Friend, 1882-02

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.

It is always pleasant to persons residing in any oart of the world to introduce tourvisitors to whatever is noteworthy ists and rern:nlmble. Residents on the Hawaiian Islands, may not be able to conduct their vi;itors to old r; ins such as are remarkable jn Europe, Asia, or Atrica. but we can show a live volcano and accompany· them over broad fields of lava still emitting steam and smoke; we can take them through tropical forests and under the shadow of stately ferns: we can invite them to gaze upon mountains, lofty and impressive such as Mauna Kea, Mauna Loa .:ind Haleakala; we can accompany them to valleys like that of Wailuku, which for beauty, and picturesque effect is without its equal iri any part of the world. Although Island scenes and scenery are by no means new to us, yet we have enjoyed exceedingly. our trip to Maui and Hawaii, in company with Mr. and Mrs. Gale from Minneapolis, Minnesota, and we feel under special obligations to those kind friends who have contributed so much to l'ender our tour pleasant. a~d · Installation at Hilo.

Saiurday Press. (From the "laile Wreath.) Oahu College has received, .with the compliments of the author, a new book. The author is Dr: Henry N. Lyman of Chicago, formerly a pupil at Punahou, and now "Prof. of Physiology and Diseases of the Nervous System in Bush Medical College, Chicago 111., and Prof. ot Theory and Practice of Medicine, in the Woman's Medical College, Chicago, Ill." The book furnishes a very interesting and readable treatise on Anresthetics. Between forty and fifty different methods of producing insensibility to pain. are described in this work ; among which, the administration of chloroform occupies a prominent place. One of the most suggestive chapters, :i:s entitled "Death during the Inhalation of Chloroform .'' 1n reading this chapter, when we got as far as Case 393, we began to think we did not need any cbloroform1 and were disposed to omit the reading of the 17 additional cas~s.

RAMBLES IN 11HE OLD WORLD-No. 61, EASTWARD AND HOMEWARD, NO. 10. JAPAN, ., THE LAND OF THE RISING SUN." "The glory will always be hers of having first among Asintic States, shown herself capable of marching in the forefront of civilization, almost abreast with the most advanced nations of the vaunted West."-Quarterly Review. 'fhe attention of the whole civiiized world has been drawn for the p~st quarter of a century to the marvellous transformation which the interesting Empire of Japan has been undergoing. A series of important volumes of travel, have enlightened, to a certain degree. the general reader, in reference. to the nature of the changes which have been there wrought. Where there was so mueh to praise it is possible that some of these writers, carried away by their enthusiasm, have imparted a somewhat too roseate tinge to their descriptions of the progress of the nation, so that many have been led to believe that suddenly a '' Golden Age" has dat\Tned upon the Japanese, and that, in some magical way, the evils of long centuries of heathenism and despotism have been swept away, and that nothing more remains to be accomplished here. This is far from ~eiog the case as any one can see, who even for a short time visits this ancient Lind. Still, that which has been accomplished here, cannot fail to fill the new comer with wonder ~nd admiration, especially if he come from the coast of Asi~, where traditions and superstitions, relics of a hoary past, still rule with so tyrannical a sway. The seed of Western civilization and ideas, has been planted, and under favoring influences .is springing- up into vigorous life. Slowly, but we would trust imrely, the leaven of Christianity is beginning to operate. That this best and mightiest of uplifting agencies may thoroughly permeate the empire, should be the earnest prayer of the Church. For, as Miss Bird s~ys, at the close of her briifiantly written description of Japan. "The great hope for her is that she may grasp the truth and purity of primitve Christianity, as taught by the lips and life of our Lord Jesus Christ, as resolutely as she has grasped our arts and sciences; and that, in the reception of Christianity, with 1ts true principles of manliness and national greatness, she may become, in 18 'l'-n E FRIEND, I 8 8 2. the highest sense, • The Land of the Rising after the moon came up, and softened and imperial Mint is situated here.

