THE FHI END.
JANUARY 1. 1801.
New Volume and New Year.

With the New Year commences the
XVIIIth volume of the Friend. Having
been called upon for so many successive
years, to address our readers with a New
Year's Salutatory, we are somewhat at a loss
for new and fresh thoughts upon the hackneyed themes. We had thought of jotting
down a few stray thoughts upon (he close of
the year, Christmas, and kindred topics, but
our neighbors of the Advertiser and Polynesian have anticipated us upon those topics,
and treated them in a style which leaves us
nothing to add. Now wra shall we write
upon? Ah, "there's the rub," as Shakspeare would have said, No !—he would not
have been at a loss for something to say, for
he could find " sermons in stones," and unquestionably he would have found something
to say on any occasion. But the old dramatist never edited a newspaper, if he did
write plays. He could write when in good
humor, and who cannot? But he never
was compelled to a periodical scribbling.
Without puzzling our brain for something to
write upon at the opening of a New Year
ana commencement of a Now Volume, we can
think of no language more beautiful and appropriate, than that of Prof. Longfellow, in
his Hyperion :
" Look not mournfully upon the past; it
comes not back again : wisely improve the
present; it is thine. Go forth to meet the
shadowy future, without fear, and with manly
heart."

HONOLULU, JANUARY 1, 1861.
Just as our paper was going to press,
through the kindness of Capt. Bush, of bark
Zoe, we have been favored with letters
and the Samoan Reporter, from the Navigators' Islands. Our correspondents, J. C.
Williams, Esq., British Consul, and the
Rev. Mr. Murray, refer with delight to the
incre.-ised facilities for communicating with
the Sandwich Islands, afforded by the Guano
vessels. Mr. Williams refers to the effort
which is now being made to support an English School of 60 scholars, at Upolu, and
Mr. Murray, to the progress of the Missionary work among the natives. He remarks as
follows : " This group is fast rising towards
a position of self support, unless some
very untoward event or events come upon us.
Our contributions to the London Missionary
Society this year amount to the sum of
£930 145., or $4,653, and for the support of
our native pastors, we, in some of our disdistricts, have sums nearly as large." The
present position of the native and foreign
population at Upolu, must correspond very
nearly to the state of things in Honolulu
twenty-five years ago.

The Puritans and their Descendants:
A. THANKSGIVING SERMON,
Preached at Fort Street Church, in Honolulu,
November 29,1800,
BY REV. S. C. DAMON.
[PUBLISH ill BY BEQUEST.]

Psalm XCV: 2.—" Let uscome before Ilia presence,
with thanksgiving."

A Concert of Thanksgiving, embracing
the friends of peace, liberty, piety and missions throughout the world, was originally
suggested, I believe, by the Honorable William B. Heed, late U. S. Minister to China.
In an address which he delivered in the city
of Philadelphia, on his return to America,
he declared in the most frank and manly
style, that in his opinion, Christianity, as
developed in the modern missionary enterprise, was the great agent of civilization.
This is his language:—
I went to the east with no enthusiasm as to
the missionary enterprise: I came back with a
fixed conviction that in its true and harmonizing
power, and in its increasing influence in commercial adventure, it is, under Providence, the
greatagent of civilization ; and I feel it my duty
to add, that everywhere, in Asia and Africa,
among the Caffres, in Natal, on the continent of
India, among the forests of Ceylon, and over the
vast expanse of China, the testimony to the

idea of a day of general Thanksgiving, is
one of gradual growth. It has been gaining
strengtn and spreading ever since the Pilgrims landed upon the shores of New England, two hundred and forty years ago. The
Annual American Thanksgiving is unquestionably of New England origin. It is coeval with the colony of Plymouth. The
first Puritan Thanksgiving was observed in
the autumn of 1621. The venerable Edward Winslow, in his work, entitled, "Good
News from New England," employs this
language:

" Wo thought it would be groat ingratitude,
if wo should content ourselves with private
thanksgiving, for tliat which by private prayer
could not be obtained. And therefore another
solemn day was Bet apart and appointed for that
end, wherein wo returned glory, honor and
thanksgiving to our good God, which dealt so
graciously with us."
Hence, originated the New England

