Friend, 1884-06

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 was very kind on Dr. Hyde's part, to take charge of the Friend, during the editor's absence, in China, when the latter did not promise to furnish either letters or editorials. It seems so natural however when the month comes around to prepare "copy" for the printers, that we should hardly feel at our ease, without doing something in the editorial line. CANTON, Ourpassage.

We remained but two days in this city before ascending the river to Canton, but during those days we made the acquaintance of German, English and American missionaries, all earnestly engaged in 'the mission work. Sabbath evening we attended worship at a small chapel, where some most excellent ladies of the London Missionary Society were in attendance, serving tea, coffee and cakes to any who were incined to partake before the services commenced. vVe heard a most excellent sermon from the Rev. Mr. ~itel, formerly of the London Missionary Society, but now superintendent of the government schools at Hongkong. To our surprise, we found Mr. Greeley, manager of the hotel, but formerly of the Hawaiian Hotel, in Honolulu. While there, Aubrey Robinson, Esq. of Kauai, arrived per the steamer from San Francisco. The passage up the Canton River.- This we found to be most delightful.

By this time anyone on our islands who has had anything to do with the Chinese, must know that there are two distinct clans or classes among the immigrants who flock to our shores. These are the Pux Hakkas and the Puntes, both~Chinese, but speaking different dialects, and differing from each other in certain other respects. The name of the former signifies "stranger" and that of the latter " native of the soil." The Hakkas came down from the northern _and central'parts of China, probably a few centuries ago and hence are regarded by the Puntes as intruders. ~rhere are estimated to be about nineteen millions of inhabitants in the province of Quantung and of these it is thought, about six millions are Hakkas, the remainder being Puntes, and a st.ill third class called Ho,~los, residing in the vicinity of Swatow, of whom, howe_ver, only a very limited number have ever come to our islands. The Hakkas occupy a number of districts in the neighborhood of Canton and Hongkong, in the eastern and northeastern pa1ts of the province. Their most important center is in the prefec- ture of Rayingchan, above S,vatqw. Most of the I-~akka people who immigrate to us come from the districts lying near the ocean and not far -from Hongkong. A most successful mission work is being carried on among these peo~ ple by two European societies, whose headquarters are in Basel, Switzerland, Berlin and G~rrnany.

In the neighbe>ring dis- trict difficulties had arisen between the mandarins and the people, some of whom were in open revolt. Reports had reached the valley where our friends reside that an armed force, formed of members of the revolutionar-y ·'Triad Society" was soon to march through their• region. The Chinese were much terrified and the native Christians and attendants were anxious that their foreign teachers should get to a place of safety, before the enemy began their march of destruction and pillage. Fortunately we were able to calm their fears, and to tell them that the reports had been much exaggerated, and that there would be no necessity for tl:em to leave. In the charming valley of Khi Chong we spent a day and night. Here the young 111issionary, Mr. Kammeu has put up a comfortable mission house, laboring upon it with his own hands. Its fair, white walls rising among the thickets of bambcos, and the surro un<ling gardens with blossoming shrubs, and the home-like look of the place are nice and in marked contrast to the uncared for and comfortless homes of the Chinese. Within and without it preaches eloquently the principles of Christian neatness and order. \Vhat delightful homes we found \vith these Christian friends! Their home lies in the center of a broad and fertile valley, bounded on "all sides by r;artly wooded bills. At the time of our visit the wheat fields were turning a golden brown. This crop gives place to the rice, which will soon be planted. Wherever thP. eye turns it rest upon the grey and weatherstained houses of the Chinese, grouped together in little villages. The people are very poor, and hence many have to emigrate. Back of the villages, in groves of trees, whi<;:h are left in order to retain the good influnce of the drngon which there abides in some mysterious way. The houses are of brick and stone ; narrow passages serve for s·::reets. Signs of heathenism may be seen at every turn. At the doorway are often shrines. In the principal room is the ancestral tablet, which receives the worship of the family. Bits of co lored pap~r and tinsel give a little color in the otherwise cheerless dwellings. Fire-vermilion ·or orange colored papers over the doorway calls down the "five blessings," (health, wealth, many children, long life and peaceful death) on the inhabitants of the dwellmg.

