I. That the mercies of God to the different members of the station and also his smiles on its genral [sic.] con­ cerns demands their most devout acknowledgement and warmest gratitude. II. Health of the members of the station.' The health of Mr. Shepard^ while lie resided 'at Lahaina was perhaps a little better than during the latter part of last year, so that he was able to perform some labour in copying Manu­ scripts for the press &c. Mr. Richards was attacked with a severe disease on the first Monday in March by which he was soon brought to a state of extreme debility, but through the mercy of him who [sic] doth not afflict willingly no^grieve the children of men, he is now far restored though still quite unable to enter on the duties of his station. With these exceptions, health has genrally [sic.] prevailed among the members of the station. III. General labours. In addition to those who regularly occupy the station Messrs. Tinker and Shepard^ have resided there the last half of the year. The labours common to the different stations have been regularly performed during the year. During the season in �Report of Lahaina Station which, the whaling ships were present, Mr. Tinker preached regularly every Sabbath-in English and in several instances to large audiences. A religious conference has also been held during the last half of the year which has usually been attended by about eight foreign residents one of whom is a church member— another is propounded, a third gives consid­ erable evidence of piety and others are serious and attentive. During the first half of the year there was preaching at Wailuku seven sabbaths, one sabbath at Honuaula and several sabbaths at Kanapali. During the last four months in consequence of the great assemblage of people in Lahaina from the back parts of the Island there have been regularly . two or sometimes three congregations on the sabbath. In consequence of this and Mr. R ’s sickness the station at Wailuku has been entirely neglected. IV. Labours assigned by the Mission. Of what was unfinished Lsic] the at the last meeting^, Epistles of James, Peter, John, Jude and the book of Revelations have been reviewed and put to press. The Geography has also been reviewed— some additions made and put to press. The book of Numbers though more than half of the year in our hands is only about half reviewed. Nothing more has been added to the Gamut, of musick, as it is concluded to publish the tunes here at the Islands and it must be a considerable time before they can be prepared. The review of Mark has not been commenced. �-3- Report of Lahaina Station Of the new assignments at the last meeting, the last 74 Psalms are translated. Nine chapters also from the hook of Judges. The Sermons which Mr. Richards was requested to collect and prepare are not collected. Different members of the mission were early requested to furnish one or two sermons each but only two were received. The sickness of Mr. R. and an unhappy occurrence in the church whieh will hereafter be alllraxlMi to and the removal of Mr. Andrews to take charge of the High School are the only reasons to be offered why the appointments made by the Mission have not been more perfectly fulfilled. V. Increase and state of the church. During the year there have been added to the church in Lahaina sixty five persons and-there-have been three deaths. into the church 153. 142. Whole number?; received Whole number now living in the church Thirty six more now stand propounded. It should also be added that on the 15th Oct. the sacrament was administered to those members of the church who reside at Wailuku and the names of 22 more proclaimed as preparatory to the establish­ ment of a church at that place. The sickness of Mr. R. and other circumstances have prevented carrying the design into execution. In the general state of religion there has been nothing unusual. The church as a Taody have as far as is known in a �Report of Lahaina Station good degree adorned their profession. There has however been one case of discipline of a distinguished member of the church which for a ’ season overwhelmed the station with dark­ ness. It is believed however that the wandering shee.prH©.1i only heard the voice of the shepherd but knew it and returned. No general evil appeared to result from the example of the unhappy wanderer, but the great headr of the church has no doubt overruled it for good. VI. Marriages. During the year there have been solemnized at the station 464 marriages making the whole number 2860. VII. Schools. The following is a list of the schools. Kahoolawe are 56 scholars. On Maui 11,170 On Lanai 496. On On Molokai 1,173. Total 12,895. VIII.Miss Ogden teaches an infant school of 160 scholars every morning from 6 to 9 o'clock, 20 of whom are writers. On Monday of each week attends a class of 63 in Ninauhoike. Also a school of 30 in writing and arithmetick on Tuesdays Wednesdays and Thursdays.' �[1833] JLahaina Report of StationJ Lahaina June 1st 1833 Number of marriages during the past year 1 221 Readers in all the schools connected