SEPTEMBER 1. 1879.
The Sailor's Friend.
The apostle Paul declares that
" it is good
zealously affected always in a good
thing." Mr. Plimsoll, M. P., has nobly
shown that he is zealously affected and determined to protect British seamen. Late
English and American papers contain frequent mention of the efforts of this philanthropist in behalf of the lives and safety of
seamen. He has shown by facts and statisto be
tics that hundreds, aye thousands, of seamen
are annually sacrificed to the cupidity of
British ship-owners, by sending ships to sea
utterly unseaworthy ! The facts no one can
gainsay. Mr. Plimsoll endeavored to obtain
the passage of a law to rectify these abuses,
but the members of parliament would not
pass the law. Mr. Plimsoll arose in indignation, and called things by their right
names ! He has since apologized for his unparliamentary language, but he is no less resolved to press the matter before the British
public; and we rejoice that his appeal is being heard. The people are taking the matter up and depend upon it something good
will come. John Bull is rather hard to
arouse, but when his ire up, parliament will
obey ! It is a hard matter in old England
to rectify old uses and abuses, but the history of reforms should surely encourage Mr.
Plimsoll. He has pluck and facts, and erelong they will win the day.
Organ—While we are preparing
to issue our paper, our new organ is going up, and we hope next Sabbath or very
soon its tones will assist in the worship of
the sanctuary. We feel under very great
obligations to all who have rendered such
generous aid in its purchase, and in our
next issue we shall report the sources from
which aid has been derived. We would
now acknowledge an additional donation of
the freight on the organ, per Ceylon, from
C. Brewer, Esq., of Boston.

Old Testament Scriptures.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The Scriptures are not a lot of books
thrown together without regard to order.
There is a consecutive arrangement of them
all through. Beginning with the scene of
an earthly Paradise, the Scriptures clpse
with the scene of a heavenly Paradise. Beginning with the tree of life, which was forfeited, it closes with a tree of life which
shall be ours eternally. Beginning with
man under probation, it ends with man in
absolute and unconditioned grace. Beginning with an earthly marriage, it closes with
the glorious scene of a heavenly marriage;
and all throughout, from first to last, there is
a regular gradation and development, in
Genesis we find the story of God's trial of
man in various conditions always resulting
in failure—failure in Paradise, failure when
men were without law, failure when they
were under law, failure under the patriarchal
system, winding up with the terrible bondage of the children of Israel in Egypt. The
second book gives us the story of man's redemption. We have sometimes sought to
take the redemption without placing the Red
Sea between us and the world we have left.
In the third book we find God's provision in
our condition of infirmity and failure in having continual access to Himself. In the
fourth book we have the people of God being brought forward into the glorious land
of their inheritance, and trusting Jehovah,
whose wonderful hand and power they bad
just experienced in being turned back into
the wilderness for forty years. In Deuteronomy we have the second giving of the
law, that deeper and more searching examination of our hearts in the light of the will
of God which always precedes the more
definite entrance on a life of full obedience
and communion, in Joshua we have the
story of their crossing Jordan, beginning
with the words, "Up, sanctify yourselves;
for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders
among you." I believe that is the word for
our day here, that God is coming to do wonders throughout his Church, such as before
we have scarcely dared to hope for. The
story of Joshua is one of almost unbroken
victory, and at the close of the book he says,
know how, in all your hearts and all
" Yousouls,
your
every promise God has made to
you has been yours." Joshua died ; and
when those who had known him, and the
elders which had crossed the Jordan had all
died, then came a scene of failure ; but our
Joshua, our Jesus, never dies. We may
have a life of victory even unto the end.
There comes the story of the failure, but not
as an example. God save us from taking
the failures his book has recorded as our example instead of our warning ! It is a very
serious danger to Christians. And then He
leads us on every here and there in the Bible, through fine vistas, such as in the Book
of Ruth, in the Song of Songs, in Hosea,
and elsewhere, especially in the great song
of love which has its consummation at the
end of the Bible in the marriage of the
Lamb. Then we have the diary of Christ
in the Psalms, and the heart of Christ unveiled to us. Then come the three books of
Solomon—first the avoidance of evil, then
that wisdom is better, and then the Song of
Songs. There is a Sabbath of sabbaths, and
there is a song of the consummated union of
our hearts with our Lord and Saviour.
Then come the prophecies of the coming of
our Lord, with God's terrible denunciations
of sin, and then for several hundred years
the book of revelation is sealed.

