| 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~ClFIC , -. o,,_,- _, Its Sh01·es, Us Islands, ancl the -vast reg-ions beyond, will become the chief theatre Ip of events, in 4,,";:' \\~ o/'tl 'v: £1. .DJs GRRJ\,1'0-°''te, \i'J'-' S 1.-.i.,.,~-.' .li:1v,1.1w, • $ u. s. se /4 .,., - . - : - ~ ~ - : .~- :_ . _ . , , , < ~ ·---· ·========- ====---======- =!~ ~!~i_e_s, f_o·_L_2~, lfa. • 5. f__ ========B:.=O=NO:.::_L.:.::.U:.=L==U==,==M~A=-=Y==-=l,====l8=-=7:. .7== .:. : . ===================== {@ ==l=b==-= j == et== ie== s'==~== ol== . :.::.:: 24 ::.:.::· · RAMBLES IN THE OLD WOULD-No, 4, CONTE1'1TS reported that he speaks thirteen different Fot· May 1. 187 '1. languages, and forwarded to some old mission .

SOCIAl, LIFE OF GENEVA. I· have not much to chronicle that is especially varied just now. Geneva is not an exciting city, but the social life here js exceedingly pleasant. Little evening parties with music, conversation and 11gh t refresh• ments, are the .universal custom. Perhaps one of the most agreeable of all that l have attended was last Thursday evening. Jt was at a young ladies' seminary, whkh is poetiraJly situated in a little grove called the '' Wood of the Fairies." The house is a fine old building with massive wood-work and richly ornamented, having been built by a famous artist. The principal of the school - a Genevese l?-dy-was surrounded with her young ladie:s, French, German and Enalish. It would seem almost as .if the muntltof th e old artiS t had fallen an those who came after him, for 1 met ,this same evei1ing two lady artists, one of whom. has a European reputation as a painter in water-colors of flowers, especially of flotvers from the high Alps. I have not words to tell you how beautiful they are, and they ,;ere arran~·ed with such perfect naturaln~ss, just as she found them h1gh up in .Alpirw vall~ys.

American girl, one of th e aspiring ones who deter• mined to make something of her~elf. She has now lived many years on the continent, has read and traveled mtich, has rich and original thoughts, and is altogether most agl'eeable and interesting. I There is something very pleasant in the resemblance between our A.merico-Genevese sociables and those ov.er in the church par. lo~s _at Fort St~eet. Though ours are very rmmature atfaHs as compared with the lat-ter. The young people have their games,. and there is music and refreshments. At our last, I met a most interesting Russian lady. I was especially interested in her most Christian views, though still in the THE l?UJEND, ltf!Y, Greek church; she has most broad and charitable i~eas, and longs for a union between all Christian believers. ::She has evidently read and thought much. I have attended recently two very interesting lectures, one on Byron and the other .on Walter Scott. Last Thursday evening J spent ve;ry pleasantly at Madame Merle ,O'Aubign.e's. She is a most cordial and warm-hearted woman, the s0.cond wife of the historial;l. She is one of those persons whom yot,1 love at first sight. Her pleasant face lool{s out ·at you most brightly from l~nQ.er her soft widow's cap. She has four chil<jlren, two sons and two daughters. The QlQ home of D'AubignE> is down on the ~hare Qf the lake, and there the . familv still live·. The great arm chair was drawn· up by the fire, and you felt as if he might Roon come in to take it. He died about five years ago, his health continuing wonderfully good up to the last. He retired one Sunday evening, which he had spent most pleasantly with his family, an,l when in the morning he seemed so late in rising, they went to e~ll him, he was beyond the reach of earthly voices, for his eyes had opened on a better prospect, in truth hE> had "waked in heaven." Madame told me nll about it in her eG1rnest way, of the dreadful shock to her ~ijd yet of the joy she found in this peaceful t;ranslation. ThE'n she gave me many facts ~bout his life and writings, and many interesting things, but these at another time. She assured me that I was always welcome .,i.~4 that the library was always at my ser~ice. We had tea and calm passed around, conversation on various topics, and closed our P,leasant evening together by singing •" ~ock of Ages." By the way, Pasteur J3ard, Madame D'Aubigne and others here are very much interested in a little missionary museum, in connection with the "Salle .<le la Reformation." Could not a few missionary articles-an idol perhaps, some tapa and a few cµriosities of differec1t kinds, be collected and sent by one of Hackfeld's ves>5els to Bremen? I just throw out this idea, thinking that it would be interesting- to have a connecting lmk between Honolulu and this old city of Calvin. I know nothing would.please the good people better.

