MISSIONARY

A special meeting

I

ADll'.S.

of the Woman's

Board was held on the afternoon ol
March '27th, in the vestry of Central
Union Church, for the purpose of meeting the foin missionary ladies who came
by the Morning Shir. Over 200 ladies
were present, including many sojourners from abroad.
Alter the opening exercises of devo
tion the President, Mrs. Dr. Hyde, in
trpduced the missionary guests to the
audience. The first speaker was Mrs.
Dr. I'ease, of the Marshall Islands mission, whose home has been on Kusaie
for the past seventeen years. Mrs.
I'ease gave a most interesting narration
of their last season's cruise on the
Morning Stor among the different isl
ands anil stations of the group. This
will he more fully given in Mrs. Pease's
own journal published in Tin FRIEND.
The Star now visits I I out of:?.'! islands,
many of which are small with few inhabitants. By permission of the German authorities., 2. teachers were located, 13 of whom are ordained. A great
feeling of rebel pervades those churches
at the establishment of a friendly understanding with the government. A Roman Catholic Propaganda is expected,
which will probably make some trouble.
Mrs. Hyde stated that news came by
the Australia of the appointment of a
new missionary anil his wife t &gt; take up
the wink which Dr. I'ease had left.
There were 11,00(1 people in the Marshall Islands. Mrs. Hyde then said
that five years ago a young missionary

whatevt.-i was permitted
with their people. Hciltv N.inape is
able and faithful. The three churches
in the rebel tribe id Matalainni tie prospering. A large new church lias been
dedicated on the site of the otic burned
by the Spanish force, in November,
1890. Ihe Icing is m earnest to keep
the people from heathen practice..
Mrs. Logan of the Kuk Mission was
the hist speaker. The population of the
Kuk lagoon is I 2,0011. and of the Moit
locks of the same field, MOO. Kuk is
35(1 miles wist from l'onape. and 680
from Kusaie
Mrs. Logan recalled her
sailing hence with Mr. Logan len yeais
ago to Kuk. With the help of the
teacher Moses, they selectt d their
station whico Mr. Logan named Anapauo, or Real. There he "fell asleep."
The people are the most wailike and
■avage in the Caroline Islands. They
thronged around them in abaolute nudity. On Mrs. Logan'a return in 1889,
she found eight girls kept together by
Mr. Snelling. She had a school of from
9 to 12 girls the first year. Miss Kinney
joined her the next year, and they had a
new house with an average of
M'rls.
four of these are married to native
teacheis. Now there are only twelve
pupils, owing to the cloud ol war that is
over the islands. The}' have been lotted
away by then heathen pat cuts.
The Misses Kinney, and Ahell remain
in charge of the school. Mrs Logan'a
titter, Miss boss, has gone to assist
Miss Hoppin on Kusaie.
Mis. Logan besought the prayera ol
the women of Honolulu for that school.
The outlook is not bright. The gitls
are married very early.
It is a great reproach if they are not. liut things ate
going to he better.
A missionary and his wile are to leave
China and go to Kuk.
Letters of thanks were read from mis
sionaries for gifta sent by the Woman's
Hoard.
The venerable Mother Rice recalled
the stay with them at I'unahou in IBR2
ol the pioneer inissionaiies going to
Micronesia.
Mrs. Bingham repotted the way in
which the HOC Bibles sent to the Gilbert
Islands were instantly sold, and twice
the number called for.
The meeting closed with a hymn. It
was a time of deep interest and feeling,
long to he remembsred.
A sale of mats and fans was then
held in the Ladies kitchen. They had
been taken in pay for books in the Marshall Islands. The fans weir ol tastetul

