The Friend is taken from the press to
make mention of the death of Mother
Parker, aged almost 102. She passed
away Sunday morning, September 29.
Mar) Elizabeth Parker was next to the
last of the old missionaries—Mother
Rice still is with her household on
Kauai. Mother Castle passed away last
March as the spring brought its new life
to the world. Mother Parker, with the
fall time of withered leaves and gathered
harvests goes home to meet her old and
Mother Castle and
very near friend.
Mother Parker were so intimate during
their lives that they were called David
and Jonathan by their families. Mother
I'arker came to the islands with the missionary hand May 1. 1833. In July, 1833,
the Parkers went to the Marquesas
Islands as missionaries, returning in
1834. Since that time Mother Parker
never left the islands, until this last journey opened for her eternal delight.

The large increase of interest among
the Hawaiians in the private schools
shows that the young Hawaiians who
are too old for the government schools

education or go under in the battle for

Apparently Kilo and the adjoining

by families closely connected with tlv
islands of the southern Pacific Ocean.
\',o other part of the Hawaiian Islands can give such an abundance of
legendary lore which is Polynesian
rather than Hawaiian. Almost every
valley in all the islands has its own
peculiar story, hut Hilo has the folk
lore of New Zealand. Samoa and Tahiti grafted into its valleys and along
its water courses.
Maui, the demi god—the HercuKs
of Polynesia—was thought to have his
home on the banks of the Wailukj
river, on which Hilo is located. His
canoe, from which he fished the islands
up from the ocean's depths, lies near
the mouth of the river changed hit i
stone. The Hilo natives tell the same
marvelous stories concerning him, as
are recorded in the folk lore of New
Zealand and many of the other Pacific
islands.
Ilina was a goddess of the ancient
Polynesians. Sometimes she wan
known as Hina and sometimes as Ina.
The names of Maui and Hina are prob
ably more prevalent in the differert
Polynesian groups than any others, except Wakca and Papa, who are usually
considered the first of the human race.
Ilina had her home in the cave under
the picturesque Rainbow Falls, neac
Hilo. Pele, the goddess of fire, is said
by the Rarotongans to have Mahuike,
the protector or guardian of fire
through all Polynesia, as her grandmother. Mahuike was also Maui's ancestor.

The Paao story of Hawaii and Samoa has its counterpart in Mew Zealand. From Paoo was descended the

powerful priest family of the Hawaiian Islands, whose descendants arc
among the most literary of the llawai
ians of today.
It would seem as if the southeastern
portion of the island of Hawaii had
been settled by a different set of Polynesians from those who finally found
a home in the islands of Oalni and
Kauai.

In their ranks there is unity, well defined aim, singleness of purpose, enthusiasm and they ad work together.
In our ranks there is none of these.
Instead, all is confusion. We are not
