Wry noteworthy is the following expres"My station is thai of a Constitusion tional Monarch, accepting the will of My p.ople as pr.mounted by them through their representatives in the Legislature, and My Constitutional advisers, the Mm islers of the Crown." This is a dignified ai knowledginent of the Sovereign's obligation and inumion to let the Lt'g;slaturc govern through the Cabinet, in place of former pcrs m.il government. We believe that no such language as ibis has hitherto been used in any Royal speech. These words must go far to mitigJtg any appre : uf the police with the open and nearly unrestrained gambling of natives and Chinese at the paka-pio and clicfa resorts of the celestials. This state of thinos constitute* a moral cancer of a malignant type. As usual in a pestilence anionl; the lower classes, the higher are nut at all exempt. This same evil is exceedingly prevalent in the Slates. Indeed the contagion has invaded us from there. The N. Y. Independent of May r>th has a symposium of twenty-seven large columns upon this subject, contributed to by fifteen ■ leading men. Pastor Beckwith of Central Union Church has also made this growing vice the object of vigorous attack from the pulpit, in discourse! delivered May 15th. Among the points brought out in the valuable discussion in the Independent, is the fact that gambling is preeminently a crime breeder. It is an intensely fascinating vice, and takes a nearly inextricable grip upon its victims. By its excitement, it unfits them for patient diligence in' the ordinary occupations of life. It generates idleness. It is a tremendous incitement to peculation and In the sudden disasters defaulting. which gambling springs upon its votaries, it drives them to suicide, or to outlawry. So well-known are these tendencies of this vice, that prudent business men will promptly discharge employees who are known to gamble in any form, as unfit to be trusted. Another point made prominent is that the most wide-spread and destructive form of gambling is found in the "bookmaking" and "pool-selling" of the horse- 41 NUMIU'.K (). races. There seems to be no doubt that the present increase of the vice is due, more than to any other cause, to the immense development of horse-racing. Why the contests of horse flesh should minister to the gambling spirit more than yacht and boat races, or base ball sanies, is a question we need not here discuss. It is well-known that they do so, and the reason is not far to seek, we imagine. Meantime the habit ol betting rendered so active and inveterate in tile-horse-race, extends to those other forms of recreation, and corrupts the whole. Numbers of our best citizens, even earnest Christians, have been in the habit of attending the races at Kapiolani Park, as an innocent amusement. We beg our friends to reconsider their duty, and not thus to contribute, bytheii pies ence and influence, to foster the terrible crime breeder and moral cancer of gambling in Honolulu. THE TREASON CASES. Ol k monthly chronicle of events r c. ids the fact of the arrest of eighteen persons charged with treason, and of their much delayed examination for commitment to be tried. Tnis examination is making slow progress as we go to press. Enough evidence on the case has transpired, not perhaps to make their commitment a certainty, hut enough to satisfy the public that an organized conspiracy was in progress, with the intention of seizing the government before the meeting of the Legislature. The people engaged in it were not formidable, but cpiite the contrary, cither in numbers, ability, or resources. The participation, as a leader, of one man of intelligence seems to imply that he expected some supiiort from parties not directly engaged in the conspiracy. Wilcox and others concerned have for some time been using language of increasing violence, seeking to inflame the minds of the natives. It can now hardly be doubted that the did the correct thing to squelch the affair before it came to a head. The best time to extinguish a conflagration is while it is being kindled, especially if any inflammable elements are known to exist. With our liberal Constitution and (iovernment able Legislature, there is no reason for irregular means for reform of grievances, and we believe no probability of any further puerile attempts of that sort. �42 June,1892. THE FRIEND. OBITUARY. Mks. LUCIA Cr. Lyons At noon, April 27th, this venerable missionary mother passed to her eternal rest, at the great age of 84 years. Eiftyfour of these had been passed in uninterrupted residence in the old mission home at Waimea, Hawaii. Lucia Garrat Smith was born at Burlington, Otsego Co., N. V., April 17th, 1808. Her father was for many years a merchant, and a man of intelligence. With