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. |

It may be said of the Bethel in Honolulu, the same as was said of the Temr,le at Jerus 1lem, "Forty and six years was this temple in building." The Bethel was dedicated as a house for public worship in November, 1833-forty-six years ago. During nearly orie-half a century it has been opened nearly every Sabbath for public worship, seats free; hence, for all necessary repairs and other expenses appeals have been made to the publie, and uniformly a generous response has been made. 1t has long been apparent that some repairs were needed. The recent ,expendi,tures amount to a little over $1,200, and to m€et these bills about $1,000 has .already been raised, including the avail:: of the Fair in May. ln our next issue we shall duly report the exact amount received and how expended. The Bethel will be opened for publie :Service ·o n Sabbath morning, November 9th. 'J'he .Sabbath School will also be omitted until the opening of the Chapel for public ·s ervice ; but the Wednesday evening meeting as usual. PLEASANT READING.--In another column will be found an article from the pen of our American Minister Resident, on " Ohio Men in the Sandwich Islands." Something similar and very readable might be written about'' New York Men," "Massachusetts Men,"" Connecticut Men" at the Sandwich Islands. Among the objects of the late Fair for the benefit of the Bethel, started by the ladies of the choir and so generously patronised by the community, was the purchase of a new collection of Hymns and Music for public worship. After examining various collections, the committee finally decided upon j the one having the following title-page: HYMNS 1 AND SONGS OF PRAISE J!'OR PUBLIC AND SOCIAL WORSHIP. EDITED BY RoswELL o. · H1TcHcocK, ZACHARY PHILIP SCHAFF. EDDY. ~ew York: Anson D. F. Randolph & Company, 900 Broadway, cor. 20th St. This book of Hymns and Music has met the approval of a very large number of churches in the United States It has a wide circulation among both Presbyterian and Congregational churches. It contains 1411 hymns and 450 tunes and chants. The names of the authors are inserted, and the date when they lived. There are very many reasons apparent for regarding this collection as most admirably suited for the purposes of worship in the sanctuary. Aside from its uses as an aid to public worship, we commend the book as a beautisacred hymns for private ful collection reading. A good hymn-book is a full storehouse .of lyric poetry, in which the English ,language is now so remarkably choice and rich. Some of the hymns of other ages and other languages have been admirably translated and reproduced in our age and language. Hymns of the Middle Ages, hymns from Germany and France and other lands, now delight the modern lover of spiritual songs. Many, very many, are to be found in this volume. We commend the book both for public worship and private reading. of RAMBLES IN THE OLD WORLD-No. 34 WALKS ABOUT BERLIN. A recent French writer has said of Berlin: " Ct is a city which presents an appearance of strength and grandeur; has broad streets; long lines of houses, impressing one more by their size than by their beauty; rn no way adapted to please one. Moreover, no effort is ever made to interest one. Here there is but one object, to instruct and to command. Here they know only two elements of civilization, the army and the university, science and war, the discipline of the school and the discipline of the regiment. If Munich and Dresden are the Museums of Germany, then is Berlin the Arsenal!" This is a Frenchman's description of the Prussian Capital, and one against which much might be said. And yet there is some truth, I am forcPd to confess, in it; though with every ad vancmg year of th1:; Empire this will be less the case. 1 am made aware of the lack of the poetic and picturesque elements in the city when I take my daily walk. The city is in memories, too, military. There are few of those delight~u.l nooks which one finds in many other cltles, where one may enter into the eloquent silence of the past; few shrines before which one may bend, forgetful of all else, while " far off the noises of the world retreat.'' We have no Westminster Abbey, with irs "Poet's Corner;" no Pere Lachaise, that silent city of the silent dead; there are not here the thousand enticing rambles of Old Rome on the Tiber, or Florence on the silver Arno. Still there are some points which one seeks, with willing feet, in the city and suburbs, connected with the names and memories of men who, through especial beauty of life. or through exceptional genius, which they have known wisely to use, have now a distinguished place in the history of their race. I can scarcely think now of speaking of more than one or two of these, leaving the others, perhaps, for other rambling days, and appreciative moods. Potsdam is. as you know, a little world of Historical and Biographical interest.

