Friend, 1878-07

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 first, the general meeting of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association, with delegates from all the Islands ; second, Ladies' Strangers' Friend Society; third, British Benevolent Society; fourth, the Missionary Children's Society. A. Pratt, Esq., as the retiring President, delivered the annual address, which was able and interesting. During the month, the school examinations are interspersed with pleasing variety. lt was our privilege to attend the Royal School, Fort Street Public School, the Kawaiahao Female Boarding School, and that at Oahu College. They were all most interesting. OAHU COLLEGE. The closing of all these examinations by " Graduating Exercises of the class of '78 of Oahu College, at Fort Street Church, on the evening of June ~0th," was most fitting and satisfactory. The people of Honolulu may well congratulate themselves in having among them a corps of able and efficient teachers in all their public and private schools. The standard of education is high, and still rising. If any child belonging to a native or foreign family in Honolulu grows up in ignorance, the fault may be laid at his or the parents' door. Schools are abundant and ably conducted, and well sustained by both Governmental and private support.

GIGANTIC SuGAR ENTERPRISE.--The man who causes one spear of grass to grow where none grew before is honored as a benefactor.

EDITOR'S TABLE. CYPRUS : lTs ANCIENT CITIES, ToMBS AND TEMPLES. By General L. P. Di Cesnola. With Maps and Illustrations. (Harper & Brothers, N. Y. 1878.) Among new books at Whitney & Robertson's, we notice General Cesnola's new work upon Cyprus. For years the newspapers have kept the reading public informed respecting the explorations which have been carried oh in that island. This volume contains a full report of what has been accomplished. The volume is most profuimly, sumptuously, artistically and elegantly illustrated in the Harprr's best style of printing and binding. A glance over this boaJ:'irm ,;;;lume is the next privilege to a visit to the island, where it was our privilege to touch on a passage along the southern shores of Asia Minor, in the month of January, 1870. Reading this volume reminds us of our visit to Lanarka, where General Cesnola was U. S. Consul for ten years. As the official duties of the Consul were not over burdensome, he found ample time to cross and recross the island in all directions, and personally examined ten thousand old tombs and many sites of old temples. The vast quantities of his discoveries and collections now make up the Metropolitan Museum of New York, besides more or less enriching the British Museum, the Louvre of Paris, and the Museums of Germany. On page 206, he refers to Dr. Friedrichs, of the Berlin Museum, with whom it was our privilege to spend several days on a voyage from Joppa to Athens. In referringto our Journal, we find the following paragraphs: 11 When the Apostle Paul, accompanied by the Evangelist Luke, made their voyage from Palestine to Rome, as recorded in the closing chapters of the Book of Acts, the historian Luke remarks, 'We sailed under Cyprus.' When making our passage from Palestine to Rome, eighteen _hundred years subsequently, we too sailed, or rather steamed under Cyprus, and came to anchor in the beau~iful bay of Lanarka, on the southeast shore. Our steamer entered the harbor or roadstead before daylight on the'morning of January 5th, 187Q, after a passage of twelve hours from Beirut. It is a beautiful bay. The surrounding country appears hilly, and in the distance mountains of moderate size rise above the hills. At present the hills appear exceedingly barren and destitute ot verdure. Our vessel came to anchor in clear and smooth water, about one-eighth of a mile from the landing place. We found here an American Consul, General L. P. Di Cesnola. • He is an Italian by birth, but was a General in the late war, and is married to a New York lady. He received this appointment at the close of the war. The salary is only $1,000 per annum, but most fortunately for the General he has succeeded in making some of the most valuable discoveries of ancient tombs, and from these he has taken relics which are of great value historically and archreologically. These discoveries relate to a remote period when the Phrenicians held the island. Some of these are of an Egyptian type, while others are of Babylonian, Grecian and Roman type; hence historically they are of great value. Already has General Cesnola opened about three thousand tombs. From these he has taken a great num'ber of specimens of pottery, sculpture, and gems set in gold. We were favored with the privilege of seeing all these specimens; which wili very soon be removed to the British Museum and the Royal Museum of Munich. "We have as fellow passenger on board the Hun,qaria, Professor Friedrichs, from Berlin, who ranks among the most learned of Europe in matters pertaining to ancient archreology. He has lectured on Grecian and Homan antiquities in the German Universities, but is now employed as curator of the Museum at Munich. Hts opinion is of great authority in all matters pertaining to the antiquity of statues, coins, gems, &c. He has purchased for the Museum of Munich the choicest specimens of General Cesnola's collection. Professor Friedrichs has given us much interesting information respecting the antiquities of Cyprus and the value of these discoveries.'' Latest News per the ';Almy."

We have rece1ved an interesting letter from the Rev. R. Lechler, German missionary at Hong Kong. Nearly one hundred Christian Chinese, men, women and children, came per the Au,gitste, which arrived here about the first of January. These Christian Chinese had been under the influence and instruction of the German missionaries, who continue to feel and express a deep interest in their converts, who have come to reside and labor on the Hawaiian Islands : HoNGKONG, 22d April, 1878.

Entire streets were blown down, John, I cannot bear this; I know not how to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved, but he that believeth not shall be damned." We think no hearer present could have been otherwise than favorably impressed with the careful preparation which the reverend speaker had made, and with the honest effort on his part to exhibit the plain meaning of the text, as uttered by our Saviour. The sentiments of the preacher respecting the guilt of the heathen and their salvation without the Gospel, would not harmonise with tbose of Canon Farrar or the Rev. H. W. Beecher. We think, however, lVlr Bingham's exegesis and interpretation were as Scriptural, if not as philosophical and sentimental, as those speaking in Westminster Abbey or Plymouth Church. From our at;quaintance with the theological opinions and religious belief of English, American and other missionaries to heathen lands, both Protestant and Catholic, we have never known one who did not entertain views similar to those entertained by Mr. Bingham, uttered in Fort Street Church, Sabbath evening, June 16th. The noble army of European and American missionaries , vho have during this century made their crusade upon the heathen nation s of Asia, Africa and the islands of the sea, have not entertained doubtful and loose views upon the great and fundamental doctrines of the Gospel, including that of the future destiny of all passing out of this world unreco~ciled to a God of infinite love, whether they lived in heathen or Christian lands. Foreign missionaries may have their foibles and defects, but unless sound in their theological opinions and religious sentiments, rest sqred they will never go out upon their lifework; and if their minds become clouded and their opinions unsettled upon the fundamentals, they will abandon their work and seek some· other calling. ln order to face the foe, the missionary must go forth clad in the whole armor of God, as described by Paul in his Epistle to the Ephesians, and to stand, as the Apostle uses tbat word, the foreign missionary must have his '' loins girt about with truth." 0 as- 'fHE JULY, )·878.
