cull from the Missionary News of Yokohama the following statement by a veteran missionary:
"The single fact that for the month of
March 1900, according to the records
published by the Police Department of
Xiigata, for the city of Niigata alone,
procurers from Tokyo bought of their
parents forty-three girls to become prostitutes, and twenty-four to become sing-
ing girls, for which sixty-seven girls the
price of yen 8,059.50 was paid, and the
go-betweens received yen 775.15 —this
single fact tells a well-nigh incredible
tale of debauched moral ideals. In the
families of the poor, girl babies are more
welcome than boys, because they can be
sold at such high rates. It should be
added that Xiigata has an unenviable
reputation throughout Japan for its low
moral standards and practice, but this
does not argue much for the moral condition and reputation of the remainder of
the province. The above statement for
March must not be taken as an average
for all the months. March and October
are said to be the months for maximum
sales of 'female slaves,' those during the
rest of the year being relatively slight."
It certainly behooves us here to grip
the great tribe of Japanese procurers and
pimps in a crushing grasp, so that they
shall not reorganize and intensify the
ancient impurity of Hawaii's old heathen
conditions. Buddhism succumbs to the
old Pagan foulness; Christianity batters
it down and sweeps it away.
Old Memories of Kailua.
BY S. E. BISHOP.
Very prominent in that old mission
life were our annual visits to Honolulu in
attendance upon what was called the
"General Meeting." That was an annual
assembling at the capital of all the missionary families, occupying from four to
six weeks. The hospitality of the missionaries residing at Honolulu was severely
taxed in entertaining their rural associates. Many of the latter families secured native cottages and kept house in
them. < )ur experiences at these times
were varied and noteworthy. Especially
so were the voyages to Honolulu and return. In these days of rapid transit from
port to port in large and comfortable
steamers, no idea can be gained of the
wretched miseries of those early and protracted voyages in small schooners. As
a child's experiences I recall them as
among the severest physical sufferings of

have been much worse to the lady missionaries.
As the time of General Meeting approached, Mr. Chamberlain would charter such coasting vessels as were available to convey the missionaries from the
different ports. Nearly all those vessels
were small, varying from thirty to fiftytons, schooners or brigs. They were
mostly owned by the king or chiefs, and
commanded by white or native skippers
and mates. They were usually in very
filthy condition, swarming with cockroaches, and reeking of bilgewater. We
white passengers generally occupied the
decks, on which our mattresses were
spread, but had to dispute our scant space
with a swarming crowd of natives, with
their calabashes and dogs. The cabins
were extremely narrow, and intolerable
for stench. I have made a two-days' passage on one of the larger of these vessels
when the crowd of sitting natives was so
dense that the sailors could pass along
the ship only by walking on the gunwales
of the bulwarks. And many of these
people were constantly smoking the very
coarse tobacco of their own raising.
Added to these discomforts was the
usually violent seasickness which the former aggravated. Sometimes the winds
would favor, and the passage be comparatively short, only two or three days.
Usually there would be calms and adverse winds, and our miseries would be
protracted for a week, more or less. The
native skippers would be indifferent to
making progress, and the helmsman
would fall asleep at his tiller, so
that the morning would find us farther
from our destination than the night before. In those days it was never supposed that a vessel could beat up the
Molokai channel to' Lahaina. That passage was always made around Lanai, occupying an average of three days. A
good part of two days and nights would
be spent in getting past the great bluff at
the southwest point of Lanai. That darkbluff is a very familiar and unpleasant
memory of mv boyhood.
Our vessel
would lose the light sea-breeze after, perhaps sighting Lahaina, when the prevailing current would gently sweep us
back under the frowning bluff, to linger
out another twenty-four hours. It was
tiresome, with a broiling sun roasting us
on the unsheltered deck, where we lay
faint with nausea.
Once I remember a drenching rain
coming suddenly upon us, when all the
passengers hastily tumbled down into the
noisome cabin. The floor-space of this

