Friend, 1870-07

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 would acknowledge No. 6, from J. F. Hunnewell, Esq., one of the Boston Party recently visiting San Francisco. It is dated "Snmmit Sierra Nevada, May 31." The sheet is beautifully printed, and we copy as follows : -Early this morning, as we ascended the Sierras, we encountered quite a snow storm, a new incident in our trip. In Summit Valley forty-two feet of snow has fallen during a winter, and eight feet has been known to fall in a single storm. In crossing these mountains we pass thirteen tunnels cut through granite rock-the longest 1,680 feet -and through about thirty miles of snow sheds, timbered as heavily as a line-of-battle ship. " Cape Horn," and the view down the American River Valley, added a majestic climax, full of grandeur and beauty, and after rising 3,000 feet, and descending 7,000 feet, we shall reach Sacramento, the capital of California. V Since writing the above paragraphs, we have received a private letter from Mr. Hunnewell, from which we take the liberty to quote as follows : " San Francisco, June 3rd, We had a magnificent ride across the continent in the most splendid train of cars that ever crossed it. We had on board a newspaper published daily, called "The Transcontinental," of which I send you a copy. I wrote the closing "leader "-and the first in the first number (bAsides other parts).

Of mountains stretkhing on from east to west, The Fourth of .July. The day was truly a holiday to all classes in Honolulu. The Government offices were l, closed. The Legislature adjourned. The , stores and shops were rleserted. Such as did not seek amu~ment in the country, found it at_ various gatherings in towq. At the residence of the American Minister a sumptuous table was spread, from 12 to 1 o'clock, under the shade of the beautiful trees, where all so inclined, including the officers of the Hawaiian Government, resorted to pay their respects. Then followed a gathering at th.e residence of the American Consul, wher,e,_in addition to the usual collation, Mrs. Adam.son received the ladies, and her husband, the Consul, delivered an appropriate and eloquent address which, we hope, will be published. As he is a native of Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, he could speak, with propnety, of old revolutionary times. The children's pic-nic, up the valley, at the residence of Mrs. Paty, was a grand success. The ·' old folks" were as much delighted as the "young folks." The day was charming, so that with a good entertainment, music, marching, and a few speeches, the occasion passed off to the deli"ght of all.

Leaving Paris on the evening of December 7th, the next morning fou.nd Qs almost within sight of the. Alps, coursing our way rapidly towards Italy, via. Mt. Cenis. We took breakfast at Culoz, some forty miles south of Geneva. It is a region of vineyard3. We saw some fields which h.ad been planted with Indian corn. 'rh.e high and precipitous moµntains, the narrow valleyEi,. and_general aspect of the count.ry often. reminded us of some of the va.s t and br,oken lava regions of M,a:u i. and Hawaii.. The day was uncommonly clear and beautiful, thougp.-rat,hpr. cold. About noon we passed through the village of Aignebelle, where many of the inhabitants are afflicted with the goitre,. oi: a swelling of the throat on account, it is reported, of the water. In passing we only saw one man thus afflicted, but bis ca.se indicated what might be the condition of others. Onward we passed at a rapid speed until we reached a place called. St. Michel, . where the real ascent of the Alps corp.men<!es. 'rhf} distance across is seventy-two miles to ~UZA, At St. Michel we exchanged Gars, taking only one car, to be drawn by a single powerful engine. There were only some twenty passengers; all were placed in this small car, and by a new and peculiar kind of ma~ chinery, aided by a third rail, the car is drawn up declivities, or grades, such as were perfectly astonishing to myself who had never seen R. R. trains passing up a grade exceeding, perhaps, 80 feet to the mile. We will not pretend to assert what the grade per mile is on the Alps ; but suffice, the track is lai-d; parallel with. the common road for carriages. It follows that ro.acl, no matter how short the 58 '11 H E }' U I E N D , J U L Y , 1 8 7 0 . curves may be, or steep the ascent. All we can say upon the subject is, that this species of railroad travel was absolutely marvellous We ascended and descended at the rate of 12 miles per hour, making the trip :.i.cross in six hours. A person who has not crossed the Alps by the .Mt. Cenis Pass, can form but a faint idea of the difficulties of the undertaking to construct a railroad through this region of the Alps. The celebrated" Cape Horn," on the Sierra Nevada mountams, we thought was sufficiently frightful; but that was nothing compared with many on this route. Tourists and writers-in prose and verse, have for ages been describing the beauties and grandeur of Alpine scenery; but the theme is not exhausted; neither will it be so long as the traveler sees "Alps on Alps arise." On our journey over the Sierra Nevada, and Rocky mountains, and among the Alleghanies, we saw much beautiful and grand mountain scenery, but all combined does not equal the scenery on the route through which we have just passed. One writer has asserted that the scenery on the Italian side of the Alps even surpasses that on the Savoy side: however that may be, we cannot decidP from personal observation, for we made the descent in the darkness of night, and in the face of a driving snowstorm. How vastly different to cross the Alps in a close and warm car, with a container of hot water at one's feet, from w_h at it would be to follow in the footsteps of some weary pilgrim, or b1rnighted traveler, or mail-clad crusader, or heavily-armed soldier. Ever since the days of Hannibal this mountain pass has been traversed by armies to and fro. It was, probably, through this same pass that Cresar took his army when invading Gaul, and many a general ,since has led his army through the same narrow defiles. Not far from the same line the famous Mt. Cenis tunnel is now beiug constructed. It is to be eight miles in length. At the present rate of progress it will be finished in 1871. Its cost is estimated at seven millions of dollars. Five-sixths of the expense is paid by France, and the remaining sixth by Italy. To-day, December 9th, we passed down the valley leading from Suza to Turin. The sides of the mountains are covered with vineyards wherever the absolute steepness of the mountains does not prevent the people from obtaining a foot-hold. The interval between the mountains is very level, and must be exceedingly rich. , We pave seen no waste land thus far in Italy. We have been spending the day in viewing places of historic interest in Turin. This was formerly the capital, in the days of Charles Albert, and ~ubsequently during the early part of the reign of Victor Emmanuel. The king!s palace remains as he left it when the court removed to Florence. Certainly a palace, most beautifully built and fitted up, is a most sad and melancholy place, wh~n .there are no royal personages to occupy it. We have this day wandered through the desolate mansion. The apartments are most beautifully arranged and gorgeously adorned. A military guard is still on duty, but visitors are allowed to wander from room to room, and view the gilded apartments. The palace joins the Cathedral which was formerly most handsomely ornamented, and decorated with paintings. taken from its parents by the authority of the "Church" law, and the emissaries of Rome refused to deliver up the child, when prosecuted before the civil tribunals. The result was a long and unsatisfactory trial. The inquisitor was imprisoned, but refusing to make any disclosures, he was finally relt!ased on the plea, that he acted under the authority of the grand inquisitor and the Pope. In view of such facts, no wonder the common people of Italy rejoiced when the ecclesiastical law was abolished. We saw a pillar erected in one of the public squares of Turin, cor.nmemorative of the abolition of ecclesiastical law. On the sides of the pillar were the names of the cities and towns of Italy which contributed to defray the expense of erecting the same. In visiting the church of St. Petronio, we were much interested in viewing, upon the floor of the edifice, " Meridian Line,'' which was placed there in 1655 by the astronomer, Cassini, the guomon which throws the shadow being 80 feet high. This singular specimen of astronomical work is imbedded in the floor of the church in marble ; upon it are inscribed the signs of the zodiac. The "Line " crosses the church floor somewhat During our brief stay in urin, we called diagonally. upon the Rev.

