Friend, 1876-09

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.

Long bas been the slruggle to acco1J1Plish the ne2otiation. It is good twenty :years since Judge Lee went to Washington on his m.ission, and was then confident of success. He has been followed by Judge Allen, Judge Harri1:1, Hon. J. Mott Smith, W. M. GiLsou, Esq., Hon. II. A. P. Carter, and others unofficially. Having so recently visited Washington, we can appreciate the tryini and perplexing work which has been accomplished. In the final passage of the treaty, we can well imagine t,hat Judge Allen, the Hon. Mr. Sargent and others must have worked with much skill and wisdom.

There is much over which the eye of pity: may weep, and which causes a blush of :shame, yet there are brighter views which may be taken, and such as are most hopeful and encouraging. Although passing rapidly from city !o city, spending only a day or a Sabbath rn one place, yet J have been striviqg to learn what are some of thP great iess011s which God, io His wonder-working providences, was now teaching the chw~b and the ::Yorld. God is acting and working through human society and htnnan organizations. I cannot for one moment doubt but that 0-od is con trolling and guiding this vast and compli cated mechanism of the world's affairs. I am coming more and 1nore to view human society as one vast organism, a~imated by the spirit of God, or unde1: His supreme control. Human society is not a dead and inert mass, but a living, throbbing, pulsating body, each member of which is acting his part, and most responsible part to a great end. We are f10t separated and isolated atoms resembling grains of sand qnly touchin(J' each other exttjrnally, bqt connected together by rnaqy links, bands and ligatures. UurinO' the months which have elapsed since I 1:ft the islands, and until my return, I have endeavored to be a close observer of passing events. I have en_joyed rare opportunities for seeing a gatherrng of the nat10ns aro4nd one of the most, or perhaps I may say, the most remarkable exhibition of ~he skill, labor and genius of the world which was ever made. There have been in former tir~es exhibitions of a nation's growth and wealth. It has ap.peared what orie nation could achieve. or had accomplished, but now the nations of the world have made an effort to exhibit the w,orld's standing. What now are some of the great lessons taught by this immense gathering and herculean e~ort to exhibit the products of the various- nations of the earth? Although this exhihition has occurred in America, and uponr A~erican soil.\ ~e.t it is' rnost . strict1_y an in tem ation al affau. I canno t v1e\\' thi s T H E ~, It I E N IJ , 74 vast exhibition as merely materialistic, merhanical, mercenary-God, as ,~ell as man, has a hand in this movement. It has bearings upon the church and the cause of truth, while even I cannot but view it with reference to its remote bearings and effect upon the great missionary question, a question inferior to no other which can be con tern plated by the human mind. Most questions which absorb the thoughts and occupy the minds of men, are of a transitory and temporary nature, but this question ot missions touches the world in its most essential and important points, and extends forward in its far- reaching results 10 the end of the world, nnd the consummation of all things. CENTENNJ4,L AND KNOWLEDGE. The first thought to which I would now call your attention is this, that during this Centennial year there is to be a vast in- crease of ~tseful lcnowled,qe wnon,q the notions of the- em·th. The Centennial Exposition is now accomplishing this most desirable result. Thousands and hundreds of thousands will leave their homes and travel this year, who never before imagined that it was possible for them to go beyond the smolt-.:! ascending from their hearth-stones. Thi'3 is true, not onl v of Americans, but of a multitude of visit~rs and tourists from Europe, Australia, India, Chin;, Japan and the islands of the sea. From the day these visitors leave their homes in rnmote parts of the world until their return, they are gathering up useful knowledge which they will take back with them to be diffused abroad among their neighbors and friends. After this manner, knowledge-scientific, liternry, historical and religious-is to be most marvelously increa.s ed. This knowledge, in due time, will be utilized and made subservient in a thousand ways to benefit and ameliorate human society. No one sight is more common in all the grounds and bmldi11gs, from day to day, than the great number of persons taking down notes and recording their impressions. Many are doing this for private reference, and others for publication; but all in order that they may return home freighted with usetul information which is to become a matter of conversation in numberless family-circles and neighborhoods throughout the wide world. How wonderfully will be increased in this way the range of topics upon which men, women and children will hereafter converse. The tone of conversation will naturally become more varied, elevated and profitabie. Every department of human invention is to be discussed. until much more useful information permeates the common mind and all ranks in society. Different visitors will compare notes and draw inferences which will become part of the ammmt of b uman knowledge. SABBATH QUESTION. This knowledge will not relate exclusively to machinery, inventions and material interest8, but questions of a moral and a religious nature are to be discussed. As an ill.ustration, take that relating to an observance of the Sabbath.

