Hawaii is yearly increasing its indebtedness to the American Missionary Association and through it to the Churches of the Mainland for their most generous aid. The Friend is very glad to voice the thanks of all the good people of the Territory, both to our i vcr-sea sister Churches and to the American Missionary Association. A Blow In The Face. During the past summer tourists traveling eastward from Japan via I lawaii to San Francisco have met a strange reception at the steamship office in Yokohama when pressing their desire to stop over at Honolulu. "We can guarantee no accommodations if you stop over. You are likely to be an old man before you get away from Hawaii." There is good authority for the statement that scores of travelers who had included these Islands in their itineraries abandoned their intention upon this information. We personally know of not a few who were thus turned away. And this during summer when tourist travel from the mainland is apt to be slack. If every person desiring to remain over one steamer during the months of June, July and August had been encouraged to do so by the through lines and if these lines had arranged to give accommodation first to stop-overs and second to other travelers, two results would have been secured, hirst the absolute inadequacy of the through lines to meet the actual demands of travel between the mainland and Hawaii would have been made so much clearer that the day of two fast local boats of the size say of the Korea or China would have been materially hastened. Second the stop-over habit on the part of the ever enlarging round the world trade from east to west and on the part of travelers from Asia would have been vastly encouraged. One Great Objective. The time has come for Hawaii to plan for two elements in this latter class, first the missionaries, and second wealthy, world seeing Asiatics. It would be good business for some far sighted friends of better things to found a rest house upon the heights about Honolulu, where at reasonable rates tired missionaries might recuperate before poing to the mainland for the strenuous work demanded nowadays of those returning from their fields of labor. The largest steamship lines have found it a paying policy to cultivate the friendship of the great missionary societies. The business is a good one from every point of view. \\ ith a little elTort a fair proportion of missionaries could be induced to make a stay of several months here for complete The Pacific world has one center, Hawaii. I.it us plan to reenforce Nature by en- rest. center. Missionaries have been suggested above. couraging the development of this have influential friends and are apt to tell out their impressions of a place like Honolulu where it will do most good. As a men: advertisement the scheme would pay. lint there are far higher values. Tin plan if well carried out, including the serious presentation of its timeliness and importance to the Executive Committees of the great societies so as to enlist their interest in having their missionaries rest here, would bring hither men and women who would contribute to the higher life and culture of our people more than can easily be calculated. Hawaii would naturally become the moral and religious center of the Pacific world. In time it would be possible to organize periodical conferences on great themes affecting the highest interests of the nations bord.Tii g this ocean that would help mould public opinion the earth over. We can do it it we 'All. What do our Christian capitalists say? The scheme involves no vast outlay. Secure a tract of land convenient to the city whose very site spells Rest, erect a few modest cottages thereon with a central dining hall under proper management and then trytor the missionaries. In a few years every one of the thousands who nowcross the Pacific annually en route to and from the great mission fields of Asia would want to plan for a shorter or longer stop at Honolulu. What of the Rest of Us. \\ c who live here and those who come to us from the Mainland expecting to go no farther west must face the inevitable —the through lines are to be no longer our dependence. We must have facilities of our own. One steamer will not answer because the freight dependence of such a steamer, tropical fruit, especially bananas, demands at least a bi-weekly if not weekly service. But one steamer at first of size sufficient to win the sea-timid to attempt the journey would make a good beginning. If within the short memory of even young people the West Indies banana trade lias sprung from comparatively nothing to a vast commerce demanding consolidated lines of steamers capitalized at $100,-000.000. fostering also a vast tourist traffic towards points not central in any great through mundane line of travel, Hawaii ought tube able to make a bi-weekly first class steamer sen -ice pay on a freight basis of tropic products. We who live here and all who come to Hawaii as a terminal point from the Mainland would then be amply provided for. The well known missionary motto may without irreverence be adapted to this Mid-Sea Paradise. Expect great tilings and attempt gteai things far Hawaii- Asiatic World Trotters. .Asia as well as America has its men of wealth. They are beginning to feel the sting of the travel bee. Careful students of traffic problems are being more and more impressed with the steadily increasing number of Chinese. Japanese, Hindus, Persians