Friend, 1880-11

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.

This splendid Abbey, with its beautiful and costly church, belongs to the wealthy Premonstratensian Order. lt is a stately structure, and grandly placed on the heighis above the city. ln the church are the tombs of St. Norbert and Pappenheim, who fell at LUtzen in 1632. One of the brothers of the Order showed us with great courtesy and politeness the really splendid library here gathered. There are thirty brothers in the Abbey, and if they look at all like the smiling, cheerful gentleman who, eleg-ant in flowing robes of white Cashmere, and with rarefu lly oiled locks, accompanied us, they must differ somewhat from the usual idea entertained of the worn and ascetic inmates of Convent cells. From these "upper points of view." where we now are, the picture before us is one which must move and delight everyone permitted to come he re at any time of the duy, and esper1ully at sunser. We are surrounded by magnificent edifices, pttlace:s, churches, convents, fortifications, which rise from amidRt musses of foliage and shrubbery in the valleys between them. As the eye wanders down the slopes. it meets with other palaces-those of Wallenstein and other famous heroes of history-and lofty churches ; and then comes the Moldau-if seen at evening, flowing like some luminou s, fiery river benePlth its ancient .and imposing bridges, decorated with massive and grand groups of statuary. And then still further ou the remainder of the city is seen. 1n the centre rises the old Teynkircbe. once the clrnrch of the H ussit~s. anJ now of the Cat ho •ics, and which contains the tombstone of the celebrated Danish a~tronorner ('fyche Brahe), who died in 1601 ; and near th is the Rathhuns. in front of which, "in 1621, twenty-seven of thP- leaders of the Protestant s-most of them Bohemian nobleswere executed."

The tragic records of persecutions, of martyrdoms, of war and pe8tilence, are written in bold letters, and are tbe first which meet us when we look back over the way our race has ~o long been walking down tn the present. There have been sorrow and misery. terrible beyond words, in this old city of Prague; and the heart aches at the thou.ght of it, and the lip quivers in the telling. But I love to think too of all the joy there has been, the wealth of family happiness in those thousands of homes, nestling under the crags where the citadel clings. And if so much of bitterness and sadness has here blighted and dimmed the beauty of life, God grant that this may now be buried with the past, and that here the the blessings of a lasting peace may abide 84 r n ~; =-=============================- - - . ., : F R I E' N D , N o v E ~J ~=~------ _-_- _-_-_-_-- nE R .

