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. ---~- --- =--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-=--==---==---=-==-================================---===================~= HONOLULU, Jt\NUAltY I, 1871.

After that night in the desert among those temples and tombs, we rode over to the pyramids of Cheops and Cephrenes, called the great pyramids. The desert is here again, but the sand has not buried the pyramids and the sphinx, as it has the temples and tombs of Sakkara. No date can with certainty be determined for the building of the pyramids. There they stand as they did three or four thousand years ago, a~ great a mystery to us as they were to the oldest known historians. The largest pyramid, that of Cheops, covers eleven acres, measuring 82.110,000 solid feet, and weighs 6,316,0l'l0 tons. The height is four hundred and eighty feet. We ascended this latter pyramid, assisted by two sturdy Egyptians. The ascent was toilsome and somewhat difficult, owing to the height of the steps. From the top the view is grand. The Nile stretr.hes far in a silvery thread through the green valley;the desert skirting the valley. We were in a vast solitude, a sandy waste. We could see the sphinx gazing with prophetic eye at the Nile. The sphinx has a beautiful face, calm and resolute, though somewhat defaced, with the body of a lion and the head of a woman,emblematical of wisdom and strength. Here on top of the pyramids, for thou~ands of years, the names of pilgrims have been cut in the solid rock. Time seems to have no influence over the pyramids. From age to age they appear the same. Man, if he had had the power, would haYe destroyed them, but they are too vaRt to be removed by the hand of man. They defy the assaults of time. We entered the inner chamber of the great pyramid. There was a large sarcophagus, once containing the body of the king in whose honor the pyramid was probably built. It is an immense stone cut from the solid rock, hollowed out in fine proportions and bea,1tifully polished. A Lord Elgin, if possible, would have removed it from its ancient base, but it is too vast and too massive ever to be removed, at least in our time. How were these great stones cut from the quarries? Obelisks ninety feet long and statues forty feet high were cut from the solid rock by the ancient Egyptians. It is only lately the probable discovery has been made. A recent writer has remarked, that the blocks of stone selected for these monuments were not chance splinters from barbarous efforts of splitting and smashmg, but clean slices separated from the native rock, after being selected and accurately defined. And how was this done? By driving in huge iron wedges? No indeed; that would probably have split the stone. By infinite labor in chiseling and sawing? No; the ancient Egyptians knew better than that. They cut a small groove along the whole length of say gne hundred feet, and in this inserted a number of wooden wedges. Then they poured water into the groove, and the wedges expanding simultaneously and with great force, broke away the huge fragment, as neatly as a strip of glass is taken off by a diamond. Cairo is a fair type of an Oriental city. The people are mostly Mohammedans, although the Copts, who are believed to be the descendants of the anr.ient Egyptians, form a larcre class of the population. They hnve a -=-- · --- form of Christianity, but that form seems lifeless and fruitless. The mosques are large, but with no adornment in the interior. Daily from the minarets of the mosques the voice ot the muezzin is heard : "There i:s no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet." The streets are narrow, except in the modern part of the city, where the Khedive is endeavoring to imitate Paris in the erection of long boulevards. We visited the Royal Mosque, which was magnificent, with its marble and alabaster. The population of the city is estimated at five hundred thousand, but a more wretched, ignorant and degraded population it would be difficult to find. Modern civilization makes little impress on the people. The town of Bqu lac is the port of Cairo on the Nile, and lies about a mile from the city. Here the Khedive is forming n museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is a very valuable and extensive one now, probably the largest in the world, although the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum contain a noble collection. It was pleasant to wander through those galleries of Boulac. Here were rich antique jewels, that the daughters of the Pharaohs may once have worn. Here were statues and busts, perchance of the Shepherd Kings. Here was mortality in the shape of the ~kin and bones of royal mummies, all wrapt in perfumed cerements, which we trnst may yet put 011 the robe of immortality. Their bodies have not yet crumbled to dust, for the asphaltum has thus far preserved their witherecl forms. We prefer the quiet grave to the stately mummy for our resting place in this world.