Often as I swell of the inco~ning Sabbath wave a grand walked through that department, I was imonward movement as it came sweeping over pressed with its stately and grand movethe b;nrier reefs of infidelity, atheism, im- ment.

The idea was grand, and the result wonderfully satisfactory. Passing from this department and visiting the little modest edifice where bibles were sold and given away, I beheld a source of moral power vastly more grand and magnificent than any display of mechanical forces urged forward by steam. Blind and exceedingly stupid it appears to me must be that man, who does not recognize the Bible as the great source of moral power in America and the world. It has made America, Germany and England superior to all other nations in their systems of government, education and whatever contributes to a•nation's true grandeur and nobility. When this fact is <luly set forth and carefully considered, it appears to me the cau::;e of missions and true religion will haYe a momentous impetus given to them by this centennial exposition. With the increase of every species of knowledge, but particularly knowledge relating to morals, education, and true religion, tl1e world is to be lifted up to a higher plane. It is to be made more and more manifest that knowledge is power, and that ignorance is the foundation of much of the misery, crime and sorrow which now afflict the nations; hence efforts will hereafter be more energetically nut forth to remove ignorance and counter~ct the evils which exist among the nations, and on the other hand truth and whatever tends to promot~ virtue and good morals, will be encouraged. The cause of true religion will thereby be wonderfully advanced. prayer, saying, "Our Father," we do thereby include within this petition every dweller upon the earth. Does the sim_ple word oit1· include merely the members of our own family, neighborhood, village, town, city, state, nation? No, certainly not; but it embraces all of our fellow men, to whatever nation or tribe they may belong. The whole human race forms but one great family, of which God is the Father-He is "Our Father in heaven." This idea is quite too much ignored and Jost sight of I think, the tendency of the great gathering at the Centennial will be to bring into marked prominence this forgotten sentiment. CENTENNIAL AND FRATERNIZATION A1'10NG NATIONS. CENTENNIAL AND CHRISTIAN UNION· Ao-ain 1 would remark. There is certainly a te;dency in our day to bring all true and evangelical Christians into gre~ter harmo~y. The centennial has done and 1s now domg ml'l.ch in this very line. As Christians of the various parts of the ]and and the world come to understand each other better, they will be found to be more free, open and cordial in their fellowship and intercouse. The more Christian intercourse is promoted and encouracred, the Jess manifest will appear those di~isions and sectarian party prejudices which have for so many ages alienated the friends of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Already the Centennial has done much to brino· the North and South together. It is quite i~possible for those living in the South and the North to meet together on the Centennial grounds and not part better friends. Both parties will return to their homes with more kindly feelings towards each other. What is .true of the inhabitants of different parts of America is still more trn~ of those comincr from remote parts of the wide world. God "bhath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed and the bound::; of their habitation; that they would seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after Him and find Him, though He be not far f~om ever_y one of ?s." Every movement then tn the _lme ?f brrnging the nations together and rnducrng them to become better acquainted with each other is good, and it ought to be encouraged. All are members of the one o-reat family, and all mav offer the same bprayer and say, "Our Father which art in heaven." When we, or our fellow Christians, differing froi:n us in color, nationality and 8ect, offer this S E P 'I, E ~1 B E R , I Finally, this gathering is to have a good infl1rnnce in promoting a better acquaintance among the members of various nationalities, and will lead to a more full The Apostle appreciation of each other. Paul exhorts to "honor all men." Now we have come to despise some men and some races, Chinese and African. This is wrong. Man is to be respected and honored, because he is a man-a fellow member of the human race,-a candidate for eternity. Nationalities are brought into prommence about which but little was known by the generality of Americans an_d Europeam:. How few have heard of Orange Free State of Africa? Yet as one enters