were filled by the adults, and we children

THE
.
FRIEND..
probably in 1834, 1 think that we did not
call at Lahaina, but passed outside of
Kahoolawe on to Kailua. Generally, there
was another delay in working up to Kailua, with a strong adverse current
thwarting us between the light landbreeze of night, and sea-breeze of day.
The meetings were in May, so that we
generally escaped all violent winds, and
seldom shipped a sea. But the swell was
commonly high, and the motion of the
little craft most uneasy.
I remember at one embarkation at Kailua observing the p;reat strength shown
by Mr. Thurston as he tossed mattresses
up from the boat to the deck. These
fathers with their sick wives and children, had no time to indulge themselves in
feeling ill. Among our native passengers
on one occasion was a little child of high
rank, attended by a comely maid of perhaps thirteen. The child ordered a drink
of water which the maid brought in the
slender tin cylinder used to dip the water
through the bungbole of the cask. The
child imperiously resented such a container. The maid then distended her own
cheeks with the water, and applying her
lips to the child s mouth, transferred the
contents to the latter. This was received
with entire satisfaction. Doubtless, her
little highness was used to drink in no
other way, when so luxurious a beaker
was available.
I do not think that the natives suffered
from seasickness like the whites. Probably their habit of frequently going out
in canoes, and perhaps their daily tossing
on the waves in bathing, made then insensible to the unrelenting swing of the
vessel. They seemed to enjoy themselves
on the crowded deck, chatting, eating and
smoking their horrible tobacco. To us
the odors were distressing. To me, especially, the smell of tar became so identified with nausea and bilgewater, that in
sitting in the Bethel under Chaplain
Dicll's preaching, the savor of tar from
the neighboring shipyard would always
produce nausea. Only a long voyage
around Cape 1 lorn weaned me of that
peculiar aversion to tar, and made its
odor not unwelcome, F.ut bilgewater I
never came to like, especially that of a
sugar-carrier.
We took some interest in the land
scenery of the voyage, especially in the
easier descent towards Honolulu, with
and not against the trades. On one night
when well outside of Kailua, we were
awakened to observe a strong red light
over the summit of Manna Loa, a reflection on the sky from some glowing lake
or fountain in Mokuaweowco. Tn crossing Hawaii channel, the broken chasms
of lofty Haleakala seemed wonderful in
contrast with our smooth dome of Hualalai. Once we swept rapidly past little
black Molokini, and soon raised the

along West Maui, landing quickly at Lahaina with its rich groves of breadfruit
and cocoanuts. Lahaina always brought
us warm hospitality from the family of
Rev. \\ Richards, who was fellow passenger with my father around Cape
Horn in 1823. Many things combined

grapevines hanging around the substan-
tial stone mission house. These would be
loaded with ripe fruit. Maternal prohibitions failed to keep our craving fingers
from the rich clusters.
Bat the most interesting thing at that
house were some of its inmates. There
were three cheerful boys of the age of
myself and Asa Thurston, named Wil-
liam, Charles and James, with whom we
bail glorious times. There was one memorable night when we five boys were all
in one bed. and talked to a late hour. It
was there that I was introduced to my
first absorbing knowledge of real juvenile
stories, in the youths' Companion of
sixty-five years ago. I still take that paper, and quarrel with my granddaughters
for the first reading of it. 'The seven
children of that delightful Richards'
bouse long ago joined their parents in
the better land, except the oldest daughter, now residing in a I loston suburb.
William died young as a missionary in
China. Father Richards was a very influential missionary, and left a strong
mark upon the political and educational
systems of Hawaii before bis premature
death in 1847. lie built the first stone
mission house in the Islands, a very commodious one. in which all my children
were afterwards born.
Mr. Richards also, in conjunction with
the notable Governor lloapili, built the
first stone Church in the Islands in 1831.
It was a very substantial and commodious structure, which I remember attending before the rough masonry had received any coat of plaster. 'The new galleries were crowded with people. We
walked to church through the cocoanut
grove north of the edifice. The trees
were then young, and I wondered at the
nearness of the great fronds and the
clusters of nuts to the ground, being used
only to the more ancient and lofty trees
of Kailua. 'Those lloapili trees, in their
turn, are now aged. As we decorously
walked, the three Richards boys solemnly
marched abreast in front of us. There
were then no other missionaries in Lahaina, except Miss ()gden, a nobly good
woman, whose
motherly aid greatly sup-
ported the rather feeble Mrs. Richards.
Mr. Spalding and Dr. Chapin came there
in 1832, a little later. Probably Rev.
Lorrin Andrews had just started the
Scminarv at Lahainaluna, of which I had
charge forty years later.
�We heard much of Hoapili-wahine, or
Kalakua, but 1 do not remember to have
seen her. She was of royal birth, and a
wife of Kamehameba. to whom she bore
Kinau, the mother of Kaniehameha IV
and Kaniehameha Y. She was a firm
and devoted Christian, and earnestly
sought to suppress the moral disorders
of that seaport. She and Mr. Richards
leaned much Upon each other. I have
beard that on one occasion the missionary
sought to relieve the old queen by bleeding, but was unable to find the vein in the
mass of fat enclosing it. ()n another occasion, he asked her why she did not
plant cocoanuti upon an unoccupied tract
at the north end of the town. She wanted to know of what use they would ever
be to her at her age. "Hut where will
be the nius of your grandson, Lot?"
(Kaniehameha V). 'The old lady instantly dispatsbed her schooner to Puna
for a cargo of the nuts, which became
the immense grove now bounding Lahaina on the north.
We usually, after a day or two in hospitable Lahaina, made the remaining run
to Honolulu in a night, or little more,
with the fresh trades behind us. This
town was not then an attractive place.
By May or June there was much heat
and dust, and no verdure in sight. The
small mission herd hail thoroughly depastured the plain which extended unbroken by house or tree to l'unahou,