He has purchased a good whaleboat and outfit, Capt.

To complete the outfit is wanted-a compass, ct good fowling-piece, a few cwticles of cloth- in,q, shoes, ancl a nautical almanac for 1850. Will not some benevolent person aid forward the enterprise.

The Sa1·ah Boycl sailed on the 17th, but before sailing, the United States Consul, Judge Allen, at our request furnished Mungero with a duly certified document of American citizenship, well supplied with '' seals." Capt. Whitmore reported on his arrival at 8hanghae that he launched the boat and his three Japanese passengers off the Loochoo Islands. The original account of the expe• dition will be found in the F'riend of January 1st, 1851. Ten years passed before we were able to obtain a single item of information respecting Mungero, although we made most diligent inquiry of several officers attached to Perry's United States Exploring Expedition. On the 17th of May, 1860, the Japanese steamer I{"anclinmcwrali arrived in Honolulu, having our old friend Mungero on board as interpreter. Never were we more surprised. He appeared to us as one from the dead! At our request he gave the following account of himself, which will be found in the F'riencl of June 1st, 1860. "In January, 1851, Capt. Whitmore, of the Sar-ctl-1, Boyd, launched the boat 'Adventurer' from his deck off Great Loochoo, wind blowing fresh from N. W., accompanied with hail. The ship was about five miles from land. After rowing hard for ten hours, we anchored near the land. Next morning I sent Denzo on shore, but he returned with a 'tear in his eye,' because he had forgotten his native language, and was unable to communicate with the people. We all went' on shore, and I took a loaded pistol; we made signs to the people for water, and they conducted us to a pond; we now boiled our coffee and ate some beef and pork, 'American fashion.' The people gave us some sweet potatoes and rice. As we could not speak to the people, we were conducted to a government office, about one mile off, where some rice was given us, in order to see if we could eat rice with t\\ o chop-sticks ! We showed them that we knew how to handle the chopsticks, and this exploit settled the question of our nationality, for we were pronounced From a New Bedford paper, as well as from a letter from Capt. Whitfield, we learn that seven Japanese have arrived in the United Stutes, en route for Europe, who have been sent by the Japanese Government upon a tour of inspection relative to the war now raging. Respecting one of these Envoys a remarkable story may be told, confirming the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." Our part of the story shall commence with his arrival in Honolulu in the fall of 1850, just twenty years ago. He then came from the m inijs of California, and deposited with us about $75, stating that he was desirous of returning to Japan. We listened to his plan of an expedition with no small amount of incredulity, intimating that he would be executed if he returned to his native land but so earnest was he, that we gathered about $100 from a few of the foreign residents of Honolulu, to add to the money already in hand, for the purpose of buying a whaleboat and outfit. This was done, but a few more fixtures were needed, and the following appeal was inserted in the Polynesian of December 14th, 1850 : "EXPEDITION FOR JAPAN.-The public is aware that from time to time wrecked Japan- Japanese! ese have been brought to the Sandwich Isl"A messenger was then dispatched to a ands.