another is executed having the sparkling waters in the
foreground, and all else thrown in the background, each presenting a picture of the
same landscape; and to have a vivid idea
of it we should have all four. The Holy
Spirit has given us through four different
mediums the story of our Lord's life. Who
were the writers? The first was an officer
of the Roman Government; the second was
a servant; the third was a physician; the
fourth was a man of philosophic character
and loving temperament The first naturally
gives the character of our Lord Jesus Christ
as King, and his pedigree is traced from
King David as a king descended from a
king. The seqgpd of these biographies is
written by the servant John Mark, who
gives no pedigree of our Lord, but commences with a vivid picture and resume of
his miracles and works The third delineates the picture of our Lord os the Man
Christ Jesus, and there we find the tender
picture of the prodigal son. In the fourth
we find the pedigree of Christ traced all
the way back to the head of the human
race, Adam. It says, "In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God." It at once
commences with Christ's divinity. 1 could
trace these things more fully, but the
purpose of this meeting does not admit
of it.

The Four Gospels.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The portion of the Bible I would immediately call your attention to is the four
Gospels, which are the four narratives of
our Lord's life. If you want a very vivid
picture for a photograph, you take a stereoscope, and, looking with two eyes from two
standpoints, the figure is projected into likelike distinctness; and so our God has given
us four lives of our Lord Jesus Christ, each
distinct, each portraying especially one side
of his character. When 1 was young, I

In these days, when postal treaties are being re-adjusted and settled, we do hope the
proper officials will remedy one evil connected with our present postal law. It refers to
newspapers, requiring a prepayment of two
cents on papers sent to the United States,
and four cents to Europe. This law is most
inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person
in the United States would send a newspaper hither, he is not required to hunt up a
two cent Hawaiian postage stamp; now why
should the good people of the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only two
cents Hawaiian, but two cents American.

The New Sailors' Shipping Laws of U. S.
The endless troubles and disputes under
the old system are well known. At the end
of tl»e year 1874, Capt. C. C. Duncan, U. S.
Shipping Commissioner, for the port of New
York, is able to make a most satisfactory
Report, from which we quote as follows :
There have been shipped at this office
during the year just closed 26,636 seamen,
of which 5,374 have been rcshipments, and
for these latter no fees have been charged to
vessel or seamen. 15,206 were shipped
without advance. In the time period 27,-576 were paid off. 81,653,186 08 have
been paid into seamen's own hands, while
they were sober, for wages aue and accruing, and no complaint touching the law or
its workings has ever reached the Commissioner from any such seamen.
A large and growing number of disputes
between masters and seamen have been satisfactorily settled and many vexatious and
expensive law suits avoided.
Wages of deceased seamen, amounting to
$3,333 58, have been collected and paid into
court, a large part of which has gone thence
to heirs and administrators.
The entire amount of fees received during
the year is 856,169 00, and of expenses,
including a balance of $2,581 33 due on
last year's account, $56,974 57.
There has been no case of " shanghacing,' mutiny, riot or bloodshed on shipboard,
nor one complaint by any seaman of injustice or mistake in settlement of wages or in
the payment of advance notes, among the
men snipped and paid off under the Shipping Act in the port of New York, during
the year 1874.
How
strange, oh
now
strange,
that men
10 desire life and desire to enjoy the good
ings of life, desire to enjoy the society of
their families and friends, can ruin their
prospects for time and eternity by the use of
intoxicating liquors. We do not wonder
that men of low and vicious habits, corrupt
and debased minds, plunge into intemperance ; but how men of education, family,
and standing in society can drink from the
drunkard's cup,—this seems passing strange.
But more than all, how unaccountable that
women can indulge in " drinking customs."
Tell it not in Gath !
.
A Fair Chance for the Women.
At last a practical opportunity is to be afforded
for deciding tbe much vexed question of the capacity of women fur the higher education. Tbe discussion of tbis questiou bas raged for years with
no abatement of zeal or vehemence on either side,
and yet no result bas been arrived at. Dr. Clarke
and others have argued with learned ponderosity
to prove tbat " there is sex in mind
aud that
women cannot go through with tbe bigber academic course of study pursued by our young
men without permanent injury to tbeir health.
I'rolessur Seeley and numerous other learned gentlemen belonging to the school of John Stuart Mill
have replied with an air of triumphant scora to
these ungallant heresies. Botb sides make such a
formidable parade ot logic and learning ; both are
80 confident, so perfectly sell-satisfied, so supercilious toward their opponents, tbat plain people
dipping into tbe controversy find themselves hopelessly bewildered and at a loss with which party to
take sides. There is a great deal of homely wisdom in the old adage about tbe proof ol tbe
pudding.'' Many a dispute which, if left to mere
argument, would have gone on forever, bas been
settled by the irrefragable test ol an easy and
simple experiment. Thanks to the munificence of
Miss Smith, the founder of the Woman's College
at Northampton, Massachusetts. Ibere is now a
prospect of bringing tbe question of sex in
mind" to tbe test of actual experiment. The
College bas just been formally opened. Tbe
President on tbat occasion claimed in bis opening
address that women's capaoitiea for tbe higher
education are equal to those of men. As to tbe
talk about the strain upon the health of girls
wbo enter upon a severe course of study, bo said
that the strain of study wus not half so severe
as Ihe strain of fashionable dissipation, late hours,
reckless eating, etc. We bare already a number
of so-called female colleges in the United States ;
but tbe education provided by them is not really
academic. Few of them arc higher in grade than
a good preparatory school. Some publish pretentious prospectuses, setting forth a formidable curriculum ol studies, most of wbich are either never
taken up or only glanced at so as to leave no
durable impression. Tbe malign genius of brain
pervades these unwholesome instutfons. Nothing
is taught deliberately, patiently and thoroughly.
Text-books are burried through and thrown aside,
leaving no solid residuum of knowledge, no valuable intellectual discipline, nothing tbat becomes
a part of tbe permanent furniture of tbe mind.
We inter from tbe President's address tbat tbe
Smith College at Northampton is to be a very
different sort of institution, and tbat its practical
workings may help to put an end to tbe controversy in regard to sex in mind."