Chamberlain's great oxen stalked slowly
about with skinny ribs and projecting
hip bones. There are still two buildings
standing of that old mission colony. One
is the ancient Bingham home, which was
transported around the Horn in 1821.
The other is the Stone Chamberlain

seem likely to continue in that inviting
field. Honolulu was a hard-looking old
camp in those days. A drawing ot it 111
the early thirties, afterwards engraved at
Lahainaluna, is to be seen in the Honolulu Reading Room. It gives some notion of the facts. Most ot the dwellings
were native thatched cottages, chiefly
pili-grass. They were irregularly scattered in enclosures of rotten adobe walls.
( )ne main street, now King street, of good
width, extended from the present corners of South and Bethel streets. Quite
a lane followed the course of Merchant
street. Tort and Xuuanu streets had no
existence. There was a lane up Punchbowl to Beretania, and along Beretania
to Union. A number of other narrow
lanes ran here and there. There were
irregular fragments of street near the
waterfront from Port to Xuuanu, where
were three or four stores of traders,
mostly stone or adobe structures of one
story.
There were scarcely any trees in the
town. A few ban trees were in some
premises. About 1836, Pride of India
appeared. Occasionally cocoanuts and
pandanus were seen. The only drinking
water was drawn from the shallow wells
dug through the coral to tide level. Being slightly brackish, it was distasteful
to us, who were used to mountain water.
Probably it was rather insanitary. The
mission doorvards were nearly devoid of
vegetation, the manienie, or Bermuda
grass, not having become common. Nothing could be less attractive than the general aspect of the town, of which its present inhabitants can form little idea. ()f
foreign-built houses there were few in
1832, when my definite memory begins.
The King lived chiefly at Lahaina, but
had a house on the Tort-wall here, and
perhaps near the present Capitol. Xear
the south corner of that enclosure was a
fairly good stone house occupied by Auhea, or Kekauluohi. the mother of the
late King Lunalilo. A dwelling-house of
some importance was that of the liritish
Consul, Richard Charlton, later occupied
by his successor, General Miller, which
stood there for seventy years, adjacent to
windows, and surrounded by the same
coral walls. 'The garret of this was the
"Depository," where were a variety of
goods for the needs of the missionaries.
Mr. Chamberlain was an extremely busy
and rather precise person, yet cordial and
agreeable, and admirably fitted to his position. Having often to arbitrate between
contending claims of the sisters to the
scanty supplies of necessary goods, he encountered some grumbling, but bore it the
patiently, although sometimes thought to
lie rather arbitrary. I recall one complaint that he allowed two barrels of llotir
a year to each of the Honolulu families,
while the rest of us got only one. It
seemed on the whole, however, that he
was justified by the fact that the former
households had to entertain much more
company. At one house, the printer
Shepard's, where we took tea, when we
got home it was remarked as a waste of
precious flour, that hot short-cake was
the chief food served. I have had a weakness for that viand ever since.
ex-queen's premises.
'This Charlton was a conspicuous person, a beefy, red-faced Britisher, loud
and aggressive. He made himself much
feared and hated by nearly all classes of
the population. His actions are largely
set forth in the histories of Bingham and
Jarves. I well remember him. having repeatedly gone with my mother in her
calls upon Mrs. Charlton and her sister,
Mrs. Taylor, who were very estimable
English ladies. In the presence of the
ladies Mr. Charlton laid aside his violent
deportment, and aggressive language. He
was notorious as a reckless falsifier of

