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. |

We have great sympathy for a scholarly missionary labouring on those remote islands when he desires to examine books for reference. In a private letter. he refers to his wish but inability to examine Hale's " work on the languages of the Pacific." '· Asiatic Researches,''" Fornander's Book,'' &c. He expresses the wish that some one would start a '' Quarterly,'' in Honolulu, to gather up facts and theories rehiting to Philology and other subjects. He thus compliments the FRIEND, which '· years since, was newsy and juicy in facts of this Island world. As I turn over old files, l see many facts gatheree and worth ke.e ping. It seems to me they should be put into Public Libraries." We would add that files of the FRIEND are now in the British Museum Library, National Library of France, American Board Library. Boston; Antiquarian Library, Worcester' Mass.; Library of Amherst College, and Government Library,Jfonolulu. We hereby call the attenfion of Curators of Public Libraries, to the fact that complete files of the FRIEND, from 1852 to 1882, or for thirty years, Second Series, will be fnrnished at $1 per year or total $30. Apply to the Editor. Mortlock speechfai-to means come here, as fai-la means to go away. In the Ponape speech ape-to to come here, and ade-la to go away are evidently from the same roots, but ·th h' f h d. · d w1 t is urt er istrnctlon, ape-to an apela are used only in respect to the second rank of chiefs. In the Yap language fallek means to make, as a canoe, but pere in the language of Ponap~, from the same radices k excepted means to hew timber. In Ponape only by children to address that pHent with, while another term is used for father proper. Pul in the Yap language, and pulan of the , ancient Ladrone and bulan of the .Tagala, ;he most important dialect of the Phillippine islands, and bllletn of the old Mal ,y tongue, are the common terms for Moon, but in the P@nape dialect pul means the young moon, more strictly the green moon, as pul is the word for green or unripe fruits .

In t:1e Gilbert dialect ika means fish. in the Marshall islands it is ·ik, in the Strong's island it is ik, in the Mortlock it is ik, but in the Ponape dialect It is mani, while ik means the tail of a fish. Then while in the other dialects ik or ilea is the general term for fish, and on Ponape it is mctm. yet there is one va1·iety of fish here that takes the name, ik-rnong. In the Gilbert tongue moan means in the begi11ning of a thing or discourse in the Ponape dialect moan means simply before one as to time or place. In the Mortlock ·tongue kijakij means small, little, while in the Ponape it means a piece of a thing. ln the Strongs island tongue eot means a stone, rock; but in the Pon·ape pat slin,q and wot, sma'll stone, or painwot means a sling-stone.

Or take that other term the word for moon. As we have seen in some of the d ialects this '"is Pulan or Bulan, the same radices of course. But in the Ponape dialect, the term for the new moon is pitl.

T:DoANE. In I THE A Missionary Lady's Reflections. As I am resting this afternoon, there comes to my mind an artic le I read a few days since. "The Two Grave-yards." One upon the sloping grassy b;1nks of one of our beautiful rivers (in the United States) where are liiid to rest,' many of those who laid down their lives to save their country, crowned by wreaths and ornamented by all that love and sympathy can suggest, is that graveyard, and m ,ny are the tears that watered it. The other upon a Coral island, bene:i th the full blaze of the equ ,1torial sun, within a stone's throw of the rolling ocean . and shaded only by the waving r,alm. Here have been laid to rest two who laid down their lives to bear the light of life to the benig hted Is landers of the Pacific .My thoughts wander away to two f"Chool houses. The one a bPautiful brick building- situated upon n gentle rise of land, in one' of our thriving Western towns. From the third story windows of that, the eye can span many miles of rolling prairie, dotted here and there with farm houses and groves. and in ~umrner, thousands of acres of waving grain. All the comforts and aids which have been invented for both teachers and pupils, are to be found within its w,11s. Four hundred drink there of the " Pierian Spring," passing from the first day at school to the day when they are prepared for the University. The picture of that building in my tropic home. reminds me of four very pleasant years of a teacher's life. The other upon a small island in mid ocean, situated upon a grassy plateau, some sixty feet above sea level. Its walls are ot pol~s a bout the size of one's wrist; the roof is of thatch ; the floor, doors and windows were imported. It is supplied with wall maps and globe. The view from this is vastly different from the first. Up.on the one side lies the mighty deep, with its ever restless waves dashing upon the reef. breaking in beautifu I foamy spray with constant music. Upon the other, rises the mountains, thickly wooded to their summits. In a cluster stand two neat board houses for thf' missionaries and eight or ten native houses for the pupils. Not less difference do we find when we look within; seated upon benches. or the floor, are thirty or more, dark-skinned children of the tropics. Among them are thre~ or four ha bies, who lie upon theit- mats and sleep, cry or play, as suits their fancy. But not more evger and persistent in the acquisition of knowledge, are any of the pupils in the home land, and no less of a rileasure do we tind it. to assist them. L. S. CATHCART. Strong's