We spent six months in Loochoo, when we were conveyed in a junk to the island of Kiusiu, near the southern point of the island we were there taken under the care of the Prince of Thiztumar we remained at this place forty-eight days. The Prince made very many inquiries respecting America and American people, and our treatment. This prince has great influence; he treated me with much kindness. "We were then removed to Nangasaki, where we were joined by five more shipwrecked Japanese sailors, who had been forwarded from Honolulu to their own country via China. At N'angasaki we were detained thirty months, not however being confined to a close prison, but allowed large liberties. At the end of two and a half years, we were allowed to proceed to our homes, and, so far as I know, all my companions safely reached their homes, and were welcomed by their friends. I went to Xicoco. After thirteen years' absence, I was joyfully welcomed by my mother. My father died before I left home. My mother had mourned for me as dead under that impression, she had built for me a tomb. I remained at home 'three days and three nights;' I was then removed, with my good boat 'Adventurer,' to Yeddo, where I was promoted to the rank of an Imperial officer, wearing two swords ! For several years I was employed in Yeddo. I was for a long time occupied in translating " Bowditch's Navigator; " it was a long and laborious work. I have built manv boats after the model of the American whaleboat 'Adventurer.' My old whaleboat is now in government store-house at the city of Yeddo. I have been very often consulted a, respecting questions relating to Americans and foreigners. I have had charge of some of the presents which were brought by Commodore Perry. I was in Yeddo at the period of Commodore Perry's visit, but was not introduced to any of the officers of the expedition. I am thirty-six years old. I am married, and have three children. I am captain in the navy, and, at home, have charge of a vessel." At the time of his visit in 1860, he presented us with a sword, reported to be two hundred years old, and also with another gift, which we prize vastly more than we do the sword. It was a translation of "Bowditch's Navigator," in two volumes, which we still retain as amon!s the most rare and remarkable of literary coriosities. This translation includes dia,qrams and logar'itlimic tables in full. ·when noticing Munjero's visit in 1860, we closed an article with the fo1lowing paragraph: 3 and progress of which he is most ardently devoted. His love for Japan is great." During the last ten years we have occasionally heard from the HERO of our story, but surely we never expected to learn that we should have the pleasure of recording the fact that his government had honored him with the appointment of an Envoy to Europe, to inspect lhe warlike operations of the Prussians and the French. We hope on his return to Japan, he may take Honolulu in his route. neatly kept and well conducted under the "' constant supervision of Mr. ·Dunscombe, employed by the Young Men's Christian Association. In concluding our report, we would remark that until the traveling community visiting Honolulu will authorize the establishment of a first clasl" hotel, the IIome claims to be sustained for the benefit of transient boarders and travelers, as well as for seamen. ~- C.

Sixteen years ago the friends of seamen in Honolulu organized the " Honolulu Sailor's Home Society," and stated their object to be, the improvement of "the social, moral and religious condition of seamen resorting to this port, by promoting the establishment and maintenance of a Home of good character, from which all intoxicating liquors shall be excluded, and in such other ways as shall be de~med proper." The Home was finished and opened for boarders in the fa]l of 1856, or fourteen years ago, and never has been closed. If the Home has not accomplished all that its founders and patrons hoped for, yet enough has been accomplished to pronounce the Home a success. The trustees have been hitherto peculiarly fortunate in securing the services of efficient keepers. The present occupant, Mrs. Crabbe, has done all that could be accomplished to carry out the original design of 1 the institution. During the past year, or few years, while the number of foreign seamen resorting to this port has diminished, and consequently a proportional less number of common sea• men have resorte~ to the Horne as boarders, the rooms and table have been occupied by a greater number of ship-masters and their families, and by transient boarders from the other islands and abroad hence the Home has not ceased to prove a blessing to the Honolulu public, which has liberally contributed for its erection and support. One thing must be admitted in favor of the Horne and those who have carried it forward,-in The late General William Williams. Recent papers and private letters announce the death of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., at the advanced age of 82 years. Few men in New England of the generation now passing away, have occupied so high a place in the love and esteem of the friends of education, domestic and foreign missions, and public charities, as this gentleman. He was t1·uly a, Christian gentlemctn. In his own neighborhood he was associated with every g:ood and philanthropic enterprise. The interests of the Mohegan Mission, common schools and the Norwich Free Academy occupied his constant thoughts, while he was scrupulously punctual to his duties as a bank officer and citizen. His sympathies were not narrowed down to his own church or neighborhood, but his thoughts went abroad with missionaries in Asia M.inor, China, India, and the islands of the sea. Long wiU his friends, acquaintances and guests remember his generous hospitality, genial kindness and .Princely beneficence. Our young College at Punahou is indebted to him for a part of its endowm8nt. The death of such men recall the words of the Revelator John : "And I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, write, Blessed are the dead which die in the Lord from henceforth; yea saith the spirit, that they may rest from tµeir labors; and their works do follow them."