and other Asiatics who wanting to see the world are registering their names upon the first class passenger lists of transAtlantic and trans-Pacific steamers. I lawaii wants them to stop over Here is work for the Promotion Committee. If that committee can persuade the through lines to give stop-over passengers the preference and will then enter the advertising field by getting good literature on Hawaii attractively printed in the various Asiatic languages into the hands of people of wealth and education, these Islands will before long become a favorite rendezvous for these classes. It goes without saying that such visitors will add to the ptcturesquesness and interest of such conferences and conventions as Fishmarket Future. The Niagara question faces Hawaii. hat question is beauty versus pracItical utility. The nation settled it hi favor of beauty though it made certain concessions to practical utility, h decreed that where the ends of practical Utility could be secured without any sacrifice of beauty. those ends might be favored by public permission. The ground for this solution of the question was the higher utility of The battle was bitterly beauty. fought by great corporate wealth on one hand and by lovers of the ideal on the other. The party of ideals won. Let it be so in Honolulu. Mr. Robinson's scheme of a welcome park on the site of the fishmarket Is one of those ideal dreams of beauty which now and then in history God makes possible to a muncipality. There is no other location for such a unique symbolic manifestation of Hawaii's most distinguishing characteristic—hospitality. A coal depot may be placed elsewhere. The park must go there or nowhere. To �THE FRIEND one- entering the harbor now that the new wharf is nearly completed, the plan of Mr. Robinson seems little less than an inspiration. As a mere business asset i. will mean more to the Territory than its cost a hundred fold. The li 1jie has come when it is clear that the white laborer is not the man we are likely to attract hither, but home builders, who wish to spend their days of ripened endeavor in a perfect climate after the chief Struggle to get a livin,!> is over, will and must seek Hawaii in ever larger numbers. Such people arc profoundly impressed by appeals of beauty. To such it is the part of wisdom that Honolulu should cater. A few months ago one of the leading financiers of America, who had been San Francisco's staunchest friend since the earthquake fire, expressed his keen disappointment because civic spirit had so died out in the city that few of the splendid improvements made possible by the calamity, were being planned. We have natural advantages which enable us to make Honolulu the most beautiful city on earth. Let us not sacrifice them. Our location renders our future as a commercial center sure. ( )ne coal yard cannot imperil it Let Honolulu determine 10 put the Robinson scheme through in all its details and begin with the lishmarket at once. The Federal building was suffered to seek an inferior position but that is not a vit;d loss. ( >ther public buildings will cluster about Government Park and the loss will he chiefly that of the Nation in its failure to secure a commanding site for its organized activities here. But the sacrifice of the fishmarket would be vital and irrevocable. Changes. Following close upon the departure of Rev. 1!. Y. Bazata from I'aia where Rev. K. P>. Turner was quickly installed as successor, the news comes of the resignation of ReV. X- A. Buchanan of Kohala. Mr. Buchanan has done good solid work for three years and will be missed throughout the entire Kohala district. He has been especially faithful in furthering the interests of Hawaiian. Chinese and Japanese Churches in his neighborhood and has conducted a successful Ministers' Institute ever since he came lo the Islands. The resignation will take effect in February. Mrs. Buchanan lias been a tower of strength in Kohala Seminary and will leave a large place to he filled by her successor in the manse. Rev. John h". Dodge completed his service at Kahului, Maui, on October 31. He has achieved a 5 notable work and all who know him inducements and settle permanently in regret exceedingly that questions of the Territory is uncertain. health and home rendered it impossiThe second method is to solicit ble for him to remain longer. Rev. Albert Krdman, 1). D., will supply Kahului statedly until a permanent pastor be secured. Meantime the appointment of .Mr. Robert Law as principal in Lahaina takes thither a most active laborer who is untiring in his efforts to do good, Raldwin I louse finds in him a most helpful friend. With the coming of Messrs. Shimamura for I'aauhau, Kikuchi for Puuneue, Shimamori for Honolulu Christian Club, Ito for Malaweli and Takahashi for Kauai the Hawaiian Roard now occupies all but three or four of its Japanese centers throughout the group. Only the dearth of money keeps it from manning the remaining fields. Its policy of aiding Mr. Kozuki's Training School in Tokyo has furnished it all the evangelists and teachers it can support. If any large minded friend desires to help pay the debt which Hawaii owes to this school for the men it iias sent here, a gift of $500 for a much needed' building would be most timely. Meantime we ought to find at least $10,000 more per annum for our regular work. ( hir Hawaiian Department reports the deposition from the ministry of James I'avis and William K.