Island, or Kusaie. An American Missionary in New Zealand. A very pleasnnt meeting was held at the Congregation,11 Church. Beresfort st., Auckland. N. Z, on the evening of January 27th. The objects of the meeting were of a varied and unusual character, viz: to welcome the pastor, Rev. J. Robertson M. A., and his wife on their rPturn from.their summer bolid11y in Australia; to welcome Rev. J. T. W. Davies M. A .. the former pastor, who, after an absence of five years, was visiting his friends in the s~ene o·f his earlier labors; and to say· 11 good bye'' to Rev. R. W. Logan and Mrs. Logare. of the A. B. C. F. M ., who had been ordered away from Micronesia FRIFJND, ~J!RCH, 27 1 S 8 2. on account of Mr. Logan's very serious illness, and who had been spending a few months in Auckland, where they had made many friends, and where M.r. Logan's health had been to a very great extent restored. Tea was served in the Hall adjoining the Church, and a large number partook of the good things provided. After tea an adjournment was made to the Church, ,vhere a very pleasant evening was spent. Capt. Dalley, the Senior Deacon, took the chair, until he had given, in the Church's name, 11 very hearty welcornt=> to the pllstor and his wife, when he resigned it to Mr. Robertson. .N. cordial walcume was then given to Mr. Da-vies, who delivered a short address. :Mr. Robertson then sa1d, that a few rnontbs ago some strangers had arrived in Auckland seeking health, who were no ·strangers now. Mr. and Mrs. Logan had been only a short time amongst them, but they had been long enough to cause them to think of them with esteem and apprecifltion, and though they knew the visit was only to be short and were glad Mr. Logan's health was so far restored as to permit him to start for his home in Arrnwica, yet they felt sorry to be ca lied upon to say good bye, They did so, hoWt?ver, praying God's guidance and blessing for them, a safe passage and a happy meeting with friends at home. Several friends spoke very cordially of Mr. Logan and his work, and expressed gladness at having had the pleasure of know!ng him and Mrs. Logan. The address which met with the most enthusiastic reception was that of Mr. Firth, who thought friendly greetings should be conveyed by .Mr. Logan to the great American people. He trusted the two English speaking nations would always be knit together in love, and that the friendly feelings existing between them would deepen and widen until at last, all prejudice being broken down, they would be true comrades and brothers m every good work. Mr. Logan who was warmly received said, a few weeks ago he would have stood on that platform feeling an alien. Now he felt as one of them. He had come to know and to love them. He desired to thank them for their kindness to him and his, during his stay amongst them, and prayed that God would reward them for it. Before Mr. Logan w is c-dled on to speak, the pastor said he thought it would be in accord with the feeling of the meeting if some such resolution as the followinl5 ·were presented. He therefore read it, and asked them to expess their opinion by vote, when the resolution was unanimously cilfried. Resolved, That this Church afld Congregation desires, prayerfully and affectionately to commend to the lovmg care of our Heavenly Father, our friends Rev A. W. Log--111 and Mrs. Logan and their children. While expressing great sympathy with them on account of Mr.Logan's ill11e:S"s, which seemed .to d1·1 ve them to these shores, we are glad that this has been overruled by God so as to give us the pleasure of knowing them, and we heartily rejoice that Mr. Logan's health 1s so much better for the change. We pray that a safe passage may be granted them to their home in . America, that perfect hea Ith may be restored and that a long life of usefulness may be in store for them. •' This Church al so desires to convey through 1\1.r. Logan its cordial greeting to the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions, and to say that, while we sympathise with them on account of the interruption to Mr. Logan's work in Microneaia, we are glad to have had the opportunity of knowing him and Mrs. Logan, and that we hav€l been very pleased to hear through him some account of the work the Board is doing for Christ in foreign lands. W, e pray that God's best and richest blessing8 may more and more abundantly attend all the operations of the Board.'' China lost what Africa gained. In reading the Life of Livingstone, by D1·. · Blaikie, of l~clinburgh, published in the Seaside Library, we met with an incident worthy of special noti~e. It appears, that the great African Explorer, had his attention called to foreign .Missions,• by reading the Gerinnn .Missionary Gntzlaff's Appeal to the churches of Britain and America in behalf of the 400,000,000 of China ! "The claims of so many millions of his fellowmen and the complaints of the -scarcity of well qualified missionaries," soimpl'essed the mind of young Livingstone, at the age of about 21, that he was led to devote his life to the foreign missionary field. His design was, to have gone to China, but the Opium War seemed to interpose insuperable obstacles, about the time he was prepared to go to China as a Medical Missionarv. What China lost Africa gained! G~1tzlaff's Appeal was not lost, but gained for the Dark Continent the great African Explorer and Missionary : " The Life of Livingstone," to wl.iich we now refer, can be purchased for twenty cents, and the amount of useful and entertaining reading to be purchased for that small sum is quite remarkable !