History shows us that some of the greatest I).ames which the world loves to honor, are connected with countries which, geographically, are of but limited extent. lt would seem almost as if there was some grand compensation in this; that while to one nation was given armies ·and wealth and great commerce and wide extent of territory, another finds its share to be a few, royally gifted sons whose thoughts are its choice treasures. If this is true, Switzerland should have a foremost place in the latter class. Somewhere· Voltaire says in his brilliant satirical way, " when I shake my wig its powder dusts all the Republic." Yet this little commonwealth, nestling at the base of its mighty mountains, has furnished thought for Europe and the world. Geneva and 1877. vicinity have been the centre where we find its -fullest manifestation and a score or more of brilliaflt names meet you in looking into . the literary, scientific and religiom, history of the place. Perhaps no name is more prominent than that of that most eccentric, incomprehensible, magnificently gifted man, Jean Jacques Rousseau, who loved to style himself '' a citizen of Geneva." Amoncr the very first objects upon which the eye of the stranger and traveler rests on arriving in the city, is his statue upon a small island in the Rhone. He is represented in a sitting posture, with one hand lifted, holding a pen with which he will soon note the thought which is now oc·cupying his attention. The figure is finely draped and the conception qf the whole statue is admirable. The fine head and forehead are distinctly emphasized in the bronze, and the lines which give to this thoughtful face so much expression, the look of genius touched with a sacl, wistful longing, tell that the artist was not unworthy of his subject. The statue is the work of Pradier who has achieved great success in his art and was also & citizen of Geneva. The Isle Rousseau marks the point where the Rhone issues from ~ake Leman. A few trees group themselves about the statue which stands in the qmtre of the little island. Here the good people of Geneva love to come in summer evenings, and thousands of visitors make this one of the places to be noted in their tour. By day it is a constant pleasure to watch the beautiful white swans that come and go about it, in the gloriously blue waters of the Rhone. And at night when th~housand lamps of Geneva gleam forth, yoq might almost fancy the little isle turned a gondola from which you view the fairy spectacle of Veru~tian life. · There are many perhaps who woulq think it a .blessing to mankind if the name of Rousseau was forgotten rather thaq per,petuated by statues and praise. Yet as time goes on, more and more marked is seen to be that genius which wrought such a reyolution in Europe. But in admiring its brilliant .productions, one is shocked by the moral stain which rests upon them. A life of the strangest experience~, of wild, extravaaant theories, dwarfed anq crippled by a wret;hed childhood, yet bursting forth ioto the most superb poetry of expression, and capµ.ble of noblest aspirations. In him you se~m to find a vision as of light and darkqess, of tenderest and bitterest sentiments, of worship and blasphemy, an endless contradiction! And whence came this estrange being whom, Sainte-Beure caUs "the swallow, which announced a ne'vY spring for . the French language." He was born in Geneva in 1712 in one of the streets of the ol<l town, which everybody visits now. Hi~ father was a watch-maker of no enviable reputation, and all Rousseau's early life is a sad record of neglect and abuses. He fled from Qepeva, and in Turin was led to embrace Catholicism. After this we find him following all manner of professions, and at last he comes to Paris where he gains friends and assistance. A prize being offer~d by the academy of Dijou for the best essq.y on a given theme, Rousseau was the successful competitor. This was the beginqing of his li~erary career. His magnificent style electrified Europe. He inaugurated new and beneficial reforms, while at the same time he wrought incalculable harm. His musical langqage can not veil often th~ 1mpu~ity of _th~ underlying thought. The he1gh~s wlucq _he woul~ attain in theo:ry, are lost sight of m practice. There is somet~ing most pitiful in the sight of this spleQ, d1dly gifted soul, living in the false an.cl u?real_ w?rld of its own creation. A very km~ m mtellect, and yet the chained slave of 1_gnob_le fPars, passing