| 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. --· --- - --- - - - - - - - - -- - - --- --- ---· --- · --- --- CONTE1'TS For N0Yembe1• 1, 1876.

The above paragraph we copy from China ctnd tlie [Jnited States, by tl}e Rev. W. Speer, D. D , and originally published in 1872. Every year's development only verifies more and more the truthfulness of the statement. So impressed has Dr. Speer be~ome with the importance of the Chinese question and its ultimate results upon America and the world, that he has resigned his position as Secretary of the Pres byterian Board of .Education in Philadelphia, and started for China. It will be remembered that Dr. Speer was formerly a missionary in Chma and isubsequeutly m California. but in consequence of ill health was compelled to resign his duties. With re~tored health he has resigned his office, and now goes again to China to obtain information relative to the Chinese question, and returning to the U n_ited States will endeavor to enlighten the public mind. Dr. Speer is engaged in a good work. His visit to Honolulu will be remembered-about twenty years ago. He is a good Chinese scholar. During our recent visit to Philadelphia we had frequent interviews with him, in which he fully laid before us his plans. Most heartily we ran pray for his success. We have received a letter from him, dated on board of the steamship Alaska, bound from San Francisco to Yokohama, dated August 24th, we copy as follows: Prompt Punishment in the" South Seas." 1793-1876. Some months ago news came that a native of A paiang, one of the Gilbert Islands, had murdered an Englishman. We believe the American Missionaries reported the case to the English Government. The man-of-war Renard was ordered to visit the island and see that the guilty murderer was ptrnished. "Ro here we are half wav th e • to Yokohama. !

When the glow of youth has departed, when the warmth of middleage is gone, and the buds and blossoms of spring are changing to the sere a_nd yellow leaf, then the mind of the good man, still ripe and vigorous, relaxes its labors, and the memories of a well-spent life gush forth from their secret fountains, enriching, rejoicing and fertilizing; then the trustful resignation of the Christian sheds around a 8Weet and holy warmth, and the soul, assuming a heavenly lustre, is no longer restricted to the narrow confines of businE>ss, but soars far beyond the wrnter of age, and dwells peacefully and happily upon that bright spring and summer which await him within the gates of Paradise, evermore.

HEALTH AMONG THE WRECKED SEAMEN.- It is quite remarkable that not a single sick sailor was landed from among the large number of wrecked men. The only instance of death which we have beard of in the Arctic during the season, is that of Mr. Samuel Knipes, third officer of the bark .Desmond, Capt. Green.

We notice that N.d. Huxley is very cautious and chary• about introducing the term God or ac!lrnowledging Divine Providence, although he has. much to say about "nature," " the order of nature," and even " nature of Nature." The only instance that the term God is found in his lectures or addresRes, is in a quotation from Milton. The writer of the first chapter of Genesis repeats the name of God twenty-nine times. Modern scientists of the advanced school dispense with even the name of God. Would that we might credit Mr. Huxley with a disuse of the name of God on the same principle that the Jews of old refrained. viz., reverence. Unless Darwin, Huxley, and others have somP-thing more satisfactory upon which to rest our faith than is to be9 found in these lectures, we shall still go on singing the good old hymn, WE HAVE received two circulars from Sao Francisco, . relating to the treaty and planters. One is signed " Pacific Slo(le" and the other "Amicus Hawaii." It will hardly be expected of the FRIEND a discussion of the topics introduced into these circulars. There is a single point noticed in the circular by ·'Amicus Hawaii,'' that interested and amused us: " The experience and practice of the commercial world, from the commencement the historic period, shows the necessity and importance of ' middle men.' The earliest trade recorded in history, and involving only the sum of 'four hundred shekels of silver, current money with the merchant,' was made through a third party or negotiator.

Owen, from the Arctic Ocean, · we are in receipt of the unwelcome news that another crushing blow has been given to the North Pacific whaling business. similar to that which it sustained in 1871, when 33 ships were lost. This time, thirteen, comprising the bulk of the fleet, have been abandoned in the ice. The Three Brothers has brought to this po1·t some 190 of the shipwrecked officers and crews; the bark Florence gone to San Francisco. has the remainder, with the exception of about sixty men, who persisted in remaining by the wrecks, and of whom we expect to hear that but few have survived the rigors of the Arctic winter.