From Kioto, to Tokio runs n famous highway, called the 'fokaido, which has been and is still the great thoroughfare for the travel and traffic of tne country. A journey by this road with jin-riki-shas would have been extremely interesting, but our limited tirrie obliged us to take a Japanese steamer, from Kobe to Yokohama. Just before reaching the latter city, we were favored with a partial glimpse of the famous and sacred mountain of Japan, the volcanic peak of Fujiyama. This grand and lofty peak, soaring upwards towards heaven. some 13,000 feet and more, has become familiar to all the world. through the countless represeQtations of it on Jaranese fan& and works of art. The people of the country say that it rose in one night. It is a great place for pilgrimages, and the C'>mmon people from till parts of the country come to pray at the shrines erected on its slopes. During the time of our visit it was almost constantly obsc•ired by clouds, the only opportunities offered of seeing "the matchless mountain'' were, as I have said, when we were nearing the coast, when its lofty summit seemed to float as some strange vision of the air, high up above the clouds, and once more a fpw days later on when it unveiled itself for a sf1ort time before sunset. In winter, when covered with a robe of gleaming snow from base to summit, it is said to present a wondrously beautiful appearance. Yokohama is a thriving snd prosperous modern settlement which has ansen since the opening of Japan to foreigners . There are splendid shops fine hotels, n nd comfortable residences. The foreign quarter is charming. Most of the horn.es of the merchants and missionaries are situated on the '• Bluff,'' a slight elevation above the town, from which a delightful view is obtained, and where the air is fresh nnd healthfnl. The harbor presents a busy scene. Here may be seen vessels of 1-dl nationaliti es, merchant ships, men of war, and great ocean ste:1mer.s. The artich~s of Japanese manufacture and art, here exhibited for H le, are beautiful in the extre me, and a tour of the :stores and bazaars is in itself a rare treat. The export from Japan of bronzes, and porcelain. of paintings and carvings is immense. The capital of the Empire, Tokio is easily reached by tra;n from Yokohama. in about an hour·s time. This is perhaps the most interesting poir1t in Japan to study the mighty revolutionizing forces which are working in the country. But the old grandeur of Japan has departed. The magnificent pageants of for. mer days, have largely p~ssed »way. Feudalism, with its haughty and splendor-loving nobles, has given place to a better regime; for the mass of the people, Tokio is far from being a beautiful city. Its immenss population live in low and unpicturesque dwellings, which present a monotonous s,1meness. The streets are for the most part broad and lined with shops. The distances in toe capital are immense, and it is well that th e tity FRIEND, FEBRUARY, l 8.8 2. is supplied with jin-riki-shas or otherwise the visitor would soon be exhausted Here is the home of the young Emperor, who .represents the most ancient royal family in the world. The " Foreign Office" is a suitable and appropriate structure, just completed in the most elegant manner, and in its various departments may be seen gentlemen of culture and education. The University of Japan cannot fail to interest the traveller. I have before me a programme of the studies and lecture-courses, which, conducted in French. Euglish, and Japanese, are worthy of a University in Europe or America. The most interesting rem 1nders of old Japan, now left in the capital, are the Temples of Asakusa Uyeno, and the 'rombs of the Shoguns in the Shiba quarter of the city. In them may be seen splendid altars and rare works of Japanese art. But from year to year their glory is growing more and more dim. Their splendid grounds however, with numerous stately groves of evergreens still remain . The greRt castle or p·dace which formerly stood in the heart of the city, was destroyed not long since by fire. We were privileged however, to see the beautiful park in which it formerly stood. The massive walls of immense hewn stones s1.urou nding this, are themselves a reminder of the power which could raise such cyclopean structures. Beneath, in the moat, the lotus-flower bloom3 in abund,ince. During our short E'tay in the capital, we were the recipients of much kindness from Japane~e and American friends, whom we shall not soon forget. Perhaps the most interesting incident from a social point of view was an interview with two Princes of the Imperial House, both c11ltivated and intelligent gentlemen. The Missionaries residing here and in Yokohama are workrng most faithfully, and are alre>1dy beginning to see the good results of their labors. I know of no more fascinating place in the world, to visit, than Japan. Its art is so beautiful that that of itself, rende'rs a vis~ delightful. The country is most picturesque and charming excursions can be made in all directions, while the people are ·in many respects most attractive. The great excursion is to the ancient and beautiful temples at Nikko which unfortunately, we were unable to visit. Instead, however, we went to see the famous bronze Buddha at Kamakura, a wonderful figure some forty feet in height, in one side of which is a small temple Then came a delightful j~urney through a varied and love iy region of country, and a short trip on the great" Tokaido," where we saw much of Japanese life. A DINNER PARTY IN JAPANESE "HlGH LIFE.' 1 More tbay once have I had occas ion to thank the kindly fate, which assigned me the Hawaiian or S ,,ndwich Is!ands as mv place of birth. Proud as we may be of th~ advance which has herc1 bee11 made. and great as this little world may seem to us, stil I to the average dweller in other lands, it is largely an " unknown country," or one about which the most extraordinary opinions are· entertamed. Paritdoxical as it may at first seem. however, I repeat that I have found it of very great ndvantagf! to have come from Hawaii. Ha.d I hailed from New York, or London, or P aris, I should have had nothing to individualize me. I should 19 have been one of many millions of Americans, or Englishmen, or Frenchmen. But from the 8andwich Islands, the land of Cannibals, where the great Cook found such an inglorious death, that land of burning moun- . tains, and gloomy craters, a region once heathen, now devoutly christian, a paradise of beil nty and all conceivahle wonders, set in the midst of a vast nod unknown ocean, here indeed was a rm-ct-avis, whom every-one wished to have a look at, to see in what shade he was tinted, and to hear what rudimentary sounds he uttered. It was amazing how a thousand doors were opened, and a thousand kind things done for me, becaU:~e I was a. Sandwich Islander. This was introduction enough, and I found it invaluable all the way from Scandanavia to the Levant, and so from Egypt homewards No where was this truer than in Japan, but now I ceased to be the chief luminary, and shone only with the reflected light of a statellite. All the Mikado's .Empire, was, when I reachod the '• Land of the Rising Sun," talking about their recent royal visitor, our own King Ka• lakaua, who with his suite had left countless friends behind him. His visit been a hadmag• nificent fete. Every body had enjoyed it and now they were all talking about it when I reached them, in a pleasant family way, these jolly, good-humored, delightful Japanese. You would have thought it scarcely the time for another Sandwich Islander to put in his appearance, and he only a com• moner, a poor Caucasian imitation •of the real thing. But a Japanese is a born host and at the same time, the most inquisitive man in all the world. So. my birth-right came in well again, for was not I a subject of the good and great Kalakaua? Let me here tell you of a little episode in my visit, wliich does not fall in the pathway of every visitor, and which I never would have enjoyed had 1 not been a Sandwich Islander, and the subject of the only King who has had pluck and enterprise enoug-h to take a trip around the wc,rld, and to include Japan in his programme. Shortly after his d~parture, His Majesty made infinitely glad a number of Japanese gentlemen. by the bestowal upon them of Hawaiian Decor,1tions These had just arrived, and the happy possessors were anxi,:,u s to give vent to their gra6tude, so 1 came just in time, to let a little of it overflow on to mi. It was decided that I should be honored with a grand dinner in the most approv ed Japanese style. This was given by a number of gentlemen connected witb the Foreign Office and various officials from oth• er offices and the Court and a most delightful and interesting affiir it was, coming off just the evening before I left Tokio, the capital. A gentleman friend who was tr1tvelling with me. was also invited, and the Hawaiian Consul accompanied us. The ClubHouse where the dinner was given, is situated in the heart of the great, busy bustling capital of Japan, not far away from the magnificent tombs of the Tvcoons or Shoguns, in the Shib -t quarter of th·e city.