the years terrified by 1magmary dangers, at war with a hostile world, finding enemies in friends, joyless, sombre, dying with the real beauty and sweetness of life, unfelt and uqtasted. Ge~ neva is proud of his genius, tQough Rousseaq's principles found cold welcome in this city ~f th_e. Reforma_tio?. ~hat of purity :.rnd s11nphc_1ty there 1s rn his writings can be t:aced ~o. the influence of his native city and Its rehg10us atmosphere. And in the grand mountains an,d beautiful lake which charmed his early years he found his chief inspiration, as the Apostle of the beautiful in the outer world, c1, title which he most justly deserves. Sa that it seems appropriate that through the years his mute statue cshould sit facing the blue lake and snowy Alps which he loved so well. THE HOT EL DE VILLE. . Th is is. a very interesting place to visit, situated rn the heart of the old town and reached by a perfect labyrinth of streets. If the Cathedral may be regarded as sharing in ail the religious history of Geneva, the Ho~e_l de Ville is e9.ually represented in its political annal~. It 1s built in the Florentine s!yle, around a hollow square, having a very s_mgular passi:i.ge way, extending from tne lower court to the stories above. Th is is so constructed that soldiers on horseback anq carriage~ coul~ ascend without difficulty. How many time_s· m the stormy history of the town has 1t been crowded with excited citiiens, hurrying to consult and deliberate on their rights ! Here the Council of State now holds its session. Many documents of the greatest importance are carefully preserved here, and papers which testify to the grand struggle of a brave people for the precious b?on of ~ivil libe~ty. Perhaps ' not the least rnterestmg room m this building is the one where the Alabama Court of Arbitration held its conferences. It is handsomely fu:nished, and remains just as it was at the time of tha~ i:nost histo~ic gathering. It brought very v1v1dly to mmd the pictures which I remember to have.> seen of the court in session. On a fair, white marble tablet is a statement in reference to the result of the arbitra~ion, ~hich is certainly one of the most mterestmg events in modern times proving to the world that Christian nation~ t:ould settle their difficulties without recourse to ai:ms . ~ack of the moclerator's chair is an Qil pamtJng of Lib~rty, and at the other end of the room, pfotures of the Commissioners. Coming out of the interesting ~hadows pf the old Hotel de Ville, you come mto sce_n~s not less historic. These Europei:t-_n c1t1es are crowded with memories and l~cidents. Of course the wiser one is the ncher are his discoveries. But f,.m m' the very casual observer can not fail to find '1' II E }' R I E N D abundant food for thought. Just in this smooth stone-paved square which faces us, over which the Hotel de Ville and gray old Arsenal seem to keep solemn watch and Ward, is the place where the "Emile and Contract Social" of Rousseau were publicly burned, a little more than. a century ago. Here too, we are told, that Servetus, condemned by Calvin;was burned alive, that one great stain on the reformer's illustrious record. In that narrow street with its high and crowded houses, Rousse;-i u was born,just beyond, at No. 11, Rue des Chanonies, Calvin lived, and here too, it is said, he died. Here he must have brooded over those grand thoughts which are at the very foundation of his mighty theology. It is not difficult to picture him coming and going through this shadowy street, this earnest Reformer, with his pale, intense, sharply chiseled face, which seems more like the incarnation of some tremendous thought or idea, than that of a human being; here must have gathered the men to whom he intrusted the execution of his r.ommissions; from this centre radiated that influence which held for many years the city of Geneva under an imperial sway, and which the religious world will recognize through all time. At one of the museums of the city 1s a picture by Horming, representing the last adieu of Farel to Calvin. It is finely painted and intensely interesting. They had been" yoke-fellows," had sePn together the coming of the Gospel with power in an age of darkness, and now were for a time to be parted. Fare 1, with his grand head, unbent by storms of persecution, stands by the side of his dying friend. Calvin's face, though wasted and of a ghastly paleness, is full of strange power, and in these last moments his eyes seem to