The document is from the stores that sell liquor and is actually about the days cash transactions are prohibited. J.W. Land says I should sign my name.

Adams, Kuakini Fort Send me back a letter. �[Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] For Bingham Notes: 1. Adams Kuakini – John Adams Kiʻipalaokū Kuakini was an adviser of Kamehameha I and brother of Kamehameha's favorite wife, Kaʻahumanu. He became governor of Oʻahu and in his later years moved to Hawaiʻi Island. 2. Binaham – Rev. Hiram Bingham arrived with the first company of missionaries, serving as the first reverend at Kawaiahaʻo Church. 3. ka palapala o na hale kuailama - This reference to a petition or edict concerning the liquorselling establishments is unclear, as the letter is undated. 4. JW Land – The background of J.W. Land is unknown, but he appears to have talked with Kuakini concerning liquor sales prior to this letter to Bingham. 5. Papu – The Pāpū, or fort, mentioned in this letter might be the Honolulu Fort, where he resided as Commander in Chief, or could be the Kailua Fort in Kailua-Kona Hawaiʻi. Adams Kuakini moved to Hawaiʻi island during the mid-1830s and lived there until his death in Kailua-Kona in 1844. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Kulanui, Lahainaluna, Maui 19 1,838 Translation: [Page 1 of 6] �College, Lahainaluna Maui, June 18, 1838 Concerning the Globe 1 The globe is a thing that measures equally from a center point through its circumference. In geography of the globe is where the actual round form of the earth is shown. 2 There are two globes, one is a terrestrial globe and the other is a celestial globe. 3 On the terrestrial globe are shown the forms of lands, countries, seas and rivers, as they actually are on earth. 4 On the celestial globe is shown the position of the stars just as they are placed. 5 The earth's axis is something theorized to exist at the center of the earth, emerging on both its ends, and upon which the earth continually spins. 6 The poles of the earth are the ends of that axis that emerge at the two ends of the earth. Where the ends of this axis emerge, these are called the poles of the earth. 7 The brass meridian is the brass ring encircling the terrestrial globe, within which the globe spins. This brass circle is divided into 360 degrees. Those are the degrees of the earth's circumference. 8 The thin brass slip is used to measure the length and width between two places. 9 The hour circle is the brass circle fixed to the poles of the earth, indicating the times. 10 The wooden horizon is the circle separating things that are visible from things unseen. 11 The rational horizon for the globe is the wood that frames the globe [Text possibly lost in fold] 12 The ecliptic is the big circle going around the earth; it is the path on which the sun is believed to travel, also being the path upon which the earth revolves around the sun. It is called an orbit. It stands at an angle to the equator. 13 The ecliptic is divided into 12 equal parts; and each of these parts is 30-fold [Page 2 of 6] in degrees: These are called signs of the degrees. Problem 1 About finding the latitude of places Turn the globe to the place indicated and stop on the brass meridian. The degrees where it is positioned upon on the brass meridian at that spot equals the latitude of that place. Problem 2 About finding the longitude of places Find the stated place on the brass meridian. From there run the hand over the globe to stop at the equator. Where the brass intersects, there is written its �longitude. That is how both latitude and longitude of a place are found. If someone wants to find the distance from one place to another, he or she needs to search on top of it (the globe as indicated above) to do that. The roundness of a globe does not exactly match the actual earth on which we live. The globe discussed here is closer to a wooden sphere made by the hand of man, as are the contents etched upon the brass. It is something that shows the actual round shape of the earth and a compass with which the features of each land can be seen. On this, one can quickly find the latitudes, miles, and surveyor chains from here to all other places on earth and from those places to here. On the world map is shown the lay of the land, the placement of mountains, rivers, cities, ignorant and enlightened places, bad and good places. There is clarified the habitation of all peoples, the weak and the strong. [Page 3 of 6] 3 Some questions for students. Here is the globe [Drawing of a globe] The student shall stand on the west side of the globe and indicate the degrees of these places. What is the latitude of Boston? Of Washington? Of New York? Philadelphia? What is that of New Orleans? Mexico City, Mexico? What is the latitude of