The foreign church and coinniunity are
prospering finely. The house is well filled
every Sabbath with attentive hearers. The
whole people are deeply interested in this
yonurr church, and they could be no more attentive to their pastor than they are —" anticipating every want, providing lor every
necessity." The children of the Sabbathschool have been vying with their parents
and friends m providing for and furnishing
the parsonage, which is just as cozy a place
as you could wish for. If they have not good
sermons, it will not be because they have not
done their part. The sailors, too, have borne
a hand in this matter, Capt. Bliven uniting
his recourses with the Sunday-school children—ten dollars worth—to surprise us on
the seventh anniversary of our marriage with
a very handsome piece of koa furniture. He
also supplied a keg of oil to the parsonage.
He believes in the Scripture injunction,
" Let your light shine."
Capt. Fisher also contributed five dollars
toward building a study for the pastor, which
by the way is to be a very neat and comfortable one, framed by your townsman, Mr.
Torbert. A keg of oil also from Capt.

What

College Needs.

—

.1 .Veto Library Huilding and Library Fund A
Scientific Professorship—A good Telcscojic and
mnrr Apparatus.

The present seems to us a fitting time to
lay the wants and the claims of Oahu College before our readers. Now that the Hawaiian Government is very properly establishing a school in Honolulu on a permanent
basis for English speaking children, it is
time that public attention should be turned
to the importance of putting Oahu College
in a position to meet the just expectations o(
its friends, and the actual wants of the country. It is time that a school which aspires to
stand at the head of the educational institutions of the country should be enabled to take
a step in advance, instead of struggling along
from year to year, unable to enlarge its
course of study, to increase its library or ap-

paratus, or to do anything worthy of mention ior the cause of science. For the last
four or five years since it ceased to ask aid
from the American Board, the institution has
been running under close reefed topsails.
The time has fully come to shake out the
reefs, and to set more sail.
The College needs many things, but most
of all a professorship of the natural science*,
and a new building to contain the library and
scientific collections. And here we would
remark that an endowed literary institution
like Oahu College is intended not merely for
the instruction of its pupils for the time
being, but to be a seat of learning. Its library
is not intended merely for the use of pupils,
though it is of great benefit to them both directly, and through the increased facilities it
affords their instructors. Indeed, the very
presence of a well selected library exerts an
influence for good. The true scholar cannot
wander through the alcoves, and look at
those silent teachers without having his
heart stirred within him. The mere familiarity with the names of the standard authors

Seamen.
Our special thanks are due to those rive
mercantile houses in Honolulu which contributed so liberally for the support of Mr. E.
Diinseouibe as a colporteur among seamen.
We refer to C. A. Williams, Esq., Charles
Brewer & Co., Charles L. Richards & Co.,
H. Hackfeld & Co., and F. A. Schnefer
& Co. The book containing their subscriptions is placed in the hands of C. R.
Bishop, Esq., Treasurer of the Honolulu
Sailor's Home Society. Any person interested in this cause, and willing to subscribe
for its promotion, may do so by calling upon
Mr. Bishop. A donation to the cause of
$100 was made by J. W. Austin, Esq.
Other gentlemen have intimated their willingness to promote the good object.

the United States Consul has transferred the

Editorial Remarks.—(l.) It is a remarkable fact that in the foregoing list, including
from twenty to thirty clergymen, Protestant
and Catholic, we are not aware that more
than two have died, viz Rev. John Diell,
first seamen's chaplain, died and was buried
at sea in 1841 on his homeward passage
around Cape Horn. A monument to his
memory has been erected in Nuuanu Valley

:

Cemetery. The other deceased person is the
Rev. R. Armstrong, D. D., who died in Honolulu September 23d, 1860.
(2.) The name of the Key. T. D. Hunt is
not inserted in the foregoing list, although
he preached a few months in Honolulu in
1818. He would probably have soon organized a church, over which he would have
been settled as pastor, but the discovery of
gold in California nearly depopulated Honolulu of foreign residents, and he also went to
San Francisco, where he organized the First
Congregational Church. He is now pastor
of the Presbyterian Church in Niles, Mich-

igan.

(3.) The Rev. Mr. Siueatliinan, an English Episcopal clergyman, preached, or rather
read, the Episcopal service a few Sabbaths
in Honolulu in 1852.