It soon became most deeply
interwoven among the social and religious
institutions of the New England Puritans.
The observance of this day, for over two
hundred years, was confined to the New
England States ; but as the sons of the Puritans pushed their way westward, planting
their homes in New York, Ohio, Illinois,
nnd westward to the shores of the Pacific,
they have so far influenced public sentiment,
that even the State of California observes
the last Thursday of November as a day of
thanksgiving. A similar day has frequently
been appointed by His Majesty, the King of
these Islands. The appointment of no day
of public religious festival has been more
gratifying to the American portion of his
subjects. Frequently have I been called upon to conduct the exercises of this public
religious festival, and never have there besn
wanting ampio and urgent motives for
thanksgiving. How inspiring and gratifying
the thought, that a Puritan Thanksgiving
has become so maturely developed, that it
now embraces within its broad grasp the
Thanksgiving.

friends of peace, liberty, truth and missions
throughout the world. This is a noble, elevating, and impressive idea. We assemble,
to day, not to celebrate an Hawaiian
Thanksgiving, not a New England Thanksgiving, not an American Thanksgiving; but
a Christian Missionary Thanksgiving, embracing the friends of truth, peace, liberty,
missions and the gospel throughout the world.
This idea when carefully reflected upon, is
evidently calculated to enoble, expand, enlarge, and liberalize the minds of all who can
be persuaded to entertain the world-wide
conception. The idea is akin to that uttered
by the Apostle Paul, on Mars Hill, at Athens,
God hath made of one blood all nations of
men, "for tp dwell on all the face of the earth."
Why should not all men and all nations
unite in a concert of Thanksgiving, which
shall be universal ? The time, we believe,
will yet come, when this will be done. Let
us cherish, foster, and disseminate the idea,
until " from the rising to the selling sun,"
there shall be sung one universal" song of
praise and thanksgiving. It was in reference to that day that Cowper wrote:

-,

"One song employ* ail nations and all err,
Worthy the Lamb, for be was slain for ns.
The dwellersId the Talesand tin the rooks.
Shoutto eiirh other, and the mountain tops
fromdistant mountains eaten the flying joy.
Till nation afternation, taught the strain.
Karth rolls the r aptorout hotannaround."

'

English navigators reckon their longitude
from the meridian of Greenwich; the French
from Paris; the Americans from Washington ; and it seems, altogether natural, fit and
becoming that we should calculate ours today from the meridian of the rock of Plymouth. At what other meridian will it be
more natural for us to reckon ? There let
this concert of Thanksgiving commence.
Let the sons of the Pilgrims dwelling near
that rock, " give the pitch," or " raise the
tune" in good old New England style, and
then let the song of praise and the anthem
of Thanksgiving rise, swell, extend, and be
prolonged, until the sons of the Pilgrims,
and all others, willing to unite with them,
throughout the world, shall join in the full
chorus.
In the name of all the friends nnd lovers of
order, truth, the gospel ami missions in these
Islands, 1 would most cordially accept the
invitation to join in this concert of Thanksgiving. In thus accepting of the invitation,
and consenting to address those who might
assemble on this occasion, my theme of discourse is naturally marked out, and my topic
defined. Have we, as descendants of the
Puritans of Old and New England, or sympathizing with them in their opinions, occasion to appear TO-DAY with Thanksgiving in
the House of God ? Can I now address you,
my hearers, in the language of the Psalmist,
" Let us come before his presence with
thanksgiving?"
This is my theme of discourse: I shall
endeavor to show, that the descendants
of the Puritans and all sympathizing with
them in their opinions and principles, have
abundant occasion foe thanksgiving on this

neither Parliament, nor Hierarchy, nor King,
to interpret. The Puritans adhered to the
Established Church as far as the interpretation of the Bible seemed to warrant, but
no further, not even in things of indifference." This was Puritanism, "that not even
a ceremony should be tolerated unless it was
enjoined by the word of God." The adherents of this party were not a few weakminded enthusiasts and fanatics, but multitudes of the sturdy yeomanry of England.
They were Englishmen, whom no threats
could intimidate or persecutions subdue. If
time would allow, I should delight to trace
the progress of the Puritan party from the days
of Edward VI. to those of Victoria. Sometimes under the iron heel of tyrannical power,
the party may have been led to commit an
occasional excess or overleap the line of prudence, but for the most part, the history of
our Puritan ancestors is made up of the
records of noble deeds and manly efforts to
promote the cause of civil and religious liberty. A modern lecturer upon the heroes of
the English commonwealth, employs this

language:

" It was Hampden who established in the
English mind tho idea of liberty, Cromwell who
established the idea of toleration, Make the idea
that Britain must be master of the mas, and
Milton the idea of the liberty of the press. This
was tho special work of these four men, all
Puritans, the lathers of Lritish liberty."
How it does quicken the blood in one's
veins to read of the earnest struggles of our
Puritan ancestors of an earlier date than the
Commonwealth. .Respecting a host, whoso
names are upon record, and richly deserving
that record, it may well be said

can boast of few reviews or essays to
equal Macaulay's upon Milton, and yet the
gems of that article, are the writer's sketches
of Puritan character.
The Puritans were men whose minds had derived a peculiar character from tho daily contemplation of superior beings and external interests.
Not content with acknowledging in general terms,
an ovoruling Providence, they habitually ascribed
every event to the will of the Great Being, for
whose power nothing was too vast, for whoso inspection nothing was too minute. * * * They
rejected with contempt, the ceremonious
homage
which other sects substitutedfor tho pure worship
of the soul. Instead of catching occasional
gliutpses of tho Doity, through an obscuring
veil, they aspired to gaze full on the intolerable
brightness, and to commune with him face to
face. Ilenco originated their contempt for terrestrial distinctions. * * * They recognized no
title to superiority but his favor. * * * If they
were unacquainted with the works
of philosophy and poetry, they were deeply read in the
oracles of God. If their names wero not found
in tho registers of heralds, they felt assured that
they were recorded in the Book ofLifts. If their
stops were not accompanied liy a splendid train
of menials, hosts of ministering angels had
charge over them. Their palaces wero houses
not made with hands; their diadems were
crowns of glory which would neter fude away!
On the rich and the eloquent, on nobles and
priests, they looked down with contempt; for
they esteemed themselves rich in a more precious
treasure, and eloquent in a more sublime language, nobles by the right of an earlier creation,
and priests by tho imposition of a mightier
hand."
The era has forever passed away, for nar-

"

rowininded writers to belie and misrepresent
these facts of history. The tendency is now towards the other extreme. Poets, orators, essayists and historians, are new combining to
weave a wreath worthy to place upon the brow
of the Puritan of history. Even Oliver Cromwell—whose lifeless remains were dug up and
hung at Tyburn —is now a hero among the
English hero worshippers. Macaulay speaks
of the " ability and energy of his splendid
administration;" and again he remarks,
" never before had religious liberty and the
freedom of discussion been enjoyed in a
greater degree. Never had the national
honor been better upheld abroad, or the seat
of justice better filled at home."
It has taken, however, two hundred years
for the character of Cromwell, one of England's greatest, wisest, and most powerful of
rulers and statesmen, to triumph over long
eras of abuse and misrepresentation. Englishmen are now proud of Oliver Cromwell,
the Puritan Protector, as well as of his illustrious Secretary, John Milton, the author
of Paradise Lost. But 1 must abruptly
break off in this sketch of Puritan history,
reserving my remarks upon their subsequent
history, in America, to another branch ofmy
general subject. All this mighty struggle, a
rapid glance at which I have now taken,
seemed the necessary and preparatory work,
to make ready a people who should be fitted
to lay the foundation of the great North
American Republic. It was during these
troubles at home, that successive parties embarked for New England. Even Oliver
Cromwell had his passage, at one time, engaged for Boston. In the beautiful and
quaint language of Longfellow, in his recent
poem, The Courtship of Miles Standish."