Applications have frequently been
made for leased seats in the Chapel. The
rules of the Chapel services require that
seats be kept free to all—seamen, residents
and strangers.
Note.—The avails of the fair in 1872 have
enabled the Chaplain to meet the incidental,
ordinary and extraordinary expenses on the
Chapel until the present time. We hope the
friends of the Chapel service will bear in
mind that funds are neces?ary to meet incidental expenses.
We have received the following letter
in printed form. What next?
Honolulu, Aug. 26th, 1875.
To the Editor of the Friend:
Dear sir—lt is with pleasure I bring before your notice the latest and most useful
of all inventions, that of the type writer;
which, in a very short time will without
doubt take the place of the old style of hand
writing.
Yours most respectfully,
E. C. Damon,
Agent for the Hawaiian Islands,

The Queen and the Temperance Movement.-The
Key. Basil Wilberforce, of
Southampton, son of the late Bishop of
Winchester, having recently placed in Her
Majesty's hands some temperance literature,
has received, through Sir Thomas Biddulph,
the following gracious reply : " 1 am desired
to thank you for placing in Her Majesty's
hands works on a subject of the deepest importance to her and to every one in this
country. It is impossible for the Queen not
to be grateful to those who endeavor to mitigate an evil of such magnitude as the
widely-spread intemperance which unfortunately prevails."

FRIEND, SEPTEMBER,
Motley, the historian, is still very feeble from
tbe paralytic stroke which disabled bis right side
several months ago. He Is said to be much changed
by bis physical misfortune and the loss ot bis wife.
His friends fear he will never be able to resume
bis literary pursuits.
The attempt to cross the Atlantic in a balloon,
it is said, will certainly be made from New York
sometime in August. The balloon, which is now
at Chicago, (where an experimental trial trip is to
take place.) is sixty leet in diameter and seventy
feet transversely, and will hold 100.000 cubic feet
of gas. The bag is made from a cloth composed
of linen and cotton, and has been made with the
greatest of care, so as to be gus tight. la it* construction lluO yards of good wide cloth were
used. Mr. John H. Stlner, tbe aeronaut, will be
accompanied by an officer of tbe U.S. Navy, and
a scientitic, geutleman of Philadelphia.
The London Times has a long editorial expressing
concern at the condition and prospect* uf the
Briiisb iron trade, saying that •' Belgian spike and
bolt makers have just undersold Statfordshire by
£8 a ton in an East Indian order, and by £5 a ton
in a Finland order, while makers in France have
shamefully beaten us in an order just distributed
by the London, Brighton and South Coast railway.
The rate at which competition has been overtaking
us may be estimated from a single example—that
of the United Suites, where tbe production of iron
has been quadrupled within the last twenty yesrs."
The rimes concludes : The American iron market
is no longer commanded by our exports, and our
iron trade must bestir ilsell if it desires still to
command other markets, including the English, in
which it has already formidable rivals."