her elder sister Marcia, who still survives in America, she sailed from Boston in the bark Umry Frnzier, Dec. 14th, 1836, in a company of thirty-two missionaries, being the largest reinforcement sent to the Hawaiian Mission. We believe the only remaining survivors of the thirtytwo still residing here, are the Hon. S. N. Castle and Mrs. J. M. Cooke. Soon after their landing, the still young and very lovely wife of Rev, Lorenzo Lyons died quite suddenly at Honolulu, May 14th, IS. 17, leaving one child. July 14th, 1838, Miss L. G. Smith was united in marriage to Mr. Lyons, and nobly filled the empty place in his home, as a faithful helpmeet and tender, wise and watchful mother. We well remember her maiden comeliness, as well as the mature and cheerful though worn features of her middle age, when her own three children were growing up in their retired home, the older son having gone to college. Mr. Lyons was a tireless itinerant throughout his large and then populous mission field, extending through Hamakua to Waipio, Waimanu, and Kawaihae, always journeying on foot. Mrs. Lyons' labors were mainly at her house, and largely as a teacher. "Children from many well-known Hawaiian families—laukea, Kamakau, Kalama, Hoapili, John and Isaac Davis, John Parker, and George Beckley were among her pupils. Then came her family school for girls which was kept up until 1879, the mother caring for Hawaiian girls as tenderly as for her own. In 1887 she resumed for a while her work as teacher, gathering into her school of twenty juveniles, children of people who were born after she had come to Waimea.—C. M. Hyde." Mrs. Lyons was always much interested in Natural Science, as we can testify from animated ''iscussions at her home—and to this is vi part unquestionably due the peculiar scientific bent of her sons Prof. Curtis J. Lyons, of the Survey Department, and in charge of Meteorological work; and Doctor Albert B. Lyons, Professor of Chemistry in Oahu College. Her old age became attended by failure of the heart, the immediate cause of death, although she took to her bed only three days before the end, during which there was much suffering from difficulty of breathing, until a season of quiet at the last. The funeral was conducted by the During the time in which he is engaged in this hoommtu mana the kahu [kceper| must not at his peril omit at a single meal the regular prayer addressed to the spirit. At length the kahu feels a strange supernatural power resting upon him, enabling him to see into the mysteries of the spirit world and to do wonderful things impossible to other men. To increase this power to a greater degree, he casts a lock of hair, taken from the deceased, into the burning lake of Kilauea, and it becomes a kino inakani a wind body|. Some of the bones are cast into the sea to become a shark. A finger nail, thrown into a body of fresh water, becomes a moo [lizard], while a bone or two, wrapped in kapn and placed in a recess in the kahn's house, becomes a most sacred object of homtinamann. The kahu is now fully invested with a power most infernal. The shark in the sea, the moo on land, and the kino makani in the air, are his remorselesses agents to pursue, torment and destroy his victims. Should the kahu fail in fulfilling any of the exacting requirements of his position, this power is turned against him with sevenfold fury, to his own confu sion and utter destruction. His fate and that of his family are sealed, and a terrible death soon overtakes them. A far more numerous and varied class of beings whom the kahuna can summon to his aid are the Aumakuas. The important distinction between an unihipili and an numakna is this; the unihipili is created, as it were, by and becomes the slave of a single kahuna, who has the entire responsibility of its feeding and growth. An aumakua, on the contrary, is in general an ancestral god. It may have a host of worshippers, and usually enters into intimate and often pleasant relations with the clan or the class that acknowledges it as one of their gods. Since it is assured ofalways having a number to give it the required hooinanamana, it is not driven to desperation, as is an unihipili, by the neglect of a single worshipper. The fiercest and most universally dreaded of the aumakuas is Kiha wahine [the moo or lizard god], represented as a mermaid —a woman above, with long flowing tresses, and below the waist a moo. The fire goddess, Pele, is preeminently Rev. Mr. Ostrom of Kohala, and the comes mighty. native pastor Rev. John Kalino. The natives gathered from far and near. She was interred by the side of her eminent missionary husband, under the monument erected to his memory by the Hawaiian Sunday Schools. Her two daughters, the Misses Fidelia and Elizabeth Lyons, still