| 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.

Coblentz, proud of the embrace of the lovely Moselle and Rhine, and guarded by the frowning Ehrenbreitstein, " The Gibraltar of the Rhine," stays us in our course for a little time. The sentimental couples before alluded to find food for thought as we pass "Rolandseck," whence went forth the valiant knight Roland to win the Holy City from the infidels, happy in the love of the lovely Hildegunde, his betrothed. Rumor false, as is often the case, brings word that the brave Roland is no more and the disconsolate Hildegunde becomes the "bride of heaven," and buries herself and her woe in the· cloister near at hand. But fortunately or unfortunately tht Rhenish chivalry had not lost Roland who. returns to claim his love. But alas ! this is impossible. -So he builds the astle on the height, of wliich now but one arch remains and upon which the " sentimentalists" are now gazing, and from this vantage ground he catches glimpses of his betrothed, passing to and fro to her devotions. B• t at last even this is denied him and death claims the sad nun, Hildegunde. "From that moment Roland never spoke again; one morning his sole attendant found him rigid and lifeless, his glassy eye still turned towards the convent chapel " ! ! ! ! BONN, The birth-place of Beethoven and one of the most celebrated university towns in Germany, skirts the river, where" The castled crags of Drachenfels Frown o'er the wide and winding Rhine, Whose breast of waters broadly swells Between the banks which bear the vine; And hills all rich with blossom 'd trees, And fields which promise corn and wine, And scattered cities crowning these, Whose far-white walls along them shine, Have strew'd a scene which I could see With double joy wert thou with me." The University buildings cover an immensP. space and were formerly an old Palace. The trees which front them and the beautiful grassy open space were formerly in the palace grounds. One of the most glorious avenues I ever saw of chesnuts, stretches off from the lower town towards the chemical laboratories, the observatory, etc. Here the son of the crown-prince of Ger:many, the grandson of Queen Victoria, has recently commenced his university studie&. .There are some eight hundred students in attendance with about a hundred professors, Professor Christlieb of whom I have spoken to you before, I think, being this year the Dean of the Faculty. Bonn has become of late years a very favorite place. of residence for English people, and besides the Church of England there is also a congregation of Scotch Presbyterians. Bishop Reinkens of the old Catholic party has here his home. and here some of the meetings which have marked the progress ·of that movement, have taken plaee. The town lies on the Rhine which widens to a large river, and off in the distance loom the picturesque seven mountains But Bonn is rendered especially interesting from the fact that it was the birth-place of Beethoven, J J N U AR f , I 8 7 8• probably the greatest musician of any age, a name which any city should be proud to number on the roll of its citizens. It is a safe thing to know that you are in just the right place before you indulge in your raptures at having discovered scenes which cradled the infancy of your hero. Certainly it was not from lack of effort on my part if I failed to find where the gifted musician, who was to bring with him heavenly music and melody into a discordant world, first opened his baby eyes towards the latter part of the last century. His father was a tenorsinger to the Elector and at the time of his great son's birth is said to have been living on one of the streets which now lies hidden in the crowded heart of the city; it may have -been my own stupidity but I was forced to leave without finding the house. Certainly some of the people seem to have very shadowy ideas as to the shrine I was seeking, and I thought one fellow at least spoke the truth when he 3aid very pleasantly, "He wasn't there at the time,'l which may account for his ignorance. But I did have the satisfaction of nibbling a bit of sandwich in a restaurant in the Rheingasse, in a house where certainly the Beethoven family once lived. To what" base uses" a great man's home may be put in time is certainly attested by this dingy little place, where some men were wrangling in anything but a musical way over their cards. In the ''place" near the fine old cathedral, girdled by trees, which have now strewn the ground with their leaves, stands the bronze statue of .Beethoven which was inaugurated there not so very many years ago in the presence of the Queen of England. There are few who have not grown familiar with this powerful face in busts and engravings. It is not a winning face; thel'e is a solitariness and sternness in it as of a man who must have lived apart from other men, "hearing in his soul" a music which even he could not interpret to bis fellow-beings. Beethoven Jeft this city of Bonn when he was yet a young man, and he should rather hereafter be viewed, not in his relationship to any one town but rather ~s a sovereign in that world of ha1·mony which knows no terrestrial boundaries. He struggled with a terrible might against the fatal doom of dea.fness, which while he was in the very prime of life, slowly and steadily and relentlessly shut him out from the world. It would seem almost as if it must needs be so, as if in no other way could he have fulfilled his mission. Shut out from the rush and turmoil of life, from its countless discordant cries he had now leisure to listen to those celestial melodies which floated unhindered, not to his human ear, but to his waiting soul. He lived not only figuratively but really much apart from men. In his iong lonely walks, which no extremes of weather ever interrupted he composed·witliin ,the music, which on his return he committed to writing. In the library at Bonn I saw just a fragment of a score-of his, a mere fragment, but interesting as coming from his hand. It does us good now and thQn in our enjoyment of the fruits of other men's labors to put aside the splendid lustre which hangs about their names and look into the real life which throbs and suffers and groans oftentimes under the purple and ermine of outward triumph. Tim songs which we sing are sometimes the groan of a broken h-eart, and from the loneJy "Gethsemanes" of a few lives issues that which glorifies and enriches the world. We are near our joumey's end.