passed away to a higher service,
A child rame soon after to the survivor,
who would now speak to us.
Mrs. Forbes then gave a graphic
sketch of the daily routine of missionary
life in Kusaie, which was very systema
tic, and filled not merely with labors,
but with recreations as well. They always went out prepared for rain. They
watched the sunsets, which were nearly
at the same hour at all seasons. Dr.
I'ease tinkered up all the umbrellas of
the missionaries. Mrs. Forbes said her
work was little compared with Mrs.
Pease's multifarious tasks.
Mrs. Dr. Whitney then read a few
short selections from the journal of Miss
Hoppin, including a description written
by a native scholar of a canoe trip
around the island. The arrival of the
Morning Star was always an occasion
of delirious excitement to the girls, to
whom it meant communication with
their islet homes. One of them quoted
Matt. '-:Ib. "And when they saw the
star, they rejoiced with exceeding great
joy."
Mrs. Rand of the Ponape Mission
next addressed the audience.' Debarred
by the Spaniards from l'onape, they had
spent their two years work on the island
of Mokil 80 miles east of l'onape with
only IMI people. They had chosen this
rather than the larger and more populous l'ingelap because higher and more
healthy. The people had received them
enthusiastically, and done everything
possible for them in the way of food and
houses. Our man pulled down his
wooden cottage to furnish lumber to ekeout Mr. Hand's few planks. All hands
helped and in one month they moved
into the half finished house. A school
of sixty pupils was maintained, some of
them from Pingelap and Ngatik. Ngat
ik people had until recently been hostile
to Christianity, but now were warmly
friendly. The 10(1(1 people on Pingelap
had become much discouraged by the
apparent neglect of the Mission. The
work was now reviving. 20(1 pupils
were in the schools, and they were
building a new church.
The Kands' stay on Mokil near by
had been a great encouragement to the
l'onape Christians. They had called at
Ponape twice a year on the Morning
Star; but the visits were short and unsatisfactory. At their last call, no com-

A great number of people were
at the beach to greet us when we went
ashore, and Likinebbe, the pastor's wife,
assured us a great many more were
coming. The large church was well
filled—the ushers (?) did their duty
faithfully, and five or six chiefs whose
faces are nearly coveted with tattoo
marks, sat in a row on a bench. There
are thirteen chiefs who are church members here besides a number of their
children. The year has been a happy
and prosperous one with Lejilairik as
pastor and Likorok as teacher. When
Lejilairik rose to say his farewell words
to his Hock, he told them that he did
not come to them in wisdom, tor he
was only an ignorant man, but he came
because it seemed to be God's will that
he should try to explain God's word as
it had been taught to him, that he had
been very happy with them, they had all
been kind and God had blessed them
with his presence. Now it seemed to
be God's will that he should leave them
and go to another place, and he wanted
to do his will whatever it was. The
church has increased by 54 and now
numbers 187. Jeremiah used an illnstrstion in his remarks which interested
me very much. They make their canoe
sails of the leaf of the pandanus or
screw pine, and to protect them when
furled they make a cover like a long
pocket which they call an "atro.'' Jeremiah told them we were going to
America and that they would now be
like a sail without an "atro," exposed
to the destroying effects of the sun and
rain, "but,"' he added, "shall we grieve
because of this? No, we have an atro
who will shield us always and will never
go away from us, Jesus Christ is our
atro and we need not fear. It is a benediction to us to have Jeremiah with us
when we make the tour of the islands.
He is a saint indeed whom there is no
guile, and is known and loved all

one which we shall never forget. The large church was well
filled with eager lists-tiers—save the babies who had no respect for the place.
The people had been gathering from the
different islets during the week, in expectation of Jeremiah's return for communion Sunday. Five young people
were received into the church, and the
whole service was very impressive and
helpful. We had a short service with
the women after the congregation was
dismissed, then there was much handshaking. A new passenger had arrived
since the day before, a baby girl for Likinlebbe, which I have named Almiia.
This morning we went ashore to collect
our family and say our good byes.
A
huge number of cocoanuts, fowls, and
mats were presented us, although the
people who gave them will be hungry in
consequence. We have had similar presents at some of the other islands. Notwithstanding the German doctor at
Jaluij more people, at all the islands,
want medicine than ever before, and the
ship has been swarming with them today. Jeremiah came on board to be with
us up to the last minute. The hardest

Rev. E. M. Pease, M. D.
This veteran missionary leader has
been with us in Honolulu the past few
days, on his journey homewards with
his wife and his two sons, who need
now to enter upon their period of higher
education. These tall lads born in the
mission field suggest it measure of the
time of tluir parents' long and sue
cessful service for the building up of the
Church of Christ among the people of
the Marshall Islands. Dr. and Mrs.
Pease arrived there in 1*77. lie first
located at the old mission station on
the coral atoll of Ebon, As i physician
he soon became convinced that for
American missionaries, the conditions
of life on such an island were wasteful
of strength and health. With his great
determination of character, he secured
the removal of the Mission to the high
island of Kusaie or Strong's Island, 400
miles west of Fbon. There he established a Training school for teachers and
their wives, to which youths and older
scholars were conveyed annually, and
at the expiratton of their three or four
years term of training were returned to
their native islands, and many of them
located on the different islands as teachers.
Under the wise and efficient manage-

of Doctor and Mrs. Pease, their
system of conducting the Marshall Islands mission has proved eminently sue
cesslul. Those Islands are now far ad
vanced in the process of evangelization
The people have made great progress
in Christian living and in the habits of
civilization. Doctor Pease has generally been able to make an annual tjur of
the Islands in the Morning Star, locating teachers and preachers, collecting
new scholars, supervising the churches
and pastors. With his masterful char
acter and devoted labors, he has exercised a genuine Fpiscopal authority
over that people, and all have learned to
look up to him as a great spiritual aument

thority.