St. Petersburg, Russia in Europe? Of London, England? Of Constantinople? Of Paris, France? Of Valparaiso? Of Lima? Of Edinburgh? How many longitudinal degrees from London to here in Hawaii? (See the section for the thin brass slip. There the steps to find the distance from one place to another are clarified.) Section 8 What about the degrees of longitude marking this place? Search from Barcelona to Edinburgh on the Isle of Scotland. This will make students adept at finding the length and width of each place he or she wants to search for. This was translated from the Geography of W.C. Woodbridge, an educated expert in geography. Maybe at a later date this book will be published, however printing in the near future is uncertain. [Overlaid note on this page: Discussion Points] [*The portion below is not printed in Ke Kumu Hawaii] I have a short message for you, the K.H. I received the last issues of the K.H., papers 22 and 23 up to the newspaper of the 18th of June. Because of this I thought I might express my affection. Greetings to you and the place you are printed. I am here at Lahainaluna awaiting your arrival. I waited for you these last few months, for your arrival, and you did indeed make it here. �I read the contents printed in you, dear kinsman who tirelessly runs from Kauai to Hawaii. [Page 4 of 6] [Repeat of page 3. The two copies of page 3 each have different small sections that were overlaid by notes. They have been reconciled into one page above] [Overlaid note on this page] maopopo pons he Kalama [Page 5 of 6] 4 I saw all that was written in you, and the nature of each place. I heard all the happenings from Kauai to Hawaii and on Oahu, Maui and the four small islands. Because of that, I was thrilled at seeing the nature of each place, the right and wrong, the growth of good things and the diminishing of the bad. I wanted to give you nourishment and help to meet your needs. Therefore, I thought maybe I could assist you a bit at this time, as I have received six papers. You (K.H.) have seen my shortcomings in this endeavor, as I have already explained in my prior messages to you. Yet I read in the K.H. 22 as follows: "If you folks please, those wanting to give sustenance to the Kumu Hawaii, you should put in commas in the right places, and same for periods, colons, question marks, exclamation points, semicolons, and so forth right through all things required in handwriting." Because of this, I do not assume Tinker will edit and I no longer intend to write hastily or excitedly. Because of this message of yours, Printer, I was filled with compassion, as I know a little about this work, which is heavy work. If writing is not correct, then reading and comprehension will not be right at all. If the hand of the writer is not good, if the words and phrases are not correctly separated and if capital letters have not been placed correctly, the meaning will not be understood at all by the person reading. Like this: Ic rav eto ba cco, Se ndso metoba ccof orme. [I crave tobacco, send some tobacco for me.] In this sentence, it is apparent that the meaning of what is not written clearly cannot be read correctly. We see that all the words are carelessly written, indiscernible, and clumsy to read. For this reason, it is apparent that editing the messages of each individual is a burden. Because of this, I think all skilled people from Hawaii [Page 6 of 6] �5 to Kauai should write out their messages correctly if they wish for them to be printed in the K.H. This is also my message to you (K.H.): be quick in your duties; you should not be slow, for some of your burdens have been taken away. I really want the Kumu Hawaii to get to us here soon, but it does not reach us here quickly. It takes two, perhaps three months to reach us here. It is a long time for the K.H. to get to our place here (Lahainaluna). For this reason, if some of the papers (K.H.) are done being printed, then you should quickly load them when you find the right boat sailing here to Maui, for we crave it, and we want to get it in our hands quickly, and see what has happened everywhere and the things that Hawaii's people need, and the messages of God to all people under the sun. Do not be angry with me for the impropriety of this message. He who seeks meaning must seek it out, as that is what the Kumu Hawaii has directed. This is my message of support on behalf of your needs, but it is up to you. If you want to print and distribute it, print it indeed, if not it is of no consequence. For that is your decree: "If someone wants to help with my needs, then help. It is up to me whether to print it or not." This short message to you is done. Regards to you and your fellow workers in the printing house. From Kalama Lahainaluna College, Maui, June 19, 1838. Notes: 1.