with the station Admitte [sic] to the church on their own profession 42 persons On Recommendation 3 Candidates Translation finished. Review partial. �As to stitcliing Mr. R. says that for himself he should prefer to have it done at Honolulu for this reason— detention and danger of mistake.if not done there. He thinks however that Mr. Shepard's time should not be taken up in stitching: he might superintend the work. If books are folded and gathered at Honolulu and put up in such a manner that a bun­ dle may be put into the hands of a native so as to be stitched without danger of mistake the objection would be nearly obviated. �Lahaina, ■ '6 J Since the examination in the fall Mr. R. has given away of the Ka pi-a-pa for the purpose of establishing new schools on Maui, Molokai and Lanai the number of 6512. There have also been distributed by Kekauonohe on Molo­ kai a good many books perhaps 400 of books left by Kalaimoku. The increase of scholars Mr. R. is of opinion has been greater than of half the number of books given out. In all the Schools are perhaps 2500 who may be called readers: more than this number probably would be able to find out the meaning of a new book. Meetings conducted by natives. A few natives, church members go out occasionally to the neighboring villages to address the people on the Sabbath. The halawai of Saturday evening is of church members only and persons propounded for admission. A Thursday afternoon meeting is numerously attended all who choose may be present and it is commonly more fully attended than the Wednesday lecture conducted by M r . Richards. The Congregations on Sabbath morning average from 1500 to 2000 in the afternoon not so large. There is at present no special attention to religion Belonging to the Church 19 Propotinded, 18 hopeful persons who will probably be brought forward before long, from 5 to 10 �Report of the Lahaina Station For the year ending May 50th 1854 In commencing the report of our station it becomes us to speak with gratitude of the health, with which Providence has blessed the most of our number while at the same time we recognize his afflictive dispensation in the continued debility of those who were feeble at the last general meet­ ing. No change has occurred in relation to our health worthy of special remark. The general business of the mission has been Conducted according to the system common at the stations. There has been regular preaching only 5 times a week, vis'.- twice on the sabbath and once on Wednesday, together with the month­ ly concert at its regular return. There has also been_ a church meeting regularly on Sat­ urday eve, conducted principally by the missionaries, but mad-e a familiar meeting for questions & remarks by members of the church. The bible class has during the year consisted of memibers of the church only recitingon Sunday noon, the verses of.the week, according to the verse a day system, and the members of the church) have been employed as teachers to hear those out of the church who commit the verse a iday, and recite the men on Thursday and women on Friday. The whole.number of those whose names are enrolled as com­ mitting the verse a day is about 900, but the avarage [sic] �Report of the Lahaina Station — 1854 number of those who attend is about four or five hundred. The church has also been divided into classes of about 30 persons each who meet in sepparate [sic] places on the evening after the sabbath^ for conversation, particularly on the subjects of the sermons, though other subjects are not excluded. These classes are attended in rotation by some of the missionaries^ and as far as our observation has ex­ tended^ has appeared to have a very good influence^ affording as it does a very good opportunity to make more peiss’oiial application than can well be done in public & fixing more in the mind what might otherwise be quickly forgotten. There has however been a change in the meetings which will probably be prefered as a permanent arrangement. That which has hitherto been considered as a bible class is now enlarged^ a.& as to embrace all who commit the verse a day. They meet immediately after the morning service on the sabbath & all the recitations take place under the immediate supervision of the missionaries instead of being left to the natives as on the other days of the week. A new meeting is established on Tuesday for the purpose of questioning the people on the subjects of the sermon during the week. Those who attend the class-meeting on Sunday eve are the assistant teachers in this meeting. It is but just established & whether it will be permanent or not is uncertain. �Report of the Lahaina Station— 1854 Some special exertions have been made during the year to collect together that class of persons who have been openly immoral & have kept alojfif from all instruction. It was found easy to get them together & they assembled weekly for some length of time, but evils were discovered not un­ like those which have attended the kapu meetings & they were discontinued, though quite a number who then