Description | 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. |

By B. F. Cocker, D . D., Profesl!lor of Mental and Moml Philosophy in the Unive1•sity of Michigan. Harper & Brothers : 1870. Eighteen hundred years ago, the Apostle Paul declared on Mars' Hill, in Athens, that God had "made of one blood all nations of men." There is not only a unity o·f race, but a unity in the desires, thoughts and aspirations of all men. Be who would truly understand what is in man, or mankind at large, must study not only human nature :a s manifested in one part of the world and in one nation, but he must study the peoples of all lands and all ages. In order to do this, we see the importance of studying carefully the influence of those old Greek philosophers, Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, whose thoughts and teachings have exerted such a controlling infl~ence upon the world. Not lcmg since we read with intense interest Draper's " Intellectual Development of Europe," in which work the reader's attention was directed to the influence of the Grecian poets, mathematicians and philosophers upon the condition of knowledgP. as it now appears in Europe and America. Now we have another work upon a somewhat kindred subject, "Christianity and Greek Philosophy," while another of close relationship, Tyler's " Theology of the Greek Poets,'' is lying on our table. All these works take us back to Greece, and make us realize that there may be much of truth in the somewhat strong language of R. W. Emerson, when he says, in remarking upon books, in " Society and Solitude : " "Of Plato I hesitate to speak, lest there should be no end. -l!: ,t * He contains the future, as he came out of the past.