Two procedures for carrying into effect President Roosevelt's famous dictum "Americanize Hawaii" have been devised. Roth of them arc sound. The first is to bring in American labor. Brilliant failure has attended every effort to realize this and it has petered out into the endeavor to domicile any sort of white labor that can he cajoled into coming. The latest importation* it is hoped will remain, though from time to time drafts are made upon our Island Portuguese. These and the Spaniards who have been introduced into Hawaii have proved a most useful and reliable addition to our population. Refore the term "American labor" can be applied to them, however, they must be thoroughly inoculated with the spirit of the Nation. How large the proportion will be of those who will resist mainland wage American farmers to come to Hawaii, take up land and devote themselves to the solution of the problem of diversified products. Thus far little or no success has attended this scheme. Soil, climate and possibilities for raising enormous supplies of tropical fruits are all here but the small mainland farmer prefers the certainty of large returns where he now is, to the risks of transportation and the difficulty of learning new agricultural tricks in Hawaii. There is a third perfectly feasible plan about the success of which there seems little doubt. This plan was pointed out recently to a resident of Hawaii on a visit east by a Mainlander of large experience in the movements of population throughout the States. This student of American life begun by laying down the proposition that the number of people in the \orthern States who have amassed sufficient wealth to enable them by middle life to desist from the strenuous chase after dollars is simply enormous. "Many of these," saiil he, "either are childless or have started their children in successful careers. They dislike exceedingly the rigors of the northern winter and are determined to seek a genial climate where they may live comfortably, have time for self culture and expand their chief energies in building up civic and religious institutions worthy of their best efforts. Southern California- is full of such people. They have made that part of the State a credit and glory to the Union so that with its ideals of good order, civic righteousness and sobriety it is coming to dominate the northern section. But Southern California is not like Hawaii an ideal climate and this class is constantly increasing in number so that there is alia, adv a large proportion looking for exactly what the Islands have to offer. If the question of adequate transportation were only settled you would find these people docking to Honolulu and Ililo in constantly greater numbers. They are the best people you can haw They will bring money enough to own their own homes and to live in modi-rate comfort. They will be sufficientIv impressed with Hawaii's fruit possibilities to develop them as a side issue and thus will attract others who will make this their business. Being people of ideals they will tone up your citizenship amazingly. If you Islanders would only press the question of first class steamer accommodations to a solution, your problem of American- �6 THE FRIEND izing Hawaii would soon be solved." These sentiments of a keen-eyed observer of American life deserve careful consideration. If as uuich alteuti in and money could be directed to seem ing adequate facilities for travel to and from the Mainland ;is have been given to the problem of bringing laborers here, there is reason to believe that the Territory would soon attract this class of hard working successful nieti and women who hold the theory that when a competence has been secured, the list of life should be devoted to higher things in a climate which makes smaller drain upon vital resources than lint of the Northern States. Let us get afler these people. With them to help the problem of Americanizing this Territory will soon be solved. I). S. RANGE LIGHTS BY JOHN G. WOOLEY. I am very sorry to learn that some uninformed, or ill-informed, or misinformed readers of these articles have jumped to the conclusion thai n:v faith in prohibition as the best legislative means of dealing with the liquor traffic had been shaken, or abandoned. Such a conclusion is unwarranted by any word that I have written ami exactly contrary to the fact, flu- superiority of prohibition over ail) system of regulation has been proved repeatedly. Rut a circular which I have just received from the Honorable Charles P.. I.ittlelield, member of Congress from Maine and chairman of the Judiciary Committee of the Mouse of Representatives presents the case of his Slate as compared to that of MasSa chusetta so lucidly and thoroughly as to amount to a demonstration, or near it. Mr. I.ittlelield, as is well known, is a Republican party leader, quite above suspicion of variableness or shadow of scratching his ticket and as free as one of his own pine trees from the manners or methods of a fanatic. His attention was called to an article in a Boston paper in which ex Governor Garvin of Rhode Island disparag ed the Maine law as Compared to the license system in Massachusetts, saving that "if the prosperity of a community is rightly measured by it*- in crease of wealth and population, then Maine ranks as one of the least pros perous of all the States." Mr l.ittlcfiehl replied as follows: 'I think Maine can successfully stand the test laid down Inasmuch as Massachusetts has been referred to by way of comparison, and: as she is popularly understood to be at least a fair representative of i\e\ clop ment in the line of moral, social, and material welfare, thus giving an exact ing standard. 