abide in the old home, in the loneliness of which many hearts will sympathize with and pray for them. Waimea is held in pleasant remembrance by a multitude of travelers across Hawaii as a place of delightful hospitality, in which Father and Mother Lyons for fifty years took abundant share. Eew of the noble departed band of missionary toilers for the Hawaiian people have ieft behind them more loved and honored memories than these two of holy, simple, consecrated and shining lives. "THE LESSER HAWAIIAN GODS." lI'.ti itn t'ointitertaal Advertiser, April 14, Ixtf ] It gives us pleasure to place before our readers this morning a summary of the lecture delivered by J. S. Emerson, Esq., at the last meeting of the Hawaiian Historical Society. It was prepared at our request, by Mr. Emerson himself and therefore may be depended upon as reliable. The brief limits of a newspaper report, however, cannot do justice to Mr. Emerson's paper, and it is therefore a cause for congratulation that the lecture is to be published in full at an early day, and "placed in the hands of every member of the Historical Society. The subject of Mr. Emerson's lecture was "The Lesser Hawaiian Gods," more especially those who have received the worship and become the patrons of individuals and families, and have entered most intimately into their daily life. These were treated under the two heads, Unihipili and Aumakua. Of all the familiar spirits which a kahuna [sorcerer] summons to execute his wishes, the most dreadful is an unihipili. To secure an alliance with a spirit of this class it is necessary to attend carefully and systematically to a number of most exacting details. After the death of a child or the near relative or intimate friend whose spirit is to be devoted to this service, the bones and hair of the deceased are gathered up into a bundle by the kahuna and secreted in his dwelling-house, where they become the object of his systematic hooinanamana [worship]. This worship rendered to the spirit is not an ascription of power already possessed by the object worshipped, but an imparting to it of power, which but for this worship it would never have. In short, the god does not make the kahuna, but the kahuna often makes his god. Little by little the spirit gains strength and be the fury of the Hawaiian Pantheon. Her usual form is that of an ugly and hateful old hag, with tattered and fire burned garments, scarcely concealing the filth and nakedness of her person. She has a fiendish countenance, a jealous and vindictive temper and delights in cruelty. The younger sister, Hiiaka ika polio Pele, is the especial patron of certain kinds of sorcery and murderous arts. The chief patron, however, of sorcerers is Uli. She was a woman who came from Kahiki and whose great reputation m the black arts led to her being wor shipped after death. �Volume 50, No. 6.] The chief benefactors and devoted friends of man among the aumakuas are the pueo, or owl, and the mono, or shark. The pueo gives its kali us and faithful worshippers timely warning of approaching danger, aids the prisoner in untying the knotted cords with which he is bound, and in making good his escape. The shark is perhaps the most universally worshipped of all the aumakuas. When we reflect on the amphibious character of the Hawaiians and their familiarity with, and exposure to, the dangers of the sea, it is no wonder that they should propitiate certain sharks with whom they may not be on friendly terms. We cannot in this sketch mention the numerous other objects which are worshipped as aumakuas by the Hawaiians. They include a number of fishes and other marine forms of life, also various birds and quadrupeds, among the latter, the hog, dog and rat. Inanimate objects, too, came in for their share of this very general hooinanamana, which often degenerates into a gross form of fetich worship. But in justice to the Hawaiians we must say that thefriedly relations which they maintained with many of their aumakuas were in pleasing contrast with the dread with which the Tahitians regarded the malevolent oromatuas. The great need of the Hawaiians is to have clearly impressed upon their minds the fact of the absolute unity of the Godhead—a fact which they have never sufficiently appreciated, and from which many of them have departed. The teaching of the Hawaiian kahunas is that the decay of the race is the result of the vengeance of their old time offended deities, fearful of being supplanted by the white man's God, who was brought according to their belief, from over the This foreign God water in a book. came into the land as a weakling and a stranger, but by the worship (hoomana mana) paid him, has waxed mighty and destroyed the balance of power in the Hawaiian pantheon.