Wealth flowed in upon them, their social position was that of the highest, feted by all the crowned heads of Europe. Surely, the times had changed since .MosiS, the despised Jewish boy, speaking sad mixture of Hebrew and low German, entered Berlin for'the first time! But more beautiful than all else isthe spirit of tenderest, most devoted love which animated these pages. The family bond was never broken, even through difference of religious creed. Some adhered. to their Jewish faith and ritual; others became earnest Protestant Christians, notably Felix, to whom we owe some of the most splendid creations in the whole range of Christian music; and one member of the family became an ardent Roman Cathoiic. The scene shifts in these pages from one land to another. We have delightful letters, descriptive, humorous, tenderly loving from England, from France, from Switzerland, from Belgium, from Italy. What an un, ending picture opens before us i We have spirited sketches drawn from life of Queen Victoria, F reiderick WilhPlm IV, Prince Albert, Goethe, Humboldt, Cornelius, Immermann and Heine, Cherubini, and Spontini, Thorwaldsen, Vernet. and a host of others. We are behind the scenes. We meet the great actors of the day, off the stage, and learn to know them as men and women. We listen with bated breath to the production of some great musical work awaiting the world's verdict, whose composition we have followed step by step. We hear the tumult of applause, share in the showered laurels, and have a place in the little family circle which gathers with joyful tears and smiles, to rejoice together in the stillness of home. The Mendelssohn House formed one of the most famous centers of Berlin life; all that was distinguished in science or letters or music found here a place. But it is ever about the life and work of Felix that the interest of the reader especially centers. One of his biographers has said, "The early death of Mendelssohn like that of Raphael threw all Europe into mourning." As great as his musical genius was the wonderful beauty and purity of his personal character and life, engaging and attracting all who came at all within the range of his personal influence. This is especially illustrated in the " Letters " before us, those written by him to his father and mother, and sister:sespecially that marvelously gifted sister Fanny. His life was a busy and splendidly prolific one; one which early ended, it is true, but perfectly rounded out. In England, he ·was especially loved; and his music is almost as well known abroad as at home. Among his most important works are the exquisite " Songs without words;" the music to the" Midsummer Night's Dream;" the orations of "Paulus and Elijah,''-two of the finest musical productions of any age; the music to " Antigone." It is with difficulty that I force myself to close my sketch of this remarkable family; so singularly have they fascinated me. Such lives are the glory of the human race; a stimulus to all to aspire, more and more, to the "good, the true and the beautiful." The name of Mendelssohn is still honorably known in the city which has grown to be especially identified with the family name. May we not await still further developments in a family who have risen so high ? Whatever may be the futme fate of the name, those who have g-one before have left a record not soon to be forgotten. SEGEL, THE HOME OF 'fHE HUMBOLDTS, Meadows fragrant with new mown hay; fiefds golden with standing grain; bare-footed children by the way-side, with cheeks brown with the summer sun, and lips stained red with the juice of wild berries; stately forestreaches of pine and fir; gardens bright with beds of brilliant flowers; a tiny church spire among the trees; an ancient castle and spreading park. All this lovely ldyl of the summer and the country you may have by driving an hour from your home in the city out into the suburbs. It is a delightful sur• prise-like stepping over into dream-landthis speedy deliverance-from the houses, the people, the endless streets, where you live so long, scarcely realizing that a suggestion of Paradise is within your reach if you take but a step in that direction. How near, very near, the "Beautiful" comes to us, touches us; would abide with us; lighting the shadows ·of life; lessening the friction of daily wear and tear; the wearisome, prosaic routine, if we did but know it! But then the mission and holy office of life is, after all, its discovery, and this must needs be slow. 1 can scarcely think any one fills up his years without some glimpse, even if fleeting, of the "Beautiful." Segel is a little village, on a charminglake of the same name-so near Berlin that the spires and towers of the city may be distinctly seen through the trees. Historically it is interesting, as being connected with the illustrious names of Alexander and William von Humboldt, two of the most interesting; the former, one . of the greatest men of modern times. About tbe Old Family Home of the Humboldts gathers a thousand associations connected with the ceiebrated brothers. Here William especially made his home in later life; and here a,mong the evergreens of the park they are both buried. There is a quaint and ancient stateliness about the place which I found singularly agreeable. The Manor House is preserved very nearly as in the days when William lived here. The rooms are filled with choice works of art, family portraits, statues and busts, by Thorwaldsen, Tieck and Rauch. William's study remains just as he left it. There are suggestions and