Here is my message to you; I am striving on my own. I preach to students and to those who are seeking some portion of God's word, which I have acquired. That which I have obtained from all of you is what I am teaching to the students. I have sought no other text; [Page 2 of 2] the word of God is what I preach to them. The will of our Lord is what I do. Mr. Chamberlain Oahu Kawaiahao I maintain his love in my heart and his patience with me while preaching of God's will. I repent my breaking of God's laws. I love Him. May we gain salvation through Jesus. James Kahuhu Notes: 1.