From the village near at hand many men have gone out to work in our sugar and rice fields. A comfortable looking home, which one sees on coming into the village, has just been built by a man who has recently returned from Honolulu. An old blind woman, with wrinkled face asks me a bout her boy in that far land. A young mother, with a brood of little ones, wants me to take her out to her husband living there. We went to our house, where a pretty little Chmese woman has brought joy and happiness. A young man, who not long since returned from our part of the world, chanced to meet a young woman, of whom he asked the way, or some similar, simple question. So much did this Chinese damsel please him, that he takes many a hard-earned dollar which he has brought back with him, and pa.ys it down for the ohject of his choice, and, •with l1er ,family's permission gains her hand to rejgn in his house a happy wife.

PRIMITIVE SUGAR MAKING. We had some delightful walks through the farming country. I remember one day on our way homewards, ~Ne passed through great spreading fields, with here and there clusters of ancient trees, banians, I think. The land was most carefully tilled. From time to time, we passed patches of sugar-cane, which is raised here in ·this part of Chin, both for the sugar and for eating. The cane, all which I have seen, is as a general rule, small and poor-looking, but quite sweet. By the way-side as we saw one of the sugar mills in operation we stopped to examine this most primitive method of making sugar. The "hands" received us most courteously and we were allowed to inspe_ct everything. The cane was piled up in great heaps ready for the "grinders." These were under a mat-shed, and were worked by four oxen or buffaloes, who patiently marched round and round in a circle, running the rude frame work which kept in motion two huge stones which ground and crushed the cane. The juice was then taken to the boiling- • shed, when it passed through a consider.able boiling process, in the last kettle being rigorously "beaten" by a Chinaman, who had a hot and trying place, I thought, callinu; for no little muscular effort. (lean-looking mats were spread at one side and here the hot syrup was poured-in very thin layers, and allowed fo cool. The great sheets of sugar were then cut up into regular little squares and packed neatly We received a libera~ away into jars. supply of this Chinese sugar, and I must confess, that it tasted far better than I had expected. The gulf which separates this ancient process from the methods adopted in some of oursplendid mills in the Islands, seems very wide indeed! IN HONGKONG. The last night of the journey we spent at a Chinese store, which is mainly carried on by the Halha Christains in a large Market-town. They have a sort of branch-business in Honolulu. We were most kindly entertained. II THE PROVINCE OF HEANG SHAN. Following quickly upon the trip of which I have spoken above came another. Into the Heang Shan district, from which I returned only a day or two since. This fertile and populous region lies to the south of Canton City, bordering upon the ocean. At its southern most point is the Portuguese colony of Mac:10, on land ceded long ago by the Chinese to that nationality, which was for many years the or.ly point where foreigners in China were allowed to live. The people of Heang Shan and Puntis, are very enegetic and enterprising. Large numbers have emigrated to America, Australia and to our own islands. The majority of Chinese scattered over our gnup are Heang Shan men. Most of the leading Chinese merchants in Honolnlu are from this region. In Hong Kong many wealthy shopkeepers and c0mpradoes h.ave come from there. Though they have for gi::nerations had to do with foreigners, there has been scarcely any Chrisrian work among them. That terrible evil, the Macao Coolie Trade, though now removed, has caused a hatred and distrust of foreigners which will not for a long time be eradicattd. Agents used to be sent through the district to lure the simple country people down to Macao, where they were kidnapped and sent off to dis- tant lands, as laborers. The horrors of the long ocean voyage, where they were treated rather like brute-beasts than rational beings, the dreary years ·of exile and of enforced labor, made a sad page in the history of human suffering and wrong. The upper part of the district is intersected by numberless river-branches and canals which renders travel here exceedingly easy. Towards the southern point it is more hilly. As I have told you before of the charms of boat-travel in this part of China, I need not again discribe this feature of our journey. I was again fortunate· in having as companion, the Rev. Mr. Nayes, whom I accompanied ir,i a former excursion: of which I have already writter1; yo~. We_ found the country bea~1tiful with the coming of spring. The jute-fields of mulberry shrubs were mantled in tender green. Busy workers filled the rice-swamps, preparing for the fruit crop.. The orange trees, which we saw, were white with blossoms and full of sweetness. Birds sang brightly among the trees, and animated the advent of this most beautiful of the seasons. Our way led through the heart of a vast population, where men till the soil here as for long generations, their ancestors have done. It was an especially interesting trip for me, because I saw so many Chinese friends whom I have either known before, or to whom I was known, or who were in some way linke J to our Islands. I shall always find a deeper sympathy for the thousands of Heang Shan people, who dwell among us, because I have seen their homes here, and know something of their life. from which they have come. CHINESE HOSPITALITY. We directed our boat man to take us first to the District City, called Sheuk Kii,~a large and flourishing place-lying along the river bank_:.and at the foot of a hill, from which rises a lofty pagoda,-which can be seen from a considerable distance and makes an excellent land . mark. These pagodas are thought a great deal of by the Chinese, who appear to believe tbat they will bring good luck in some way or other. At this place there is a chapel, and a little company of native Christians, under the charge of the English Church Mission, I think it fa_ the only Christian station in all this populous region. Sli.euk Kii i~., the principal point to which the Chinese return from our Islands, and ,then. TH~ FRIEND, JUNE 1884branch off to their native villages.