We are A DAY AT BOLOGNA. This once prosperous and renowned city of Italy has acquired a fame in modern times for giving a name , to a certain species of sausage, which is sold in all the markets of the world. Doubtless millions have become acquainted with this species of food who have known little and cared less respecting the historic, scientific and literary character of the inhabitants of Bologna. 'l'he day we spent in this ancient city we found fully occupied in visiting churches and other places of interest . We reached Suza at nine o'clock and remained there all night.

A Jewish child was glad to know that the library is still sacredly guarded from decay and theft. The books are well arranged : the different departments -medicine, law, theology, etc., are arranged in rooms, in a line extending 600 feet. As we looked through the long vista of rooms, all stored with valuable books, we felt a profound respect for the founder of the library, and the many librarians and others who had labored to keep these thousands of volumes in such good condition. The library once contained no less than 4,000 manuscripts. The famous cardinal, Mezzofanti, was born in Bologne, in 1774, and he was once the chief librarian here before he went to Rome. The fame of this cardinal, as a linguist, is world-wide. He spoke fifty languages fluently, arid could converse in seventy-eight. 59 'l' H E F R I E N D , J U L Y , I 8 7 0 . Some years ago we remember to have read Meeting of the Alumni of Oahu ColJege. a most intP.resting account of this wonderful linguist, which was published in the North American Review, and written, we have heard, by Edward Everett. In Bologna, there are two famous leaning towers, although not leaning quite so much as the tower of Pisa. This city boasts oi having furnished eight Popes and more than one hundrecl Cardinals. lt was once the second city of Italy. Most of the streets are narrow and very irregular. The general appearance of the city is far inferior to that of Turin. During our visit to the University, our attention was especially arrested, while standing in the medical lecture room; because in that room was dissected the first human body in 1440, by Modini. On each side of the lecturer's desk stand two statues of the human body, beautifully carved in wood, showing all the veins and muscles ! It is a note-worthy fact that Galvani, the discoverer of galvanism, was once a lecturer in this University about 1700. This University is also celebrated for its famous woman-lecturers. ln the 14th century, here lectured Novella d'Andrea, and as both history and tradition say, she was so handsome that she hid her face behind her vail during the lecture, (out of a considerate regard for the feelings o{ her audience,) "Lest, if her charms were seen, the students "Should let their eyes wander o'er her "And quite forget their jurisprudence." We saw her marble bust in the library. Laura Bassi was a mathematical professor in the 18th century, and Clotilda Sambroni, a learned Greek scholar, died as late as 1817. It as customary for students attached to this University, who had distinguished themselves in any particular department, to have their "coats of arms" painted upon some part of the walls of the buildings. The " coats " still remain, and ,ve were informed by the German librarian, that their number amounted to 20,000 ; we saw them everywhere. Great indeed must have been the number of students educated here since its foundation, even supposing that foundation was in the 12th century, although some maintain that this University was founded before the days of Charlemagne, and that he aided in building it up. T1rn Goon 'fEMPLARs.-We are glad to learn from various sources that this organization is accomplishing much good. If a tree is known by its fruit, surely the tree called "Good Templar" has a good root, because it is bringing forth good fruit. The members of this Association have our most cordial sympathy and support. Long may they work together in their efforts to banish intemperance from this lnnd and the world.