F. w. DAMON. Michigan University. It always affords us great delight to hear from our youth, who have left the islands for higher institutions of learning in America and Europe. By a late mail we received an interesting letter from young Arthur P. Peterson, who is now studying Law at Ann Arbor, Michigan. We ccfpy as follows, un. der date of November 27th : "Ann Arbor is a .city of 10,000 ihhabi• tants, and is supported mostly by the stu• dents of the University of Michigan. The University is not as well known as it should be, as they do not advertise as other colleges do. In size it probably is the 5econd or third in America. It contains this year between twelve and thirteen hundred students, not rncJuding the preparatory department. In rank they claim that it is next to Yale, or about on an equal with Amhers.t. The Law Department, which I am attending, is the largest, and one of the best in the coun• try. It has nearly four hundred would-be lawyers in it. · " There is no church connected with the University; but nearly every Sunday afternoon, some one of the professors hold service. Last Sunday Dr. Cocker gave us a very interesting sermon from the 13th verse of the 12th chapter of Ecclesiastes, in which he reviewed the whole book step by step, showing under what circumstances the book was written, and the mistaken idea which many had of this book." We would merely add that Dr. Cocker, whom reference is made, is a professor in the University. He is an Englishman, and many years ago was a Methodist preacher in the Australian Colonies, who will be remembered by many in the South Seas. He has become somewhat eminent as an author and lecturer. He is the author of a volume entitled " Christianity and Greek Philosophy," published by the Harpers of New York. It was our privilege in 1869 to hear a mast interesting address from him in Dela ware, Ohio, on "The Brotherhood of the Human Race.H to ON THURSDAY evening last, a happy meeting took place at the Bethel Church, preluded by hymnody. and in the building adjoining, the little folks, and indeed their elders as well. subsequently enjoyed. the pleasant time-honored spectacle of a heavily loaded" Christmas Tree,' ' the distribution of whose multifarious fruits afforded au evidPatly genuine gratification to the recipients.

Mr. Pogue was re-turning with his daughter, and had reached that point on the overland railroad, when sickness compelled him to leave the cars and seek repose, and there after a short illness he died, but particulars are not given.

He had previously been on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers on business for his uncle and was charmed with the scenery and soon made a choice of Cincinnati as his place of study. He was there in the days of Lane Seminary and studied two years in the preparatory department. He then went to Marietta College for four years and returned for bis theological course three years. During seven, perhaps more, of these -Soon after his arrival at these islands he married Miss Maria Whitney, daughter of the ]ate Rev. Samuel Whitney of Waimea, Kauai.