THE FRIEND.
SEPTEMBER,

that he were here to-dny to join in our congratulations upon the past, the present, and
in our hearty good wishes for the future.
I rejoice that in the sunset of life you are
blessed with the presence and tender love
and kind offices of daughter and granddaughter, and with the sympathy, and prayers, and attentions of related families; but,
above all, that you have our loving regard
and daily presence and care of an Almighty
Saviour, in view of whom you may confidently and gladly say, " Though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for Thou art with me :
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life; and I will dwell in
the honor of the Lord forever."
In being able to say this, through faith in
your Kedeemer, you are to be congratulated
on this joyful day, though it should prove
the last of the kind on earth, the great
event of passing comfortably the remaining

more choice and charming assemblage has
rarely convened in Honolulu. There was
beautiful mingling of youth and age. Mr.

occasion by his father, the Key. D. Dole.

ure, so far as Hawaiians are concerned. The
Privy Council has authorized the Hawaiian
Commissioners to draw 84,000 for this
purpose, and appointed a committee to
expend that money. Unless, however, the
community vigorously sustain this committee, but little can be expected. We fully
believe that if the proper steps are now
taken there need be no failure ; but now is
the time to plan and to work.
In referring to the published Programme
of the 17. S. Commission in Philadelphia,
we discover that a space amounting to 3888
feet has been set apart for the " Sandwich
Islands." This space is Sandwiched between Liberia and Hay ti, now unless we
bestir ourselves we shall be entirely overshadowed by the Liberians and Haytians. If
awake we can make a good show. As wo
huve seen no programme of what (he Hnwmiuiis can do, we would suggest as follows:
I—Specimens of Sugar from all Plantations.
2—Specimens of Coffee.
3—Specimens of Rice.
4—Specimens of Woods.
s—Specimens of Ferns.
6—Specimens of Books in Hawaiian.
7—Specimens of Newspapers in the English and Hawaiian languages.
B—Specimens of Lava from the Volcano.
9—A large Map of the Islands.
fO—Specimens of Photographic Scenery.
11—Specimens of Coral from the Reef.
12—Specimens of Native Houses.
13—Specimens of Hawaiian Ranchero
Saddles and Lasso.
14— Specimens of Tapas and Calabashes.
We do not propose this as a complete outline of what can be accomplished, because
there are wiser heads than ours, but we do
desire to see something done, and that immediately. If necessary, let the committee
instantly convene a meeting of Hawaiians
and foreigners to aid them in this national
undertaking. We have obtained a Treaty
of Reciprocity, now unless we make a respectable sbow at the U. S. Centennial, it
will be said that the Hawaiian Kingdom
after all is not much of an affair, nothing
more than what a California editor once described it, a watermelon patch in the broad
Pacific, or what the Hon. Edward Everett
once called, a pin-head Kingdom. Now
we hold a very different opinion, and we
shall be most sadly disappointed if something is not done, and that immediately to
promote this noble enterprise. It is for the
honor of the nation, the King, the cause of
missions, the progress of knowledge, and
the advancement of science and civilization
that we look in carrying out this undertaking. More anon.

Seen Through Tears.
Io pious books I Bought a way
To find a Saviour's Love;
But farther still my feet did stray
From God's straight road above.
While loat and worn I made my quest,
I saw a melting flood;
A weeping sool that eager prest.
And by the Master stood.
—
Down in tbe dust, her bumble soul.
In grief and tears did lie
And o'er His feet the love drops roll.
Her drooping hair doth dry.
:
Then comfort spake the heart touched Lord,
Aa oil aud tear* were poured;
And sweetly apoke the pardoning word,
Thia poor dear soul implored.
Now like a eryatal lena for me
This fount of love grief flows;
I clearly now a Saviour see.
And in his peace repose.
No more I aeek in books to read,
When from my God I stray;
For Love no lexicon doth need
To find it* Heavenly way.
The Saviour and the Sinner.
Some of the most touching scene* in our
Saviour's life relate to women. One of
those scenes, if nothing else remained, is
enough to bind the world's heart to him
forever. The occasion was one which
brought out the characteristics of the interlocutors very sharply. A Pharisee had
asked Christ to break bread with him, and
" a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in
the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
box of ointment "—probably all she had in
the world—"and stood at hi* feet behind
him, weeping, and began to wash his feet
with tears, and did wipe them with the
hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the ointment,"—so near
being an angel was this poor sinning sister !
Never was modesty so modest,—stood at
his feet,— stood behind him,—stood behind
him weeping : only God can interpret the
full meaning of such tears. Tbe cold-eyed
Pharisee saw nothing in her but a " sinner;"
Christ saw a woman, flesh and blood of his
owner mother, and his great gentle heart
was shaken with unutterable pity. The
Pharisee saw his opportunity; like all little
natures, he knew more of logic than of
philanthropy, and instantly he set up this
argument: " This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what manner
of woman this is that toucheth him, for she
is a sinner." Men are often the victims of
their own