commenced learning the verse a day & attending meeting on the sabbath still continue to be punctual. During the year 18 persons have been received to the church out of 42 who were propounded near two years ago, all of whom were thought to give evidence at the time they were propounded & still appear well. Of the 7 church members who were suspended at the time of the last general meeting, two appear truly & have been restored. The other 5 still stand on. negative ground, being neither openly unchristian, nor yet exhibiting sincere repentance. In addition to the above, there have been during the year 6 new cases of discipline. Kapiu— for adultery drunkenness & apostacy. Kekuelike— for intemperance. Kaunakakai— for intemperance and adultery. Kamainalsu— for general unchristtsan deportment & contempt of those who went to converse ’with him. Maluoo & Hahee— for adultery. �-4Report of the Lahaina Stat-i-on «~-1854 Of the above Kapiu appears perfectly incorrigible. All the rest have made public confession & Kekuelike has given such evidence of penitence that he is restored to church fellowship. The rest give various evidence of sin(sic) eerty in their confession, some being almost satisfactory while others are far from it. The whole number now sus­ pended from the church is 10. There are others who are far from exhibiting a Christian spirit, tho. they do not them pursue such a course as to lay toms- open to discipline. But even while the church has been in such a state, (sic) it is to be hoped that the truth has been produced some beneficial effects on those without. The number of those who have attended on a preached word, has not been greatly diminished: & the attentive countenance has often afforded encouragement to the preacher. A few ’show by their countenance on the sabbath— by their constant & persevering attention on all the means of grace within their reach & by their conversation too that they are deeply interested in the cause of religion, & we have little reason to doubt but trhat the all seeing eye perceives among them a goodly number who are Israelites indeed. The state of the church however we feel to be deeply afflicting & while we would look perseveringly to it its great head,.who we hope will still acknowledge it as his 9 own, we feel also that we need the prayers as well ks the advice of our brethren in the mission. �Report of the Lahaina Station— 1854 On the subject of schools we have not much to say. They have been far from being prosperous the past year, especially the school for adults. The schools for child­ ren have done as well as could be expected considering the character of their teachers. It is believed there are very few children on this part of the Island who do not attend school apart of the time. The children in Lahaina while they have enjoyed superior advantages, have also superior temp­ tations to encounter. During a lacgg portion of the year their attention is materially taken off from their school by the ships & not a few of the promising scholars enlist as sailors & thus all they learn in school is turned into the worst channel & they return from sea without any taste for fur­ ther instruction except such as is to be obtained in com­ pany like their own. But we proceed to speak of our out stations of which we have 25, Kanapali & Oloalu. The meeting house in Kanapali is 9 or 10 miles from Lahaina will accommodate lg> tc3 1500 people & is pretty well filled when it is known that there will be preachihg. Preaching has been maintained regularly every other sabbath.at the out stations during the intervals of shipping. At other times they have been supplied with native speakers from Lahaina. Kanapali with an adjoining district has a population of nearly 4000 souls and affords abundant encouragement for missionary effort. Oloalu & aukumehame are- small districts so situated that the people about 1000 in number can ‘ ane'et �-6Report of the Lahaina Station— 1854 conveniently at one place to hear the gospel. There is no meetinghouse but the head man & people are anxious to build a house more durable & permanent than the ordinary grass houses. The place for meeting is 7 or 8 miles from Lahaina. Mr. Spaulding with his family moved to Oukumehame about < the middle of January & affer spending one month moved to 01®alu & spent another month more in the center of the popu­ lation. Preached 3 times a weferk— held 2 bible classes one for men &udnother for women when the Ai o kala was recited &.;remarked upon— one school for children on Sab. noon & a school every evening from 15 to 40 to recite the verse for the day, listen to remarks & attend prayers. During the week except on Sat. there were 2 schools every day ©nbf’a.SiBig nearly 5SD0 scholars, men women & child­ ren, All the interest was manifest that could be expected & we were convinced of the importance of living among the people if we wauldddo good among them to advantage. When health of our families & other circumstances will permit we intend one of us to live alternately at Kanapali & Ooalu (sic) during the intervals of shipping.