1 will confine nivself to that State for comparisons. All of the L.L.D. statistics to which I shall refer, unless otherwise specified, are from the United Slates census, when- they can be easily verified. They have the advantage of being disinterested, and of all being taken on the s line basis. The United States during the last decade increased in population 20.7 per cent.. Massachusetts 25.3 per cent., and mc 5 per cent, The percentage of increase in Massachusetts was a little less than in the preceding decade. Maine's, about three times as much, 5 per cent, against 1.9 per cent. It is a very pregnant fact in this connection that, while Maine's population in 1900 was only 694,466, there wen- then liv ing in other States 216,551 persons who were born in Maine. It is true tint Massachusetts made great prog r. ss, but Maine fuinisln-d for her 98,000 and received ill return only 15.000, gh illg from her small population more than six times as many as she received. In any fair analysis Maine's vital contribution of some nf her most valuable material |o her sister Stales must be considered, and when given its due weight it will clearly appear thai she is by no means "one of the least pro-. permis of all the Stales" from th< stnndpi lint 1 if populate vi. Whether nr not a community has prospered during a given period, from the material point of view suggested by Mr. Garvin, cleari) depends uikmi the accumulation of wealth per capita, and its increase rir dei rvase, ami th< n Maim- easily outstrips Massachusetts, nh her per capita wealth in 1850 was while in 1000 it was $982. an increase of four and one ball" t mi s. Ma chusctts bad her capita in 1850 $577, an increase of only and in i«;oo idness per capita $10, and Massachusetts has increased hers hv the same amount. The town of Raymond, Maine, is relatively typical of the State's material development. Prior to 1851, with 1.U)2 souls, with a valuation of about $150,000, per capita $12(1, i; is estimated from actual sales taken from old account books that the value nf liquor consumed in every period of eighteen years was more than the entire valuation of the town. Today no liqlior-tax is paid in the town: and. while the population has decreased t > 823, the valuation has increased 1 1 $218,072, or $265 per capita, doubling ii- per capita wealth. The population Massachusetts iii 1000 was 2,805,346, in round numbers four times that of Maine, and in the analysis to follow, hi ol order to stand on a level with Main-, that proportion should lv- maintained. Ibis marked relative increase of wealth in excess of Massachusetts is emphasized when attention is called ,0 the fact that this increase was made under relatively decidedly adverse conditions. || is a well known fact 1 hit f.'trniing in New England, and especially in Maine, where the disadvan lages are probably the greatest, is n it occupation marked by rapid monev11.iking, however 111 mil there may be t< commend it front other points of view.

While unattractive for large profits, farming would scent to be twice as profitable in Massachusetts.

Nobody cares to limit the extent of the advance which the next legislature will make in this matter. Mr. W'oolley lias wonderfully stirred the Hawaiian people in his few address and there is a big educational campaign under foot. There are leaders that are responding to a degree that would amaze any one not acquainted with the substratum of righteousness in the Hawaiian people. There is no question but a moral issue is safer in the hands of the Hawaiian electorate than it would be if left to the "haoles." The fact is the white people have generations of "it cannot be done" and "you cannot legislate the people into morality" back of them, besides that they are too much involved with the liquor interests from a purely dollars and cents point of view.

JAPANESE GOOD NATURE. As the traveler from the Occident reaches the Japan Bridge, Tokyo, said to be the central point of the Empire's busy activities, he will hear the bright looking conductor of the electric car cry out: "Xihon Hashi dc gozaimasu!" "VVasureru mono no nai yo ni!" "Here we are at the Japan Bridge I" "Be careful you don't leave anything behind !" So it is at every stopping place, �THE FRIEND 10 explicit directions, kindly care on the part of the official, and a polite regard for every passenger, the rich and the poorest alike. The pleasant laughing good nature, found at all times, even when a Westerner would be very much irritated, is a delightful characteristic of the Japanese people. For illustration, one day on Tokyo's busiest street ear, there were two women, evidently from the country, one had a baby with her, and one had a very large bundle, and also two children. They seemed to be in doubt as where to get off, and stopped the ear, but the conductor told them very kindly that they were not yet at the place they wanted. After a little, they felt sure of their destination, and so stopped the car again and with some difficulty, bundles and children were all safely landed on the street. Then they seemed in doubt again, and asked the conductor once more, he very patiently explained. Finding they were mistaken, he very good naturedly and laughingly helped them on again, bag and baggage. No one seemed irritated at the long delay. Other passengers were laughing and enjoying it all. I his is but a little example of the hearty good* nature found on every side. The Japanese certainly seem to be a very happy people. Every where you see the children playing and laughing- In all their hurry and bustle of a more modern life, they have not yet learned to worry and fuss over the loss of a few minutes. In the new life coming so fast to the Orient, may they take only what is best from the West, keeping all those pleasant qualities, which make many parts of the F.ast so interesting and fascinating.

