| Summary: | 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. T h e Pacif"ic.

Some months ago we copied some extracts from Miss Bird's book, but on giving the volume a second reading, we meet scores of paragraphs and passages which we should be glad to republish in our columns. 1t is a book of genius; it is a prose-poem. Some of her descriptions of mountain and valley scenery are exquisitely beautiful and truthful. She revels m the beauties of wild nature. English naval officers (as we happen to know) sitting around their mess-table and touching their champagne glasses, may smile at what they style lV~iss Bird's descriptions as good specimens of "gush " in literature, but until they explore our mountc1ins and valleys on horseback, and after a hard day's ride of forty miles over the rough and rugged lava roads of Hawaii, can sit down in a· native hut by the dim light of an old lamp, and write such letters as this volume contains, we think these critics may modestly withhold their supercilious comments. Miss Bird came to the islands nn invalid, and totally ignorant of what they contained. She came, too, with perhaps a tinge of prejudice, and at first thought of spending only a month, making merely a rapid trip to the crater of Kilauea; but how changed her plans, when with the eye of a poet, a naturalist and a scientist, she began her explorations. For months she roamed over the islands, and this volume of letters to her sister in England, are the "jottings " which she noted from day to day. They partake. of the sweet perfume of the fields and the woods, the valleys and the mo untains. We regret that our book-sellers are so tardy in, placing the volume upon their counters.

Green (now Mini st er of th e Interior), an English resident in Honolulu, a gentleman pf wide scientific and literary f.Ulture, one of whose objects in visiting Hawaii is th e inye st igation of certain volcanic ph,momena. He asked me to make the ascent of Mauna Kea th wi him, a nd we have satisfactorily accom- plished it to-day. The interior of the island, iJJ which w.e have spent the last two days1 is totally di.&ferent, not only from the hn:uriant windward s lopes, but from the fiery le,e ward margin. rJ_'he altitude of the central plateau is from f>,000 to 6,000 feet, there is not a single ;native dwelling on it, or even a trail acr-0ss it, it is totally destitute of water, and sustains only .a miserable scrub of rna.mane, stunted oliias, pu1ceawe, olielos, a few .compositre, and some of the hardiest ferns. The transient residents of this sheep station, and those of another on Hualalai, thirty miles off, are the only human inhabitants of a region as large as Kent.- W il<,l goats, wild geese .(}3ernicla sandvicensis), anc;l the Melithreptes ,Pacifica, constitute its chief population. These geese are web-foote~, though water does not exist. They build their nests in the grass, and lay two or three white eggs. Our track from Waimea lay for the first few miles over light soil, destitute of any vegetation, across dry glaring rocky beds of streams, and round the bases of numerous tufa cones, from 200 to 1,500 feet"in height, with steep smooth ~ides, composed of a very red ash. We crossed a flank of Mauna Kea at a height of 6,000 feet, and a short deseent brought us out upon this vast table 'land, which lies betwP.en the bulbous domes of M auna Ken, Mauna Loa , and Hualalni, the deep snow on the crest of the highest peak in the Pacific, 13,953 feet above the sea. This summit 1s a group of six red tufa cones, with very little apparent difference in their altitude, and with deep valleys filled with red ash between them. The terminal cone on which we were has no cavity, but most of those forming the group, as well as the thirty which I counted around and below us, are truncated cones with craters within, and with outer slopes, whose estimated angle is about 30 On these slopes the snow lay heavily. In coming up we had had a superb view of Mauna Loa, but before ,ve reached the top, the clouds had congregated, and lay in glistening masses all round the mountain about half-way up, shutting out the smiling earth, and leaving us alone with the view of the sublime desolation of the volcano. We only remained an hour on the top, and came down by a very circuitous route, which took us round numerous cones, and over miles of clinkers varying in size from a ton to a few ounces, and past a lake the edges of which were frozen, and which in itself is a curiousity, as no other part of the mountain "hold:s water." Not far off is a cave, a lava-bubble, in which the natives used to live when they came up here to quarry a very hard adjacent phonolite for their axes and other tools.

We only wonder somethrng of the kind nas :not previously been issued, and only shows that we move rather slowly at the Sandwich Islands. The author of this little book is really a " live '' man so far as types are concerned, and it seems strange that he h~ not previously started on this line of publication.