In the High Tide of youth, how the pulses thrill, Till the wine cup of Health to the brim doth fill ; How the heart beats high with ambition's fond dreams, And the future is gay with brightest of schemes. In manhood's estate it continues the same: 'fhe striving for wealth, the ambition for fame, And sweet tides of Love, sweeping full o'er the heart, Add new impulse to life, with the joys they impart. High Tide is an emblem of strength and success ; All the best of our lives, we each will confess, Is given with eagerness, boldness and glee, To further our progress o'er life's bounded sea. We strive for great glory in earth's petty sphere, Forgetting the fact that our Home is not here ; We labor with zeal till our locks have grown hoar, Encteav'ring to roll ourselves far up the shore. But what are the shores of this Earth, in compare With the green fields of Heaven, so rich and so fair? And what are the glories of each fleeting breath Compared with the home we may reach after death? When our voyaging through life at an end shall be, And we launch our frail barks on yon crystal sea, When nearing the shores of that home glorified, l\Iay we find ourselves then, at our best High Tide. Y ouNG HAWAIIAN ABRoAn.-A certain Americo-Hawaiian, traveling with his parents through Europe, chanced to visit Genoa. While there, his mother said, " you nrnst not fail to go and see the monument to Christopher Columbus, because he discov• ered your country." " No, he did'nt," replied the y@uth, " Captain Cook discovered my country." This same young Hawaiian I has the reputation of standing up for hi~ native countr.v nnclrr all circumstance~ . I ,f., THE FRIEND, JULY, 1870. liO THE FRIEND. JULY 6, 187'0. Editor's Table. MEMORIAL DrscouRSE.-This disc·ourse was delivered by the Rev. James B. Miles, pastor of the first parish church, Charlestown, Mass., and is commemorative of Mrs. S. L. Hunnewell, widow of the late Captain James Hunnewell. This friend of Oahu College, and of Hawaiians, died May 2nd, 1869, and the c.leath of his beloved wife followed on the 20th of February, 1870. If Mr. Hunnewell had survived a few months longer, their golden wedding would have been celebrated; but now both have pa~sed away. They were long united in their lives, and m death they were not divided. It was our privilege t 0 enjoy the hospitality of Mrs. Hunnewell's pleasant home, in Charlestown, and experience much kindness at her hands. Jn that household, topics relating to these islands were the constant theme of discus~ion and conversation. The names of places and people were as familiar to Mr. and Mrs. Hunnewell, as to resident$ in Honolulu. Both lived to a good ,old age, and were gathered to their fathers in peace. This discourse is a beautiful tribute to Mrs. Hu-nnewell 's many virtues and excellences. A similar disc0urse was delivered by the same reverend gentleman and scholrirly divine, at the funeral of Mr. Hunnewell . It will be remembered that Mr. Hunnewell was second officer on board the brig, "Thaddeus.," in 1820, which brought the pioneer missionaries to these islands, and was the person who :first announced to the missionaries, that the Tabus were broken, and idolatry abolished. 1 REV. R1cHARD CRoKER.-We were glad to form the acquaintance of this gentleman, who is chaplain on bo.a rd H.B. M. S. Lijfey, one of the ships of the Flying Squadron. It was gratifying to find our own views and methods of laboring among seamen so ex·actly to harmonize with one who is now senior chaplain in the British navy, and ~ho will retire at the close of the present cruise. We listened to a sermon which he preached in the English Church, and found in doctrinal views he followed in the footsteps of Romaine, Thomas Scott, Leigh Richmond, Simeon, Newton, and thBt goodly company of evangelical clergymen who have preached within the fold of the English Chui-ch. In regard to seamen, he labors to keep them supplied with useful and entertain.ing reading matter during their long voyage. While at Melbourne and other places in the Colonies, he called for books, periodicals, &c., through the newspapers. At one place he received " thirteen sacks full." The limited stay of the fleet only prevented a similar call being made upon the Honolulu community. We make the aJJpeal m behalf of seamen who may follow.

F. Hunnewell, Esq., of Charlestown, Mass., and relates to the first church established in that city, in 1628. It abounds with ecclesiastical and antiquarian lore. It appears that three brothers, by the name of Sprague, came from Dorsetshire, England, and settled at Salem, and then removed to Charlestown. They found there a man by the name of Walford, living in "a pallisadoed and thatched house," and besides him many Indians, Aberginians, with good John Sagamore, their chief. Next year came the H.ev. F. Bright and other settlers from Gravesend, England. This was the beginning and first settlement of Charlestown, where now stands Bunker Hill Monument. We are pleased with the idea of searching out the olcl shrines in 1Vew England. Let them be cherished : the writer has done good service in writing out the history of this one. V We desire to assure our neighbors-:the Advertiser, Gazette, P un ch Bowl and Bennet's Own-that we appreciate their friendly and cordial welcome on our return. Two of these saw their natal day during our absence, and if our kind wishes will add to their perpetuity, the day of their exit will be pushed a long way into futurity. Why did the parents, friends, sponsors, godfather, 0r somebody else, give such a name .as ] :>runch Bowl to a neatly dressed and we,ll _p rinted monthly, of more than ordinary literary ability and excellence? We have purchased all the numbers of this paper, and hav@ had them neatly bound. We are much pleased with it, but nut with the name. Shakespeare somewhere asks, "What is in a name ?