The translation for all of letter 87 is found in that file.] Concerning a lack of thought Listen all of you students of this college. In searching for my message for you for Friday, it was not clear at all to me the appropriate message to give before the students and teachers. And due to lack of clarity and not having a good message to present, I therefore thought thus: [Page 2 of 3] What will I present to the teachers for the Friday speech? Should I just tell about the wind, something insignificant, which the teachers have forbidden? For that reason, I thought again that I should not give my message that Friday. When the right time comes, then I will give my message. But, fear of the teachers quickly came up in me, that they would be upset at me for not having a message. I quickly recalled the words Andrews told us, as follows: “If someone lacks a message and becomes lazy about this thing that benefits the school, he should immediately return to the place from which he came, since he has become sluggish in seeking out the assignment that this college gave him.["] For this reason, I sought over and over with great determination to find a message within myself, but could not find one. For this reason, I have great fear and doubt within me for lack of a message; whereas, the proper days afforded to me to look for and search out a message have passed. Here is the reason I have great fear: that Andrews would be upset and expel me from the school. And here is another reason I am afraid: the nearness of the time to present. I only have half (1/2) an hour left. For that reason, I am greatly afraid, and think I should not refuse the wishes of the teachers. For I have been given a mind to search for a message, hands to write, a mouth to recount thoughts, fine paper that words do not fall off of, good ink, and a good quill for writing down a message. Therefore, I understand that I have no right to refuse what the teachers have ordered me to seek, nor do I have any right to just sit there with no thought like a beast of the field. If I lack a thought, the beasts are better than I. For all that is necessary to do the job has been given to me, but not to the beasts. For that reason, if I should lack a message, my ignorance and foolishness is greater than [Page 3 of 3] that of the animals. Concerning this matter, I am truly ashamed to be before the eyes of the teachers and students. For that reason, I searched again, but found nothing. And when my writing on one page was finished, and I turned to the other side and when half of the page was filled, the school bell suddenly rang. And as I looked at this paper, and turned to the other side, I saw that there were many words and phrases I had written. So I thought to myself thus: it turns out I was not left lacking on your day, that of the teacher. �For that reason, my mind was made up that this would be the message I would present to both of you, teachers and students. From me, Kalama. College, Lahainaluna, Maui June 19, 1838. [Letter Cover at bottom of file] Kalama (?) Lahainaluna June 18, 1838 dup. of pp 283 8-59 Notes: 1. Kalama - S. P.

Lahainaluna June 18, 1838 dup. of pp. 2&3 8-59 Translation: [Page 1 of 3] A message of affection to the Hawaiian teachers. Greetings to you, teachers from Hawaii to Kauai. I have loving thoughts for all of you from our dwelling together for the time we spent together until you were all separated from here. I had a great desire to write individually to all of you, but I was unable. I was denied that by paper and a ship to carry the letters. For that reason, I thought to write in Ke Kumu Hawaii my affectionate thoughts to all of you, and it would express that to all of you dwelling all over Hawaii, from Hawaii to Kauai. Do not think that we, the people, here in Lahainaluna have died. No, here we are, your fellow laborers, still residing here. We have not received your letters and your messages in the K.H. I have seen only a few people in the K.H. Perhaps it is the same for you folks as it is for me. Lahainaluna is not much different at this time. The earth and soil are still there as well as the stones, plants, and stream-lined valleys. [Page 2 of 3] God has had great compassion on us here. He has provided to us everything necessary for our bodies. We have a well-supplied existence in this world, but it is of no benefit to our souls. That is something I have thought about concerning our existence. During the time we all resided here, our existence was the same. For that reason, my heart was taken aback as each one of us disappeared. For that reason, I thought to myself thus: If it is possible for each one to write to one another, and explain the nature of his residence, like the residence of the missionaries, perhaps we would not all become obscure. I think through letters is where we should frequently meet. Also, do not abide with actions that bear no fruit, but be watchful and earnest, making yourselves Lions, racing everywhere, striving in what you have gone to do. �You should all consider what is needed for our existence in the future, and what will keep the schools in these islands from falling away. You must carefully consider what will secure learning, and what would quickly end it, for we here do not clearly know what it is like to dwell with students and regional land managers. You all are the ones who know. You know if you are well-supplied or if you are in distress. Regards to all of you from Hawaii to Kauai, and to your wives and children. Honor the Lord and all of his words. Do not rely on others, but live like one ready for war, and may the God of our forefathers take care of us all. From your younger sibling.