MARCIi_ '1' 8 E 30 EDITOR'S 'l ABLE. "NEw BooKs ."--The flood of New books drifting in various ways to our table, is somewhat bewildering, if one would give each a suitable and proper notice. Before us lies '' Studies iri German Literature . By B..,yard Taylor,.' published by Pu_tnam & Sons ?f N. Y. and now for sale at •' Th rum's," m Fort Street. This Volume embodies a most choice, charming and instrnctive course of Lectures on G erman Literature, by the late Minister at Berlin, whit:h he dehv( red before the studeuts at Cornell University. Such reading will surely be appreciated by all who aspire to a knowledge of general literature. Mr. T aylor's remarks are most interesting and suggesfo·e upon Goethe , Luther, Richte, Lessing. Herder, Klopstock and many other::-;, famous among the lights in European Schola rship and Authorship. Side by side. with this work of Tay ]or's lies another of exactly 1he opposite nature, and yet equally worthy of being read, viz., "The New Hebrides and Christian Missions," by Robert Steel D. D , published by Nesbet & Co. of London. This is a beautifully printed and illustrated volume of ne,1 r 500 pages . Dr. Steel is a Presbyterian Pastor of St. Stephen's Church in Sydney N S. W ., and Professor of Theology of St Andrew's College. This volume introduces the reader to a phase of Polynesian life in the South Seas, as nearly antipodal to the literary and religic,us life of Europe, as the South Sea Islands are opposite to the Alpine Mountains of Europe. We are fond of reading books so exactly opposite in their character. Yet there was a time when our Gothic annd Saxon ancestors were no more elevated in morals and learning than the inhabitants of the New Hebrides Islands, or Papua. This work we also commend to the perusal of our readers, as well as that of Bayard Taylor. Newton and CowJler, [ A rnerican Paper.] Paganism preserves the ashes of the dead: Christianity embalms the memory of the just. John Newton, Vicar of Olney, and afterward rector of St. Mary's Woolworth (England), is well known to the Ch 1uch by his rem ,irkable conversion, and his writings; especially for his beautiful devotional hymns which have found their way to almost every land, until his name bas ber.ome a household word. Men like John Newton belong to no one particular generation, denomination or nation; but to mankind at large. Newton's life is too remarkable in all its circumstances to be treated episodically, or epitomized in any one place. He wa~ a sailor on a slave-ship; became (to use his own remarkable words) an infidel and a libertine, stamed with vice in its most disgusting forms sunk so low as to be shunned by even tne slave-traders on the African coast, by the slaves themselves-a servant of slaves in Africa, without food. without clothing . "yet by the rich mercy of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, preserved, restored. pardoned, and appointed to preach that faith he so long labored to destroy.'' After his conver8ion he seemed to enjoy a 1882. perpetual i-:erenity and sun~hine of spirit-a blessed faith and trust; a full assurance of hope. in such singular contrariety to his intimate friend, the poet Cowper, whom a remarkable Providence bad placed under his roof. Cowper'5 early life w,· s ns rure as Newton 's was vile. His sufferings from extreme mental and nt> rvous depression were almo5t unequalled . C louds and darknE!ss were indeed round :lbout him . and in the words of his own beautiful hymn : "God moved in a mysterious way." in his dealings with his child. Desrair fixed her iron hand upon him; nC'vf' r was the cloud lifted till he fel l asleep in Jes ,, s, 11nconc1ous of the grPat change a\\aiting him. until the gloriPs of the invisible World burst upon bis redeemed spirit. Mr. Newton bad established prayer meetine-s at Olney. Mr. Co},,per early took an active part in these meetings. It was for th Pse meeting th ;i t they tcgether composed the Olney hymns. While Cowper sings in mournful stains, Where is the blessedness I knew, When first I sought the Lord ? Newton gives his QWn rich experience, embodied in his beautiful hymn, writfen after the death of his beloved wife ; of which we give the closing verse : " Though vine nor fig-tree neither r.rheir wonted fruit should bear, Though all