Respectfully submitted, (Signed) Wm. Richards (Signed) Eph. Spaulding �Qtfr. Richard’s handwriting to middle of page 8 ; from then on, Mr. Spaulding’s Annuaal [sic] Report of the Station at Lahaina. T1835J In many respects the station at Lahaina has been in deep affliction the last year. The health of those two members of the station, who had been laid aside from the ordinary duties of the missionary, even from their first arrival on mission­ ary ground, as reported the last year, is still- so low as to share give little promise for the future. If they t a ® not our labour here, they surely do our sufferings in no ordinary degree, and may &t last be more worthy than their associate of the welcome, ”well done good and faithful servent. 11 Csic|> They need and deserve the most feiment prayezs of the mission. Miss Ogden too, was for a number of weeks laid aside from her ordinary useful labours, by a threatning [sic] disease, but in the kind Providence of God is apparently quite restored. The family of Mr. Spaulding has been entered by the great Cornelius B. during the 6 months & 16 days of entwined heart his residence on earth esstosdsasti himself around the destroyer. o;f his parents and those who saw his sufferings and his smiles, & then took his departure, leaving an affeeting lesson not only for the parents and the children of the sta­ tion, but also for us all. The other children of the station have most of them, had severe attacks of disease of threatning [sic] character croup which it was feared would end in emHsgix by which the children of Messrs. Clark and Armstrong were removed. The remaining �-2- • ■ Report of Lahaina Station— 1855 • members of the station have enjoyed their accustomed health, though Mr. Spaulding has in two or three instances been laid aside for a few days at a time. The last of Dec. Mr. and Mrs. R. were under the necessity of removing from the station at Wailuku where they remained untill [sis] the 14th of February. The labours of the station have been on the sabbath among natives. 1st A morning prayer meeting at sunrise attended by from 4 to 6 hundred persons at which either a sermon has been preached, or remarks made from some text of scripture. 2nd Preaching at. 9 o ’clock A. M. 3rd Recitations in the verse a day, until February when the Huliano by Mr. Dibble was instituted. This class con­ sists of 500 persons, more than 3/4 of whom are usually present. The class might of consisted of 200 or perhaps 400 more if books could have been obtained. The exercise is a very popular one and as far as can be judged by a few months experience is very profitable. This mode'of seems studying the scripture sj^ssbkkkmuch better adapted to the people and much more profitable than the verse a day provided the exercise can be attended by a mission­ ary, but at out stations where a missionary can not regularly attend, the verse a day is prefered. 4th The fourth exercise of the sabbath, preaching at 4 o' clock P.M. �-3Report of the Lahaina Station— 1855 5th eveng (sic) Class meetings of the church in the ©swaagsp, for the ob­ ject of conversing on the subjects of the sermon and on various subjects. These class meetings the pastor attend in rotation when he is able. The attention to public worship has been pretty uniform even for years. Though there was a smaller congregation fore we during the M r part of year than/have known at Lahaina for a length of time. About the middle of the year the number greatly increased, but is now rather small again, though not materially diminished. The other religions exercises of the week have been mere­ ly, the monthly concert, the weekly lecture, a weekly church meeting. (sic) The monitors of the bible class however have meet/once a week, at which meeting it has been the object as far as possible to prepare them to communicate instruction to the classes. There have been 5 additions to the church during the year. Of those who were suspended at the time of the last general meeting, 2 have been restored. The rest (who reside in La­ haina) remain in the same state, neither exhibiting that hardaes [sic] which would justify full excommunication, nor that penitence which ..would justify their restoration to the privileges of the church. There have also been several other Hauwa new cases of discipline. ..'EtoeKHBa, a native of Huihini who is (sic) �-4- jSjeport of Lahaina Station-— 1855 so extensively known in the mission and in the Christian w or 3_d a man who has heretofore exhibited a uniformity of Christian,character, such ks has adorned his profession and