Mai pai i keia mau ^hua olelo Translation: [Page 1 of 7] Lahainaluna August 4, 1838 Concerning the Sadducees and Pharisees I came across earlier in that year. �This name, a Sadducee, is just a riddle that I have solved. In the year of the Lord 1835, when coming down to Lahainalalo from Lahainaluna, I came upon some women heading up from the seaward area. They asked, “Have you come from the uplands?” I agreed. They said, “Do you know everything? Did you already graduate up there?” I was befuddled and chuckled, but did not laugh out loud. Another woman said, “Eh! Will your soul be saved?" Another said [Page 2 of letter, on left side of page 2 of 7 of PDF] with laughter, “There is no doubt their souls will be saved; our souls are the ones that will die in the fire.” Another woman said, “Your soul might be the one to die, but my soul will ascend with Kalama to heaven.” The skeptical woman said, “Hey! Your souls would only reach heaven to be laughed at." These things they said were not in anger, but with laughter. They were going up, I was coming down, listening to their banter until my auditory nerves could hear no more, which ended what I heard of this talk. [Page 3 of letter, continued on right side of page 2 of 7 of PDF] I descended, thinking carefully about the nature of their comments. When I thought about it, I realized some were Pharisees and some of them were Sadducees. The ones rejecting God’s offer of salvation of souls during man’s life in heaven are the ones I call Sadducees, because that is how Sadducees think. They deny, [saying there is] no soul, no God, no life of the soul in heaven, no death in the pit of fire, no day of judgment. They deny everything that is to come according what to the Holy Scriptures have said. Matthew 22:23 [Page 3 of 7] As follows.- "On that day, the Sadducees came to him, the ones who said there is no resurrection." Acts 23:6-8. “Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “O people, brothers, I too am a Pharisee, son of a Pharisee. I am being judged because I believe in the resurrection of the dead.” When he said this, a dispute broke out between the Pharisees and the Sadducees, and the assembly was divided. This was because the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, angels, nor spirits, but the Pharisees believe in these things. There are many places that explain [Page 4 of 7] the nature of these two, the nature of the Pharisee and the Sadducee. When I heard the words of those women, I knew some were Sadducees and others were Pharisees. Some of those women were Pharisees because they spoke just as Pharisees do. The Pharisees fulfill everything written in the holy scriptures, everything people say to them. They do what is right in prayer and offerings, but [Page 6 of letter, on left side of page 5 of 7 of PDF] take the houses of widows, and stop doing small wrongs while secretly doing great wrongs. That is how some people who quit tobacco are. They point to the great law of Jehova, quitting tobacco, and courageously quit. The great wrong is over, I have quit tobacco and parted with that evil thing; but, haughtiness, evil desires, impositions, and wrongs of the heart are still their customary actions. �[Page 7 of letter, continued on right side of page 5 of 7 of PDF] They offer a tenth of their mint, dill, and cumin, but abandon the main principles of the law, namely righteousness, love and truth. Look at Matthew 23 and read the chapter, all of you who are smacking the ants, but swallowing the camel! For you are washing the outside of the glass and plate; but, the inside is filled with things that are plundered and bad. [Page 6 of 7] I heard the words of some tobacco smokers. This is what I heard them say. Someone else told me. Some firemen from Lahainalalo were smoking at the fire truck on the far side of Andrews' residence, where the upper and lower waters flow together. Some boys of the college saw those people smoking tobacco. They said, ["]what is the attraction of tobacco?["] They said, [Page 7 of 7] ["]Does tobacco actually taste good? But tobacco does provide many article headings in the Kumu Hawaii, right?["] That is what they said. They were saying, ["]Good thing for tobacco, otherwise Kumu Hawaii would lack for editorials.["] In that respect, they think smoking tobacco is a good thing, something that helps the Kumu Hawaii with its needs.