reminders in the bronzes in the Pompeiian and Roman statues and sculptures of the years he spent in Italy. The bust or painted portrait of William or Alexander meet the visitor at every turn, carved or colored by some celebrated artist. A daughter of William von Humboldt now occupies the home of her father. The grounds are extremely delightful, splendid masses of shrubbery, avenues of trees, lovely lawns. Near the house is the " Humboldt Oak," a tree of giant proportions, and perfect symmetry; a world in itself of spreading branches and myriad leafy sprays, rendered doubly green by the ivy which, with years, has grown to its summit. Down a long, long avenue of elms and beeehes, of most beauti- 87 ful growth, forming such a verdant cover, that only stray arrows of sunlight reach the passer below,-.... we walk to the family bur;al place. The graves lie within a carefully kept inclosure, from the centre of which rises a lofty shaft of polished marble, above whose Doric capital stands the figure of Hope with the Lotus Flower. The original of this beautiful statue is by Thorwaldsen, and is preserved in the mansion, whose white wills we see through an opening in the trees, as if guarding the graves of the sleepers. On every side rise ancient cy()res~es, the deep green of whose somewhat sombre foliage, blends softiy _with the elms and maples in the back-ground. It is a quiet, beautiful spot; a fittrng resting place for the great men whose namPs, simply carved on the head-stones of the graves, bring many thoughts to us standing in the hush of the little sylvan temple. William von Humboldt was born in 1767, and though his name is not as widely known as that of his more celebrated brother, yet the important services which he rendered Prussia in a diplomatic capacity and the world at large as a Student of Philology, are not to be lightly estimated. He entered early upon the diplomatic career, and became in time Prussian Minister in Rome, then in Vienna and lastly in London, after which he was appointed to one of the Prussian State Ministries. During his Italian life he formed one of the most important Literary and Art Circles of Rome, gathering about him, and encouraging many of the artists of the early part of this century, who l'iought inspiration in that City of the Past. But the most important work was of a philological character. In the early history of the Science of Comparative Philology, he played an important part. His own linguistic attainments were of the greatest range and perfection; his knowledge of languages being not confined to Europe, but embracing the American, African. Asiatic 1-1nd Polynesian tongues. His philological works on language, and especially his mHster-work in reference to " The Ka wi Lauguage of the Island of Java," will always be regar<led as classics in the literature of philology. The Humboldt name is however especially dignified through the enormous and gigantic labors of Alexander. Few lives have been so splendidly fruitful in results, or more widely beneficial to the cause of scientific thought and investigation than his. To him was granted, as to- but few, the power to solve the "Holy riddles of the Universe," to wrest from the mute "Sphinx'' of the natural world the mystery of her meaning. Humboldt may be regarded as perhaps the most illustrious of those pathfinders, whose office it was to open the way to that world of splendid scientific truth, the discovery and investigation of which is the especial glory of our century. His important social position, means, wide acquaintance with men and with the world at large, together with his passionate longing to discover the secrets of new and untraveled lands, led him early to enter upon those voyagPs and journeys which were so splendidly rich in their contributions to science. Just as the last century was closing he embarked for South America, where he spent five long years, returning to Europe at the / 88 1' H ~; end of that time with treasures of infinitelv more worth to the world than the f(old · and diamonds which laded the galleons of tbe early Spanish discoverers. Enjoying the favor of the King of Prussia, he was sent on various important m1ssions which enabled him to extend his investigations. n0t alone to Europe, but also as far HS Siberia, the Chinese Borderlands and other remote regions. lntoJhese important stores of personal discovery and investigation, he threw the strong, clear li_ght of his own marvellous intellect, and the result was the most famous of his works, one of the most remarkable books of all time-the world celebrated Cosmos. It w011l<l be unwise here, within the limits of this brief sketch, to attempt anything like a description of his manifold contributions to literature and science. The whole universe furnished him materials for his work, as we read the record of his ]ife; he rises before us as a Titan intellect. He was celebrated as Philosopher, as Geographer, National Economist, Historian, Philologist; acquainted with the literature of every land-of the Old and New World, of the Occident and Orient; one who, as has been well said. was to his age what Aristotle and Leibnitz were to theirs. He lived to a ripe old age, retaining jn advanced years a singularly brilliant and active intellectual life. For years he was one of the celebrities of the Prussian Capital, whom it was regarded as an especial honor to see. The picturP of his genial. smiling and benevolent face, is still fresh in the memory of the Berliners. t, R I E N D , N O V E M B E R . I 8 79. Flowers from an Unknown Friend.