the Main Building, products of Orange Free State are upon exhibition. The same may be said of many other exhibits. Hereafter the Allstralian Colonies, the Kingdom of Hawaii, China, Japan and other nationalities are to be made known and appreciated. Americans and Europeans are quite too much possessed with the idea that because they are great in armies and rn,vies, they are vastly superior to other nations; but they will learn that all the taste, culture, refinement, talent, skill and ability are_ not exclusively confined to Anglo-Saxons. I honestly think the gre:it Centennial will tend to take the conceitself-conceit--from Americans and Europeans. It so, much real good· will be the result. Visitors will go to their homes in America, Europe, Asia, Africa and the islands of the sea, wiser and better men-more humble, more sensible, more appreciative of others, more conscious of their own defects and short comings, and more aware of the good qualities in the characters of others. Travel is said to liberalize Hnd refine a man. Now this great Centennial gathering will have this result upon an enlarged scale. The friends of every department of science, knowledge, invention and improvement are awake. During this season there have been held special conventions for the discussion of every important subject. The friends of temperance have had their convention, so also have literary men-authors have had their special gathering. Physicians have come togeiher to compare their notes. On the very last day of my stay in Philadelphia I visited Old Independence Hall, where the J?eclaration of Independence was original!} signed, and where the Fourth of July exercises were this year held, and there I found crowds of visitors; and in Carpenter's Hall, n,ear by, _was convened a P~ace Congress or Convent10n, where the evil s of war were I S 7 6. denounced and the blessings of Peace advocated. All these conventions, gatherings, meeti11~s and discussions cat)not but result in much good to the cause of educatior:, good _morals, advancement of science, invention, and t;--ue religion throughout the wide world. The nations of the earth are coming to understand each far better than formerly. The force of public opinion is becoming felt all over the world. As many run to and fro and knowledge is increased, the world at large is vastly benefitted. It will be more and more apparent that if one nation suffers, other nations will experience the effects. Nations must now come together, they cannot remain separate and isolated. The old and exclusive policy of China and Japan has forever pas$ed away. England and America have compelled tho&e nations to join the great family of nations, and treaties have been formed with them. Now, shall America draw back from this advanced position, because the Chinese come to us with their peculiar civilization and customs? Revolutions, it is said, go not backward; neither can the progress of the age be retarded. America and Europe need India, China, Japan, as much as those nati'1ns need Europe and America. Then over all, who can for one moment doubt that God in His wise Providence is now overruling events occurring among these nations, fot His own glory and the advancement of the Kingdom of Christ. I have already referred to the prophetical sayings of Isaiah, but those of another are suggested to mind. "Thus saith the Lord," by the prophet Ezekiel, "exalt him that is low and abase him that is high. I will overturn, over.turn, overturn 1t, and it shall be no more; until he come whose right it is, and I will gi~e it him.'' Is not God doing this very thing during this centennial year? God is now overturning and revolutiornzing among the nations of the earth and preparing the way for the final coming of His Son. To thi :s grand and sublime result tend ~ll the con verging lines of Old an<l New Testament prophecy; to this end tend all the revolu.tions and wars among the nations of the earth; to this end tend all the advances made in ~cience and knowledge; to this end tend all the efforts of Christians and philanthropists, for the amelioration of the condj. tion of the hum an race; to this end tend the labors and toils of missionaries and all evangelistic ag-ents throughout the Christian and heathen '¥orld. This running to and frothis increase of knowledge-is all under the wise control of that all-wi:se and almighty Being, who originally created the universe and has sustained it throughout the long ages of eternity past and who will continue to uphold it throughout the never-ending ages yet to come. m;u- It is related that while Dom Pedro was n,t Newport, Rhode Island, be made 3, re11uest to have Oliver Car,well-an educated deaf and blind mute , of whom he had heard-visit him.