rendered him extensively useful— He too has been guilty of that crime which so emphatically renders the land a sink of pollution. The birth of a child but a few months or weeks after his marriage made his guilt certain and laid it out before the world. We rejoice however to be able to say that such is the evidence of sincere penitence and contritian that he will probably be restored to his standing in the church at the next communion. It ®ay be proper to mention in particular, the case of the Princess which has pained not our hearts only but 1000 ‘s of others in various parts of the world. Immediately after her fall in July last, her pastor ad­ dressed her a letter and sent messenger on purpose to be the bearer of it. It was kindly received, seamed to receive a little feeling for the moment, so much so that during the resume stay of the messenger Sir hours, she did not ■her wicked conduct. Between that time & January of this year several letters passed between her and her Pastor. On her arrival at Lahaina, all the missionaries stood entirely aloof from all they that freedom of intercourse with her which/indulge even with the wicked who are not members of the church. The Pastor being at Wailuku and being unable to visit Lahaina at that time, addressed a letter to the church, stating their duty to keep entirely aloof from their fallen chief, and avoid all �-5Report of Lahaina Station— iniquity familiar intercourse with her while she lived in aasaefcf and stating fully the scripture reason for this course. This letter was read in publick, & seemed to be approved by the church. Soon after this the Pastor visited Lahaina for the pur­ pose of going on the course of discipline which had been coneven she vened by letter. Henrefused however/to see her while -tek&genemy ■ > was a professed of Christ. Her case was laid before the church and a day of fasting and prayer observed on the occasion, she did not listen to the committee of the ehurch and a leter of excommunication prepared.and the hour appojntread ed for it to be <a=eaa*. The prospect of immediate excommunicaishej tion produced a little feeling so that/spent most of the night in conversation with some church member, who previous to her fall had been her companion and adviser. On the next morning which was the day appointed for her excommunication, she sent a message begging that her excommunication might be post­ poned, and promising full and immediate reform. Her request was granted and in the evening her pastor -had an interview with her. She renewed her promise, and when she returned to her house burnt her cards— threw away her puu-ili— called her women,iand told them of her promise, & that she intended to keep it and forbade every kind of immorality in them. During the few days she remained at Lahaina and for a short time after her arrival on Hawaii'/ she kept her promise, and exci­ ted some faint hope, that she did really design to reform. �Report of Lahaina Station— 1855 But the design did not result from a deep sense of her guilt or her danger, for after a few days she again plunged into former excesses her essesassa®, though in a more limited degree and in a more private manner than before. During her whole residence on Hawaii she showed that she was an enemy of Christ, and a friend of the world. As soon as she returned to Maui her case was again laid before the church and on the 23 of Mai the letter of final excommunication was publicly read. Several other members of the church give but too much evi­ dence that they have no right there, and several will be sus­ pended before another season of communion. One who has been a long time suspended and who has been residing at this place, is worthy of excommunication and it is understood by the church at Lahaina, that the letter will be given him before we return. The state of religious feeling has varied considerable fore during the year. During the ■IPsrtfesg- part of the year it was unusually low. The news of the Princess fall created consid­ erable excitement and it was thought a favorable occasion for a protracted meeting. After a series of church meetings and a day of fasting and prayer the 8 days meeting was commenced on August 14th. It was an interesting season, and though were there -wae- none to whom we could point and say, this man was set (?) converted, yet we have no doubt but the truth was -art home to the hearts of some by the Holy Spirit and that when the Lord shall right up the people he will count that this and that �Report of Lahaina Station— 1855 born man were there. The number of