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. |

'fhe open work let the shells pass in to the solid stone and out again. You see, far up, part of a battlement gone, a pillar replaced by brick-work, and some 1ight scant1ing where stone ought to be. 'f o be sure, the roof is not yet replaced, but this is hardly noticeable from the ground, as the solid arches over the church were not affecteq. by the destruction of the roof. The building teems with workmen, and soon most of the marks of war will be seen only by bright new stones that take the place of those in .. jured.

We give a description of it in the words of another: " Cathedrals have their individual charac• teristics as truly as their builders. The peculiarity of this one consists in having a kiµd of out-work of slender columns, arches, and inclosed niches, thrown like a vail of barred muslin over the fror.t. In some places it nearly conceals the background of cathedral wall, and holds the ~ye in its entanglement of beauty. Especially when the westering sun casts the shadows of this projected out-work upon the main wall it seems doubled, and the real wall almost hidden. When one ,considers that this kind of work is carried up four hundred 1:1nd sixty-six feet, the light, graceful, 'airy effect that is produced must be confessed to be indescribable. Into this delicate tracery crashed the shells and balls of the Germans in 1870. Its effects can be imagined. You can stand m one spot and count where thirty sheqs struck the spire. They tore into this slender drapery; they crashed through its gorgeous windows; they smote interior columns, leaving great ugly scars that time cannot heal. One made wild music in the organ, never intended by the builder; and on the night of .August '25, the roof over the vast church took fire. Stream& of melted copper poured down the gutters, and spires of flame leaped up to vie with the tallest spire of stone, man has ever erected. The flames ceased only when there was nothing more to burn. Still the f rench maintained a post of observation in the spire, and f)tiU the Germans _rain~ their shells upon it. The very cross on the apex was hit, and saved from falling only by the lightning-rod. They say the building wa~ struck by two · hundred and fifty shells. The Romans built on the spot a temple to Hercules and Mars. One of the statues of the former still decorates the present buildir-1g. Since 510 the site has been occupied by a Christian church. About 1015, one of those spasms of sacrifice seiied the country, and from one to two thousand men toiled at the erection of this cathedral-not for pay but for the salvation of their ~ouls. Grander than !lculptured frieze, lofty column, grand facade, and pinnacled spire, is the fact con• nected with nearly all these old cathedrals, that men toiled at their deep foundations, cut the hard stone into beauty, and lifted it into its place for the good of their souls, 'for the joy of :sacrifice. It sweetens much of the taint of blood that so deeply stains those ages. " lt is hard at first to reconcile one's ideas of a church with the multitude of possible and impoE:sible animals that these old builders scattered over their structures. You may Rtand either on the north or_ south side and count, without moving, over thirty huge animals, with heads • of bulls, dogs, bats, gnome, ang. fiends, put on , the most inconceivable bodies, and projecting two or three feet, to serve as ornaments and water-spouts. Some tear their jaws open with their hands, to let ttie water run out; others are doubled up with a perpetual belly-ache; others, again, have such an evident nausea, that a stream from the mouth is the most natural thing to be expected, They grin, leer, cock their heads one side, and seemed to roar with pain day and night, century by century. Gothic ,seems to be the right word to apply to this style. But these old builders believed that imps th_ronged the churches, so they set them to service, always on the outside-made them bearers of wnt~r-set them to do menial work. .

We are glad our mountains have not escaped her notice, although in her travels she has looked upon Mount Lebanon, the Alps, and other mountain ranges. The sun was just appearing, On the calm and lovely day, When our strong and noble steamer Entered Honolulu Bay. Just on the shore before us The half hidden city lay, Loqking green and lovely In the light of co'ming day. Behind the peaceful valley · As if to guard it, stand Those dark a_nd rugged mountains Proud monarchs of the land.