This immense influence of the missionary has been a cause of serious
jealousy on the part of the German authorities who have exercised the civil
government over the group for ten years
past, and they have thrown many obstacles in the way of Dr. Pease's labors.

The tension of their relations has been
severe. On his visit to the Governor's
headquarters on Jaluit last September,
a better understanding seemed to be se
cured. The journal of Mrs. Pease states
some of the facts in this connection.
The retirement—only temporary, it is
hoped—of Dr. Pease from his labors,
comes at a time when he can look back
upon ;i noble work brought to a condi
lion of successful progress. He and
Mrs. Pease will now apply themselves
to a revision of the Scriptures in that
language as well as the publication of
other books. It is hoped that another
missionary may at once be found to go
on with the Training School.
It is left
temporarily in the charge of Miss Hoppin, who is so well known in Honolulu.

Blue Laws." Petitions have been sent

it as violation of the Sabbath and distur-

bance of its quiet.
Such recreation and amusement on
Sunday undoubtedly strikes very differently according to their education the
minds of even sincerely religions persons.
To us it would be felt as a species of desecration. This may be prejudice. But
we venture to beg our friends the Daily
Editors to have a kindly respect for our
prejudices, and to go a little slow about
this matter. There is no urgency in it.
There is a large anil deservedly influential class of residents who feel just as we
do, and whose religions sensibilities
would be keenly hurt by the proposed
action. The present is a time of much
clash and collision of political and othei
sentiments. Is it not best to exercise
even a little extra courtesy towards one's
aeighbors, although their prejudices may
seem antiquated?
The working nun who it is alleged
need this entertainment which they can
not find timefor on week days (bow about
the frequent evening conceits?) will pro
bably not make outcry if they go a little
longer without their Sunday indulgence.
Hawaii has a noble record for Sunday
observance. No country or city suffers
in reputation or financial credit by such
a record. Real estate is as a rule of
greater value in towns where Sunday is
strictly kept than where it is not. We
venture to predict that the value of residence property in the vicinity of Thomas
Square would be seriously injured by the
proposed Sunday Conceits there.
It has been rather a matter of Surprise
to us to see our coteniporaiy Editors all
showing such a lack of historical infoj
mation as to talk about the "Connecticut
Blue Laws." If these gentlemen wen:
as well posted as Fditors ought to Be,
they would know that no such laws ever
existed upon the Statute Books of the
State of Connecticut or of any other
American State. The "Blue Laws"
were entirely the mendacious invention
of a vile Tory Clergyman named Peters
who thus revenged himself for being expelled from Connecticut.
Kducated men ought not to use this
"blue law" slang of vulgar anil ignorant
scoffers.

Report of the Morning Star, 1893--4.
The Morning Star sailed from Honolulu for Micronesia June 7th, and had an
uneventful passage of 17 days to Butaritari Misses Kinney anil Wilson were
passengers.
At Butaritari found the schooner
Hiram Bingham. Communicated with
Mr. Walkup; landed supplies to the
Hawaiian missionaries and sailed June
27th for Kusaie, where we arrived July
3d, and remained until the 12th.
Upon hearing that Mr. Snelling's
health was improving it was thought
best to land supplies before going west.
for the same reason it was decidetl to do
all of Mr. Rand's work before returning
to Kusaie from the west this differ! a
little from the schedule.
Landed Miss Wilson and the mission
supplies, and sailed the 12th for Mokil,
with Mr. Rand on board. We sailed
the 15th for Ponape, where we arrived
the next day; no one on board Avas
allowed to leave the colon* fot snj
other part of the island, either In the
ship or a boat, except Mr. Boivker; he
Avas allowed to go to Kiti for his Avife. I
asked the governor why the Stall was
not allowed to go to Kiti while other
vessels ivere; he saitl there was a
spe'eial prohibition from the governorgeneral at Manila against our mission
vessels until affairs between Spain and
the United States Aveie settled.
Sailed from Ponape on the 18th for
Ngatic; left there on the 21st for Ruk.
Avhere Aye anchored the 25th and remained until the 28th; landed Miss Kinney
and supplies; up to this time the ship
had to be pumped out every watch to
keep the fireroom bee from water.
Sailed from Ruk direct for I'ingelap
with Mr. Rand; were standing off and on
at Pingelap from August 9th till t'« p.m.
of the I Ith; then sailed for Mokil the
next day; landed Mr. Rand and his
supplies and sailed for Kusaie.
August 14th, during bad weather, we
toie a jib, tAvo staysails and an upper
topsail; arrived at Kusaie on the 18th:
took in water and sailed on the 24th for
the Marshall Islands with Dr. Pease
and family, Miss Hoppin and the Marshall Islands schools, in all S% souls on
board —bylaAv I am allowed to carry 29
August 26th, lightning
passengers.