logic.—always, indeed, when tance. Who can measure that "wore"?
Sin is thus made to have its compensations.
The twice-born man shall be a double joy
in his Father's house. Sin shall not be all
loss. Even for sin's sake, heaven shall be
filled with a sweeter and gladder hallelujah.
Ecce Dens.
logic leads away from love. The eye that
saw the " woman " under the " sinner," saw
the sneering sceptic under the observing but

THE FRIEND.
SEPTEMBER 1. 1879.
The Sailor's Friend.
The apostle Paul declares that
" it is good
zealously affected always in a good
thing." Mr. Plimsoll, M. P., has nobly
shown that he is zealously affected and determined to protect British seamen. Late
English and American papers contain frequent mention of the efforts of this philanthropist in behalf of the lives and safety of
seamen. He has shown by facts and statisto be
tics that hundreds, aye thousands, of seamen
are annually sacrificed to the cupidity of
British ship-owners, by sending ships to sea
utterly unseaworthy ! The facts no one can
gainsay. Mr. Plimsoll endeavored to obtain
the passage of a law to rectify these abuses,
but the members of parliament would not
pass the law. Mr. Plimsoll arose in indignation, and called things by their right
names ! He has since apologized for his unparliamentary language, but he is no less resolved to press the matter before the British
public; and we rejoice that his appeal is being heard. The people are taking the matter up and depend upon it something good
will come. John Bull is rather hard to
arouse, but when his ire up, parliament will
obey ! It is a hard matter in old England
to rectify old uses and abuses, but the history of reforms should surely encourage Mr.
Plimsoll. He has pluck and facts, and erelong they will win the day.
Organ—While we are preparing
to issue our paper, our new organ is going up, and we hope next Sabbath or very
soon its tones will assist in the worship of
the sanctuary. We feel under very great
obligations to all who have rendered such
generous aid in its purchase, and in our
next issue we shall report the sources from
which aid has been derived. We would
now acknowledge an additional donation of
the freight on the organ, per Ceylon, from
C. Brewer, Esq., of Boston.

overlook the fact that it is 1,800 years of

which have produced the result we now see.
Instead of comparing sixty or seventy years
of modern missionary labor with the result
of 1,800 years, if we would be fair and
reasonable, we should compare them with
sixty or seventy years out of the 1,800, during which the Church was engaged in the

Old Testament Scriptures.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The Scriptures are not a lot of books
thrown together without regard to order.
There is a consecutive arrangement of them
all through. Beginning with the scene of
an earthly Paradise, the Scriptures clpse
with the scene of a heavenly Paradise. Beginning with the tree of life, which was forfeited, it closes with a tree of life which
shall be ours eternally. Beginning with
man under probation, it ends with man in
absolute and unconditioned grace. Beginning with an earthly marriage, it closes with
the glorious scene of a heavenly marriage;
and all throughout, from first to last, there is
a regular gradation and development, in
Genesis we find the story of God's trial of
man in various conditions always resulting
in failure—failure in Paradise, failure when
men were without law, failure when they
were under law, failure under the patriarchal
system, winding up with the terrible bondage of the children of Israel in Egypt. The
second book gives us the story of man's redemption. We have sometimes sought to
take the redemption without placing the Red
Sea between us and the world we have left.
In the third book we find God's provision in
our condition of infirmity and failure in having continual access to Himself. In the
fourth book we have the people of God being brought forward into the glorious land
of their inheritance, and trusting Jehovah,
whose wonderful hand and power they bad
just experienced in being turned back into
the wilderness for forty years. In Deuteronomy we have the second giving of the
law, that deeper and more searching examination of our hearts in the light of the will
of God which always precedes the more
definite entrance on a life of full obedience
and communion, in Joshua we have the
story of their crossing Jordan, beginning
with the words, "Up, sanctify yourselves;
for to-morrow the Lord will do wonders
among you." I believe that is the word for
our day here, that God is coming to do wonders throughout his Church, such as before
we have scarcely dared to hope for. The
story of Joshua is one of almost unbroken
victory, and at the close of the book he says,
know how, in all your hearts and all
" Yousouls,
your
every promise God has made to
you has been yours." Joshua died ; and
when those who had known him, and the
elders which had crossed the Jordan had all
died, then came a scene of failure ; but our
Joshua, our Jesus, never dies. We may
have a life of victory even unto the end.
There comes the story of the failure, but not
as an example. God save us from taking
the failures his book has recorded as our example instead of our warning ! It is a very
serious danger to Christians. And then He
leads us on every here and there in the Bible, through fine vistas, such as in the Book
of Ruth, in the Song of Songs, in Hosea,
and elsewhere, especially in the great song
of love which has its consummation at the
end of the Bible in the marriage of the
Lamb. Then we have the diary of Christ
in the Psalms, and the heart of Christ unveiled to us. Then come the three books of
Solomon—first the avoidance of evil, then
that wisdom is better, and then the Song of
Songs. There is a Sabbath of sabbaths, and
there is a song of the consummated union of
our hearts with our Lord and Saviour.
Then come the prophecies of the coming of
our Lord, with God's terrible denunciations
of sin, and then for several hundred years
the book of revelation is sealed.