The chapel and parsonage were built under
his special superintendence in 1833. In regard to all of our associates and fellow laborers, it is our privilege in liear the most unqualified testimony respecting their zeal,
ardor and efficiency in their Divine Master's
work. They have occupied no sinecures.
With some our differences (speaking theologically) have been " totum ceeluin ; " still in the
social and ordinary intercourse of life, we
have found them genial and pleasant acquaintances and neighbors. There has been
room enough for us all to work, and each to
conform to his own peculiar views of truth
and method of doing good. After men have
agreed to disagree upon theological and religious topics, there is still a broad field upon
which they can work more or less harmoniously together. It is no small attainment to
respect a man's views who diners from you,
and at the same time, by a kindly and judicious course, lead him to respect yours. It
is only by this method that men—ministers—
can dwell together as children of the same
Great Parent and Common Saviour. The
Pharisees of old made broad their phylacteries
and enlarged the borders of their garments,
but they did not wear a mantle of charity.
As years roll away, we are more and more
inclined to enlarge and broaden our mantle
of charity, while we are no less tenacious of
holding on to the essential truths and doctrines of the Bible. "Judge not, that ye be
not judged," was the precept of our Saviour
in his sermon upon the mount. We have
ever regarded Honolulu as a good place
wherein to preach the Gospel, and we have
known many good Christian people residing
here, ready to co-operate in the building up
of the Church of Christ and the spread of the
truth. In no part of the world can we expect to find a larger proportion of Christian
people, compared with the entire population,
nor anywhere could we expect to find those
who belter appreciated the labors of Gospel
ministers. We have seen that when those
preaching the Gospel were faithful and true,
the people gathered around them, and appreciated theirlaborsand preaching. Weareconfitlent that those who have been dissatisfied
and complained of the good people ofHonothan

on the part of the people. Our experience of a
quarter of a century and more has brought
us to this conclusion, that when ministers of
the Gospel will labor faithfully in their appropriate work, they may always find enough
to do, and to employ their hands, heads and
hearts, and by minding their Master's and
their own business, they would thereby disarm

The New York Tribune gives a very striking example of the results of liquor prohibition on a community, in an account ol the
flourishing condition of Vinelond, in West
Jersey, which was established on the principles, first, that no land should be sold except
in small traels to actual settlers, under stipulations which oblige the purchaser to enter
at once upon its improvement ; and, second,
that there should be no grog shop, lager beer
saloon, or other place, licensed or permitted
to sell alcoholic liquors, unless the people, at
a regular election, should decree otherwise.
The setlleineni is now about twelve years
old, and contains over ten thousand inhabitants, mostly immigrants in moderate circumstances, who live chiefly by tilling the soil,
which is a poor one. Respecting the condition of the little community, the Overseer of
the Poor, Mr. S.T. Cortis, reports as follows:
" Though we have a population of 10,000
people, for the period of six months no settler
or citizen of Vineland has required relief at
my hands us Overseer of the Poor. Within
seventy days there has only been one case,
among what we call the floating population,
at an expense of four dollars.
" During the entire year there has only
been one indictment, and that a trifling cause
ol assault and battery among our colored
population.
" So few are the fires in Vineland that we
have no need of a fire department. There
has only been one house burnt down in a
year, and two slight fires, which were soon

put out.
We practically have no debt, and our
taxes are only one per cent, on the valua-

"

tion.
" The police expenses of Vineland amount
to $75 per year, the sum paid to me ; and
our poor expenses a mere trifle.
1 ascribe this remarkable state of things,
so "nearly approaching the golden age, to the
industry of our people and the absence of
King Alcohol.
" Let me give you, in contrast to this, the
state of things in the town from which 1

the town was 9,500—a little less than thai
of Vineland. It maintained forty liquor shops.
These kept busy a police judge, city marshal,

That small place maintained a paid fire department of four companies, of forty men
each, at an expense of $3,000 per annum. I
belonged to this department for six years, and
the fires averaged one about every two weeks,
and mostly incendiary. The support of the
poor cost $2,500 per annum. The debt of
the township was $120,000. The condition
of things in this New England town is as
favorable in that country as- that of many
other places where liquor is sold."