One tong day's walk of many miles, enabled us to pass through village after village from which people have gone .. out to the Hawa11an Islands or other parts of the world.

I was interested to see here and were going. Many new homes at there how foreign ideas had crept in. In one of the rooms he bad a good, generous window, which is unusual in Chinese homes, where it is feared such an aperture will make a good place of entrance for evil spirits. He had framed photographs to orriament his walls; among them I noticed a very different points had been built by these returned laborers who had earned enough abroad to give their family thus a decent home. The dwellmgs are all of one story with a main room in the center where the family all gather and side rooms where they sleep.

Just at the present time when there is consid_erable opposition rnanifested to foreigners here in China, it the village belong to this class. The present Chinese consul in New York is . )erhaps its principal representative just now. His house stood near my friends. Crowds of people came to see 1.1s and stare at . the foreigners. The majority of them had never seen mhite men before. Everything about us seemed to interest them even to the gold filling our teeth which seemed especially to impress them: Followed by a chattering throng of boys, inq uisit.ive but good natured, we made the turn of the village, and vjsited the old Ancestral House where bright eyed lads were studying the classics of Confucius and Mencius and shouting at the . . .. t?P. of their vo1ces-w~th the tablets of their forefathers lookrng down upon. 1: hem. Back of the village rises a hill, covered with beautiful trees. On all sides. stretch away vast rice fiE.llds, from which the people obtain the "staff of life." A dinner was served up for us 'in fine style, one Chinese dish being esr,ecially good, duck stuffed with lotus see<:ls and pearl barley. After exchang was doubly pleasant to find the people so glad to see us. As we entered a village some one would shout, here is the ''man from the fragrant Sandal wood hills" or something of the kind and people would run from all sides to have a look. Of course they would sometimes call us "foreign devils." But then one gets used to that here. We were into the homes of the people, and had a capital opportunity of talking with them. The c.ountry seems most fertile, but the population \s immense and has to overflow, as we see, into other countries. We visited the homes of some of our well-to-do Honoluldu merchants, whose_ fami 1ies are _herde, an were most courtuous 1y receive . Altogether it was a "red letter day" in my travels in China. in ..... / LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS. During this same day's excursion we saw two Hawaiian women who are living here, married to Chinese. They were delighted to see me and I was equally glad to say ''aloha" to them. One of them spoke English excellently which she said she had learned in a Honolulu school. They both were fashion and looke~ well and healthy ancUold me that their husbands were kind to them. But one • d t t b k t th especrn11 y 1onge o ge ac o e islands.