Translation: [Page 1 of 18] 1 The worship of all the peoples on earth. There are many forms of worship observed by all people. All lands have believed in idol worship and no land, from east to west, and from the far to the near side of the globe has not had idol worship. On the continents of the world there are many things they worshipped, and the same is true of the islands in the sea. The kinds of worshippers could never all be listed, because of their numbers, but I shall clarify some that I know. In the western continents of Asia and Africa, there are many idol worshippers, and they are called the priests of Satan. Some worship trees, stones, the sun, or stars, as well as birds of the sky, fish of the sea, great animals of the plains or rivers, human bones and many other smaller things which have been deified. In Asia, some worship actual people. They turn an actual person into a deity and the guardians take care of him. When he is turned into a deity, he is placed in a fine setting, adorned with gold, silver and fine gems. Such is the case with Kalamanui, the Great Lama, who was turned into a god. He was an actual person, selected by the deity guardians. It is thought that Great Lama was [Page 2 of 18] �the name of the first person turned into a deity and from him came the names of all the Great Lama who came after him. This is how they function. When they make that person into a deity, they perform certain facetious actions. Once the person becomes a deity, he resides in a place prepared for him, then they worship him. They go and kneel before that human deity with offerings for that god of things that will please him. They believe their faults are forgiven by that godly human, which comforts them. Others lie down at the foot of the cart when that man is pulled along. They bow in obeisance before that deity, right up until they are crushed by the cart. The head of that person is crushed, along with the body, and they believe that some of the spiritual power of that godly human has entered into the deceased and his spirit is saved, in heaven perhaps, or where? Many people have done that in Asia with many having died from this action, and there are many other things they give to that deity so as to appease him. Silver, gold and their personal fineries [Page 3 of 18] 3 are what they gift to that deity. The same is true of Juggernaut, another deity in that same land. Many worshipped him, like the Great Lama, and some forms of worship through this deity are like those for the Great Lama. Many have died in worship of him, men, women and children. They are all dead forever, having found the painful death that the Lord clarified. Mohammed is similar. Many worshipped him in Asia, in some of his cities such as Mecca and Medina. He was an actual person, a prophet and a wise man. He falsely stated that the god of the Israelites had sent him from heaven. He said that he had talked with Jesus in heaven, who spoke to him from atop a great white horse. There were many falsehoods that he lied about and some people were deceived by those lies and became his apostles. Mohammed forbade some evils and allowed others. He forbade drunkenness and his followers should not drink liquor, but he allowed killing and other wrongs. If one did not worship him or pray to him then he should die. [Page 4 of 18] 4 Their city was completely forbidden for people to visit. If one should just wander into that place and be seen by a follower of Mohammed, they would drive him out or kill him. They would go after persons to convert to their way of thinking, intimidating them with things that would terrify so they would follow their beliefs. And so it is in all lands of the earth. On the islands of the sea, some of those people worship fish, birds of the sky and all that moves on the earth. On the continents, some parents toss their children into rivers. Such are the Hindu, who throw their children into the Ganges River. They believe that the spirit of a child who died in the river was saved. Others go to the river's edge to bathe, believing that their wrongs are washed away by the waters of the Ganges River. Still others toss their children into the river because of the burden or the boredom of caring for children. Some of the tossing's are from this, or from lack of compassion for their children. This is the product of ignorance. �Translation: [Page 5 of 18] 5 In the lands in the south of Asia, there are many worshipers. Some are pagans and some are worshipers of Muhammed. Many have followed in those ways. All those who pray to and worship the small things of the earth and the things upon it are called pagans. Thus it is; there are many who worship in this way. They are the majority of all the people on earth from one side to the other, from east to west. The majority of the people here in Hawaii are pagan. As for the people in the southern part of Asia, this is the nature of some [Page 6 of 18 of file, page 6 of letter, left side] 6 of the things they have worshipped. They go in the jungles to search for animals, bones or good wood, and upon finding it, they make those things into things for them to worship. Bones of the dead have been disinterred as items of worship. There are such numerous things the peoples of the earth have worshiped that they cannot all be mentioned. Here is one. In India (it is in Southeast Asia). There, people light a fire and then run into the fire they set, to emerge on the other side, and that is what they do, [Page 6 of 18 of