[From a letter from John Wise of account Oberlin.] 43 THE FRIEND. hala bluffs on either side belong to more recently built up mountain slopes. We obtained the other day for the first Mr. Gulick strongly fortified his theory time, a really good view of these enor- by appealing to the existence of an imThe Waimanu Palis. mous precipices and canyons. We were so fortunate as to leave Kawaihae in the steamer Kinau at 2 p.m. which brought us by half-past four off Pololu gulch, where the great palis begin. We had a splendid run, past the Kohala plantations with their green uplands, stretching from the low red bluffs to the misty, wooded mountain top. At Pololu the coast line bends inward, but Capt. Clark most kindly consented to alter the ship's course a little and run nearer the land. There are about ten miles in length of this wonderful coast line, of the largest sea-cliffs in this group. At Waimanu gulch, the height at the sea is very nearly two thousand feet, and about half that where this formation ends at Waipio on the south-east. At the Pololu gulch on the north it is somewhat less still, but the intermediate precipices and canyons are of colossal grandeur. Sailing under the long lofty precipice between Honokane and Waimanu valleys, we counted at one view ten leaping cascades. Honokane valley though less in depth and breadth than Waimanu, reaches up wonderfully into the mysterious mountain depths, where the old Hawaiian gods used to dwell, in the hid ings of the clouds and the chasms. The whole mountain is thickly clothed in verdure from height to base. No path traverses the dense jungle of the upland. This Kohala mountain forms the northern section of Hawaii. It seems to be composed of an older and higher mountain mass, and of one of much more recent formation running out north-westerly in a long ridge which terminates at Kohala north point. On the N.E. slope of this newer ridge lie the beautiful lands of the Kohala plantations. S.E. of these for ten miles stretch the dark mysterious, wooded chasms of the old mountain, hidden in perpetual cloud, and nearly impenetrable to human feet. We were fortunate in having the company of the Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, who is an intelligent questioner of nature. The reason was warmly debated between us why this enormous precipice should thus intervene between the Kohala and Hamakua bluffs which were of ordinary height, G. maintaining that a fissure of the mountain had broken off the part which had disappeared. The writer as decidedly contended that it was entirely due to marine erosion. That is, the heavy surges driven by the trade winds had eaten away the mountain. The immense height of the cliffs was merely due to the ancient character of the mountain, and the longer period during which the eroding cause had been at work, whereas the Hamakua and North Ko- mense chasm parallel to the shore about four miles inland. This tremendous canyon, by reason of its direction, cannot be the effect of atmospheric erosion. It must have been split open by a convulsion, the like of which must have broken off the parallel coast line. An analogous marine precipice may be traced through South Kona, which cannot possibly be the effect of marine erosion. The lofty precipice of the coast south of Kilauea volcano is manifestly broken off, not eaten away. We were much impressed by our brother Gulick's reasoning. Very probably his is the correct theory. Meantime, we hope many others will view those wonderful palis, and set their minds at work upon their history. Two Years of Progress in Hilo. We had the privilege of being fellow passenger to Hilo with the Rev. Thos. L. Gulick, who was bound thither for a few weeks exchange of pulpits with Rev. E. P. Baker. Our own stay allowed us barely one hour to look around, wherefore we are glad to use our good brother Gulick's eyes in noting matters there, as given in a letter of his to the /'. C. Advertiser. A fine two-story public school building lately finished, with its fine yard and surroundings is an ornament to the town. The principal is Mr. Lord, aided by five lady teachers. There is an especially good training in the "Tonic Sol Fa" system. Mr. G. "never heard native children speak English more perfectly than in this school." Miss H. Coan conducts another excellent school. The Foreign Church have added a pretty Chapel in rear of the main building, containing Sunday School room, parlor, etc. The Portuguese Wednesday Prayer Meeting numbered 53, their Sabbath congregation 100. The Roman Catholics have erected a large school house —we presume in order to save the lambs of their Portuguese flock from heresy in the public school. An abundant supply of pure water is now piped all over town with 200 feet head. We will remaik that it severely reflects on government inefficiency that with the enormous water supply running to waste in Hilo, they have waited until now for this convenience. The same may be said of Wailuku and Lahaina. It must be considerately remembered that our government is composed of mixed native and foreign elements, and that it is therefore necessarily hampered in its efficiency. Mr. Gulick reports the eighteenth mile post reached on the Volcano road, and the woods to be most beautiful, �44 THE FRIEND We can testify to the very excellent Mr. J. S.