Beautiful Homes, We have often met tourists visiting our Islands, when returning from a visit to Hawaii and Maui, who had a long chapter to rehear:,e of the unpleasant incidents of trnvel. They never would cease to repeat their discomforts, by sea and land-travel. Any little inconveniences incidental to a tour among the lslands we should deem unworthy of the slightes.t mention, when compared mth the beauties of tbe natural scenery, but more especially of the many beautiful and charming homes, into which it has been our privilege to enter. We have not forgotten the Missionary welcomes and entertainments of forme/ years; but if some old missionhomes have been broken up. and the venerable occupants removed to the Home above, a few still remain in all their pri1,;tine beauty ! The Missionary children and others have created new bornes, of the very loveliest type. We have recently enjoyed the privilege of being a guest in several of the abodes now existing on Hawaii and Maui. It would be inviriious to particularize, but the pleasant home-pictures left on our mind by the brief so-journ in some of their nooks, are most delightful to recall. A well ordered Christian family is among the most beautiful of earthly pictures. A group of such families forms the best of communities, and forms the foundation of all that is most lovely in this world. There may be much of evil in our island community, but we have recently visited m>1ny homes of the best type where exists all that is pure and lovely. It is their existence which makes us hopeful for the future. They are the salt of the earth ! Blessings on them all. VrsrT TO THE CRATER oF KrLAUEA.-It 1s an old story to repeat, for so many have spoken and written about it, from the days of Mr. Ellis to the present time. After Miss Bird's descriptiou, and the scientific notice by Mr. Brigham, and the touches of the brush and pencil by Mr. Furneaux, little remains to be said by ordinary writers, but it still remains one of ihe most impressive and fearfully grand objects in nature. There is no other volcano on our globe which will compare with it for grandeur and magnitude, at the same time will allow the visitor to approach its brink and gaze far down into its fiery depths-at one moment smoldering ani apparently quiet, but the next breaking up and rolling in fearful waves of molten lwa· Mr. Lentz our host at the Volcano House told us "you have only to wait and you wil see it break up." We followed his sugges tion and were amply repaid for our short detention. The great lake seemed frozen ove 'f BE FRIEND, FEBRUARY~ except two seething furnaces under the ledge, but soon the crack under the opposite ledge began to show signs of activity, and in a few moments, the whqle surface of the l -1 ke was thoroughly broken up--one wave after another rising and sinking away in the molten sea. Well, one must go and see for oneself. Although this was our fifth visit,-the first in 1844, followed by others in '57, '6~, '68 -yet we can truly remark, that like the Rev. Mr, Coan, wbo is sometimes spoken of as · the Bishop of Kilauea, and was wont to make an annual visit, we should not be disinclined to go as often. for all vi::;itors sbottld come away, wiser and better for the ~olemn reflections thereby suggested. httving never seen any other mountain sceneery than that of Palestine. The following are only a few of the many passages to be cited : '' In his hand are the deep places of the earth. thP. Rtrength of the hills is his also . Ps. 95, 4. Bow thy he ,i vens, 0 Lord and come down, touch the mountains 11nd they shall smoke. 144. 5. The hills melted like wax, at the presence of the Lord, at the presence of 1he Lord of the whole earth. 95, 5." Read 104 Ps. A quiet Sabbath, with ~uch surroundings, is surely as much to be desired, as amid the columns and under the dome of St. PauPs or St. Peter's, or in any of the world-renowned cathedrals or churches of the old or new world. A Quiet Sabbath at the Volaano, It is well to gn forth in obedience to the s uggPstion of Bryant in his Tbanatopsis, and listen to the " still voice :" 22 For years we have desired to spend a quiet Sabbath at the great Crater of Kilauea. During our recent visit to Hawaii, that wish has been fully gratified. Starting from Hilo Saturday morning, January 14th, after a horse-back walk of fourteen hours, our party reached the Volcano House at 11 o'clock P. M., riding dming five hours, through the mountain fo1est. without the light of the Moon, arid with only the light of the stars, and the lurid glare of the Volcano, reflected from the overhanging cl©uds. Such a moonless ride through the forest with a lady companion, we did not anticipate, but " all is well that ends well," and leaves something to talk about. Irving remarks, in his sketch book, that the traveller is always sure to be welcomed by the Hotel