It would seem difficult to define the exact meaning of the words of Christ, "If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him," from the rarity with which it is correctly explained. lt is nevertheless moS t important, for by teachings, based upon a mistaken interpretation, much harm may be done. To those whose religion consists more in avoiding what is wrong than in seeking that which is right, the question, what is worldliness, is a most miserably perplexing one. Under a wrong understanding of it, and from a failure to app1eciate the spirit of the command, 'Come out from among them, and be ye separate from them,' much that is innocent is forbidden, while on the other hand, much that is injurious is allowecd. From the frequent expression of religious teaching, it would seem that Christ's words tr.e world witb an enthusiasm and an enjoyment impossible to those whose love is centred upon an inferior object. Therefore if we read the text, "If any man's life is consecrated to the world, the love of the Father is not in him," its meaning is pl~in and most forcible, for whoever loves himself supremely is sure to think littie of God and much of the world, for the simple reason that he can make the world minister most directly to his self-service; and so the word worldliness ::onveys to us its real meaning, and the religiqus teacher under the simplicity of the truth need worry himself and perplex his hearers less, in oph . • posing worldliness with ex ortat10ns agamst trespassing on the prerogatives of the world, . as if the world had a single prerogative over the church, or with elaborat~ disquisitions on the evangelical superiority of one recreation over another, on this subject are too often misunderstood. Delight in the good things of the world; Christians are exhorted to come out from joy in its beauty, in the thousand rich influthe world, to renounce its pleasures, in words enc·es it yielEis to the needy heart of man, which show a meaning no deeper than the idea of a liteml separation to a certain ex- these do not corrupt humanity: it is selfishtent from the rest of mankind in matters of ness, .pride, envy, a want of charity, or in social intercourse, of rigidly shunni_ng worldly one word, worldliness, which separate men amusements and delights, and generally of from the Father. the cultivation of a feeling of disregard for Doers of Good. the world, and the chings of the world.

Rejoice together there." It is impossible that Christ, so evidently a One of the best features of an Association student and a lover of Nature, who drew the like ours is its disinterestedness. lts memillustrations of his teachings from the trees hers become members for the sake bf doing and the flowers and the birds, who mingled something for others; at least this is the freely with men, and participated in the so- theory: to do something by which other men cial :pleasures of his time, should hav.e in- may be benefited, their lives made happier, tended such an understanding of his words. their burdens lighter, themselves stronger to God, and to kindly exertion for others ou_t of love to both God and man : and much to be doubted is that profession, however correct in doctrine it may be, which yields not the fruit of Charity. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father, is this : To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.'' This is the grand and common ground on which all \\ ho love the Father may meet and fully sympathize, without regard to bars of sect; and to the doers of good, and to them only, come the great promises of the future glory. In doing good, results do not decide the blessing. The vineyard laborers of one hour received the wages of a full day; the widow's mite, and the gift of spikenard, were not insianificant, for they were accompanied with tht>e largess of love from foll hearts, which did what they could. Life-times of service and the gift of princely fortunes could do no more: they would even count for nothing, without the motive actuating- the •others. We have the promise th~at efforts to do good will riot be lost or come to nothing; we may not know when or where, but the harvest will be gathered in to the Master. (t7' The Commiss10ners on Ritual seem to have had a tough time with the Athanasian creed, especially with its terrible damnatory clause. Lacking the courage squarely to advocate its rejection from the Prayer Book, after long consideration of how to do it, and . how not to do it, they finally hit upon the remamable expedient of putting into the rubric in the margin, the following highly Ensign-Stebbins-ish note : "}Vote, that the condemnations in this confession of faith are to be no otherwise understood than as a solemn warning of the peril of those who willfully reject the Catholic faith." They are in favor of the creed, but opposed to its enforcement!

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. ---~- --- =--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=-=--==---==---=-==-================================---===================~= HONOLULU, Jt\NUAltY I, 1871.