those who attended worship increased, until about December, when it was nearly double what it was traced to no other assignment public -argUHtoa-t of in June last. The increase could be cause -e-euroo but the protracted meeting. Of the more left undone. In the month of Sept. Mr. E. visited Lanai the mission something has been done but where he spent 9 days, made a tour of the island and made a geographical survey of it, & preached 12 sermons. He has also visited that island 3 times since, whole number of sermons preached there during the year 27. It is an encouraging field of labour. The number of marriages during the year has been 135. The greatest evilsfelt in relation to the subject have arisen from the fact that there are so many native sailors there, some of whom on the week of their arrival from sea present themselves for marriage, and perhaps the next week are gone. Six months or a year after their wives being weary of wait­ ing for their return present themselves again for marriage, and perhaps some 10 or 20 days or more after the right is solemnized, the former husband returns. These are serious evils at Lahaina. Among the records of the station it should be mentioned that about the last of Nov. the brethren of Lahaina luna and Lahaina lalo, met at the house of Mr. Richards to take into providentially consideration the case of Mr. Dibble who had been �-8- Report of Lahaina Station^-1855 called to this place, for medical aid. Considering tlie state of his own health and the circumstances of his family it was thought inexpedient he should return to Hilo. Similar reasons lay in the way of his joining the station at & Wailuku or Haiku,/we thought it inexpedient that he should convene a new station, without a prospect of its being per­ manently maintained, even though we might have selected a spot which would have been favorable to his health. We therefore advised him to remain at Lahainaluna until general meeting, and do what he could to assist the teachers of the high school. l#M 4 o i L i & Y . p u L k As it regards the schools of Lahaina & the districts belonging to that station, under the care of native teachers, it may be said that little has been done the past year & of that little no definite account can be given, as we have not marked -saake-dr the progress of their labors by examinations as has been customary in times past. We have ceased to expect much from many of the old teachers & have taken no pains to revive the schools nominally under their care. The most efficient aid has been rendered by 8 or 9 scholars from the High School who have taught in Lahaina, Haanapali, £)loalu & Oukmnehame. Three of the number have had schools in the two districts last mentioned on Saturdays & have engaged in S. S. on the Sabbath. On Saturdays they have had two schools one for children & another for adults, but the number of their scholars cannot �-9- Report of Lahaina Station---1855 be reported. On the Sabbath, one has had. a school in the "hull anoTI just before the morning service of about 80 scholars, another has had a school on sab. eve in which the "Ai o ka la" has been reeited, Immediately after the morning service, all have assisted in the children’s S. s. consisting of about 100 scholars. They have assisted also in hearing the recitations in the Ai o ka la school immediately preceeding the afternoon service. After the recitations an explanation of the verses re­ cited has been given in a catechetical manner. At first from 2 to 250 committed to the verse for the day & were pretty regular in their attendance till their teacher was obliged to leave them by the return of ships. Since that time the school has been nearly extinct. For various reasons we have had no station school for teachers the past year. Our efforts in teaching have been bestowed principally upon the children. Miss Ogden as usual has been indefatigable in her labors. Immediately after the last gen. meet, shte3commenced a school of 150 scholars, about 60 in writing- 30 in arithmetic & all in reading & learning to read. Prom 8 till 11 A. M. were the hours for school, tho a little more than two hours were usu~ ally spent in the schoolrooms. She had also a daily school of about 60 girls from 2 to 4 P. A. [sic] for sewing & writing. Both these schools were continued 5 days in the week, with little diminution of �-10Report of Lahaina Station-— 1855 interest- till about the last of Kept, when they were dis­ missed on account sickness in Mr. Spaulding’s family. Mr. Spaulding resumed'the childrens school with 150 scholars, about the