Pardon us, brothers of the q11ill, for thus expressing our disapprobation of the name you have assumed. \Ve like everything about you .but your Name ! NEw PosTAL TREATY.-Most heartily do we congratulate the community, in view of the new postal arrangement~ between the United States and this Kingdom. Hereafter the Friend will be furnished to American subscribers for $2 25 per annum. Remittances from the United States can be made in United States postage stamps. READING RooM AT SAILOR'S Honrn.-Most emphatically do we approve of the effort of the Young Men's Christian Association of Honolulu in starting this enterprise. We know of no metho<il. i.f.l which a small contribution of funds ca:n be more usefully employed. It is a right step, and we shaH be glad to learn that the young men of Honolulu are taking many steps in the same direction. Rev. s. PUBLISHED C. Damon. BY REQUEST. Psalm XLVIII. 12, 14. "Walk about Zion and go round about her : tell the towers thereof. Mark ye well her bulwarks, consider her palaces ; that ye may tell it to the generation following. For this God is our God for ever aud ever ; He will be our guide even unto death " These words of the Psalmist came forcibly to mind as I stood on Mount Zion, contemplating the present condition of Jerusalem and its environs, and contrasting the same with the former glory and splendor of "this city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness,"-" Walk about Zion and go round about her ; tell the towers thereof; mark ye well her bulwarks." As I stood there re* fleeting, as did the historian Gibbon 1 when he sat amid the ruins of Rome, and recalled the decline and fall of the Roman Empire, it required no very vivid stretch of the imagination to adorn Mount Moriah once more with the temple of Solomon, the most costly and magnificent structure of the old world~ I seemed to see Jerusalem, as in the days of her glory and splendor, when the Queen of Sheba visited Israel's King, and found that the half had not been told her respecting the wisdom of the King, the richness, splendor and magnificence of his court and palace, in which there was " a throne of ivory overlaid with pure gold;" where, in the language of the sacred historian, "all the earth sought to Solomon, to hear his wisdom which God had put in his heart, and they brought every man his present, vessels of silver and vessels of gold, and garments, and armour, and spices, horses and mules, rate year by year. And when the King made silver to be in Jerusalem as stones." .Alas, "how hath the gold become dim, and the most fine gold changed." 1 reflected, too, upon the glory and splendor of this city of the great ·ng, even in the days of our Saviour, when that famous temple was in existence, which was "forty and six years" in building. This latter was the temple in which our Saviour preached, and respecting which he prophecied that one stone should not be left upon another, which should not be thrown down. During my sojourn I walked about the ancient dty and marked her bulwarks. I considered her palaces. I contemplated the holy city from several points of olvservation. I v.iewed it from Olivet, from Bethpage and Bethany; from the hills of Judea ; and when approaching it from the south, after a visit to Bethlehem. There is no uncertainty respecting the identity of the spot. On Mount Zion itself stands a tower or castle, called th~ "Tower of David." On ascending that tower, from its lofty battlements, a panoramic view may easily be taken of the city and the surrounding country. To the west stretch far awav the barren and treeless hills of Judea. On· the east rises the ever me., morable Mount of Olives, from the summit of which our divine Saviour ascended to heaven. While nearer, and within the city walls, is Mount Moriah, upon which once stood the temple of Solomon, but where now is to be seen the Mosque of Omah. What memories arc awakened by a vj ew of these 61 'I'HE l1'RlENn, JULY, 1870. hallowed spots? Centuries have rolled away and generations have come and gone, yet there remain the same Mounts. It was pleasant, but sad, to look forth upon these consecrated sites, where once stood so many grand edifices. While everywhere I found much to interest, instruct and impress the thoughtful and reflective mind, there was one spot which, in a special manner, arrested my attention. I refer to that street running along the walls of the ancient foundations of Solomon's temple. There, on every Friday, for centuries, have congregated the descendants of Abraham, to lament and wail over the desolation and ruins of the temple, and the sad profanation now reigning there, in consequence of the Mohammedans who have erected a mosque on the spot where once stood Solomon's temple. There I witnessed the tears of the wailing Jews, and listened to their sad complaints. No one looking upon their sorrowful countenances could doubt their sincerity, or fail to to be impressed by their flowing- tears. "At the destruction of their temple, 'in the words of another, broke forth a wail ' from the hapless Jews, more sad than any their own sorrows had ever occasioned. It was repeated in desolate Galilee and wild Judea; in the distant synagogues of Alexandria and Rome. It has never ceased. It stiJl breaks forth from every Jewish heart; and the most touching spectacle of Modern Jerusalem is that of the cowering Israelites amidst the brutality of Turkish soldiers and the mockeries of Armenian boys, wailing over the crumbling foundations of what was once the most hallowed of earthly shrines." Oh ! how mysterious and unaccountable the fate of the Jew, when viewed from any other stand-point than that of their ancient prophecies! They are still God's chosen people, and most surely it must be a part of his great plan and purpose, in regard to his once peculiar and chosen people, that they should be thus kept a separate nation. Their present existence as a kingdom without a king, and a nation without any visible organization, is one of those standing miracles which ought to {'.Onfound the infidel and silence the sceptic in Divine Revelation. Surely, something rich and glorious must still be in store for the descendants of Abraham. Not a few eminent divines of even the present day hold to the opinion, that they are yet to be gathered once more in Palestine. This is one of the questions which much interested me during all my journeyings, not only while in the sacred city, but through the Orient, for you meet the Jews everywhere, ming Jing among the nations, yet separate from them. Not more strange would have been the fact for certain drops of water, as they were cast into the ocean centuries ago, to have remained separate and distinct; hence the peculiar interest which attaches itself to the Jewish people. There is no such spot on earth as Jerusalem. There dwelt David and the long line of kings. There our Saviour_ spent the most eventful portion of his life, and there .he was finally crucified, and there the Jew prayed "let Him be crucified, and his blood be on us and our children." .May it not be that God has answered that prayer? May it not be that the sorrows and sufferings of the Jews for eighteen centuries .ire greatly owing to the fearful part which their ancestors took in the rejection and crucifixion of our Lord? Such thoughts come naturally to mind while walking about Zion, and visiting that scene of wailing where the old and venerable sit reading their Hebrew Bibles, and teaching their children tg repeat the Psalter and lisp the Hebrew chant:;;. Who that thoughtfully contemplates such scenes can refrain from exclaiming-, in the words of Paul, " Brethren, my heart's desire and prayer to God for ...srael is that they may be saved. For I bear them record that they have a zeal for God, but not according to knowledge." As I stood contempla6ng this scene, a devout Jewish matron turned to me and asked an alms; I said" why mourn, has not the Messiah come?" She replied "He will come in God's time." But there is a brighter side to this picture. Light is dawning even upon the Jewish mind. There is a successful and prosperous English mission among the Jewish people in Jerusalem;. and some fifty families have already embraced Christianity and acknowledged Christ as the true Messiah. I met several of their missionaries, and on the last evening of my temporary sojourn in Jerusalem, attended a most interesting prayermeeting, held at the residence of Bishop Gobat. From my memoranda I quote as follows:PRAYER-MEETING IN JERUSALEM. " Having spent some days in visiting the .M.ount of Olives, Bethlehem, Bethany, and other spots in and around the " City of the Great King," the last evening of my visit had at length come. Bishop Gobat had returned the day before from a nine months' absence in Europe, and l called to pay my respects. He was ~at home, and receiving congratulations from his friends in Jerusalem. "It was Friday afternoon, the last day of the year of our Lord, 1869. As I was about to leave, Mrs. Gobat remarked, " we have a prayer-meeting here this evening, will you not be present ?" I most cordially accepted the invitation, especially as it would be the last opportunity I should enjoy for meeting with " the Disciples of Christ" in the holy city, and also because "prayer-meetings" are not common among those calling thernsel ves Episcopalians. "At the appointed hour I returned to the .Bishop's residence, on Mt. Zion, situated directly opposite the Tower of David. It appears to be the custom among German Christians to hold religious services on the last evening of the old year. There were soon gathered, in that " Upper Chamber in Jerusalem," about twenty persons-including the members of the English Mission, and several deaconesses attached to the German Orphan School at Jerusalem. "The meeting was conducted by the bishop, who gave out the hymn commencing " Come thou fount of every blessing," " Then followed a short invocation, before the reading of the XXXIVth Psalm. "Four extempore prayers were then offered, and at least three of them by clergymen of the church of England. "A German hymn was then sung, which was followed by a prayer in that language. '' Three additional extempore prayers were then offered, when the bishop g-ave out n. hymn commencing stanza: with the following " God of my life, to Thee belongs Tile thallkful heart, the grateful song, Touch'tl by Thy love, each tuneful chord Resound,; t.he praises of the Lord. "The bishop closed the meeting by offering the Lord's prayer, in which all united. This form, 1 would remark, was really the only one employed in that prayer-meeting. As English Episcopalians were decidedly in the majority, I regarded this fact as quite noteworthy. "As this was the only Protestant religious service which I was privileged to attend while in Jerusalem, I was profoundly impressed with the peculiar and remarkable character of the exercises. so much in harmony with my own feelings, and also with the spirit of those prayer-meetings held eighteen hundred years ago, in the same city, a record of which we have in the Gospels and the Book of Acts. On my return to the hotel, l was accompanied by a young man whose parents were Jewish, but who had renou need Judaism and embraced Christianity. He remarked that the Jewish proselytes had also held a prayer-meeting that afternoon. Of converted Jewish families, there are about fifty resident in Jerusalem. The English Jewish Mission is vigorously prosecuted, and good results are apparent. "The following morning, a great while before day, our party left for Jaffa. The streets were all quiet; we met only one Turkish woman, accompanied by a little girl carrying a lantern. It was a season for thoughtful meditation, to wend one's way through the narrow streets of Jerusalem, under cover of darkness. We passed out through the Jaffa Gate, and in approaching it, I saw a solitary taper burning high up on the Tower of David. The Turkish sentinel demanded our passport8, when our Dragoman satisfied him that all was right. The heavy P:ate opened, and we passed out, when some of our party sang" Jerusalem., my happy home, Name ever dear to me : When shall my labors have an end In joy, and peace, and Thee? "The sweet notes of thi~ beautiful hvmn awakened peculiar emotions as we wa.lked our horses for several miles on the road leading over the hills of Judea, towards Jaffa, the place of embarkation. "A visit to Jerusalem awakens 8ad, as well as pleasing, emotions in the Christian's mind. It is impossible to cast the eye over any quarter, but it will fail upon some spot associated with the life of our Saviour, his disciples, or some Old Testament scene." Thus far l have given to my text a local and historical meaning ; I will now invite you to contemplate Zion as now understood, not as viewed under the Jewish but the Christian dispensation. The term Zion has now come to ::;ignify the whole body of Christian believers throughout the world. The Christian Church at large is Zion ; no longer confined to Jerusalem, where David, Solomon, and the kings of Judah held their court, and where the prophets dwelt, and our Saviour was crucified. Zion now is spread over many parts of the habitable globe ; hence the propriety of such Hprcssions as arc frequently heard, "tho Zion of England," the Zion pf Amerir:i,'' 1h <:1 '' lfa ... 62 THE lrRIEND, JULY, 1870. waiian Zion," the Zion of the whole Earth." great and glorious doctrines of the Gospel, my walks, how wonderfully God can make Wherever Christians have become suffi- in obedience to the command, " Go ye into the wrath of man to praise Him, and how ciently numerous to organize a Christian all the world and preach the Gospel to every sucr.essfully God can, through the aid of Church, there is Zion.