another is executed having the sparkling waters in the
foreground, and all else thrown in the background, each presenting a picture of the
same landscape; and to have a vivid idea
of it we should have all four. The Holy
Spirit has given us through four different
mediums the story of our Lord's life. Who
were the writers? The first was an officer
of the Roman Government; the second was
a servant; the third was a physician; the
fourth was a man of philosophic character
and loving temperament The first naturally
gives the character of our Lord Jesus Christ
as King, and his pedigree is traced from
King David as a king descended from a
king. The seqgpd of these biographies is
written by the servant John Mark, who
gives no pedigree of our Lord, but commences with a vivid picture and resume of
his miracles and works The third delineates the picture of our Lord os the Man
Christ Jesus, and there we find the tender
picture of the prodigal son. In the fourth
we find the pedigree of Christ traced all
the way back to the head of the human
race, Adam. It says, "In the beginning
was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God." It at once
commences with Christ's divinity. 1 could
trace these things more fully, but the
purpose of this meeting does not admit
of it.

The Four Gospels.
BY R. PEARSALL SMITH.
The portion of the Bible I would immediately call your attention to is the four
Gospels, which are the four narratives of
our Lord's life. If you want a very vivid
picture for a photograph, you take a stereoscope, and, looking with two eyes from two
standpoints, the figure is projected into likelike distinctness; and so our God has given
us four lives of our Lord Jesus Christ, each
distinct, each portraying especially one side
of his character. When 1 was young, I

In these days, when postal treaties are being re-adjusted and settled, we do hope the
proper officials will remedy one evil connected with our present postal law. It refers to
newspapers, requiring a prepayment of two
cents on papers sent to the United States,
and four cents to Europe. This law is most
inconvenient and absurd. Suppose a person
in the United States would send a newspaper hither, he is not required to hunt up a
two cent Hawaiian postage stamp; now why
should the good people of the Hawaiian Islands be required to prepay not only two
cents Hawaiian, but two cents American.
This matter requires looking into. Ought