truth. He was a man of loose life, and
a free drinker. There was probably no
white man here more obnoxious to the
missionaries or to the chiefs, and few
persons more disreputable in public and
private life. Charlton was bete noir to
all decent or quiet people in Honolulu.
Cp to 1838 there was only one church
edifice in Honolulu, except the Seamen's
Bethel, which was built in 1834 or 1835.
The immense thatched native church was
conspicuous at Kawaiahao, standing seaward of the present building, and at
right angles to it. It was certainly very
large. 1 have some very definite memoires of church attendance there, sitting
centrally near the high pulpit, where
Father Bingham presided in much dignity. He was animated and impressive in
address, and manifestly of weightiest
authority with his congregation. But his
sermons were much protracted, and many
of the natives fell asleep. The audiences
were large, and nearly filled the great
length of tlie building. The pulpit was
in the center of the Waikiki side. Near
by were two or three old-fashioned high
pews, occupied by royal chiefs, and a
few settees in front. The body of the
people sat on mats on the ground.
\\ ell in front was quite a company of
singers, led by Doctor and Mrs. Judd,
among whom were several large and
fleshy women. I remember thinking that
their voices were inharmonious, and
much given to improper slurring of the
notes.
The people were dressed much
like those already described at Kailua,
and with little if any more array of clothing. I have less recollection of individual chiefs there than of those at Kailua.
I recall having once been conducted to
the famous Regent Kaahumanu, at her
bouse. She was sitting in a large chair
on a dais, probably a State occasion, and
seemed like a great personage. Probably not many weeks later, I well remember seeing her on her deathbed in Manoa
Valley. It was night. She lay in a dying state on a high pile of mats, in a
thatched house, with many people around
her. She passed away that evening,
which the record gives as June 5, 1832.
I was then five years old, and retain a
number of particulars vividly stamped on
memory. < me of these was in the Bingham's parlor, at a reception of the "new
missionaries," just arrived by the Ay rick, from Boston. Among those young
recruits, I especially recall the marked
features of the Rev. W. P. Alexander,
who was sitting on the Ewa side of the
inner door of the parlor. Among the
newcomers were the Lymans, Armstrongs, Hitchcocks, Forbeses, Emersons, and others, since prominent in Hawaiian annals. The long years have
lapsed, and their grandchildren have

little ones, a fourth generation, around

The earliest memory whose date I can
give is that of a visit with my father to
the United States sloop riiucnncs, in
November, 1829, when I was two and a
half years old. Rev. Charles Stewart
was the ship's chaplain. The memory is
that of a fearful being at the door of the

Messrs. Stewart, Bishop and Captain
Finch, seated near a large round table,
laughingly soothing the terrified child.

The radical defect of Buddhism as compared to Christianity is that it is devoid
of knowledge of a personal God, whom
the devout soul may habitually worship
and commune wfth as bather. Lord, Creator, Supporter, Redeemer, One who is
Almighty, I'tire, Loving, Righteous and
altogether perfect, One who imparts
himself to the worshipping soul, uplifting, illumining, strengthening, pardoning, healing. Such a God and such relations to him are assured by the Bible
and by Christian experience. Tar away
from all such light, Buddhism lies in
saddest darkness.

Honolulu has lately had a visit from
Col. E. S. Olcott, who gave a few talks
here to those interested in Theosophy,
and also lectured to the Japanese Buddhists in their temple. Col. Olcott and the
late Madame Blavatsky were closely associated as the founder's of the creed or
system known as Theosophy. It must
have been more than twenty years ago,
while Blavatsky and Olcott were notably
figuring in India as Thaumaturgists or
workers of wonders, much after the
manner of Spiritists in America, that circumstantial accounts were published, not
now in our possession, of the detection
and exposure of the precious couple in
certain acts of fraud in their "materializing" of spirits. We do not distinctly remember the details. But the exposure
was thorough and complete, made in
public by individuals of the highest character. The facts were at the time generally accepted, and apparently crushing
to the pair of imposters. But fraud,
crushed to earth, commonly rises again.
as in the case of Joseph Smith.
In his various talks here, Olcott told
how he had endeared himself to the Hindoos by the revival of Buddhism which
he had brought about, and how he had
reconciled, by his Buddhist catechism,
the two warring divisions of Buddhism
in Japan and India. He vigorously dissuaded Buddhists here from regarding
or accepting Christianity, which was far
inferior in its teachings. He "had been
a professed Buddhist for 27 years." He