"A visit," remarks Everett, '' to the national capital is but half made unless it includes the home and tomb of Washington." With the dawn of the quiet Sabbath morning came an abatement of the intense heat which has for so many days, like the blast of a furnace, prostrated so many in all parts of the country, but especially in the cities. As I was a stranger in the city and unacquainted with the numerous preachers, I concluded to visit the Metropolitan Methodist Episcopal Church, not to see the- President who worships there, for l had read in the papers that he was out of the city, but to listen to the Rev. ·Dr. Newman, whose fame as a preacher, author, and traveler have become world-wide. I was not disappointed, as he occupied the pulpit of the church that morning. I cannot refrain from expressing my admiration of the preacher's great naturalness. In reading a hymn, passages of the Bible and the delivery of the sermon, his tones of voice and gestures were the most natural, I may remark, which I e ver witnessed in a pulpit orator. From the beginning to the end of the service there was nothing "stilted." His text was from the epistle of Timothy, "Godliness is profitable," &c. To the sermon I listened with intense interest, for it appeared to be admirably suited to a wearied, tired and anxious audience, yet fu IL of ambition and desire for wordly gain. Before the public service I stepped into the Sabbath school and heard some good singing. While standing at the door a lady kindly address,ed me, inferring that I was a stranger, and doubtless inferring that the " heart of a stranger" in any place ii:; open to sympathy, she kindly made arrangement for the sexton to provide me a seat in the church. To my surprise I learned that she was the pastor's wife,-l\1rs. Newman. Dr. Newman has just prepared a new volume of travels, relating to a part of his recent journP-y around the world. It is published by the Harpers and with this title, "Thrones and Palaces of Babylon and Ninevah." The dedication of the volume to his beloved wife is in the following words ; "To her who was the choice of my youth, who accompanied me in my ~our around the world, whose love of the beautiful, apprecia tion of th,e antique and enthusiasm in exploring, were to me a perpetual inspiration, thi& volume is affectionately inscribttd ." In the afternoon it was my privilege to accompany Rev. Dr. and Mrs. Nev."llian, about four miles out of the city, to the United States Insane Hospital, where he delivered a lecture to the inmates upon Palestine, but .e specially upon Jerusalem and its environs. Such a mode of address to those whose minds were sad and disordered, ::-.eemed in the highest degree appropriate. While in Washington it was my privilege to meet some whose acquaintan ce had been formed at Honolulu , nnd among the number were Mr. a nd Mrs , Nordhoff.