first of March which continued to average 120 till some time in April. After the death of his child the childrens school was divided. All the girls who were able to read, including most of the writers, from 70 to 80 were taught in sewing & writing by Miss Ogden. All who were unable to read, except a dozen or more of large boys whose attendance was very Inconstant, were under Mr. Spauldings care. The number was about 60 tho the average attendance would not exceed 40. Theseoschools were continued till just before.we left for gen. meeting. The S. S. of which Miss Ogdem has had the charge for a long time, during the past year has been under the joint care of Dr. Chapin & Miss Ogden. the eare of Dr. Chapin alone. For nearly. 6 months it was in The school for nearly 3 months consisted of about 150 scholars. Since that time the scho­ lars have been inconstant & the school has been more or less prosperous. Except during the visits of ships preaching has been maintained pretty regularly at Oloalu principaly by Mr. Spauld­ ing. The walls of a new stone meetinghouse 55 ft. by 28- 10 ft. high & nearly 5 ft thick have been put up in 4 days. The walls were laid up in boxes, using earth instead of limesuperintended whegfr-i-ntended by Mr. Spaulding. The stones were collected �-11Report of Lahaina Station— 1855 almost entirely fey the women. As the house stands nearly on the dividing line of Oloalu & Oukumehame, the people of each district perform their appropriate half of the labor. It is designed to have it plastered & thatched with ti leaf & when finished will answer the two fold purpose of meetinghouse & schoolhouse. It is believed that ways can be devised by which the people may defray the whole expense without applying to the mission. They have a mind to build a house for the Lord & if they can have anyone to guide them it may soon be finish­ ed. _ \% 3^ In regard to seamen the same may be said in general, that we reported at the last meeting, tho there have not been as many ships at Lahaina during the last year as there were the year previous. Last fall there were 45. This spring there have been 10 or 12 . Our intercourse with seamen has been cordial & pleasant, distance That of feeling which has formerly been manifest seems to be gradually subsiding so that now no obstacle lies in the way to prevent intercourse with them to any extent desirable. As there have been no ardent spirits to be ob­ tained, except in such small quantities & so secretly as to be seldom noticed & as they have little to divert their attention, aside from their ordinary business, a wide door has been open for doing them good. Meetings have generally been well attended. There have ^ been with some exceptions, three sermons a week, one on the sabbath at the meeting house & the other two on board ships,. �-12Report of Lahaina Station— 1855 generally on sabbath & Wednesday or Thursday evenings* Meetings on board have become so common or perhaps we may say so popular that no hesitation is felt in asking any master for his ship, for this purpose. This pleasant state of things we attribute in part to our reading rooms which continue to be acceptable & consequently popular. The cost of the buildings were estimated at $750, but at the close of the season last fall we took the subscription paper from the table having reeieved tsid enough as we supposed to cover the whole expense of making no allowance for our time & trouble. We have had a respectable supply of papers istpon the tables of which a number of files have been furnished by the Atheneum Barllet at Andover & by vote of that society are to be continued.

The books are loaned by the season to be returned. Bibles & tracts have been often called for & a considerable quantity of each have been distributed, but as no particular account has been kept, no definite report can be made. We have reeieved three letters from the Secretary of the Am. S. 0?. Soc. in two of which he intimates that at no distant period a seamans chaplain may be stationed at Lahaina. �Report of Lahaina Station-- -185# Preaching has been maintained regularly at Oloalu & Ukumehame, except when ships were at anchor.

W. arrived about the same time under serious im­ pressions & we labored hard & in vain to remove his diffi­ culties & help him to the Saviour. A meeting was held on Wednesday evening on board Capt.

The next Friday evening a large congregation assembled on board another ship, where after a sermon Capt.

He said he had been out of health most of the voyage dut was stupid, scarcely thinking about his soul or death.