A. The "Brotherly Love,"-A Brig One Hundred and Thirteen Years Old. To render intelligible an extract from a letter recently received from a correspondent in Liverpool, we republish the following item from our May number: CAPTAIN CooK's VESSEL.-That the B1·0• therly Love, the vessel on board of which the great circumnavigator, and discoverer of New South Wales and Victoria, Captain Cook, served his time and obtained his certificate as mate, should be•:tt this time, after the lapse of upwards of a century, going on her accustomed voyages, must appear wonderful to every one-but peculiarly interesting to the colonists of the continent whose unbounded resources, through Cook's scientific genius, were opened to the world. Yet, there is the fact, that only the_other day, this fine old vessel, amidst the admiration of numbers who witnessed her departure, left South Shields for one of the ports on the With the exception of Nelson's Baltic. ship, the Victory, there surely cannot be any vessel afloat of such historic interest. This grand old hulk ought, if not preserved as a great maritime relic by the British nation, to be floating in the New World, in the beautiful harbor of Port Jackson, at Sydney. -Sydney Herald. NOVEMBER, 1877. pathizing one with another." (1 Pet. 3:8). When love is in exercise in the hearts of Christians, when every succeeding day brings a new experience of the faithfulness and loving kindness of their heavenly Father, and every succeeding night marks an advance in the pilgrimage towards the celestial city, then sympathy is easy. Then they that fear the Lord speak often one to another. T~en with the Psalmist, they de• light to make the praise of their heavenly Father glorious, and to tell what he has done for their souls. (Ps. 66 : 2 and 16). Then with tender sympathy they finu out the discouragements and perplexities, the conflicts and the triumphs, the sorrows and the joys of fellow pilgrims and strengthen them with kind words, rejoicing with them that rejC1ice and sharing the sorrQws of the sorrowful. Thus do they bear one another's burden. But in seasons of declension, when worldliness invades the church, and the love of many waxes cold, and. church members, speaking out of the abundance of the heart, cease to speak of heavenly things, and their prayers lose their fervency, and the word _of God is no longer their study and meditation, and salvation seems of Iittle importance, then is Christian ~ympa1hy well nigh extinct. Young disciples are left to get along as best they may. If any of them are prisoners tin doubting castle, no one knows it. Consequently there is no one to point them to the key of promise, by which they may unfasten the locks and make their escape. If any of them become discouraged through mauy temptations, there is no one to find it * * * * "I &end you a copy of the letter.from Jas. out, and to point them to the Lord Jesus, who was in like manner tempted, who tenV oung, Esq., owner of the Brotherly Love: derly sympathizes with all his tempted fol- · "' Dear sir: I am much obliged by your lowers, and who succors all who apply to sending me the Honolulu paper for perusal. him.

Was it strange Christian Sympathy. that the· conviction forced itself upon his mind that no one cared for his soul? BY REV. D. DOLE. To be able to exercise Christian sympathy " Bear ye one another's burdens, and so one must be in sympathy with the Lord Jefulfill the law of Christ." The law of Christ sus; must feel his constraining love, and yield to that influence. He that loves the is love. "A new commandment I give you Lord Jesus will love his image wherever it that ye love one another." "I have given is discovered; and more than this, he will you an example, that ye should do as I have love those whom the Lord Jesus loves, and done to you." Now the Lord Jesus, our for whom he died.

Pe- out; "and if any one have not the spirit of ter exhorts, " Be ye all of one mind, sym• Christ, he is none of his." " l am no stranger to your excellent paper the FRIEND, which, through the kindness of my friend Mr. Geo. Legge of Messrs. Balfour & Williamson's Home, I generally get a look at every month. In a recent issue you give an extract from a Sydney paper regarding the ship Brotherly Love, rendered notable as being the vessel in which the famous Captain Cook learned his first rudiments of seamanship. Feeling interested in that statement, I wrote to the owner of. the Brothe1·ly Love, and sent him your paper, which he read with much satisfaction and returned, accompanied with a pleasant letter and a photograph of the good old ship. She stands in ~loyd's book thus: 'Brotherly Love, brig of Shields, built in Ipswich, 1764, 214 tons; owner, James Young, South Shields.' l have much pleasure in enclosing the picture and a copy of Mr. Young's letter; they may prove interesting to some in your far away isle of the sea. The Sydney paper says something about the propriety of having the Brothe'rly Love sent out to Austra 1a as a memento of Captain Cook. How would it do, after having spent her 113 years in their stormy latitudes to have her sailing in Hawaiian waters? Surely the place where the gallant navigator met with his untimely death, (permit me to repeat the words of his excellent first lieutenant, King, on finishing his account of the tragedy' Thus perished our great, our honored commander'!) would be more in keeping with his memory than any spot in Australia.