Editor's Visit to the United States.
Just twenty-seven years ago to-day, March
10, 1842, we embarked from New York on
board the good ship " Victoria," John H.
Spring, master, for Honolulu. After a voyage
of seven months, touching at Valparaiso and
Callao, we reached Honolulu October 19th,
and were kindly welcomed by the few foreigners then residing in thiscily. Some few
of the old residents still remain. With them,
and multitudes more as they have come and
gone, we have been permitted to dwell and
hold pleasant intercourse. The pages of the
briend during the last quarter of a century
are a partial record of our life and labors in
obedience to our ordination vows as a minister of the Gospel and a chaplain of the American Seamen's Friend Society. On the 7th
of November, 1841, the Rev. J. Spaulding,
Secretary of that Society, in the "old brick
church " of the. Rev. Dr. Spring, gave us our
instructions, from which we quote as follows:
" The particular field of your labors will
be the port of Honolulu, and the special object of your solicitude, prayers and efforts
will be the sons of the ocean. * *
In this
commercial and central position between the
coasts of Asia and America, you are to stand
erect as a minister of Jesus Christ. With

•

foreign residents you will be expected to
maintain a kind and courteous intercourse ;
and if they shall be disposed to attend upon
your ministry, you will watch for their souls
as one that must give account. Your work,
though distinct from that of the missionary
brethren there, embraces the same end—the
glory of God in the salvation of men. Therefore, you will co-operate with them; avail
yourself of their counsels, and let the world
behold how pleasant it is for brethren to
dwell together in unity.
•• In leaving the United States for a foreign land, you will remember that you leave
not you* citizenship behind. At Honolulu
you will be a citizen still of the land that
pive you birth, and entitled to its civil pro-

tection. The honor of your own country,
therefore, as well as Christian and professional considerations, will cause you to abstain from all interference with the local and
political interests of that people. Never let
the preacher of Christ become the partisan of
the world."
It is not for us to say how far we have
•succeeded in complying with those instructions. We know what our honest purpose
has been. In the good Providence of God,
it has been our privilege to enjoy uninterrupted health. In only two or three instances
have we been prevented by illness from fulfilling every appointment upon the Sabbath
and week day. Aside from an occasional
vacation to the other islands, a trip to Oregon and California in '49, to the Eastern
Suites in '51, und n voyage to Micronesia in

'61, we have labored at our assigned post of
duty. To all seamen or landsmen who have
in any manner, privately or publicly, contributed for our support, or for sustaining
any of those enterprises which we have
aimed to carry forward, we now return our
sincere thanks. We are not unmindful of
the fact that without " let or hindrance," and
with much encouragement from the Hawaiian Government, we have lived and labored
under three Kanehameiias.
During our absence, we have made such
arrangements that we hope the affairs of this
chaplaincy will move along harmoniously
and prosperously. The supply of the regular preaching upon the Sabbath is entrusted
to a Committee of the Bethel Church, viz.,
Thomas Thrum, Daniel Foster and Joseph
O. Carter.
The I'rieud will be continued and appear
regularly on the Ist of each mouth. All
business relating to donations and subscriptions is entrusted to Mr. E. Dunscombe, the
colporteur for seamen ; office at the Sailor's
Home. It is our design to correspond for its
columns while abroad. Mr. D. is instructed
to distribute the Friend gratuitously among
seamen of all nations visiting the port, and
it is to be hoped donors will come forward
with their donations, as in former years.
The Bethel will be sustained by the American Seamen's Friend Society and the cooperation of the friends of the establishment
in Honolulu and among seamen. The usual
annual appropriation of $800 from the New
York Society will be devoted to the support
of the preaching and the sustaining of the
colporteur.
We especially regret leaving just now,
from the fact of the Bethel having recently
become the centre of the Chinese missionary
operations, Mr. Aheong preaching there Sabbath evenings to an audience of over one
hundred of his countrymen. A free school
of twenty scholars has been organized, which
will be taught three evenings each week by
Mr. Dunscombe. Most sincerely we hope
this enterprise will not be suffered to languish
by the good people of Honolulu anil the isl-

ands generally.