keeper, now mine host of the Volcano House, Mr. Lentz, forms no exception to th is remark. During our sojourn he was most attentivP, and ever kept a generous fire in the open fire-place which was peculiarly welcome at the time of our arrival. when cold and chilled by the damp mountain night-air. But we were speaking of the quiet Sabbath. The morning w,is cool. Thermometer at n4 c:2. The air was most bracing and invigorating, Mauna Loa and )\fauna Kea in full view, and mantled with snow, far down their rugged and lava-scarred slopes. Before us yawned that great, black, smoking steammg chasm. The sky was nearly cloudless, and the stillness seemed almost oppressive. Scarcely a breath of wind all day, and no rain. It is a good place for profound reflection and meditation. We have read books of science and sentiment upon the Volcano of Kilauea, but really the most suitable book to be read in the presence of such grand mountain scenery, and such fearful exhibitions of Divine power. is the Bibie, but especially the Psalms of David. The marvel and wonder is how David could ever have given utterance to such sublime musings, "Go forth under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around, Earth and her still waters , and the depths of air Comes the still voice. M.AI-IUKONA.-The enterprise and push of Mr. Wilder has effectually changed this one rugged and rocky little port on Hawaii. Such ledges and masses of rocks and lava would have daunted the ze"l, and quenched the ardor of most men, but Mr. Wilder. with an hundred chimmen, and a score of white laborers. about ten months ago, made att ;1ck upon thes~ rocks and ledges to put them in place . for making a good Landing and Railroad DPpot. We are sorry to learn, that after boring 805 feet, and expending $5,000, the effort to riore for fresh water at M ,1hukona has· not been successful. We could wish the Government would c::irry forward the enterprise a few hundred feet in addition. for we think that Artesian wells should be made successful if possible. Alr~ady about seven miles of the R. R from Mahukona to Kohala, has been completed. The cars are running back and forward, several times each day. The arrivitl and departure of the trains impart a life and animation to the scene. Mr. Wilder hopes in a month or so, to run the train into Kohala. Words fail us to express the ghd results which will follow to the planters and others living in that region, but especially to the poor horses which have been 0 riven over those rugged hills ! Such enterprises are a real blessing to the King:iom. Would that more of them were sta r'ted and encou raged by judicious and liberal government appropriations. PAIA.-This town is situated at the terminus of Capt Hobron's R. R., towards Makawao. It is now almost exclusively occupied by the Chinese. \Ve were glad to learn that a Christian Chinese had recently established religious servioes there. The Rev. I 8 8 2. Mr. House, Hev. James Alexl'l.nder, and oth~ ers are affording all the assistance in their power. The importance of affording encouragement to all such enterprises cannot be overestimated. They are th~ beginning of good things. lt was reported that some 14 males, 3 females anrl 14 children, form the ChriRtian party. A few of them come up from Spreckelsville. Let planters and others give all possible encouragement to these new gatherings, and good results will fol- Kahului Railroad, Having, in former years, been conveyed in a mule cart. or on hor:-;e-back, between East and West Maui, it was pleasant to be hurried at a rapid rate of speed on the new R. R .. constructed by the enterprise and capital of Capt. Hobron. Some miles have already been completed, and additional miles are projected. Aside from the real convenience and saving to the Planters and others, this road is a boon to the patient ox horse, or mule. For the s :ike of the toiling beasts we hope other R. R. will be undertaken. On the plantations we are gratified to notice that the plantets are contriving new methods of transportation, which are labor-saving and money-saving, as well as releasing animals from their toils! On Mr. Baldwin's plantation, fluming the c;\ne to the mill, is most sucessfully carried forward. On Ha wa1i this method has been long in use. · Oahu College Building Fund. From the recent entertflinment, initiated and carried forward by Mr. J. B. Castle and · his sister, Miss Cn rrie Castle assisted by others the sum of $422 25 was realized, leaving a · balance of $308 75, after paying expenses. In our next issue we hope to report the exact amount of money on hand for building purpo~es. Such efforts as this of Mr. Castle and his sister, are worthy of all pr.1ise. KALANI OF 0AHU.-Just as our paper was going to press , we noticed Ill Whitney and Robertson's Book Store, another book on the Islands. with the above title.