the trees should wither, Nor flocks nor herds be there. Yet God the same abiding, His praise shall tune my voice. For while in him confiding I cannot but rejoice." Tbe following copy of an autograph letter explains the foundation of his faith and trust : DEAR MADAM- The Lord is CTracious to me. When I hear other people ~peak of their doubts and fears, 1t appean to me that were it right for any person to give w:1 y to doubts who feels hi er.self a sinner, and believes that Jesus is a hie to save, there is no one who has stronger causes for doubting than myself. And ye.t somehow I hardly know what it is to doubt either of my acceptance or of my perseverance; not bec::w~e l have attainment8 to rest in,-for I am still vile and inconsistent ;-not bec,i use L have enjoyed such ~triking manifestations of the Lord's favor, and such spiritual conso ations as ought to exclude all hesitation, for in these things I am kept very short. But on what side of my experience c..,n my doubts properly fix? I feel and own myself a sinner. Qfrtainly I cannot be mistaken on this point. I read that Jesus is the Saviour of sinners, and from the views l have of him, as his person, offir.es, sufferings and glory are describ ed in the Bible, I cannot doubt of his ability to save to the uttermost. Were it p0ssible th ,, t I could be deceived in this article. I must ascribe the deception to the scripture. for I am sure I do not think more highly of his power and sufficiency than the 8cripture warrant me. Rather my conceptions of him are very faint and narrow, compared to what they ought to be, if the Bible is to be credited. Shall I then doubt his willingness ? Methinks after what he has repeatedly said upon this point, it would be less dishonorable to him to question his power than his readiness to save. If he is the Trnth, shall I clw·e to contrad ict his solemn reiterated assurances that '• Whosoever cometh to him he will in no wise cast out.'' Nor can I we11 doubt that he has so far subdued my natural pr~judices against him ;i s to make me willing to come to him. For I long stood it out against his invitations, and disdained the thougH of being indebted to him for salvation, and I should have done so to mv latest bre ,, th had he not made me willing 'in the day of his power. How can I doubt my owr1 fet,lings? I have been self condemned, cast off from every shadow of hope but what I found in bis promise. I have been on the point 01· perishing. and like the man-slayer with the avenge1 of blood at his hee ls, I fled for refuge. I know as well as that I an, wriring that there was a time, yea, that there have been many tirnes. when I have been encouraged ;ind enabled to commit my soul, my a il into his hands. And therefore if he is able to save, if his word is to be truded it seems l must be s·1fe. The number or the magnitude of my sins, and the discoveries I have da il v made of new evils in my heart might indeed, condemn me a thousand times over, if 1 was to be judged by the law. But they have nothing to do, as I apprehend, with the gospel, they only prove that my disease is very inveterate, which is no bar to my healing, if the Pnysician I apply to is infalliable ;,ind almighty, and determined not to cast out a single patient that seeks his help . This is all I have to say for myself. He has given me a desire of being saved in his own way. The knowledge of his rerson. work and promise, constitute a thr:: fold cord (not easily broken) which he hi · •elf threw out to rn·e, and put into my h ,rd, when I was on the point of p2ri~hing ti-, 1he grea! waters of guiltand<listr -ss. If, ,, £ er 3:11 th18' I should be lo5t, would it not bi? a dishonor to_ his veracity? And how would 8a tan trrnmph, not only over me, hut over him likewise could he say : ' Now I ha~e one i~. my power who trusted in Jesus for his salvation, and ventured all upon his word and finds h_im~elf disappointPd." No, 1t cannot be. Till the enemy Cl-I n prove that Jesus did not die, or did not rise from the de<td', or thnt he said more than he meant, or more than ire was able to perform, I have good ~eason to h?ld f'.1st my confidc:nce. I am with much srncenty, dear Madam; your affectionate and obliged servant. Olney, July l6, 1778. JoHN NEWTON. FLORIST.-\Ve are glad to learn that Mr. John H.