Correspondent in Japan. KoBE, JAPAN, Aug. 4th, 1875. R ev. S. C. Damon :-I suppose you will be glad to hear of the recent movement at Sanda, twenty miles northwest of Kobe. On the 27th ult. a church was organiied there. While so much is being done to circulate the Bible, it is cheering to know how the Gospel wa::; first introduced at this station. Some ten or fifteen years ago a Bible or two in Chinese was left there, by whom we kaow noT. The Daim_io, being a liberal man, did not binder those who understood that language from reading it. The number who read or heard it grew large, and became much interested in it. Hence when Mr. Davis, two years ago, began to preach there, they gladly received his message. And it is said most of the church members of Kobe were originally from Sanda; and now a church of seven males and nine females has just been organized there. The house in which the church was organized has an interesting history. It is a one-story building, probably 100 feet by 50, covered with tile, and is said to have been built three hundred years ago, (fifty years before the pilgrims arrived in New England) and to have been occupied, until the recent revolution, by the Daimios, viz., governors of that district. The last one now lives in Kobe, aud his mother is a member of the church here. It was recently sold to a compa ny in Sanda , who let out part of it for a dispensa ry a nd hospita l, a nd two la rge a nd 1875. two small rooms to the Bible venders; _a nd now to the church. Miss Dudley has spent four or five months with them, and several other female members of the mission, a week at a time, reading the Scriptures to and with them, and trying to show them their meaning. The year past my son has preached to them once a fortnight, and occasionally spent several days there instructing them. And when they wished t9 be organized into a church, Mr. Davis, being pressed with labors in Kobe, urged that my son should take the lead. It is said the work there has reached females more than at any other station in Japan. It is also remarkable that r.nost of the converts there and at Kobe are · of the soldier class. They are pretty generally educated, and being now disbanded and their pension much reduced, they seem to be more ready than most to hear and embrace the Gospel. Imamura, who was with my son at the islands, is of that class, and seems now to be a true Christian. And those who understand Japanese ~ay he preaches well. His mother, who at first much opposed to his professfog Christianity, is apparently quite reconciled, and seems to be a serious inquirer; and I beHeve his wife is, also. Although I know almost nothing of Japanese, still it is sweet to hear the natives sing in familiar tunes, but in their own tongue, such hymns as " Rock of Ages," "Jesus Loves Me," "The Old, Old Story," "In the Sweet By-and-by,'' and others of that class. In prayers, both public and private, there is one very striking and to me agreeable feature. When through the ordinary petitions of the leader, they repeat in conce1·t the Lord's Prayer, which of course takes in the whole world. · As ever yours, in Christ, P. J. GULICK. A MoNUMENT TO BAXTER.-Only think of it,-Dean Stanley and other dignitaries of the Church of England uniting with Nonconformists in erectmg a monument or statue to the memory of Richard Baxter. We copy as follows frem the Pctcijic: Distinguished gentlemen antl dignitaries in Church and State graced the occasion with their presence. It is cheering to observe how much the memory of such godly men as Bunyan and Baxter is honored 'in the times in which we live. A London paper says: " The statue is in gray Sicilian marble. The height of the figure is 10 feet; and it will be placed on a granite pedestal 12 feet high. The sculptor · has made use not only of the well-known portrait at Kidc,.lerminster, but also of others in the British Museum; and he has produced what is probably a faithful, and is certainly a striking and impreRsive, semblance of that great and earnest spirit who, in spite of bodily weakness, ever living as he did upon the very brink of the grave, achieved an amount of work which few men in robust health have equaled and none surpassed. Dr. Ang us has truly suid that if Baxter 83 had spent his time in t~lling hi s ailments or even retired from the field to the hospital, it would be easy to find circumstances to excuse, if not to justify, such a course. But instead of yielding to selfish complaint or valetudinarian indolence, he manfully held on his. way a cheerful traveler to the very close, the greatest writer and pastor of his !lge-" doing the work of a city mi::;sionarf at Kidderminster, and writing more pages than many students now read."

He left England in June, and expects to get back in season for the fall course of lectures.

LAcY.-ln the Pacific of August 26th, we read the an- nouncement of the death of Mr. Lacy, whose life and labors have been so intimately inter• woven with the religious life and progress df California during the past twenty years. it was never our privilege to become personally acquainted with the deceased, but his reputation as preacher and pastor has ever been sur.h that we have regarded him as among the truly reliable and devoted ministers of the Congregational b9dy.

'; In 1825, live years after the first mist; Jorrnries landed in Hawaii, Kapiolani, a woman of high rank, while living at Kaiwaulua (where Captain Cook was murd~red) became a Christian. Grieving for her people, most of whom still feared to anger Pele, :slie announced that it was her intention to visit Kilauea (the largest known volcano), and dare the fearfo I goddess to do her worst. Her husb"nd and many others tried to dissuade her, but she was resolute, and taking with her a large retinue, she took a journey of one hundred miles, mostly on foot, over the rugir~d lavr1, till s.he arrived near the crater. There a priestess of Pelo met her, threatened her with the displeasure of the goddess if she persisted, and prophesied that • s he and her followers would perish miserably. Then, ns now, ohelo berries , grew profusely round the terminal wall of Kilauea, and there, as elsewhere, were sacred to Pele, no one daring to eat of them till ,he had first offered some of them to the divinity. It was usual on arriving at the crater to break a branch coveretl with berries, and, turning the face to the pit of fire, throw half the branch over the precipicP, saying, 'Pele, here are yom ohclos.

'l'he steaming earth scarce haruened to her tread; Or chasm broad or rugged rent opposed Her progress, while from caverned depths there came .Fierce sultry blasts that withered all the strength.

'l'he brauch long dedicate 'l'o Pele in her baud she held, nnd broke, And gave not first the custom:uy gift, But ate the sacred berries, and defied The immemorial boud,-while yonder sea Lashed the dread throne of Pele , in their sight.