The origin of the settlements at Plymouth
and Massachusetts Bay, are distinctly to be
traced to that conflict of the 17th century.
The number of Puritans who came over
from England and settled in New England,
is estimated at 21,200, or about 4000 families. Their descendants are now estimated

this fact be to us a source of Thanksgiving
on this Festival Day?
Fourthly and lastly : The Missionary and
benevolent spirit displayed by the Puritans
and their descendants is deserving of notice
on this occasion, and is well calculated to call
forth our thanksgiving.
The religious opinions of the Puritans
being known, it might naturally be supposed,
that they would become active in the philanthropic movements of the age. From their
earliest record, they cherished a deep sense
of personal responsibility. Every man and
woman felt that they had eat ha mission to
perform. That mission was religious in its
nature, but still it did not demand any remissness, in regard to the social and relative
duties of life. They were not satisfied with
merely living without doing any harm, but
they must do something positively good.
The world must be made better for their living in it. They must work as religious men

Missions to the Indians were not confined

ing the 18th, being prosecuted by the devoted

Puritans did not exhaust itself in the 18th
century, but at the opening of the 19th, it
burst forth with renewed vigor. Young

were fired with the zeal of an Elliot and the
piety of a Brainard. They have prosecuted
and are now carrying forward missions
among the Choctaws, Cherokees, and many
other of the Indian tribes of North America.
Most nobly have they held on their way
against an untold amount of opposition.
The missionary spirit among the descendants of the Puritans, was not confined to the
work among the Indians and the new settlements, but urged forward young men to go
abroad and establish missions in Asia,
Africa, and the islands of the sea. This
year is the jubilee year of the American
Board of Foreign Missions.

American missionaries had done more towards
upholding tho truth and spreading the Gospel of
Christ in the East, than any body of men in this
or any other age.''
A similar testimony to the usefulness of tho labors of the American missionaries has also been
given in a recent letter from Hon. James Williams, United States Minister at Constantinople,
to the missionaries at Beyrout. He says:
"It has been my good fortuno to become personally acquainted with a majority of theAmcri-"

others I have been brought into communication,

they aro collectively and individually an honor to

In their lives they exemplify the virtues which
thoy teach to others, and thuß by precept and example gain tho esteem of even those who opposo

by the number of their converts, know but littlo
of the real field of usefulness in which they aro
sowing seed which will one day spring up for the
harvest. From my own observation, I most cordially concur in the opinion which was expressed
to mo by a high dignitary of a church which does
not regard their doctrines with a favorable eye,
to the effect that the American missionaries had
contributed more to the literary and moral advancement of, and to the diffusion of useful
knowlodgo in the Turkish'empire, than had been

Letter from Rev. J. Goble.

Nov. 9, IS6O.
Rev. S. C. Damon :—1 seize the present
opportunity to drop you a line or two by the
schooner Alert, which I hear is to sail tomorrow or next day for Honolulu. The
steamer Niagara, arrived to-day, with the
Japanese Embassy on board, and I suppose
that the Ambassadors, with their friends, are
now rejoicing greatly that, after having sailed round the globe, they have again reached
their homes in safety. The Niagara has
gone on to Veddo, and as I have not yet
heard from her, I cannot send all the news I
could wish.
We have been able to get a small house
for our accommodation, and aro now trying
to learn the language as fast as we can.
We have found many encouragements already—the people are generally friendly and
manifest a spirit of inquiry quite above
what we expected to find. Talking with ;t
Kanagawa, jArAN,

teacher, he said that all men everywhere
were conscious of sin, and that all the wisdom of man could not save them ; and that
he thought that God was about to look down
on Japan and mult away the sins of the people, as the sun would look down after a
snow-storm and melt the snow. I said, why
do you think so ? He replied, " Like all
other people who are untaught, the Japanese
are ignorant, but now God has sent teachers
(meaning all the missionaries) to teach the
people the more perfect way." We also find
that the people who can read Chinese are all
quite ready to read our books, and we have
already distributed numbers of copies of the
Bible Evidences of Christianity," illustrated Bible Histories, and many religious
tracts. We hope ere long to be able to speak
to the people in their own language, and to
have native Bibles and books to distribute.
I have seen Capt. Munjero, but he is compelled to be very cautious about visiting foreigners. Only a few days ago, he was shut
up three days in his own house for coming
from Yeddo to Yokohama, and going on
board a Dutch steamer without permission.
We have not only a pleasant country, full of
hills and valleys, trees, flowers, and smiling
fields to look upon, but we have one of the
most pleasant places in the country for our
home, a mission composed of three families,
and another family within call. We have
no wide roads and carriages to ride over the
country, but we have narrow roads and
horses and saddles, to exercise our limbs and
see the country around.

"

Yours, &c.,

J. Goble.

Do good to your friend, that he may
be more wholly yours; to your enemy, that
he may become your friend.