Mr. Aheong has continued his labors among the Chinese the last year with gratifying success. He has made the tour of Oahu, and traveled over a considerable portion of Maui and Hawaii, visiting and holding meetings with his countrymen, and distributing books among them. When in Honolulu, in addition to visiting from house to house, and among the Chinese shops, he has held religious services in the Bethel, Sabbath evening, with an attendance varying from fifty to eighty Chinamen. Five Chinese have united with the church by profession the past year. One with Bethel Church, one with Kawaiahao, one with Kaneohe, one with Hilo, and one with the church at Lanai. Seven others, Mr. Aheong thinks, g ive evidence of having become Christians. Through Mr. ·Aheong's efforts $250 were contributed to the fund for the erection of the buildings for the Boarding School at Makawao, by the Chinese. The school taught by Mr. Dunscornbe in Honolulµ, has been continued with nn average attendance of 12 scholars. Our Board appropriated in aid of this school $200 for one year. The year closed with the month of February, and no new appropriation has been made by t he Board for the school, but from the first of March it has been continued by a tuition paid by those attending. Mr. Aheong thinks there has been, during the year, an addition of nearly one hundred to the Chinese population of the Islands, making the whole Chinese population in the Islands about fifteen hundred. The increase has been by immigration from China and California, and very few, he says, have left the Islands. The Hawn.iian schools established in different parts of the Islands for the Chinese have been nearly all discontinued, chiefly for the want of teachers, but partly from the laborers not finding time to attend school. The ·total amount paid this year for our Chinese work has been $1,245.75. To meet this, $323.45 have been contributed for Chinese work ; the remainder has been paid from our own funds. All from purely Hawaiian sources, except $35.20. Mr. Aheong with his family has le'ft the falands on a visit to his friends in China, to be absent one year. Theological School. The Theological School at Wailuku, was commenced in July, 1S63, and has been continued for seven years, during which time five classes have entered the school. The whole number who have entered is sixtytwo; just half of whom, thirty-one, have entered the ministry, and twelve others may be expected to enter who have not finished their course of study. Five only of those who have left the school, have gone on Foreign 1\1.issions. The instructor says, " there are however several candidates who wish to be sent either to Micronesia or to the Marquesas Islands. Five have died." The studies in the school have been Didactic Theology and Church Government, Church History, Exposition of the Bible, the composition and delivery of sermons, and once a week a theological debate. The students have been much employed in the churches of Wailuku, Waikapu and Waihee, to aid in preaching, in Sabbath-schools and in other efforts in doing good to the people. They have thus far been supported chiefly by the hospitality of the people of Wailuku and that region, and by their own industry. ·one hundred and five dollars only have been expended from the funds of the Board on the school the last year. The instructor has gone to California for a visit of three or four months, during which time the school is suspended. F emale Education. Tract Society, New York, will prepare gratuitously the electrotype plates of the Bible Dictionary, and Bible Text Book. Regarding the Commentary and Hymn Book, -and the Hymn and Tune Book, the Tract Society will doubtless be willing to print them at cost price." We hope these books will soon be in th e hands of pastors, students, and Sabbathsc hool teachers. We have, this year, printed in these islands, in four languages, fourteen different publications; four in the Hawaiian, one in the Marquesan, seven in the Gilbert Island language, and two in Ponapean, making a total of 1,557,200 pages, besides which we have received from the presses of the American Bible Society about 413,190 pages. There have been put in circulation on these islands 1,344,432 pages of Hawaiian in book form during the year, besides what is equal to 118,080 pages of Alaitla, and about 21,260 pages of Chinese works. Our gratuitous circulation of ()Ur own publications is as follows : Bibles and Testaments, 25,240 pages ; bound volumes, 34,625 pages; tracts, 12,079 pages. Our total expenditure for book department is $3,405.32, of which $500 is from the American .Board$2,401.61 avails of books, and from our own treasury $1,003.71. We lay before the Association, tables prepared by Mr. Warren Chamberlain, the clerk of our book department, showing the circulation of our books and newspaper. The last Annual Report of the Board gave an encouraging account of the condition of the Waialua school for girls. It stated '' that the pupils came together with promptitude after a vacation of two and a half months; the number has averaged about seventy during the year. The buildings are in a &atisfactorv condition and the institution has accommodations comfortable for seventyfive pupils." Much to the regret of this Board, on the 21st of June, 1669, Rev. 0. H. Gulick, who commenced the school, and for six years had most faithfully and successfully conducted all its affairs, sent into our Board his resignation as Principal of the Seminary. He however continued his services till the close of the year, when the school was discontinued and has not been reopened. The amount expended for the school for the part of the school year it was in operation from June to December 31st, is $1,475.