A Prayer for Edward VII.
The following was the special prayer.
composed and offered by the Bishop of
Honolulu, in behalf of the new Sovereign of Great Britain. It may be though'
somewhat peculiar, as promulgated by
[March, 1901.
the official chief of the Episcopal Church
in this democratic American Territory:
"Almighty Cod, Who rulest over all
the kingdoms of the world, and disposest
of them according to Thy good pleasure; we yield Thee unfeigned thanks,
lor that 'I boil art pleased to place Thy
servant Edward VII upon the Throne of
Great Britain. Let Thy wisdom be bis
guide, and let Thine arm strengthen
him; let justice, truth, and holiness, let
peace and love, and all those virtues that
adorn the Christian Profession flourish
in his days; direct all his counsels and
endeavors to Thy glory, and the welfare
of his people; and give them grace to
obey him carefully and willingly for conscience sake; that neither sinful passions,
nor private interests, may disappoint his
cares for the public good; let him always
possess the heaits of his people, that they
may never be wanting in honor to his
Person, and dutiful submission to his
Authority; let his Reign be long and
prosperous, and crown him with irnmor
tality in the life to come; through Jesus
Christ our Lord Amen.
"Most gracious God, Who has set Thy
servant Edward upon the 'Throne of his
Ancestors, we most humbly beseech Thee
to protect him on the same from all the
dangers to which he may be exposed;
Hide him from the gathering together of
the froward, and from the insurrection
of wicked doers; Do thou weaken the
hands, blast the designs, and defeat the
enterprises of all bis enemies, that no secret conspiracies, nor open violences,
may disquiet his Reign ; but that, being
safely kept under the shadow of Thy
wing, and supported by Thy power, he
may triumph over all opposition; that so
the world may acknowledge 'Thee to be
bis defender and mighty deliverer in all
difficulties and adversities; through Jesus
Christ our Lord." Amen.
Anti-Saloon League.
Such a League is being organized in
Honolulu as a result of the labors during
the past month of the Rev. Dr. E. S.
Chapman, the Secretary of the Anti-Saloon League of California. Dr. C. came
here for a rest from arduous labors in his
own State, but was persuaded by outMinisterial Union to do some work here.
Resides many other addresses, during
the third week in February he held a series of evening meetings in Central
Union Church, which were attended by
large audiences. Dr. Chapman is a vigorous, genial, magnetic speaker, of great
vigor of statement and cogent logic, and
a large element of humor and sparkle,

my. The contrast is extremely marked
of the business prosperity in "dry" towns
with the suffering conditions of adjacent
towns still cursed by free liquor,
It is to be hoped and expected that our
League will now go on to labor with
energy and patience in what must be a
severe war, but is sure to win the victory
in good time. The Liquor Traffic is
strongly entrenched in Hawaii, and cannot be dislodged without long effort and
education of the people. We have had
for half a century the "High License"
system, confining sales to a limited number of saloons. It has been intimated that
the present Legislature may enact a
"Government Dispensary"
system
with
Local Option appended. If this should
be done, it would be an immense improvement upon the present Open sa-
loons.
It is a long entertained opinion with
us that prohibition of the traffic in intoxicants cannot be enforced without the
earnest support and co-operation of the
population of the section regulated. Local Option, or a vote of such population
to prohibit, will secure enforcement of
the law.
Aside from such prohibition, the evils
of the traffic can be immensely mitigated
by closing the tempting saloons and
Strictly confining the sales to unadorned
Government stores, where the beverage
is supplied in bottles to be drunk off
from the premises. 'This measure is
found to cut off two-thirds of the consumption. It also removes much of the
temptation to illicit liquor traffic, and to
the brewing of cheap and poisonous
"swipes."

Honolulu, Feb.
8th, 1901.
In submitting this semi-annual report,
we wish to take this means and opportunity of thanking all our generous and
kind hearted friends who have assisted
us in our financial difficulties.
The high duties imposed on Asiatic
food stuffs have led the merchants to
raise their prices and which has increased
our financial difficulties.
We wish also to thank Drs. lga Mori
and S. Kobayashi for their kindness in
having attended the sick children free of
charge.
\\ c have at present 36 beds for children and every one is occupied. ()n account of lack of room we are compelled,
much to our regret, to refuse the many
applicants.
There are three children who are being supported free of charge, while four
are paying half rates owing to the poverty of their parents.
We are informed by the teacher of the
Japanese day school that the first two or
three rows of each class are almost entirely occupied by the children of our
boarding school. We are thankful to
note the improved conduct and behavior
of the children in our care.
Some time ago during a prayer meeting, the children were told about the
Okayama Orphanage in Japan, the number of children, the suffering they often
go through on account of lack of funds
to purchase necessary food supplies and
etc. Prayers were offered for the 300 or
more orphans of the above orphange.
The children were greatly moved and
during the prayer meeting, a boy proposed that they all deny themselves of
their regular fruits or cakes given to
them three times a week, at least once a
week, and with the money thus saved, to
forward to the Okayama Orphanage.
This proposition was heartily and
readily agreed upon and was forthwith
carried into effect. A box called "The
friend of the Orphans" was made and
hung in a room. Since then the children
have continued to make self denials.
They are given cakes or fruits only twice
a week now and the balance of the money
is dropped in the "Orphans' Box" and at
the end of each month, the accumulated
sum is forwarded and donated to the
above orphanage. Prayer for the guidance anil help for our work and asking
for assistance and means to protect, giveshelter, anil guide many more children
from being led into (lark places and
under bad influences are daily offered
morning and evening by the children.