We opened our doors and looked out upon a bright world of beauty, made so by an abundance of trees, vines, ferns, shrubbery and flowers-all created by the Hand of an Unseen Friend. A morning shower added fresh loveliness to the bright aspect of surrounding nature, for myriads of sparkling rain-drops glistened like dialil'londs among the leaves and foliage. We could not but admire how wonderfully and marvelously material nature reflected God's handiwork.

Dr. Bacon, now of Norwich, Ct., and formerly of Geneva, Switzerland, to the memory of Mrs. Gould, whose labors among the orphan children of Rome have rendered her name dear to all friends of humanity in Europe and America. Long has the reading public been made familiar with her work by means of her admirable letters as pub;. Jished in the N. Y. Observer· and other papers. This volume is a most charming sketch of her life, penned by Dr. Bacon in his happiest moments of authorship, inspired by the contemplarion of the life of a truly noble Christian woman. Attached to the volume is a striking photograph of the lady, which presents us a most dignified and winning countenance. With such a face and elegant address, accompanied by a most finished education and the refinement acquired by long intercourse among the choicest of Christian people in the Old and New World, we can rPadily imagine that Mrs. Gould must have come to occupy a most enviable position in the society of Rome or wherever she moved. She was an honor to her country and an ornament to the Christian Church. Her correspondence indicates that she was well acquainted with many of • the better class of Christian workers in England and on the Continent. When there is so much published in the newspapers about the fooli~h and frivolous lives of some American ladies who visit Europe, it is pleasant to peruse the records of one whose life, character and lab~rs place her among the foremost of Christian workers of the present age. Her husband is a successful practicing physician in Rome, and it is pleasant to be retnmded of him in the perusal of this volume, for it was our privilege to have formed his acquaintance more than forty years ago, when a young physician in New York, and on one occasion to have accompanied him on his rounds in the City Hospital. · MAliINE JOURNAL.

HARE. f\ew York: G. Routledge & Sons, and 'Anson D. F. Randolph & Co. ONESS AND BUNSEN. 1879. Some years ago We •read " Memorials of That volume introduced the reader to a most choice circle ot Christians in the clerical and higher walks of English society. The volume now under review is substantially the same kind of a book, but the range of characters noticed introduces the reader to a still wider circle of the very choicest European Christian society. The life of Baroness Bunsen was spent in Wales, England, Italy, Germany and Switzerland. Her companions were Emperors, Kings, ambassadors and literary men and women who moved in the very highest circle of European society. She was the honored guest of Queen Victoria and the Emperor of Germany. Her husband was the renowned historian and Egyptian scholar, the Ambassador of Germany at Rome and in 16ndon. It is not to the public career of this noble Christian woman that we would so much call attention as to her sweet, gentle, charming Christian life in the bosom of her own family, and surrc,unded by her twelve sons and daughters. We feel quite sure every mother in Christendom would think she had a sympathising Rister in the Baroness if she were to read this volume.

"THERE is no greater mistake," said Dr. Bushnell, " than to suppose that Christians can impress the world by agreeing with it. No; it is not conformity that we want; it is not being able to beat the world in its own way; but it is to stand apart irnd above it, and to produce the impression of a holy and separate life-this only ~an give us a true Christian power." - -- - - - - - - Intelligence has been received of the death at .Jerusalem, of the missionary Bishop Gobat, of the church of England. In early life he went on a mission to Abyssinia, and was afterward sent to Palestine, where he became bishop in 1846. He was a man of decidedly evangelical princip!es, earnest in spirit and laboriously engaged in the work of missions. A German by birth, he was appointed on the nomination of the present Emperor of Germany, the naming of the bishop belonging altnnately to the Emperor of Germany and the Queen of England.- N. Y. Observer. THRICE GoLDEN WEDDING.-'fhe fiftieth marriage anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Francis Adams occurred last week. It is an interesting and very unusual fact that three golden weddings of successive generations of the same family should have been observed in the same house. That of President John Adams and his wife was celebrated on the 25th of October, 1814. That of their son, President John Quincy Adams and his wife, on the 26th of July, 1847. The third has just taken place. It will be noticed that the intervals between these occasions were respectively thirty-three and thirty-two years-almost exactly the lifetime of a generation. At the time of their golden weddings, President John Adams was seventy-nine, and President J . .Q Adams had just entered his eightieth year. Mr. Adams is se,renty-two.-Am,erican Exchange. · |