We have, during the past year, received from the American Bible Society a part of the new pocket edition of the New Testament and Psalms. These Testaments and Psalms have been much called for, and those in the cheapest bindings have all been disposed of, and many more might have been sold if we had had them in the Depository. This edition of the Ne\\' Testament was prepared by the American Bible Society, under the superintendence of Rev. E. W. Clark. For more than half of the year past, we have had none of the Bibles in the cheap bindings. This we regret, for both the Bibles and Testaments are often inquired for. The circulation of the Alaula has been somewhat smaller than that of the previous year. About 2460 copies have been taken, making 118,080 pages. Jt is desirable that the circulation of this paper be increased, and it is believed it might be, if more effort was made by the pastors and Sabbath-school superintendents. We have added one new question book for the use of Sabbath-schooJs-No. 5, prepared by Rev. 0. H. Gulick. Some new works, prepared for the press, were taken to the United States by Dr. Gulick, with the hope that he would arrange with some of the publishing societies for printing them. · In a letter lately received he writes, "I am happy to report that 1 have made good progress in arranging for the publication of the several important works now ready for the press.

FOREIGN DEPART.lllENT. The Mo'i'ning Star left Honolulu July 8th, 1869, on her third voyage to Micronesia. It proved to be her last voyage. She carried out the largest reinforcement of missionaries the Board has sent to this Mission. It consisted of four new missionaries and their wives, Rev. H. Aea and wife, returning to their former field of labor, and Rev. J. F. Pogue, as Delegate of the Board to its Missions in Micronesia. The outward voyage was prosperous. The several Missions were visited. Meetings of the Missions were held for counsel and for fellowship, and much good was d0ne. lt was providentially ordered that the Morning t:lta?'' should land all the missionaries and the yearly supplies for the families on the various islands, and accomplish nearly all the work of the voyage,-then was wrecked on Strong's Island October 18, 1869.

The Brethren of this Mission met at Puamau, on the island of Hivaoa, in July last, ::md formed an Association which was called "The Marquesas Evangelical Association." Each church in the islands, except the one in Uapou, was represented at that meeting by pastor and delegate,pr if no pastor by delegate. Several imrortaQt topics, relating to schools and churches, and to the Mission work generally, were discussed. A copy of the minutes of the meeting was sent to the Secretary of the Hawaiian Board. We regard the formation of the As5ociation with much satisfaction. It is an advance in the right direction. Kaiwi, of the station at Omoa, writes that, in accordance with a resolution passed at the last general meeting of the Mission, he commenced a school for adults, the design of which is to prepare teachers. He has twelve scholars in th is school; in his day shcool he has thirty-four scholars.

By letters, we had heard some months ago of the loss of the Mission house on Uapou, and supposed that the school was sosp>ended for a time ; but were glad to hear tha:t the French Governor at Nukuhiva, and other foreigners, had helped repair the loss. S. Kauwealoha reports that the girls of the school did not return to their homes after the house was burned. By the help of the Governor and the foreigners, and by the cheerful co•operation of the natives, three temporary but comfortable houses were soon put up for the school, and in a little longer time, a permanent house for himself. The contributions of the churches from the Marquesas Islands came too late to be acknowledged in the Treasurer's Report for this year. The missionaries there renew their request for two more missionaries to be sent to that field. Respectfully submitted, B. w. PARKER1 Secretary ad inte1·im.

He has regularly taken contribution at monthly concerts for the last year. The members of the church have lately built a house of worship. At Puamau there has been, for some months of the past year. a war among the natives, which has interfered with Mission work. Kekela has had six boys with him as boarding scholars, but the place has been so disturbed by war that the parents were unwilling to have their boys stay in the school. And the same cause has prevented other boys from entering the srhool. After consultation with his brethren, Kekela has decided to move to another place formerly occupied by Kapohaku. The ~hief of the valley has invited him there. Kekela thinks it a good location for a boy's boarding school. We regret to learn that the inhabitants of the Valley of Hanarnenu have been for several months engaged in war. Hapuku writes that he has not been able to visit the little church formed there, since last August, •- I I 2 P f i 1 ! u, : a 1 ;:: i [~ i~- 6· .