After that night in the desert among those temples and tombs, we rode over to the pyramids of Cheops and Cephrenes, called the great pyramids. The desert is here again, but the sand has not buried the pyramids and the sphinx, as it has the temples and tombs of Sakkara. No date can with certainty be determined for the building of the pyramids. There they stand as they did three or four thousand years ago, a~ great a mystery to us as they were to the oldest known historians. The largest pyramid, that of Cheops, covers eleven acres, measuring 82.110,000 solid feet, and weighs 6,316,0l'l0 tons. The height is four hundred and eighty feet. We ascended this latter pyramid, assisted by two sturdy Egyptians. The ascent was toilsome and somewhat difficult, owing to the height of the steps. From the top the view is grand. The Nile stretr.hes far in a silvery thread through the green valley;the desert skirting the valley. We were in a vast solitude, a sandy waste. We could see the sphinx gazing with prophetic eye at the Nile. The sphinx has a beautiful face, calm and resolute, though somewhat defaced, with the body of a lion and the head of a woman,emblematical of wisdom and strength. Here on top of the pyramids, for thou~ands of years, the names of pilgrims have been cut in the solid rock. Time seems to have no influence over the pyramids. From age to age they appear the same. Man, if he had had the power, would haYe destroyed them, but they are too vaRt to be removed by the hand of man. They defy the assaults of time. We entered the inner chamber of the great pyramid. There was a large sarcophagus, once containing the body of the king in whose honor the pyramid was probably built. It is an immense stone cut from the solid rock, hollowed out in fine proportions and bea,1tifully polished. A Lord Elgin, if possible, would have removed it from its ancient base, but it is too vast and too massive ever to be removed, at least in our time. How were these great stones cut from the quarries? Obelisks ninety feet long and statues forty feet high were cut from the solid rock by the ancient Egyptians. It is only lately the probable discovery has been made. A recent writer has remarked, that the blocks of stone selected for these monuments were not chance splinters from barbarous efforts of splitting and smashmg, but clean slices separated from the native rock, after being selected and accurately defined. And how was this done? By driving in huge iron wedges? No indeed; that would probably have split the stone. By infinite labor in chiseling and sawing? No; the ancient Egyptians knew better than that. They cut a small groove along the whole length of say gne hundred feet, and in this inserted a number of wooden wedges. Then they poured water into the groove, and the wedges expanding simultaneously and with great force, broke away the huge fragment, as neatly as a strip of glass is taken off by a diamond. Cairo is a fair type of an Oriental city. The people are mostly Mohammedans, although the Copts, who are believed to be the descendants of the anr.ient Egyptians, form a larcre class of the population. They hnve a -=-- · --- form of Christianity, but that form seems lifeless and fruitless. The mosques are large, but with no adornment in the interior. Daily from the minarets of the mosques the voice ot the muezzin is heard : "There i:s no God but God, and Mohammed is his prophet." The streets are narrow, except in the modern part of the city, where the Khedive is endeavoring to imitate Paris in the erection of long boulevards. We visited the Royal Mosque, which was magnificent, with its marble and alabaster. The population of the city is estimated at five hundred thousand, but a more wretched, ignorant and degraded population it would be difficult to find. Modern civilization makes little impress on the people. The town of Bqu lac is the port of Cairo on the Nile, and lies about a mile from the city. Here the Khedive is forming n museum of Egyptian antiquities. It is a very valuable and extensive one now, probably the largest in the world, although the Louvre in Paris and the British Museum contain a noble collection. It was pleasant to wander through those galleries of Boulac. Here were rich antique jewels, that the daughters of the Pharaohs may once have worn. Here were statues and busts, perchance of the Shepherd Kings. Here was mortality in the shape of the ~kin and bones of royal mummies, all wrapt in perfumed cerements, which we trnst may yet put 011 the robe of immortality. Their bodies have not yet crumbled to dust, for the asphaltum has thus far preserved their witherecl forms. We prefer the quiet grave to the stately mummy for our resting place in this world.