file, page 7 of letter, right side] 7 men, women and children, until their skin is burned by the fire. The skin is burned and some people’s skin is charred, but they think that is what gives salvation to their souls. It is clear that this is a mistake, and is not what gives salvation to the soul. Some people bend one thigh and tie a rope from their neck to their thigh. Then they go outside and look continually at the sun until night. They think [Page 7 of 18 of file, page 8 of letter] 8 the sun will be gracious to them since they stand exhausted for a long period of time, with sore eyes from the brightness of the sun. Some people kneel before big animals (Elephants and other such things) and worship those things. There are numerous things and cannot all be explained. Those are the majority of the people on earth at this current time. That is how Hawaii was in in earlier times; but it is done now; there are only a few people who truly worship anymore. Thus it is on the western shore of America, on [Page 8 of 18 of file, page 9 of letter] 9 the far southern region of South America all the way to Russia’s America [Alaska]. These people live in ignorance of the things their souls need, they do not know the true god, the one by which their souls would have eternal life above in the boundless realm. A very small number of them have a slight knowledge of the word of God. It is the same in Oregon now, at the Columbia river. There are many Indians who have converted there in this short time of missionaries living there with them. They are making great efforts in searching for the things �[Page 9 of 18 of file, page 10 of letter, left side] 10that their souls need. But the majority in that entire place live in ignorance for lack of knowledge. And so it is with the majority of Indians in the forests of America, they have not all abandoned the idols they worship. Because of this, they live in poverty and are deceived by their false gods. There are many who are swept up in this, when foods and all good things are forbidden so as to worship their idols, [Page 9 of 18 of file, page 11 of letter, right side] 11 so they may appease them. Deep in the forests of South America there were people of a certain worship. They turned money and gold into a god for them and they worshipped it. It is also that way here in Hawaii. Hawaii’s people turned the pig, a physical need, into a god, and some people abandoned the pig at that time, thinking that if they ate it, they would surely die by the pig god. There are many things that were worshipped by Hawaii’s people, but I do [Page 10 of 18 of file, page 12 of letter, left side] 12 not fully know or worship in this way such that I would be able to explain it to you all. The old people are the people who have a clear understanding of that matter. You, the young people, ask the old ones so that you may clearly understand the nature of the foolish gods of Hawaii. In Africa, people are fully devoted to idol worship and ignorance, and only a mere few places are inhabited by missionaries. In the Cape of Good Hope, where the Hottentots are, some missionaries are living there now, in Lataku, and they are from Britain. [Page 10 of 18 of file, page 13 of letter, right side] 13 13 Some of those people have become slightly educated, and also know the word of God and are living genially, welcoming the missionaries who reside on their land. The majority of their idol worship is done and most of them know what their bodies and spirits need. They are being taught much, and, in time, may gain some education. Not all of them, however, in South Africa have converted. In the places where the teachers live, only there [Page 11 of 18 of file, page 14 of letter, left side] 14 is education to be found. There are some other places in Africa inhabited by missionaries, on the coasts is where some reside, but there are not great numbers of them. Most of the people in the deep interior of Africa live under idol worship and black magic. They have no idea about the life of the soul and the things that make a righteous life. The same is true in Asia, in the eastern and the western regions, in the northern and the southern regions, the places lived in by missionaries are few and far between. �[Page 11 of 18 of file, page 15 of letter, right side] 15 In Hindu lands, mothers throw their children into one of their great rivers, the Ganges. They think that it is there they will obtain salvation for themselves and their children, sacrificed alive into the river. In that very same land, if one's sibling or cousin dies, they fasten them on a hook and hoist them up onto the roof of the house. It is a form of worship for them and a way to remember their dearly beloved one. At this time they live in ignorance, being in Calcutta now and in other places as well. [Page 12 of 18 of file, page 16 of letter, left side] 16 In Hindu lands, some are educated, they being in Bombay, in the western region. They are now living with their teachers. Those idol worshipers have become enlightened, they have left their old ways, and do new things. Their resident teachers are from Britain and they have received education. Some of them are quite knowledgeable in the things necessary for a righteous life. [Page 12 of 18 of file, page 17 of letter, right side] 17 Like this region, so is the northern, the eastern and the western region. There has been, however, slight change in the kind of religion of some of them. The practices of the majority of people on earth are