Miss F P Andre:s, ., The New Liberty Bell. A few years ago Henry Seybert, a gentleman of wealth and culture in the city Philadelphia, proposed to the city authoriti~s to furnish a bell for Independence Hall. Mr. Seybert entered into a contract with Meneely & Kimberly, bell founders of Troy, N. Y ., to cast the bell and place it in the tower 1 8 7 6. of Independence Hall. The government being apprised of d1e plans of .Mr. Seybert, four bronze cannon were furnished to carry out his ideas. Two guns, one Union and the other Confederate that had seen service at Gettysburg were selected. The other guns were a British field piece captured at the capitulation of Bu 6oyne at Saratoga, Oct. 13, 1777, and a piece used by the patriot army under Gates in the battle of Bemis Hights, and the final strt1ggle with the British army at Saratoga. The mingling of these bronze weapons of war in a new liberty bell is truly poetic, and inspiring to the popular ·heart. To carry the centennial symbolism further, but one hundred pounds of each cannon was used; the remaining metal representing the mineral wealth and grow.ing industries of the nation, the copper being taken pure from the shores of Lake Superior, to be mingled with the best of tin, fresh from the mines. After the most careful preparation the bell was cast on Saturday evening, April 22, in the presence of about a hundred ladies and gentlemen, who solicited the privilege of being present on the occasion. A large pit was dug in the floor of the foundry and the immense moulds lowered into it by a derrick. A spout was laid from the furnaca to the crowu of the mould into which the metal was to be poured. When all was ready the metal was released and ran glowing- and scintillating into the mould. lt was a supreme moment and every one present felt the inspiration. After tbe bell was cast it was allowed to lie buried in the ground for a week to cool slowly and thoroughly anneal the metal. Then it was raised from the pit, with great effort by an enormous derrick, and it was found to be sound and perfect to the great joy of all. Few appreciate the difficulty of casting a bell containing so great a mass of metal. The difficulty and danger of accident increase as the size increases. But the new liberty bell fulfilled the fondest hopes of its founders. .Meo were immediately set to work to polish the immense surface until it shone with a lustre, which fitly indicates the purity and richne~s of the metal. Its inscriptions shine out like letters of gold. They are put on with the greatest care and with a fine sense of true proportion. Encircling the crown are tbe words of Holy Writ-" Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men." On the waist, one side, is the following : "Presented to the city of Philadelphia, July 4th, 1876, for the belfry of Independence Hall, by a citizen." Underneath are the names, "Meneely & Kimberly, founders, Troy, N. Y." • On the waist, opposite side, is " 1S76," and beneath the coat-of-arms of the United States, an eagle with thirteen stars and the motto, E pliwib1.ts unitrn. The coat-ofarms is set in a shield of chased work, and is a beautiful specimen of art. Encircling the mouth is the inscription from the old liberty bell : " Proclaim liberty throughout all the land, unto all the inhabitants thereof.'' Leviticus, chapter xxv:10. Just above this inscription is a circle of thirty-eight stars, representing the States. The bell is seven feet in perpendicular height, seven feet and a half in diameter at AD VER TISEl\1.lUJTS. the mouth, and twenty-three and a half feet in circumference. At the sound bow the thickness is seven inches. All in all, it is a DR· F. B. HUTCHINSON.

Whoever looks,at those relative movements marks time. The or..1y sensible " eternal now" philosophy is kthat ever the present is God'.s time for planning and working. Relatively to other things certain acts are done and past, so that you can say that "in the beginning," or further back than you can think, God did so and £0. But not everything done by Gcid was then done; and there is no reasoq to suppose that everything was then planned. Go<l did some things once. He is doing other things now. The Savior said, ' 1 My Father works up to this time." God is constantly working. He initiates and maintains as much now as · at any time. Why is it dishonorable to him to suppose that he is constantly planning as well as working? Where is the degradation to Deity to suppose that bis thought is as fresh as his deed? One may posit fore-ordination as a specu• lation, but as dogma it is abominable. Who knows, enough of the Divine Mind to assert that that is the way of its working -no, rather, th~ way it once worked? ThP only admirable thing about fore-ordination as dogrpa is its audacity. It does violence to our religious instincts iu relegating the activity of God to past time. It is not a defi.nition of the Divim~ Mind, but its epitaph. It says not, .De'ltS est, but Deus fuit. lt is not in keeping with the facts of the .universe. Something new is always and everywhere appearmg. It may appear on the base of the old, but is new for all that. The appearance of the new increment is creation ever. The facts probably are that as much that is new has appeared to-day as ever came forth at any moment in the history of the universe. The new of to-day demands as fresh a pulsation of the Di vine W il I to bring it forth as the new of any beginning. The goings forth of the Almighty are not only "of old," but forever. To-morrow will be as new and fresh day as the earth h~s seen. To-morrow the morning stars will sing together and the sons of God shout for joy.