[June, 1892 THE OPIUM TRAFFIC. It seems to be true, as charged, that a very gross and injurious frustration ol justice took place lately at Wailuku, in dismissing a clearly made out case of smuggling of opium. It is widely believed, although we are far from asserting it, that there is an extensive conspiracy to prevent detection and punishment of smuggling, for the purpose of helping on a change in the law, which shall legalize the traffic. The objects of so doing are no doubt to create additional revenue from the sale of lictnses, and to create a profitable legal traffic for individuals. The advocates of this measure —and they are many —of course deride the idea of being bound by any moral consideration as to legalizing so destructive and injurious a traffic. But we mayhope that they will consider its very fatal effect upon the Hawaiian people. At the present time, the sale to Hawaiians, as well as to Chinese, is greatly limited by the danger of detection, because the merepossession of the drug is punishable. Under license, this safeguard is removed, and 'no law against sale to Hawaiians or children can possibly be enforced. The smooth and artful Chinese peddlers of opium will pervade every native hamlet with the drug, without check, which now they cannot do. There are some who do not care howsoon the Hawaiians finish their present downward course, and cease to exist. But we trust there are enough left among our legislators who have compassion and friendship for the native people, and will be governed by the desire to save them. Charles F. Gurney.—We desire to join with many in this community in condoling with the family and relatives of this most estimable young man, in his early passing away, while seemingly achieving a degree of success in business life, which was most creditable to Mm, and of great promise for his future. We are most thankful that those who were much dependent upon his exertions, will realize the benefit of his prudence in the avails of an insurance upon his life. Mr. George E. Richardson, late Circuit Judge of Maui, whose death occurred in March, was a public officer of worth whose loss is deeply felt by the community, of whom he was an honored Hawaiian member, as well as by a large circle of estimable kindred. We deeply regret to record the subsequent decease of his widow and of two of his five children, at their home in Wailuku. �Volume 50, No. 6.] An Honored Native Household in Affliction. The very sudden death of Mr. Samuel Mahelona has removed the head of a beloved Hawaiian household. Mr. M. had for some years been a book-keeper with Allen & Robinson, and was a gentleman of the highest character, and a consistent member, with his wife, of Kawaiahao Church. Mrs. Mahelona, prior to their marriage nine years since, had been greatly valued as an assistant teacher in Kawaiahao Female Seminary, as Miss Emma Napoleon. The example of this refined Christian home of their own people has been one of most important service and encouragement to Hawaiians, and makes the death of this young father a public as well as private loss. Pacific Coast Commercial Record, Vol. S, No. 1, May 1892. -This number contains 22 pages, and is entirely devoted to illustrating the Hawaiian Islands. There are eight pictures of scenery all of which are beautifully printed, mostly photogravures. There are four maps, and four pictures of fruit, all excellent. There are also 14 pictures of public and private buildings, many of them with beautiful grounds and foliage. The and statistical of the descriptive portion work is fairly full and accurate, and has certainly been edited with much ability. It is on the whole much the most finely illustrated article upon these Islands that has yet been produced. In quantity, it is equal to seven of the articles on Hawaii in the September number of Rtvitvi of Reviews. Just one half of the present production is occupied with biographies of prominent residents of this Kingdom, gentlemen who have variously contributed towards the labor and expense of the publication. The portraits of about seventy of these gentlemen are handsomely printed. There is no doubt but that this publication will render good service in advertising the Islands. Several thousand copies are being put in circulation. The retail price is twenty-five cents. 