there had been no meeting appointed for

more Japanese in attendance.
We worked in Hana for ten days, a
growing interest being manifested as the
work went on, so that the last meeting
was the best of all. A goodly number Ot
people expressed a desire to lead a better
llie, and in a number of instances this
was expressed with great earnestness. In
view of this interest, it was thought best
to leave one of our number behind to
help the pastor, while the rest of us went
on to other places. Accordingly. Mr.
Henry K. Poepoe was left, and he worked at Hana while the others went to
Kaupo, Kipahulu and Xahiku. He visited from house to house and worked especially with those who had expressed a
purpose to lead a Christian life and with
those members of the church who had
been drawn off into other connections.

communion service had been appointed
for Feb. lOth to receive them, but. owing
to a very severe Kona storm which raged
on that day, they were not all able to get
out, so that the work in liana closed
with the baptism of twelve children and
tut- admission of thirteen new members
to the church. I had the pleasure of assisting at this service, having returned to
Hana from Xahiku for that purpose.
On Jan. 28th, leaving Mr. Poepoe behind at Hana, the rest of us started for
rupahulu and Kaupo. We went overland
on horses, which the people of Hana
kindly provided us with. We had not
intended to take the lantern with us, on
account of the difficulty of carrying it,
but the people of Kipahulu were so
anxious to see the pictures that they sent
a man with a pack horse over to Hana
to carry it and our baggage for us. I "11--der the circumstances, we could not. of

day we went on to Kaupo. ()n this trip

reached the next gulch the
water was
running down the path in a stream, making it more slippery and difficult to
travel. One of the young men rode his
horse serenely over the whole distance
without dismounting; the other one did
nearly as well. For myself, after 1 had
ridden through the first gulch 1 had more
confidence in my own ability to walk
down the path without slipping or falling than I had in that of the horse, so I
subsequently walked over the worst
places. We made the distance of eight
miles in four hours. It was a tedious
journey, but well worth making for once
at least.
We found the people much scattered
and most of them far from the church.
The church building was in good condition, having been recently repaired, but
the people have no permanent pastor. At
present they are being served temporarily by Mr. Inaina, a former student of
the North Pacific Missionary Institute.
We saw at once that it was not possible
to have evening meetings, SO appointed

cover the country nearly everywhere, up
high on the slopes of the hills, to where
quite a number of houses could be seen,
intending to visit from house to bouse in
the afternoon. We found, however, that
many of them were old and not able to
make the journey without great difricultv, so we asked permission to invite
them into one of the houses and hold a
meeting with them there. The permission was given, and about a dozen men
gathered in. A preaching service was
held, with reading of Scripture, singing
and prayer. The people showed a good
deal of reserve at first, but as the service
proceeded this melted away, and at the
close they were exceedingly cordial and
kind in their expressions. It turned out
that they were all Catholics but one, and
*
they afterwards told
one of the students
that they at first took us to be men out on
some political errand. The visit to Kaupo lasted from Tuesday afternoon till
Friday morning. It would be impossible
to say how much good resulted trom it.
An increasing confidence and friendliness on the part of the people seemed to
show that it was not in vain.
()n Friday morning we returned to
Kipahulu. The weather was fair and the
gulches dry, so that the trip was not so
difficult as the first. At Kipahulu we
were glad to welcome Mr. Richards, who
had been detained in Honolulu until this
time, and whose absence is always regretted for various reasons, especially as
be is our leader in music. While in Kipahulu before we bad made appointments for services for the three evenings
which were now to follow. The news of
these services had gone abroad, and the
people came in on horseback from the
surrounding country, and we had the
church well filled at each one. In addition to these, there was held on Sunday
tne regular morning service and a service in English in the afternoon for the