W. P. Alexander and Re..-. T. Coan have both gone to the United States, expecting to be absent a y-ear, more or less. Several of the pastors have been unavoidably detained from comit1g .to this anniv~rsary. Mr. and Mrs. Wilcox were with us last year; but on account. of bad. h_ealth, they had th~ approval of this asso~iat10n to go t.o the Un1!ed States, rest a While~. seek med1cal adv1c~, an~ -return to us a?'a.rn ~hen restored to health. But on arr!vrng_ rn Colebrook~ they -were both take.n sick with fever, and died suddenly; Mrs.Wilcox on the 13th, and Mr. Wilcox on the 2flth of August. Two license·d Hawaiian preac.hers of the Gospel have died the ~ast year; viz, Paulo Kapohalrn, and John 11. Mr. Kapohaku had 8 8 I 1 , I I I I , I I 8 I 39 I 4 2 1 3G 7 1:3 5 5 ' I 16 47 , 10 20 I · l , j I 6 1 . i 9 3 91 10 I 10 159 02 1 14 1 90 25 I I II I 5 I I 1 , I 48 I t I 1 I . 5 1 ' , 7 I 27 6 I a6 4 been preaching to the church and people at l\!Ioanalua and Kalihi for two years, when he was taken sick with the epidemic fever then prevailing. He died on the 20th July. The Honorable John Ii was one of the early converts to Christianity. He was very useful to the pione9r missionaries in their acquiring the language, in preparing school books, and in translating the Scriptures. He was an active, zealous and humble Christian. The last two or three years of his life, he preached the Gospel to the people at Ewa, and was very much beloved by . them. In the month of April, he was taken I sick with a fever, and died in the triumphs of faith on the 2nd of May. Perhaps we ought to mention here the death of the Rev. H. Bingham, one of the pioneers of this mission. For, last year, the Hawaiian Board sent him a cordial invitation to come and aid us in celebratino- the Jubilee of this mission. He had resoh;'ed to comply with their invitation; but God in His )rovidence interfered and called him 3811 I I I , 1 I 2 2 I 13 6 I 2 16! i 5 1 1 18 55 1 21 1 .

He died on the 11th of last November, after a brief ill ness of only three days. The Hawaiian Evangelical Associatio1 has been highly favored on this occasion by the timely visit of Dr. N. G. Clark, Foreign Secretary of the American Board in Boston He has expressed great satisfa~tion in the success of the Hawaiian Mission. And we trust that his public addresses and private counsels will be of lasting benefit to all the members of the Association. Our best wish es u:o with him on his return to the United States. The visit also of the Rev. S. Kauwealaha from the Marquesas Mission, where he has been laboring for seventeen years, has added much to the interest of this anniversary. His remarks and exhortations, both 01 home and foreign missions, have been ex ceedingly interesting. The Rev. S. P. Aheong, who labored last year as our missionary among the Chinese upon these Islands, ha:s gone with his family 1' H E ~, R 1 E N D , J U L Y , I 8 7 0 . to China, to see his parents and friends, and preach unto them the Gospel of Christ. It is uncertain whether he will return to these Islands or not. Our missionary vessel, the }lfondng Sta?·, was wrecked at Strong's Island last October. She was insured for eighteen thousand dollars; but as yet we have no intimation when another vessel will be provided to take her place. On the 31st of last December, the Rev. 0. H. Gulick closed his labors as Principal of the Waialua Female Boarding School, and dismissed the scholars for a long vacation. It is now uncertain when the school will be again revived, for want of a Principal, and suitable teachers. The Trustees of the Maka wao Seminary have commenced building a new schoolhouse, to supply the place of the one which was burnt down last year. We have hope, therefore, that that seminary will soon be in operation again. Your Committee make a brief report on the Governmeat day schools. By the reports of the different pastors of this association, there are some things quite favorable. In some of the day schools, the improvement is quite obvious. BOARDING SCHOOLS. It appears from the reports of the teachers of the boarding schools now in operation. that these schools are now in a prosperous condition; especially the school at Hilo, under the superintendence of the Rev. Mr. Lyman. INDEPENDENT SCHOOLS. The children in the independent schools are increasing in knowledge and strength, according to the wishes of their pa rents. , It is a matter of rejoicing to this association, that there is so much Christian infhrnnce exerted upon these schools at this time. BIBLES AND TESTAMENTS, Your Committee can state that in some of the parishes, a considerable number of books have been purchased the past year ; while, in other parishes, a very few have been called for. The pastors ought all to be very zealous in exhorting their people to supply themselves with books. NEWSPAPERS. The I~uokoa and Ala/itla, are two bright Jights, rendering efficien"'t aid in diffusing the Christian religion. If they shall cease to be printed and circulated, our work as pastors will be greatly retarded ; therefore, let us all be strong and zealous advocates in supporting these papers. SABBATH SCHOOLS. The ~abbath schools have been prosperous this year as in years past. A large number of verses of Scripture have been committed to memory ; a great deal of good seed has been sown in our Sabbath schools. At the close of the Sabbath School Association, the Rev. 0. H. Gulick resigned his office as President, much to the regret of all its members; for he presided with energy, :skill and watchfulness, until he now feels called by the Lord to go to another field. vVe are happy to state, however, that the Hon. C. J. Lyons has been elected president to fill the vacancy. CHURCHES. This is a year of jubilee and a time of rejoicing. The contributions for the work of the Lord, both for home and foreign missions in the Pacific, are on the increase. But, in the midst of our rejoicings, we regret to say that our churches, the past year, have not been visited by the reviving and regenerating influences of the Holy Spirit, as in years past. \Ve feel much distressed at the low state of religious feeling in all the churches throughout this group, and feel the need of the reviving influences of the Holy Spirit. Your Committee, therefore, "ould exhort all the members of this association that we aH repent and humble ourselves be: fore God, and put away our sins. Let us not trust in our own wisdom and strength, but get ]ow before God : then we may expect that he will send down upon us, and upon our churches the rain of His Holy Spirit, and His rich blessing.