struck the foretopgallant mast and chip water, also took in about 8 tons rock
ped out a three-sided piece about ten ballast. Sailed 20th tor Mokil with Dr.

inches long by one-half inch in thickness, doing no other damage,
Reached Jaluit September 2d, and remained until the 6th; Aye called at all
the Marshall group; at Ebon tAvice and
at Jaluit three times, and got back to
Kusaie Oct. 24th, one day over time.
At Jaluit purchased 15 tons Australian
coal at 50 marks a ton, $12.50; at
Kusaie spent 8 days fitting for the
Gilbert Islands trip, and sailed Nov. 2d;
bad much bad, squally Aveather, and Avere
Iti days on the passage to Butaritari, a
distance of 600 miles; did not find Mr.
Walkup theie as 1 had expected, but
found a letter asking me to Avait for him.
Nov. 23, took opportunity to send
mail yin Sydney; Mr. Walkup arrived
the 20th, and we sailed the -.'Bth to take
missionaries to the General Meeting,
having been in days at Butaritari; Aye
could not stem the current south of
Butaritari, so hail to go north about 150
miles to work east in order to reach
Marokei, which is 75 miles south-east
bom Butaritari, anil were 7 days doing
it.
Reached Tapiteuea Dec. 1 Ith with
people on board for the General Meeting;
the meeting lasted 8 days; we then
went up through the group again, landislands and
ing the people on their
leaving Mr. Walkup al Butaritari: Aye
sailed Jan. 2d. 1894, for Kusaie; from
this group 1 took Rev. Lonoand family,
Rev. Kanoho and daughter and Rev.
Maka and two boys for Honolulu; also
took foili native passengers-Mrs. Kanoho and Mrs. Maka have recently died.
The British Deputy Commissioner
for this ••roup, arrived at Butaritari Dec.
7th, to locate there temporarily. He pro
poses to make Apemama his headquarters in B few months time. It seems as
the one of the first things for a foreign
nation to do after taking up one of
these gr &gt;ups of islands is to in some
way hinder missionary work. I'he new
IaAV in r.-gard to trading seems as fair
for us .is for the trailers. Every one
trading on ship'or shore has to pay a
license of six pounds ($30.00) per year
for each and every island he trades at.
1 explained .mi case and wants to the
Commissioner hut he could make no
distinction between us and the traders.
Therefoie, 1 can no longer sell to HaAvaiian missionaries nor to the native
teachers without paying for a license
more tb in the trade Avould amount to.
The Hawaiians must order all their
goods from abroad in what the Commissioner calls "irregularly made out orders," or get them from the tradeis at
enormous prices. Mr Walkup can perhaps overcome that difficulty among his
teachers by paying them their salary in
trade goods.
Arrived at Kusaie Jan. 7th and remained until the 20th Avaiting for Dr.
Pease to get ready for the homeward
trip. Meantime filled up tanks with