NEPTEMBKR I. IBTft.
The New Sailors' Shipping Laws of U. S.
The endless troubles and disputes under
the old system are well known. At the end
of tl»e year 1874, Capt. C. C. Duncan, U. S.
Shipping Commissioner, for the port of New
York, is able to make a most satisfactory
Report, from which we quote as follows :
There have been shipped at this office
during the year just closed 26,636 seamen,
of which 5,374 have been rcshipments, and
for these latter no fees have been charged to
vessel or seamen. 15,206 were shipped
without advance. In the time period 27,-576 were paid off. 81,653,186 08 have
been paid into seamen's own hands, while
they were sober, for wages aue and accruing, and no complaint touching the law or
its workings has ever reached the Commissioner from any such seamen.
A large and growing number of disputes
between masters and seamen have been satisfactorily settled and many vexatious and
expensive law suits avoided.
Wages of deceased seamen, amounting to
$3,333 58, have been collected and paid into
court, a large part of which has gone thence
to heirs and administrators.
The entire amount of fees received during
the year is 856,169 00, and of expenses,
including a balance of $2,581 33 due on
last year's account, $56,974 57.
There has been no case of " shanghacing,' mutiny, riot or bloodshed on shipboard,
nor one complaint by any seaman of injustice or mistake in settlement of wages or in
the payment of advance notes, among the
men snipped and paid off under the Shipping Act in the port of New York, during
the year 1874.
How
strange, oh
now
strange,
that men
10 desire life and desire to enjoy the good
ings of life, desire to enjoy the society of
their families and friends, can ruin their
prospects for time and eternity by the use of
intoxicating liquors. We do not wonder
that men of low and vicious habits, corrupt
and debased minds, plunge into intemperance ; but how men of education, family,
and standing in society can drink from the
drunkard's cup,—this seems passing strange.
But more than all, how unaccountable that
women can indulge in " drinking customs."
Tell it not in Gath !
.
A Fair Chance for the Women.
At last a practical opportunity is to be afforded
for deciding tbe much vexed question of the capacity of women fur the higher education. Tbe discussion of tbis questiou bas raged for years with
no abatement of zeal or vehemence on either side,
and yet no result bas been arrived at. Dr. Clarke
and others have argued with learned ponderosity
to prove tbat " there is sex in mind
aud that
women cannot go through with tbe bigber academic course of study pursued by our young
men without permanent injury to tbeir health.
I'rolessur Seeley and numerous other learned gentlemen belonging to the school of John Stuart Mill
have replied with an air of triumphant scora to
these ungallant heresies. Botb sides make such a
formidable parade ot logic and learning ; both are
80 confident, so perfectly sell-satisfied, so supercilious toward their opponents, tbat plain people
dipping into tbe controversy find themselves hopelessly bewildered and at a loss with which party to
take sides. There is a great deal of homely wisdom in the old adage about tbe proof ol tbe
pudding.'' Many a dispute which, if left to mere
argument, would have gone on forever, bas been
settled by the irrefragable test ol an easy and
simple experiment. Thanks to the munificence of
Miss Smith, the founder of the Woman's College
at Northampton, Massachusetts. Ibere is now a
prospect of bringing tbe question of sex in
mind" to tbe test of actual experiment. The
College bas just been formally opened. Tbe
President on tbat occasion claimed in bis opening
address that women's capaoitiea for tbe higher
education are equal to those of men. As to tbe
talk about the strain upon the health of girls
wbo enter upon a severe course of study, bo said
that the strain of study wus not half so severe
as Ihe strain of fashionable dissipation, late hours,
reckless eating, etc. We bare already a number
of so-called female colleges in the United States ;
but tbe education provided by them is not really
academic. Few of them arc higher in grade than
a good preparatory school. Some publish pretentious prospectuses, setting forth a formidable curriculum ol studies, most of wbich are either never
taken up or only glanced at so as to leave no
durable impression. Tbe malign genius of brain
pervades these unwholesome instutfons. Nothing
is taught deliberately, patiently and thoroughly.
Text-books are burried through and thrown aside,
leaving no solid residuum of knowledge, no valuable intellectual discipline, nothing tbat becomes
a part of tbe permanent furniture of tbe mind.
We inter from tbe President's address tbat tbe
Smith College at Northampton is to be a very
different sort of institution, and tbat its practical
workings may help to put an end to tbe controversy in regard to sex in mind."

The rate at which competition has been overtaking

of the United Suites, where tbe production of iron
has been quadrupled within the last twenty yesrs."

THE FRIEND.
SEPTEMBER,
congratulated on that account. Would
that he were here to-dny to join in our congratulations upon the past, the present, and
in our hearty good wishes for the future.
I rejoice that in the sunset of life you are
blessed with the presence and tender love
and kind offices of daughter and granddaughter, and with the sympathy, and prayers, and attentions of related families; but,
above all, that you have our loving regard
and daily presence and care of an Almighty
Saviour, in view of whom you may confidently and gladly say, " Though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death, I
will fear no evil, for Thou art with me :
Thy rod and Thy staff, they comfort me
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
all the days of my life; and I will dwell in
the honor of the Lord forever."
In being able to say this, through faith in
your Kedeemer, you are to be congratulated
on this joyful day, though it should prove
the last of the kind on earth, the great
event of passing comfortably the remaining
part of your journey, is to look, not at the

rarely convened in Honolulu. There was
beautiful mingling of youth and age. Mr.

occasion by his father, the Key. D. Dole.