I need scarcely say that we readily complied. We were followed by a crowd of curous Chinese-who must have wondered at it all. The woman took down a large Hawaiian Bible, which she had brought with her across the oceari, and read in her own musical Hawaiian language, part of the 14th chapter of the · Gospel of John, while th e tears gatlv~red in her eyes, a nd I felt something of the same kind commg in mine, as I 1istened to her. Then Mr. Noyes offered a prayer in Chinese, and I followed in Hawaiian and as we finished a Chinaman, her husband, who had just come repeated the Lord's prayer in £ng1ish, to our great surprise. r.fay we not hope that He whose ear is ever ·open to the supplications of His children, will bear our prayer and bless this woman in the land of her exile ? I felt that the seed sown in Hawaii was bringing forth fruit in this distant heathen land. f:Iere in the midst of heathen darkness and surrounded on every side by evidences of idolatrous worship, she, whose ancestors were pagans in another land acknowledged the true God. · OUR DUTY• As I journeyed through the land and visited the homes of the people, and saw in heathen temples in ancestral halls, by roadside and in mountain grove, the evidence of worship of false gods, l felt more than ever the weight of the duty which devolves upon us in our Christian land, to which thousands of these Chinese go. Shall they come back. here as heathen as they left, to worship the same ·gods their fathers worshiped, to burn incense before the Gods of War and Wealth at the shrine "of the Goddess of Mercy," and bend before the tablet of Confucius ? Shall they take the money which they have made in a Christian land to build new temples and gild and ornament new shrines, as I fear is now to~ frequently the case? These are quest10ns which are forced upon one here from day to day. Our duty is plain and simple. So far as it lies within our power, God calls us to give the light of the Gospel to those who .come to us from. this land. Our duty is at the same time a high and ho1y privilege. F. w. DAMON. Canton City, March 28, 1884. THE FRIEND, JUNE, 1884. Among the strange developements of our times, the drift of popular sentiment has been most strangely shown in the wonderful enthusiasm aroused in England over Henry George's treatises on some questions in political economy. His first book," Progress and Poverty" was well written, but its popularity cannot be assigned to such a subordinate matter as its clear and pleasing style. The truth is that it takes up one of the perplexing social problems of our age, tiie unequal distribution of wealth, and he proposes a remedy which may be criticized as vi'iionarv and impracticable, but wbich most certainly falls in with the popular sentiment. George would get rid of our present diffic;ulties by making everybody rich: how? by abolishing all inclividual property in land. And the real truth is all men cannot be rich; for the food, the basis of all wealth, which the ]and can raise is limited by fixed physical law. And, again the remedy George proposes, holding land in common, is going back to an old feudal system which was abandoned because it did not meet the requirements of modern civilization. What is the remedy? Consider the occasion of the unequal distribution of w~ealth, and it is evident that it comes fro1:-i the fact that all men do not wear a uniform value for labor given, but that some men know how to direct labor .better than others; they make their own and others labor tell from their skill in organizing and manipubting 1t. It is done now for selfish ends and purposes, for greed and ostentation. Let it be for the good of the cornmunity, for the love of our fellows, and while the inequalities of society will not be removed, the diffusion of the benefits of wealth will be secured.

The same committee were authorized to put up sink, shelves, and cupboard in the room opposite the reading room. J. T. Waterhouse, Jr., presented to the association a set of crockery, plates, cups, saucers, pitchers, and the gift was accepted with acclamation. Judge Judd introduced Hon. J. W. Kalua, a member of the legislature now in session, a member of the Young People's Christian .l\ ssociation of Waihiku, Maui. He made an address in Hawaiian, which was interpreted by Judge Judd. He had accepted an invitation to attend this meeting of the Honolulu Y. M. C. A., for he wished to learn the object and methods 0£ the assoc1at1on. The Hawaii:ms were too fond of disputation, and their Young People's Associations were not doing all the good he hoped and wished to see them attemptmg and accomplishing. He had leaned much, had been delighted with what he had seen and heard, and h01)ed that at the convention to be held soon, the Hawaiian Associations would be rcorgarnzed on a similar basis, with a regular Y. lVI. C. A. constitution. Judge Judd hoped that this n'nght be accomplished, and moved the appointment of a committee, to represent this at the corning convention. Hon. A. F. Judd, Rev. A. 0. Forbes, W. 0.