We pursuers. So_mewhat wearied, we returned his lips when delivering ao oration before longed once more to look out upon hills and to our lodgings at the hotel. the Literary Societies of Amherst College, mountains. We were soon folly gratified _by such a glorious prospect as the Tburingian Forest region of Germany afforded. Green hills, harvest-covered fields, wooded mountains, seemed to our delighted gaze never more exquisitely and mosaically spread out for a charming landscape view. The bright July sky, with all its over-shadowing clouds, only heightened the grn nd prospect. Our earth may present in many parts beautiful scenery and grand views, and it has been our privilege to see many of them in various lands under most favorable circumstances_; but that prospect from the summit of the elevation, upon which Wartburg Castle stands, where Luther was imprisoned by his friends, certainly equals anything in the way at landscape scenery we ever viewed. But we are too much carried away with our conternplatio11 of the country to note certcWn incidents of our journey. Our first stopping place was at Wittenburg, nnd a ·visit to . the old Monastery wpere Luther found the Bible, on opening which the text caught bis eye:-" The just shall live by faith,"-and he was led to strike the key-note of the Reformation. Of course we visited the old convent with all its reminders of the great Reformer,-the church wltere he nailed his "9f1 Theses" on the doors,--tbe church where the Communion was celebrated, and was partaken of in both kinds by the people, while just outside of the city walls the spot is pointed out where Luther burnt the Pope's Bull. At present, Wittenburg is a most quiet, sleepy, and unlively city, especially in a hot July day. Hence, as the sun declined, we burned away to the bu~y, stirring and lively University-town of Halle, where eight hundred students resort. A thriving business is in progress, and everything and everybody seem awake and alive,-buildings are going up and trade is prosperous. We had hardly time to brush off the dust of travel, ere a friend, Professor Frausse, whose acquair1tance we had formed in Berlin, met us and proposed a row upon the river Saale, which appears to be a most favorite resort of the students and inhabitants of Halle. The evening was most favorable, and the numerous boats on the river, with their gay lanterns and lively boating song~, indicated that while the inhabitants of Halle might work by day, they were fond of evening We must not omit to note one event of the day which we feel quite sure will be longer retained in our memory than many others. We refer to a visit in compflny with Professor Franke to the residence of the late Professor Tholuck, so deservedly and favorably known to the theological students, clergy and Divines of America and the world . It was our privilege to visit his study, where so much hard and scbolarl,y work had been done. His library of 14,000 volumes still remains upon the shelves as he left it. Some of his manuscripts are still upon his desk or table, where he studied. We walked under the vine-covered arbor where he was wont to converse with his visitors and take exercise. We confess such places have a far greater attraction and fascination for us than battle-fields and arsenals. Through the politeness of Professor Franke we were introduced to Mrs. Tholuck, who is, in a most delightful manner, executing certain wishes and bequests of her late husband, respecting the education of young theological students preparing for the Christian Miuistry. She is a lady of genuine refinement and rare excellence, whose presence in any society would impart a charm and influence eminently becoming and desirable. We would merely add, that our friend, Prolessor Frnnke, in addition to his other labors, has recently translated and published a memoir, in German, d the late President Finney, of Oberlin College, Ohio. Just before leaving Halle, we visited the celebrated Protestant Orphanage, founded about the close of the 17th century, through the pious efforts of tbe Philanthropist Franke, and which has for nearly 200 years been sustained and rendered so eminently u~eful to thousands of those left orphans. There was much in Halle and its environs which attracted our attention, but off we hurried to Eseinacb that we might spend a quiet Sabbath amid the early home and haunts of Luther. It was there that he was admitted to the Cotta family, there he officiated as a choir-boy, and there, confined in the Castle of Wartburg, he translated the Bible iuto German. Of course we visited all these places, while on the bright Sabbath morning we worshiped in the old church where Luther once sang. The preacher discoursed upon the feeding of tbP five thousand, and in the course of his remarks upon God's care for His creatures, remarked that God had nearly fifty years ago. Speaking of Luther, he remarked that "he moved to his great work, not to the ' Dorian mood of flutes and soft recorders,' but grasped the iron trumpet of his mother-tongue, and blew a blast that shook the nations from Rome to the Orkneys-~overeign, citizen, and peasant started at the sound, and he who begged his bread for a pious cantacle in the streets of Eisenach, no longer friendless, no longer solitary, was courted by princes, &c.': While visiting the '' old study" in the Wartburg, and looking out upon that most charming panoramic view of bills and dale~, cultivated fields, and wooded regions, we could not but reflect upon the lasting fame which the mere translation of the Bible into the vernacular of a people would impart to a particular spot. The tourist is ever pointed to the cell in the old monastery, in Bethlehem, where the great Jerome translated the Bible into the "Vulgate," while we always were wont to look with a sort of ven er;ltion upon the Rev. Mr. Bingham's old study in Honolulu, with its sharp roof and adobe walls. whirh have now given place to a beautiful dwelling built after the modern style. Leaving Eisenach, we passed through Gotha, Weimar, Jena, to f:eip8ig, another University city of Germany. German Universities form a marked feature i11 the social, political, literary, and theoloi:!icnl affair::i of this great Empire. So far a~ possible, we aim to make them a subject of study, comparing them with inst1tntions of a similar nature in other parts of the world. While sojourning there for a short ::iearnn, it was our good fortune to meet at the hotel with that remarkable scholar and explorer, Dr. Schliemann, whose name has been so identified with the explorations of Troy. He is residing this summer in Leipsig, preparing for publication, this autumn, a new book on Troy, and his explorations. In the preface, he designs to present his opinion upon the proper study of the Greek language, for he thinks that students spend altogether too much time over the Greek, as a dead language, whereas he believes that a young stndent slfould be taught to sper1 k it in two years, and read the language fluently and readily. His book will appear simultaneously in Leipsig, London, New York. harper and Brothers will be the New York publishers. lt is certainly a most noteworthv fact that in the latter half of the nir.eteenth century an individual is to be found who could carry out a system of successful explorations in parts of the world where Grecian, Roman, and other civilizations have for centuries maintained their supremacy. From Leipsig we passed to Dresden, Prague in Bohemia, Vienna in Austria, when we commenced our return westward, spending a few days in the vicinity of Saltzburg and Munich. 11 HE F R I E N D , N O V •J ltl B •~ R .