Pease and family and Mrs. Eorbes and
daughter as passengers for Honolulu.
At Mokil, Jan. 23, avc found Mr. and
Mrs. Rand ready to go home, and Miss
Eoss to go to Ruk, so took all on board
and sailed for Ponape. There I was
immediately boardtd by an officer from
a Spanish warship.
He ordered that
no communication should be had with
shore in any way; when a canoe ap
preached the Stair a man-of-war boat
ordered it aAvay. An officer took me
ashore in a steam launch to see the
Goveinor.
I'he Governor first asked it
I had received any communication from
my government regarding Ponape affairs, I said no. He then said that the
American and Spanish Governments
had not agreed upon a settlement of affairs, and that his government had sent
orders prohibiting our mission vessel
from communicating with that island
until a settlement Avas made. I Avas
the only one who landed, and an officer
escorted me to and from the Government
house. Mr. Rand Avished very much
to sfieak with Henry Nanape, but was
not allowed either by word or letter.
Mr. Kand Avas very anxious to see some
of his people before leaving for home,
so at his request I ran down to Ngatic
'.HI miles, Avhere he spent six hours on
shore. Then Aye sailed on the 25th for
Ruk. Anchored at Ruk on the '27th.
Mrs. Logan ivas ready to go home, and
took passage with us. Miss Eoss went
ashore, and remained to assist in the
Girls' school. As the schooner Robert
Logon had not arrived trom Japan, Mr.
Snelling was anxious for me to visit the
Mortlocks and other islands at the west
of Ruk with the Star.
Considering the number of passengers
on my hands, and the dangerous naA'igation to the Avest of Ruk among isl
anils .and shoals Avhere I have not been,
I did not feel justified in going, so refused his request. I think I could have
made the trip safely, yet, I did not like
to undertake it ivithout any authority
when there was so little at stake on his
side and so much on mine. I think he
can hire one of the small trading
schooners reasonably for his work, and
advised him to do so.
Sailed for Honolulu Eeb. Ist.
The schooner Robert Logan had not
been heard from at that date. Arrived
in Honolulu March 22d afrer a passage
of 50 days, the longest the ship has ever
made from the islands.
By the loss of our topgallant mast we
ivere deprived of the use of two sails for
over a week. We were also delayed
some by sickness of engineer and fireman. I omitted to state that I gave
free passage to one man from Kusaie to
Honolulu. The ship is in general good
condition, and I hope will soon be ready
for another voyage.
Respectfully yours,
Geo. F. Garland.

RukMission.

In a brief interview with Mrs. Logan
the folloAving facts Avere gleaned additional to those stilted by her before the
Woman's Board.
There are about 5.0(10 inhabitants in
the island on which Anapauo Station is
located. It is about 15 miles in circuit.
There is scarcely any level ground. Cocoanuts and tfsh constitute a large part
of the people's food. For tAvo years
past they have relapsed into their heathen habit of warfare. Very feAv deaths
have resulted, but there is constant insecurity and disorder.
Mr. Snelling with the Robert Logan
had paid tAvo visits to coral islands 15(1
miles west, named Unan, Paloat, and
Sauk, where he had located three native
teachers trained in Ruk. His second
visit was made about one year ago, just
before the schooner was sent to Japan
tor repairs. She sailed on her return
last September, and has never been
heard from —is probably lost.
The Ruk Mission field is a large one,
embracing many populous islets whose
people speak the same language Avith
variations. It is a field of great promise,
if properly manned with missionaries,
and a vessel like the Logan for necea
sary visits to the outlying stations. It
should be promptly occupied in foice,
before the Spanish masters occupy it
in their own peculiar methods.

The Japanese steel white Cruiser

Dr. Pease relates the following jnc i.
of her sister ship the

has
been stationed here
which
missionary labors in the Marshall Is. in

1877, they called at the island of Butaritari the Noitherniost of the Gilbert Is.
The king of that island Avas lying sick,
and the Doctor was sent for to visit him.
The messengei. however, first conducted
him into a council of the old men. They
told him that their king Avas evidently
dying, and that they wanted Dr. Pease
to become their king. The Doctor is a
man of large si/t- and statue, corresponding to their ideas of royalty. They
Would fust make him a chief, and after
the king's decease, they would elect him
their sovereign. Dr. Pease explained to
them that he was engaged and under
obligation to go to Ebon, and labor there.
They thought he distrusted theii ability
to support him, and made many proini
ses of food and other advantages. All
these failing to move the Doctor from his
purpose, they drew a picture of a women,
and promised him many wives, eliciting
from him more peremptory declaration
of bis duty and intention to carry the
light to the Marshall [slanders, This
was ten years after Mr. Bingham had
begun pioneei work on Apaiang, one
hundred miles south. Butaritari is noiv
the most enlightened of the group, and
the seat ofthe British authority.

several months.
Her arrival tends to
increase the political excitement existing
among our 22,000 Japanese. A large
proportion of these are contract laborers
on the sugar plantations. They are particulaily excited in consequence of a demand by the Japanese government that
its subjects have the same privileges of
suffrage in Hawaii that are accorded to
citi/ens of oth. r countries. It is not probable that any qualifications adopted for
voters here Avoulil include many of the
Japanese residents./