the same, from the continents all the way to the islands of this ocean. Ignorance was abundant and enlightenment was scarce. No one lived without worship, everyone practiced idol worship and did indecent things. [Page 13 of 18 of file, page 18 of letter, left side] 18 At this time in which we are living, all the places that missionaries have lived have been dotted. There are missionaries from Moravia who currently live in far places. Some missionaries currently reside in Burma as well as Siam. They have come to know God and they know their physical needs. There are congregational people there [Page 13 of 18 of file, page 19 of letter, right side] 19 now, some hundred or more. Some of them stayed faithful and others have fallen. Some of thier teachers came from America or from Britain. Some of the missionaries are in Ceylon, and though they have not been living there long, those people are enlightened and were taught by the missionaries. There are colleges there, and some of those people were taught there and became quite education. There are many places of this world, when counted, that were inhabited by the missionaries, but [Page 14 of 18 of file, page 20 of letter, left side] 20 �when compared to the whole world, it is quite small. The most enlightened places are in Britain, Europe and America. Britain’s worshippers strived to spread those things that would end the religious worship that the peoples of this world were practicing. The same is true with Europe, though they spread mostly in their own places. Few are those who strive in this practice. In Moravia, a part of Europe, they extensively spread Jesus’s word through, [Page 14 of 18 of file, page 21 of letter, right side] 21 everywhere they went. 115 years is how long it was from when they started until now. They started in the year of our Lord 1733; there are only 600 of them. They were small, but they were strong in searching for Jesus' kingdom on earth. Some are in Greenland, and some are in Labrador, [Page 15 of 18 of file, page 22 of letter, left side] 22 in the eastern region of Britain’s America. And in west India, in Africa, in North America, in Tataria and in other countries. It is thought that there were 37 places they resided in all the countries. These were strong workers, and it is estimated that 40,700 students followed them in their work of conversion, they, of course, being assisted by the Holy Spirit. Indians, Negros and Honttentots all converted. They were wild folk, but they heeded [Page 15 of 18 of file, page 23 of letter, right side] 23 and observed the Lord. Britain's folk who disseminated the word spread the word of Jesus in many lands, bringing the foolish religions of the world's peoples to an end. Here are the places they disseminated their virtue: in China at Benegolo and in East India and Africa, in the West Indies, through North America and Russia throughout the lands of Borabora. 316 places were settled by them throughout some parts of the world, ending the world's useless endeavors. [Page 16 of 18 of file, page 24 of letter, left side] 24 Many of their students converted to their teachings. It is estimated that 100,000 or more agreed with their teachings, 40,000 being pious. In A.D. 1812, the Christians in America began to spread the word of Jesus through the benighted lands of this world. Some of them journeyed through India and western Asia, while others were in Africa and the western part of North America, the lands along the Columbia River, now called Oregon. There were in the Rocky Mountains and here in Hawaii as well. [Page 16 of 18 of file, page 25 of letter, right side] 25 There were many, far beyond what I could explain at this time, the places where goodness thrived and the foolish religions of all this world's peoples were extinguished. �You see the great number of places where Jesus Christ's Christians have resided, but in comparison with the world, it is like little dots on paper, and they continue to worship in ignorance and without knowledge. Ignorance is probably the reason for their ignorant practices, like those of Hawaii did previously. I believe that [Page 17 of 18 of file, page 26 of letter, left side] 26 they are strong worshippers. Perhaps if they had properly heard Jesus' name, then some of them would have converted. Many are the types of worship in this world. Take not, all of you who have read this K. H. [Kumu Hawaii], men, women and children. You have seen the impropriety of worship. It can be death, pain and poverty from the burden of frequent sacrifice to the idols. What are your thoughts, children, those who know not the nature of that? Do you consider following [Page 17 of 18 of file, page 27 of letter, right side] 27 their customs? Here is my thought for all of you. We should have one God to worship, namely Jehovah, who made heaven and earth. We should worship only him, and to him alone give offerings night and day. Do things appropriate to his liking, so that we become true follower of his. Give your heart to him completely and grant all things to him. Such as he provides for us, so should we give [Page 18 of 18 of file, page 28 of letter] 28 give to him. That is how we should manage this great life until all of the days of our impoverished existence in this world are over, and we find the beautiful home above with Jesus Christ in eternity. Love to you all From me, Kalama, your friend who, with one mouth, asks the Lord to grant his grace to us all. It is finished. Notes: 1. Kalama - The author, S.P.