45 THE FRIEND. The Kingdom oi Hawaii is the title of a pamphlet containing a lecture by Mr. Theo. H. Davies before the Southport Literary and Philosophical Society, England. Mr. Davies presented these Islands in a very effective, and agreeable manner, accompanying his talk with nearly ninety screen pictures. As a sample of humorous embellishment, we copy the following: "The new king welcomed the missionaries, and the question arose, ' Were the new teachers to be allowed to remain and publish their doctrines?' A grave difficulty arose at the outset, and the king explained it to his domestic circle much as follows: 'My dears, shall these men stay? because they say that if they do I must have only one wife, and four of you must go.' The senior queen, Kamamalu, immediately responded 'Let them stay, and you four can go,' which they accordingly did." 20,000 Australians Coming! They are coming on their way to the Columbian Exposition next year. That is, if boats and fares are made all right. It is thought that the Canadian Pacific Railway people are going to do great things in that way. A powerful line of "grey hounds" is talked of—it is said some of them are building. They are to be titted up solely for passengers, to carry six or eight hundred each, and push through from Sydney to Vancouver in eighteen days. Now- Honolulu proposes somehow to tap this stream of tourists, and induce a portion of them to take a good look at Hawaii nei, and leave a little money here. Of course to do this supposes considerable activity and efficient work to be expended. The opening of the harbor bar must be completed, or the big ships will not call here. The Volcano roads both ways must be finished and put in good order, or the tourists will not largely go there. Hotel and coasting steamers must be put in prime order, and lastly, there must be a heap of advertising, because most of the Australians do not know or care where Hawaii A Lecture on These Islands was is, and never heard of our volcano.

A New Survey of a Cable Route. The U. S. Survey steamer Thetis arrrived at Honolulu May 20th, after having made 300 soundings on a new line between Point Conception and Hilo, a distance of 2060 miles. The new route is considered to be a better one than the more northern one adopted by ihtAlbatross, the changes in depth being less abrupt. This work of the Thetis is welcome as fresh evidence of an earnest disposition on the part of the United States to lay a cable to our shores at an early date. RECORD OF EVENTS.

Alvin Ostrom, who, besides his regular work as pastor of the Kohala Foreign Church, looks alter the Japanese and Portuguese of his district and also helps forward the Chinese work. It is a little over four months since I came here, and I suppose you will know that I have not done much in so short a time; also you will understand how difficult the work is at first. I believe that the God will surely help him who is trying to work righteousness. Hut I am only an unworthy hoy and you will pray for nie. At present I have four meeting places with fifty friends. I am giving them Christian instruction and teaching them English most every night. The meeting places are at llonokaa Mill, in the village, at the Overend place, and at Paauhau. They all seem very kind to me in every way. They are all laborers working hard every day, and I have thought it was needful to give them innocent amusement that would please their weary souls and bodies, lam trying to find out what is hest. There are over 2,000 Japanese in this district, and I tell you now I am just trying to make some yeast for to rise up this people. I have always good health and am happy in every way. [From the Report of S. Mmipishi stationed at Honokaa, and supported by the Hawaiian Board. 1 In reporting this church here at Hilo, I would say, during the last three months there has been no remarkable event in it. Since Mr. Okabe left for Japan we have had some anxiety about the church, lest its members should fail. But thanks he to God who can save to the uttermost, we are all going steadily toward the gate of Heaven. Moreover he gave us new brethren who came to this country lately. Of course they are all believers in Buddhism, and have never heard about Christianity. singing one hour before prayer. Wish become improved and more skillful than before. About live weeks ago I opened tin mght school at Onomea plantation about five miles from Hilo. The plantation contains about 200 Japanese. At fust some fifty or sixty came to hear nic, and next time the audience was over forty. 