He has purchased a good whaleboat and outfit, Capt. Whitmore, of the American ship Sarah Boyd, having kindly offered to leave them somewhere off the Loochoo falan<ls, and from thence they hope to make their way to Japan. To complete the outfit is wanted-a compass, ct good fowling-piece, a few cwticles of cloth- in,q, shoes, ancl a nautical almanac for 1850. Will not some benevolent person aid forward the enterprise. The subscriber will be responsible for the safe delivery t>f the articles referred to. S. C. DAMON." The Sa1·ah Boycl sailed on the 17th, but before sailing, the United States Consul, Judge Allen, at our request furnished Mungero with a duly certified document of American citizenship, well supplied with '' seals." Capt. Whitmore reported on his arrival at 8hanghae that he launched the boat and his three Japanese passengers off the Loochoo Islands. The original account of the expe• dition will be found in the F'riend of January 1st, 1851. Ten years passed before we were able to obtain a single item of information respecting Mungero, although we made most diligent inquiry of several officers attached to Perry's United States Exploring Expedition. On the 17th of May, 1860, the Japanese steamer I{"anclinmcwrali arrived in Honolulu, having our old friend Mungero on board as interpreter. Never were we more surprised. He appeared to us as one from the dead! At our request he gave the following account of himself, which will be found in the F'riencl of June 1st, 1860. "In January, 1851, Capt. Whitmore, of the Sar-ctl-1, Boyd, launched the boat 'Adventurer' from his deck off Great Loochoo, wind blowing fresh from N. W., accompanied with hail. The ship was about five miles from land. After rowing hard for ten hours, we anchored near the land. Next morning I sent Denzo on shore, but he returned with a 'tear in his eye,' because he had forgotten his native language, and was unable to communicate with the people. We all went' on shore, and I took a loaded pistol; we made signs to the people for water, and they conducted us to a pond; we now boiled our coffee and ate some beef and pork, 'American fashion.' The people gave us some sweet potatoes and rice. As we could not speak to the people, we were conducted to a government office, about one mile off, where some rice was given us, in order to see if we could eat rice with t\\ o chop-sticks ! We showed them that we knew how to handle the chopsticks, and this exploit settled the question of our nationality, for we were pronounced From a New Bedford paper, as well as from a letter from Capt. Whitfield, we learn that seven Japanese have arrived in the United Stutes, en route for Europe, who have been sent by the Japanese Government upon a tour of inspection relative to the war now raging. Respecting one of these Envoys a remarkable story may be told, confirming the old saying that "truth is stranger than fiction." Our part of the story shall commence with his arrival in Honolulu in the fall of 1850, just twenty years ago. He then came from the m inijs of California, and deposited with us about $75, stating that he was desirous of returning to Japan. We listened to his plan of an expedition with no small amount of incredulity, intimating that he would be executed if he returned to his native land but so earnest was he, that we gathered about $100 from a few of the foreign residents of Honolulu, to add to the money already in hand, for the purpose of buying a whaleboat and outfit. This was done, but a few more fixtures were needed, and the following appeal was inserted in the Polynesian of December 14th, 1850 : "EXPEDITION FOR JAPAN.-The public is aware that from time to time wrecked Japan- Japanese! ese have been brought to the Sandwich Isl"A messenger was then dispatched to a ands.