I have had to tell a woman that she was a widow, and that her children were fatherless, because her husband, gentle and loving and clean-living, had been tempted to take "a drop of alcohol" at sea, and had fallen over the side, drunk, and gone out into a drunkard's eternity. I have bad to clothe children and feed them when reduced to starvation, because alcohol had robbed them of a natural protector and all the necessities of life-1 have had to visit in prisons the victims of crime, caused as directly in honest men by alcohol as a burn is caused by falling into the fire. Why do I not want alcohol as a beverage in a country wdiere cold is extreme, exposure is constant and physical conditions are full of hardship? Simply because I have seen men go down in the struggle for want of that natural strength which alcohol alone had robbed them of. The fishermen that I live among are my friends, and I love them as my brothers, and I do not think I am unnecessarily prejudiced or bigoted when I say that alcohol is inadvisable, after one has seen it robbing his best friends of strength, honor, reason, kindliness, love, money and even life. During twenty years' experience on the sea and on the snow in winter—and experience coming not on the top of the kind of life which would naturally fit one to meet these conditions, but rather after an upbringing in soft places—l have found that alcohol has been entirely unnecessary for myself. I have been doctoring sick men and women of every kind and I have found that I can use other drugs of which we know the exact action and which we can conlrol absolutely with greater accuracy in cases of necessity for stimulating the heart. I contend we can get just as good results without it, and I always fear its power to create a desire for itself. It is not necessary for happiness, for I have known no set of men happier and enjoying their lives more than the crews of my own vessel, and the many, many fishermen who, like ourselves, neither touch, taste nor handle it. I would be willing to allow that the manufacture of it gives employment, that the sale of it is remunerative, that a desire for it can be easily created. But the desire for it has to be "cultivated," and once cultivated the "market" is certain to open up—for the desire becomes an insatiable, uncontrollable lust in many. I have no contro- versy with anything that gives employand circulates money, and should possibly be satisfied if after all the good grain and good foodstuffs had been fermented and converted into thin particular kind of poison, instead of being poured down men's throats, it were poured into the ocean—where at least it would do no harmI have seen men robbed in many ways, but they have been able by the help of (md to wipe out any lasting results of such transient losses. But the robberies of alcohol are irremediable. I buried in a lonely grave on a projecting promontory, far down the coast of Labrador, a young girl of eighteen. ment She was some one's daughter and some one's sister. I had taken her aboard our little hospital ship for the last week of her life. She should have been alive today, but she had no desire to live. All that could possibly make life worth living for her had been robbed from her through the means of alcohol, and she could not face the home-going again. If I ever have the Opportunity given to me to say, a word at any time or in any place which could help to inhibit the use of alcohol as a beverage, so long as I can stand upon my feet I shall he proud to get up and speak it.— Pilgrim Teacher.

"We are gathered here to note with love the passing of the last survivor of the earlier missionaries who planted the Faith of our Lord Jesus Christ in these Islands.

Though in great feebleness, she continued cheerful to always centered upon her Savior, and upon the salvation of His people. Her faith had continued unshaken through all these years, and her love unchilled.