And before each step of my onward path He causes new scenes to rise; And each joy that he sends me, comes A11 a glad and sweet surprise. I see not a step before me, As I tread out the days of the year, Dllt ,tbe pas~ is sUjl jn God's keeping, Tbe future his mercy will clear; And what seems dark in the distance l\1ay brighten as I draw near. For, perchance, the dreadful future Has less bitter than I think; The Lord may sweeten the waters Defore I sloop to tlrink; Or ifMarah must be Marah, I-le will stand beside its brink. It may be, he has waiting For the coming ofmy feet, Some gift of such rare blessedness, Some joy so strangely sweet, That my lips can only tremble With the thanks I cannot speak. Ozymandias of Egypt.

Neat· them on the sand Half sunk, a shatteJ'cl visage lies, whose frown And wrinkled lip and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which still survive. stamp'd on these lifeless things, The band that mock'd them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear; •My name is Ozymandias, krng of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty. and despair!' • Nothing beside remains.

WASHINGTON GLADDEN. What is God ? men asked. The Stoics answered and said : God is the impersonal soul o~ the universe. God is everything, and everything is God. Matte_r is divine. The soul is but more etheral matter. Stones Oh, blissful, peaceful ignorance, It's blessed not to know; and mountains, trees an•d animals, men and It keeps me quiet in those arms women are but manifestations of the diety.

He is seated on a and in jubilant readiness for Heaven.-Gon- throne. The God's surround him. He g1·e,qatfonaUst. holds the emblems of dominions in his hands. The laurel wreath is just about to be laid upon his brow. And belo\\· him there is represented the misery and soi-row of the world. Men stagger under great burdens or sit with head in hand bewailing their distress. Headless trunks lie prone on battle-fields. Old age bes·eeches war for mercy vainly; tender maidens and little children lift up imploring hands but are struck ruthlessly down. And all the time Augustus, now become a God, sits unmoved, never turning so much as one pitying glance earthward, but gazing always straight away in stolid unconcern. Such was man's idea of God till Jesus came. I have seeri another picture. It is called Christus Consolator. Christ is seated on a throne. He is Lord of all. Before him are gathered the outcast and miserable of the world. The aged man bent beneath the burden of a century, the sick man wasting with slow disease, the slave lifting hands heavy with chains, the mother weeping above h~r .dead babe-all' these are there ; and over aH the Savipr's hands are lifted and he is speaking heed and care and help for all. It is such a God men need-the <1od made maifest in Jesus Christ. Prayer into his heart is mightily real. J'here is shining hope amid the densest darkp.ess since God is such a God. IN the States, especially in New England, the Y. M. C. Associations are accustomed to make, occasipnally, a thorough canvass of of the more thickly popu]ated districs with a viP.w to arouse religious interest amongst all classes. Committees. are appointed by the State Association, of some evangelist or clergyman assisted by three or four young men, who visit a certain number of towns, staying two or three days at each place and holding meetings morning, afternoon and evening, talking also personally with as many as possible. The hearty cooperation of the local ministry is always met with. These canvasses httve been signally blessed and thousands trace their first interest in Christ to such meetings. A proposal of something of the kind in behalf of these Islands was made at the last meeting of our Y. M. C. A. We believe much could be accomplished especially amongst the native population by this kind of work and hope to see the experiment tried. ANOTHER tent service was held on the Esplanade by the Y. M. C. A. on Sabbath evening Oct. 21st. The andience was consiq.erably larger than at the previous meeting. Interesting addresses were made by .Dr. Damon, Pres. Pratt, and S. B. Dole, Esq. THERE are in the United States and Canada 800 Young Men's Chri.s tian Associa• tions with a membership of 100,000 and owning prope1·ty to the extent of $250,000,- 000. |