We spent six months in Loochoo, when we were conveyed in a junk to the island of Kiusiu, near the southern point of the island we were there taken under the care of the Prince of Thiztumar we remained at this place forty-eight days. The Prince made very many inquiries respecting America and American people, and our treatment. This prince has great influence; he treated me with much kindness. "We were then removed to Nangasaki, where we were joined by five more shipwrecked Japanese sailors, who had been forwarded from Honolulu to their own country via China. At N'angasaki we were detained thirty months, not however being confined to a close prison, but allowed large liberties. At the end of two and a half years, we were allowed to proceed to our homes, and, so far as I know, all my companions safely reached their homes, and were welcomed by their friends. I went to Xicoco. After thirteen years' absence, I was joyfully welcomed by my mother. My father died before I left home. My mother had mourned for me as dead under that impression, she had built for me a tomb. I remained at home 'three days and three nights;' I was then removed, with my good boat 'Adventurer,' to Yeddo, where I was promoted to the rank of an Imperial officer, wearing two swords ! For several years I was employed in Yeddo. I was for a long time occupied in translating " Bowditch's Navigator; " it was a long and laborious work. I have built manv boats after the model of the American whaleboat 'Adventurer.' My old whaleboat is now in government store-house at the city of Yeddo. I have been very often consulted a, respecting questions relating to Americans and foreigners. I have had charge of some of the presents which were brought by Commodore Perry. I was in Yeddo at the period of Commodore Perry's visit, but was not introduced to any of the officers of the expedition. I am thirty-six years old. I am married, and have three children. I am captain in the navy, and, at home, have charge of a vessel." At the time of his visit in 1860, he presented us with a sword, reported to be two hundred years old, and also with another gift, which we prize vastly more than we do the sword. It was a translation of "Bowditch's Navigator," in two volumes, which we still retain as amon!s the most rare and remarkable of literary coriosities. This translation includes dia,qrams and logar'itlimic tables in full. ·when noticing Munjero's visit in 1860, we closed an article with the fo1lowing paragraph: 3 and progress of which he is most ardently devoted. His love for Japan is great." During the last ten years we have occasionally heard from the HERO of our story, but surely we never expected to learn that we should have the pleasure of recording the fact that his government had honored him with the appointment of an Envoy to Europe, to inspect lhe warlike operations of the Prussians and the French. We hope on his return to Japan, he may take Honolulu in his route. neatly kept and well conducted under the "' constant supervision of Mr. ·Dunscombe, employed by the Young Men's Christian Association. In concluding our report, we would remark that until the traveling community visiting Honolulu will authorize the establishment of a first clasl" hotel, the IIome claims to be sustained for the benefit of transient boarders and travelers, as well as for seamen. ~- C. DAMON, Chairman of Ex. Committee. Sixteenth Annual Report of the Hono• Honolulu, Dec. 22<l, 1870. lulu Sailor's Honie Society. Sixteen years ago the friends of seamen in Honolulu organized the " Honolulu Sailor's Home Society," and stated their object to be, the improvement of "the social, moral and religious condition of seamen resorting to this port, by promoting the establishment and maintenance of a Home of good character, from which all intoxicating liquors shall be excluded, and in such other ways as shall be de~med proper." The Home was finished and opened for boarders in the fa]l of 1856, or fourteen years ago, and never has been closed. If the Home has not accomplished all that its founders and patrons hoped for, yet enough has been accomplished to pronounce the Home a success. The trustees have been hitherto peculiarly fortunate in securing the services of efficient keepers. The present occupant, Mrs. Crabbe, has done all that could be accomplished to carry out the original design of 1 the institution. During the past year, or few years, while the number of foreign seamen resorting to this port has diminished, and consequently a proportional less number of common sea• men have resorte~ to the Horne as boarders, the rooms and table have been occupied by a greater number of ship-masters and their families, and by transient boarders from the other islands and abroad hence the Home has not ceased to prove a blessing to the Honolulu public, which has liberally contributed for its erection and support. One thing must be admitted in favor of the Horne and those who have carried it forward,-in The late General William Williams. Recent papers and private letters announce the death of General Williams, of Norwich, Ct., at the advanced age of 82 years. Few men in New England of the generation now passing away, have occupied so high a place in the love and esteem of the friends of education, domestic and foreign missions, and public charities, as this gentleman. He was t1·uly a, Christian gentlemctn. In his own neighborhood he was associated with every g:ood and philanthropic enterprise. The interests of the Mohegan Mission, common schools and the Norwich Free Academy occupied his constant thoughts, while he was scrupulously punctual to his duties as a bank officer and citizen. His sympathies were not narrowed down to his own church or neighborhood, but his thoughts went abroad with missionaries in Asia M.inor, China, India, and the islands of the sea.