look past the present into the future with a vision unhindered by the mists of earth. About these two central figures are grouped many friend::,; and brothers. As vou stand in the quiet Rue de Chanonies, with all these faces fresh in mind, you seem almost to feel their actual presence. May it not be that these men who gave the ripeness of their thought and the depth of their religious experiences to the up-building of this city still overshadow it with their spiritual presence? AMONG THE WOOD CARVINGS, The Greeks were not very far out of the way, I think, in peopling their woods and groves with fair and beautiful forms or in believing that hiddP.n away in the heart of the gnarled aud unshapely tree-trunks dwelt the souls of dryads and nymphs. For lately the usually mute and solemn tree, from trun to branch and tiniest twig, have been full of voices, and l have learned secrets of beauty which I had not dreamed of before. I could take you in a few moments to a store on the grand quai, facing the lake, full of such rare and graceful forms carved in wood, that seeing them you would ever after cherish and reverence this commonest of materials for the possibilities of beauty which lie enshrined in it. One almost always associates Swiss carvings with picturesque chalets far up in lovely Alpine valleys and wjth peasants in striking costumes, and it is very piea::mnt to fancy that the little souvenirs you take home with you are the fruits of long winter eve nings spent by the busy workers MAY, 35 1877-. before the blazing fire, listening to the thrill- , and sorrow, sweet at1·d touching poems? ing tales of the grand old days of Switzer- There is certainly something wonderful in land.

'I'i-m PRil\JIE MmrsTEK.-An English Je'w has contributed a striking essay to one of the magazines on "Modern Judaism " asserting, in very strong terms, that it was utterly impossible to convert a respectable Jew to Christianity. 'I'o this it has been replied that the present Prime Minister of England is a convert from Judaism. But the English Jew does not accept this as disproving his assertion. "The Premier's father,'' he writes, '' had a quartel with the Portuguese synagogue about money matters , and thereupon Isaac D'Isrneli left the synagogue, and his son somehow became a church-goer; but it is a fad that Benjamin D'lsraeli, has nevet· been baptized as a Christian." This 1s a serious fact for the High Anglicans to ponder-almost as much so, indeed, as the :scandal with respect to t.he Presbyterian hapt_i. m of the present Archbishop of Canterbury, about wh1ch there was so keen a controversy in th{: Ritualistic journals a few months ago.-Eng• lish pape't . tSEAMEN~s I-l.OME !

It is our most painful duty to chronicle the death of His Hoyal Highness Prince W1LLIA1"[ PITT LELEIOHOKU, whose decease dccurred on Tuesday morning, April 10th. The remain& of this noble Prince were deposited in the .Rdyal Mausoleum on the 25th, beside those of his father and mother and those of the Kamehamehas. We clip the following from the P. G. Adver·tiser of April 21st and 28th : His Royal Highness was the tion or the high Chiefs C. Kapaakea and A. Keohokalole (tlie parents of the present Royal Family) and watl born on the 10th of January, 1855, on the day of the funeral of King Kamehameha Ill, from which circumstance he derived one ot hitl narneis -Kalahoolewa. ln infancy be was adopted, after the custom of the Chiefs, by Her Highness Ruth Keelikolani, siriter of King Kamehameha V., who has ever regarded him as her own child, and whose grief for his loss is poignant. He was educated at St. Alban's College on this island, where he proved himself an apt scholar. After leaving school he for some time fulfilled with zeal and ability the duties of a clerk in the department ot Foreign Affairs, and on the accession of His Majesty was appointed and proclaimed Heit' Apparent to the Throne. On the King·s departure for the United States, in November, 1874, he was appointed Prince Regent, the duties of which responisiblo office be d1ischarged with distinguished ability until His Majesty's return on the 15th of February, 1875. The late Prince had received the decorations of _Knii;ht Grand Cross of the_ Royal Orders of' Kamehameha and Kalakaua; he was a meml.)er of the Privy Council of t,tate and or the House of Nobles, Captain of the Leleiohoku Cavalry; and Foreman of Engine Company No 4 ot the Ilonolulu Fire Department. In the Order of Free Masons he was a prominent