Newell, wholvisited the lshnds many years ago, for on page 413 we notice the remark, " The first draft of this work was written on the .spot, thirty years ago."

The Committee on revision of the Constitution presented its report which wr1s accepted. The entire evening was spent in discussing whether or not church membership should be required for active membership. It was finally decided in the affirmative. MR. Frank Damon reported the resignation of Sit Moon as Pastor of the Chinese Church. IN the absence of Mr. Atherton, the third member of the Committee, Dr. Whitney was chosen in his place, and the Co·:nmittee as to report at the next regular meeting. '' In New York, a fe,v youtig men, not many years ngo, gathered at the Association rooms and :went to wprk under its auspices. Some of them found occupation in the Association, some in the Mission Schools, all in God's work somewhere; all of them have since risen to positions , which rank them a:110ng the - best and s·trongest citizens of New York. · '' The clergy should help this work, for it leads yo.ung men to , the churches and js in the linEi of their labors. Employers. should give it their sµbstantial• aid. The responsibjlity which rest~ upon them is not small, and the enco11ragement of their Associations and the public.

WALTER STUART LEwrs was born at Madison, Indiana, Jan. 2'/th, 1857. He graduated from Wabash Colleae in the class of 1879. \Vhen 19 years of :ge, he was for a year at Kansas City as general Secretary of the Y. M. C. A. Immediately after graduation he went to Beirut, Syria, as Principal of the Preparatory School, connected with the Protestant Colleg-.i located there. After an absence of a little more than a year, he returned to his home, having contracted the Syrian fever, the effects of which he never succeeded in flhaking off. He was then appointed Secretary of the -Y. M. C. A. at Atlanta, Geo. Constant speaking and singing told upon his strength, and declining health necessitated his resignation in N?v, 1881. · Reluctant to give him up, the Association left the position open for him until January. hoping that he wc;mld be able to continue his work. He left his home on the 5th of Dec. to visit the islands. At all points on his joura ney, he met members of tbe different Associations, and received many acts of kindness from their hands. Reaching Honolulu the last of Dec. he spent two days at the Hotel and then went to his sister on Kauai. By his journal of Dec. 31st we find these words : '' Thus. ends another year. Have wandered over here in the hope of getting well. It is my last chance and who can tell the issue? " He returned to Honolulu on Saturday morning, Jan. 14th, andjell asleep the same evening. The funeral services were held in St. Andrew's Cathedral, on Sunday, at 4.30, pm. and were largely attended by members of the Young Men's Christian Association of this city.