Arriving here first in May, 1833i the Parkers sailed two months later to the Marquesas Islands in company with the Alexanders and Armstrongs, returning here ten months later after much trying experience among the cannibals. A son was born to them there, who has now been for forty-four years the pastor of this historic church, and is grown venerable in our Lord's service. The visit to Kancohc, of which I have just spoken, must have been very near to the date of the wonderful revival which pervaded all these islands in 1837-8, and which was extremely powerful in my, father's field of Ewa, Where nearly one thousand converts were added to our Church in a single year. I particularly recall a very stirring "protracted meeting" when MrParker and Rev. Lowell Smith of Honolulu joined Mr. Bishop in touring his district, all of them flaming with a Spiritual ardor which awed my childish mind. A manifest Divine Power rested ttiioii them and upon all the people. I know that Mrs. Parker shared to the utmost in that spiritual uplifting, and she continued through her ripe" years a woman of high and habitual spiritual exaltation. I should think it was after 1870, while the Parkers were occupying a cottage in-; r Mr. Castle's, that I chanced to be present at a conference bjtvvcen Mrs. CastJ£ and Mrs. Parker in which spiritual thinking was prominent, and was deeply impressed with the great absorption of the minds cf both of those mothers in such thoughts as well as with the elevation of their views. The ()berlin Evangelist was favorite reading with them. In early life in Connecticut. Mrs. Parker had been an intimate friend of Charlotte Fowler, afterwards Mrs. Dr. Dwigbt Baldwin, who preceded the Parkers here by two years, and renewed their intimacy a year later, after the return from the Marquesas. It is a family tradition of the Baldwins how one morning Mrs. Baldwin laid an extra plate on the breakfast table, declaring when questioned, that Mrs. Parker was about to arrive. She actually came in from a schooner, before the meal was through. Some inexplicable telepathy iiad carried a message from one friend to the other. has been a choice privilege for this •istian community to have until this : day still abiding with us one from It among those earlier missionaries whose work and experience began the Church of Christ in Hawaii- Mother Parker was a most intimate member of that early circle of Missionary Mothers and lathers, who used annually in General Meeting to gather in conference in that memorable old school house near this edifice, the limghams, Chamberlains, Clarks, Thurstons, Tinkers, Dibbles, Greens, and many others of revered and familiar names, who wrought in the Lord's wonderful works in planting and cherishing His Church in Hawaii. It remains for us their descendants o consecrate ourselves with renewed zeal and fidelity to the Service of the great Work which Cod has planted and cherished here in mid-ocean to be an abiding light and testimony. The fathers pass on ; we all soon follow ; but the Word of the Lord abideth forever. [On the one hundred and first anniversary of her birth Mother Parker stated to two of her guests that her early home had been in Xew Haven. After finishing her education at school another young lady and she applied through their pastor to the President of Vale College to be permitted to t ike the college course. The matter was referred to the proper authorities, discussed and the answer was a COurteojs declination. However several of the professors privately informed the two young ladies that they could quietly slip into their class rooms and take a silent part in the exercises. They did so and in this way perstud several subjects successfully, took their examinations and acquitted themselves creditably.—l'd.] BOOK REVIEW. The Ministry of David Baldwin. An interesting story. Not that the book is a literary success, for artistically it is tasteless- It is distinctly not a piece of good writing and more than once the dialog becomes wofully flat. It contains no specially attractive character portraiture. There is not a little exaggeration. We have never witnessed or heard of such occurrences at Church meetings as ate depicted, though it is possible the scenes drawn have transpired. The author. Prof. Henry T. Colestock, sets out to give some reasons why SO many people have drifted out of sympathy with Christian Churches and also why there is something of a dearth in students for the The Ministry of David Baldwin. A Novel by Henry Thomas Colestoek. T. Y. Crovvell & Co., New York. N. Y. $1.50. * ministry. The reasons which he adduces are two, first opposition to innovations in method and second conservatism in theology. In order to render his contention more graphic he easts his argument into the form of a novel. In so far as the narrative is a rescript of his own experience it is valuable. Even those who dissent from his point of view would do well to read the book with open mind. If the Church is to become all things to all men in the Pauline sense, it must study all shades of opinion. Prof. Colebrook urges that in an age when good books on religion sell close to the head of the list, when there is more intense interest in religion problems than ever before in history, when leading men of science have become the great apologists of Christian faith, and when the general life of mankind reflects so much of tin- Mind of Christ, the Church in order to maintain its leadership must grant full liberty to its ministers and must welcome tin- results of reverent scholarship. Many Christians will both agree with the Professor and hold that a large section of the Church does the very things for which he pleads. Some Churches do not ami as long as this is so books like this one will be written and read. Hawaii Cousins Notes from Mother Parker's letters Mother Chamberlain prepared by Martha Chamberlain These letters have no year dates and but few of them have the month given. The Parkers arrived in Honolulu, May ist, 1833, on their way to Marquesas, and returned the following war. They went, soon after, to Kancohe and the first letters were probably written in 1X34.