It would seem difficult to define the exact meaning of the words of Christ, "If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him," from the rarity with which it is correctly explained. lt is nevertheless moS t important, for by teachings, based upon a mistaken interpretation, much harm may be done. To those whose religion consists more in avoiding what is wrong than in seeking that which is right, the question, what is worldliness, is a most miserably perplexing one. Under a wrong understanding of it, and from a failure to app1eciate the spirit of the command, 'Come out from among them, and be ye separate from them,' much that is innocent is forbidden, while on the other hand, much that is injurious is allowecd. From the frequent expression of religious teaching, it would seem that Christ's words tr.e world witb an enthusiasm and an enjoyment impossible to those whose love is centred upon an inferior object. Therefore if we read the text, "If any man's life is consecrated to the world, the love of the Father is not in him," its meaning is pl~in and most forcible, for whoever loves himself supremely is sure to think littie of God and much of the world, for the simple reason that he can make the world minister most directly to his self-service; and so the word worldliness ::onveys to us its real meaning, and the religiqus teacher under the simplicity of the truth need worry himself and perplex his hearers less, in oph . • posing worldliness with ex ortat10ns agamst trespassing on the prerogatives of the world, . as if the world had a single prerogative over the church, or with elaborat~ disquisitions on the evangelical superiority of one recreation over another, on this subject are too often misunderstood. Delight in the good things of the world; Christians are exhorted to come out from joy in its beauty, in the thousand rich influthe world, to renounce its pleasures, in words enc·es it yielEis to the needy heart of man, which show a meaning no deeper than the idea of a liteml separation to a certain ex- these do not corrupt humanity: it is selfishtent from the rest of mankind in matters of ness, .pride, envy, a want of charity, or in social intercourse, of rigidly shunni_ng worldly one word, worldliness, which separate men amusements and delights, and generally of from the Father. the cultivation of a feeling of disregard for Doers of Good. the world, and the chings of the world.

Rejoice together there." It is impossible that Christ, so evidently a One of the best features of an Association student and a lover of Nature, who drew the like ours is its disinterestedness. lts memillustrations of his teachings from the trees hers become members for the sake bf doing and the flowers and the birds, who mingled something for others; at least this is the freely with men, and participated in the so- theory: to do something by which other men cial :pleasures of his time, should hav.e in- may be benefited, their lives made happier, tended such an understanding of his words. their burdens lighter, themselves stronger to God, and to kindly exertion for others ou_t of love to both God and man : and much to be doubted is that profession, however correct in doctrine it may be, which yields not the fruit of Charity. "Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father, is this : To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.'' This is the grand and common ground on which all \\ ho love the Father may meet and fully sympathize, without regard to bars of sect; and to the doers of good, and to them only, come the great promises of the future glory. In doing good, results do not decide the blessing. The vineyard laborers of one hour received the wages of a full day; the widow's mite, and the gift of spikenard, were not insianificant, for they were accompanied with tht>e largess of love from foll hearts, which did what they could. Life-times of service and the gift of princely fortunes could do no more: they would even count for nothing, without the motive actuating- the •others. We have the promise th~at efforts to do good will riot be lost or come to nothing; we may not know when or where, but the harvest will be gathered in to the Master. (t7' The Commiss10ners on Ritual seem to have had a tough time with the Athanasian creed, especially with its terrible damnatory clause. Lacking the courage squarely to advocate its rejection from the Prayer Book, after long consideration of how to do it, and . how not to do it, they finally hit upon the remamable expedient of putting into the rubric in the margin, the following highly Ensign-Stebbins-ish note : "}Vote, that the condemnations in this confession of faith are to be no otherwise understood than as a solemn warning of the peril of those who willfully reject the Catholic faith." They are in favor of the creed, but opposed to its enforcement!