A Curious Dream, but Suggestive.—We
recently met the President of Oahu College,
and he remarked that his night visions had
been remarkable. He fancied himself on a
visit to his old Alma Mater, Vale College,
New Haven, and while there enjoying the
kind hospitalities of his old professors, a
wealthy gentleman entered bringing bags of
gold. One after another was deposited upon
the floor. This treasure was for the endowment of a Professorship. But in what college ? " Vale ? " Oh no, but " Oahu College ! " It was furthermore remarkable the
amount of the endowment was $35 000. The
dream so harmonized with our matter-of-fact
plea for Oahu College in our present issue,
that we could not well refrain from publishing it, even without asking our worthy President's permission. '• I had a dream, which
was not all a dream," says Byron, and we
hope our plea for Oahu College may not
prove, in the language of Shakespeare, "such
stuff as dreams are made of."

Term Examination at Oahu College.—
The faculty have commenced holding examinations at the close of each term. These
are even more thorough and exacting than
the annual examination at the close of the
year. Pupils in Ike languages, Latin and
Greek, are furnished with
" printed exercises " for translation, and arc required to
furnish written answers and translations,
without the aid of a dictionary or grammar.
This is after the style of the best schools in
England and America.
Personal.—Some six years ago Joel Bean
and wife visited the Sandwich Islands. They
were members of the Society of Friends.
During their sojourn they became much interested in the Hawaiian people and many
of the mission families. Letters recently received from Mr. Bean indicate that he still
retains a lively interest in this part of the
world. Mr. and Mrs. Bean are now principals of a large school at West Branch, lowa.

An old subscriber on Long Island,
once engaged in the whaling business, desires to subscribe "forever" for the Friend,
and inquires how he shall make remittance.
For his information and that of all other subscribers in the United States, we would say,
send through the post-office United States
postage stamps of 2, 5 and 10 cent value.

It is a source of much gratification that
the " Bethel," the Friend and the " Home "
are all free from debt, and we confidently
hope the friends of seamen anil others will
manifest their good will towards
them in time to come as they have in times

We were gratified Insf Sabbatli morning

by noticing the attendance, at the Stockton
Street Presbyterian Church, of two sailor
boys. Evidently they were just from sea,

judging from their weather-beaten faces, and
hands badly scarred with hard usage, and
clothes just from the"chat," wrinkled anil
soiled. Their red undershirts and general
appearance showed indisputably that they
were tailors. They came to church as worshipers, bringing with them their polyglot
Bible, gilt edged nnd illustrated. They were
familiar, too, with its contents. They followed the pastor in the rending of the Scriplure lesson and in looking for the text, anil
were thankful for the hymn-hook kindly
handed them by a lady in an adjoining pew.
More, they paid close attention to the sermon, nor did they forget their offering to the

Lord when the plate was pawed around.
We would like to know more of the history
ol these two lads. Hut we will venture to
say that they have or had praying mothers,
and that their visit to the house of (>od was
in answer to the prayer of faith. The writer
has a brother who once went down to the
sea in ships, and did business upon the great
waters. He went away from home hardened, intemperate, and with other besetting
sins. His patents mourned and grieved to
part with their Benjamin, but round and
round the world he went, followed by a faithful mother's prayers. Those prayers were
answered. He came back and took up his
residence in one of the Western States, and
after serving a probationary term of two or
three years, returned to his native town, nnd
now for many long years he has been a man
of mark in New York, ami il 10-day at the
head of a banking house in that State. His
aged mother still lives, and he is a source of
rmtCfl happiness nnd comfort to her, now
that she is old and well stricken in yean.
Though upwards of 84 years of age, she still

A lew days ago we met the captain of the
ship " California," now in tins port, live
months from Boston. He is the son of the
Rev. Dr. N. Adams, of the Kssex Street
Congregational Church in Boston. We had
seen him once before in this city, a few years
ago. /Capt. Adams is a very young iimn
still,
very competent, skillful and trustworthy man. He makes his ship a kintl of
floating Bethel. He is an actively religious
man, and secures other oaken mid a crew
m sympathy with himself, when it is practicable. He conducts daily morning and
evening worship in the cabin, holds special
Sunday services, and has a social or Bible
class meeting every Wednesday night. Thus
he carries his church with him to sea, and
offers the blessings and privileges of it to the
little world about him. On tins lust voyage