and advanced member, and held offices of importance. But it was among those who had occasion to know him intimately that the good qualities of the late Prince were unden;tood and valued, for he was of a quiet, retiring and unaissuming disposition• that courted not observation. With fine natural talents, he was an excellent English scholar, of studious oobitri, well read in current literature as well as in tho science of government, methodical and careful in business matters, and in social life a polished gentleman. Well may it be said that in his early death the Hawaiian nation has suffered a grievous loss. But in the language of Byron, "Whom the gods love die young" was said of yore, And many deaths do they escape by this: Tlie death of friends, and that which slays even more, The death of friendship, love, youth, all that is, l!Jxcept mt:re breath; and since the silent shore A waits at last even those who lougest miss The old archer's shafts, perhaps the early grave Which men weep over may be mean~ to save." The remains of the late Prince lay in state •at the Palace during Tuesday forenoon and the solemn pageantry of death was viewed by a large concourise of residents or all ages and classes. t 8 7 7. In the evening, the members of Hawaiian Lodgel · who have passed ai·ay. The military portion of No. 21, F. and A.

The twenty-fifth day of April of the current year 1877, shall hence-forward mark a mournful epoch in the history of the Hawaiian Royalty of Christian profeission. Upon it the remains dt the youthful hope of the Hawaiian people were consigned to a premature 1·esting-place in the' tomb. 'l'he promise of a bright and joyous itn.:., mortality for the spirit wh ich had just fled from the earthly ordeal to a well earned crown of etemal glory, even in the brief space of hfe allowed by the inscrutable providence of the All-wise Creator-could alone shed a soft and hallowed beam of consolation upon the regal mourners who followed the mortal remains of the rrincely youth to the solemn abode of death. 0 1'he aspect. of the funeral cortege, as it slowly moved along from the royal dwelling through the crowded thoroughfares of the Hawaiian capital in the midst of a nation of mourners, to the mausoleum of the Christian Kings of Hawaii nei in Nuuanu valley, was calculated to inspire even a stranger to the race and the country with feelrngs of the most indescribable sadness. The military parade, the strains of martial music and beat of muffled drum, the minute guns and Lhe tolling bellti, however imposing and riuited to tlie solemn occaision, might have already been familiar to him in other lands in tlimilar circumstances. But the immediate surroundings of the funeral car, with its tall waving Kahilis-ancient emblems of Hawaiian chieftainship-its blazing torches of the kukui, an old fouda.l privilege of the reigning family, and above all the heartrending wail of Hawaiian women-tSo like t!Je wild keean of the female mourners over the dead chieftains of the old Celtic race-constituted in its tout ensemble a lugubriouri spectacle of death, peculiarly national and only to be witnessed amongst the people lJt" Hawaiian race. lmprov, d Order of Red i)Jen.

In the Palace, previous to setting out, and at 'l he day was an exceptionally fine one, even for the Royal Mausoleum at tbe end of the march this climate, for the trade winds blew moderately, and an occaisional passing cloud tempered the rays of the tropic sun. 'Ihc streets had been sprinkled during tlie morning, so that there was no discomfort from the dust which would otherwise have been caused by the movewent of the procesaion. Contrary to the general expectation as well as to the ordmary rule on such occasions, the ~irrangementri were iso perlected by those who had the details in charge that the procession began to move as per programme, " punctually at 11 o'clock, A. M, '~ His Excellency Governor Moehonua was Marshal of the day, with Majo~s George W. Macfarlane and James H. Boyd as assistants. 'rhe grace, dignity and selfpossession of the Governor were noted, for he sat his horse and wore his uniform iike one " to the manner born," in this respect forcibly bringing to mind the naturally noble bearing on similar occasions of once prominent Ilawaiian Chiefs the service of the Church of England WM read and Psalms chanted by Bishop Willis and his clergy and a well-trained band of native Ha.waiian choristers. After the clergy had retired, the Free Masons, led by the W.