'They told me tiny would build a small barn themselves for a meeting place. 'This is the most hopeful place and is in good order. The Papaikou night school is in good order too, but the average attendance is not as main only fifteen. 'The other night schools are it Waiakea and WainapU mils about six or seven attend. There aie about fifteen who wish to be baptized. [From the Report of K. Hoshina stationed at Hilo, antl supported by the Hawaiian Hoard, j us The average present attendance is forty. The number has increased since last June about one half. The number received by letters from foreign countries is five, removals eleven, baptised six teen, probationers On the first of twenty. January 1892 we re- moved from the Lyceum to the Queen The number of Japanese in Honolulu is unknown, but those who have joined the temperance society are Emma Hall. about one hundred. We hold meetings at the Oahu Jail and at two boarding houses, besides the regular meetings at Emma Hall. In January Mr. Koburagi left Ewa and I went there to preach every Tuesday night. Since the first of April Mr, K. Sato has taken charge at Ewa. The number of laborers is about three hundred and fifty. There are many thousands of Japanese on the Island of Kauai and about forty christians, but no preacher since Mr. Murakani left for Japan. [Prom the Report of Mr. T. Sunamoto of Honolulu and supported by the Hawaiian Hoard.] The work is going on as steadily as before and growing day by day. In Paia the attendants on Sunday average about forty, of which nineteen are hapti/ed. At Grove Ranch the average is fifteen, none baptized yet. At Hamakuapoko it is about thirty, of which ten are baptized. Since the begining of the year fourbeen baptised and four have gone hick to Japan and joined the church there. Mr. Baldwin j;ave us a house at Hamakuapoko. The class for women (at as we expected, but Paia) does not we have some future hope of it. The money contributions this year amounted to sixty eight dollars, fifty-eight were used for benevolent works. [From the Report of J. Hi rota ofPaia, Maui; this brother is supported hy the I'.ii.t Foreign Church.| teen have A CASE IN HAND. In the first week of June 1890, 1). K. Kahuakai, one of Rev. Jas. Hicknell's workers went to Hookena, South Kona, Hawaii, on a visit. While there his eyes were opened and his heart was moved in view of the needs of the people of that region, and especially toward those of the district of Kalahiki. They did not come to church. They were out of sympathy with the pastor, and they had no religious instruction. They were npt even possessed of bibles. Mr. Kahuakai visited them, held meetings with them and ordered for them an invoice of New Testaments and Hymn books. 'This work continued under the guidance of brother Kahuakai, assisted later by his son in law Mr. T. K. R. Amain, for nearly three months. As an outcome of this work a meeting house has been built at Kalahiki, and a leader has been found in the ex-Judge T. W. P. Kaeo, who is now a blind man, but scholarly and gifted, and by the guidance of our good brother Kahuakai, he is now a devout praying man. An instance is noted of the reclaiming of one for a time from the power of superstition. A woman could not eat of a certain kind of moss, the Lipeepee, because it was her aumakua. Hut on a certain occasion this woman and her family, having been labored with, were brought to a table where this moss was one of the dishes, and after the asking of a blessing was prevailed upon to partake of it; which she did without harm and continued to he an eater of the moss, pronouncing it rich and wholesome. And now comes back the report that the woman has lately goi.e back to her superstitious fear of her aumakua limu after nearly a year's immunity. It seems that during a sickness she was visited by a kahuna, who declared the cause of her sickness to be her eating of the tabooed limu. Hut that work remains which was so kindly and so hopefully begun. r£x-Judge Kaeo is still leading it, and the little chapel is seen across the bay from Hookena. �48 — PROGRAM EvangHelaicAwsoint,5Jue -12,1892.