ure, so far as Hawaiians are concerned. The
Privy Council has authorized the Hawaiian
Commissioners to draw 84,000 for this
purpose, and appointed a committee to
expend that money. Unless, however, the
community vigorously sustain this committee, but little can be expected. We fully
believe that if the proper steps are now
taken there need be no failure ; but now is
the time to plan and to work.
In referring to the published Programme
of the 17. S. Commission in Philadelphia,
we discover that a space amounting to 3888
feet has been set apart for the " Sandwich
Islands." This space is Sandwiched between Liberia and Hay ti, now unless we
bestir ourselves we shall be entirely overshadowed by the Liberians and Haytians. If
awake we can make a good show. As wo
huve seen no programme of what (he Hnwmiuiis can do, we would suggest as follows:
I—Specimens of Sugar from all Plantations.
2—Specimens of Coffee.
3—Specimens of Rice.
4—Specimens of Woods.
s—Specimens of Ferns.
6—Specimens of Books in Hawaiian.
7—Specimens of Newspapers in the English and Hawaiian languages.
B—Specimens of Lava from the Volcano.
9—A large Map of the Islands.
fO—Specimens of Photographic Scenery.
11—Specimens of Coral from the Reef.
12—Specimens of Native Houses.
13—Specimens of Hawaiian Ranchero
Saddles and Lasso.
14— Specimens of Tapas and Calabashes.
We do not propose this as a complete outline of what can be accomplished, because
there are wiser heads than ours, but we do
desire to see something done, and that immediately. If necessary, let the committee
instantly convene a meeting of Hawaiians
and foreigners to aid them in this national
undertaking. We have obtained a Treaty
of Reciprocity, now unless we make a respectable sbow at the U. S. Centennial, it
will be said that the Hawaiian Kingdom
after all is not much of an affair, nothing
more than what a California editor once described it, a watermelon patch in the broad
Pacific, or what the Hon. Edward Everett
once called, a pin-head Kingdom. Now
we hold a very different opinion, and we
shall be most sadly disappointed if something is not done, and that immediately to
promote this noble enterprise. It is for the
honor of the nation, the King, the cause of
missions, the progress of knowledge, and
the advancement of science and civilization
that we look in carrying out this undertaking. More anon.

Seen Through Tears.
Io pious books I Bought a way
To find a Saviour's Love;
But farther still my feet did stray
From God's straight road above.
While loat and worn I made my quest,
I saw a melting flood;
A weeping sool that eager prest.
And by the Master stood.
—
Down in tbe dust, her bumble soul.
In grief and tears did lie
And o'er His feet the love drops roll.
Her drooping hair doth dry.
:
Then comfort spake the heart touched Lord,
Aa oil aud tear* were poured;
And sweetly apoke the pardoning word,
Thia poor dear soul implored.
Now like a eryatal lena for me
This fount of love grief flows;
I clearly now a Saviour see.
And in his peace repose.
No more I aeek in books to read,
When from my God I stray;
For Love no lexicon doth need
To find it* Heavenly way.
The Saviour and the Sinner.
Some of the most touching scene* in our
Saviour's life relate to women. One of
those scenes, if nothing else remained, is
enough to bind the world's heart to him
forever. The occasion was one which
brought out the characteristics of the interlocutors very sharply. A Pharisee had
asked Christ to break bread with him, and
" a woman in the city, which was a sinner,
when she knew that Jesus sat at meat in
the Pharisee's house, brought an alabaster
box of ointment "—probably all she had in
the world—"and stood at hi* feet behind
him, weeping, and began to wash his feet
with tears, and did wipe them with the
hairs of her head, and kissed his feet, and
anointed them with the ointment,"—so near
being an angel was this poor sinning sister !
Never was modesty so modest,—stood at
his feet,— stood behind him,—stood behind
him weeping : only God can interpret the
full meaning of such tears. Tbe cold-eyed
Pharisee saw nothing in her but a " sinner;"
Christ saw a woman, flesh and blood of his
owner mother, and his great gentle heart
was shaken with unutterable pity. The
Pharisee saw his opportunity; like all little
natures, he knew more of logic than of
philanthropy, and instantly he set up this
argument: " This man, if he were a prophet,
would have known who and what manner
of woman this is that toucheth him, for she
is a sinner." Men are often the victims of
their own
80
PAsYCMochoiearutnn'gf onolulu.
logic.—always, indeed, when tance. Who can measure that "wore"?
Sin is thus made to have its compensations.
The twice-born man shall be a double joy
in his Father's house. Sin shall not be all
loss. Even for sin's sake, heaven shall be
filled with a sweeter and gladder hallelujah.
Ecce Dens.
logic leads away from love. The eye that
saw the " woman " under the " sinner," saw
the sneering sceptic under the observing but
silent host. That eye read the Pharisee
"Simon." said
through and through.
Jesus, " I have somewhat to say unto thee.
There was a certain creditor which had two
