-Specimens oJ Newspapers in the English and Hawaiian languages. 8-Specimens of Lava from the Volcano. 9-A large lVfap of the Islands.

Ne.ver was modesty so modest,-stood at his feet,-stood behind h.im,-stood behind him weeping: anly · God can interpret the fo.11 meaning of such tears. The cold-eyed Pharisee saw nothing in her hut a "sinner;" Christ saw a wonia,n, flesh and blood of his owner mother, and his great gentle heart was shaket1 with unutterable pity. The Pharisee saw his opportunity; like all little natures, he knew more of 10gic ,than of philanthropy, and instantly he set up :this argument: "This man, if he we,re a prophet, would have known who and what manner of woman this is that toucheth.

The bond of union is essentially personal. The love of each heart is lavished upon him. All low motives are expelled by a pure, intense, ever-deepening love.