Some donations have been made for keeping the buildings in repair, tho 1 the subscription was taken from the table more than two years ago. Temperance is making increasing progress among seamen. Of the 48 ships we know of no one which has had ardent spirits on board for sale in the Pacific tho’ we have not been particular to inquire of every ship. If any have had it for this purpose they have been ashamed to acknowledge it & the fact has been concealed. Ship owners are becoming wiser. Pew (?) comparatively put the pbison on board & ship masters, during the past year have done a little at Lahaina to aid the cause of Temperance in the Pacific. Ardent spirits had been conveyed to Hawaii in a small schooner for sale & the owner not being able to dispose of it all there & having about two barrels left, declared that he would sell to Seamen at Lahaina 1,law or no law". This information reached La­ haina & the chiefs before the vessel came to anchor. As soon as one of the orniers of the vessel came on shore, he was called to the Captains Reading Room & assured by some of the masters that if he sold one drop of it to their men., they would unite in a body go on board his schooner & pour his liquor into the Sea. The vessel was also watched & there is no evidence that any was sold. �Report of Lahaina Station 185# -£T- ■1 Y" On Sunday &c.

Mrs. Baldwin also with her children took up her residence there during the absence of her husband at the Society Islands. On the return of Mr. Baldwin, Dr. Chapin being about to remove, he went into Dr. Chapin's house, where he remained until the fore part of March. During his residence there he attended to the medical wants of the station, went out to preach at out stations perhaps 5 or 6 times, assisted in reading 10 or 12 proof sheets, and preached at the station a few times at the station ( I) when the other members were absent. As however he was not located by the mission at Lahaina he will probably himself report the particulars of his labors. The general division of labor at the station has been essentially the same as in former years. Mr. Spaulding has attended to the English department of labor for seamen, has also managed the out station at Oloalu, has during most of the year had a school of one hour for the three eldest children of Mr. Richards, and during a part of the year has had the care of a station school (.) The particu­ lars of his labors will be detailed In their proper connections. Mr. Richards has attended principally to the pastoral duties of the station, and during about 7§- months of the year has de­ voted a portion of each day to translations. The last 2 months �1836 he has done nothing in that department. - 2 Besides these parts of the New Testament which were behind last year, the Book of Esther has been translated, the book of Isaia ( i)> and the greater Part of Jeremiah, the two former of which have been printed and Jeremiah as far as the 32nd Chap. Genesis and Ezra, the translations of brethren Thurston and Bishop have been.reviewed, not however with that particular care which has been customary but rather in conformity with the views of the mission as expressed at the last General meeting, viz. that the parts of the Old Testament might be printed at the discretion of the translators without being reviewed. And the books translated at Lahaina have not been reviewed except as they passed under the observation of those who assisted in reading the proof sheets. The first 20 chapters of Exodus have been revised for the press and a part of the remainder translated. This would have been finished before unassigned books were taken up, had the state of the printing department allowed of its being printed immediately. There have been married at Lahaina during the year past 117 eouplev- Much trouble has been experienced In consequence of frequent applications to be married from persons who ought not to be united In marriage* Ex. Old men with young girls - old women with boys - church members with partners of no established character, or none that is good. Children of not more perhaps than 12 years old have been brought forward by the chiefs as suitable to be married, and the irregularity of the holokahikis is still a sourse of much trouble. It is desirable that this subject be examined by the �1836 - ■ 3 Mission, and a uniform rule of practice adopted. The census of the island of Maui has been taken as correct­ ly perhaps as can be expected until some of the present preju­ dices of the people are removed. The population according to the present cans us amounts to 24,248., instead of 35,000 as published in the Geography. The reason of this difference Is, first, the over rating of the people at the last cenees ( i) Second, the under rating in the present census. 3d- A real decrease by death, and 4^-tl A migration of the people to Oahu. The proportionate number of births and deaths on the island has not been satisfactorily ascertained. At Oloalu and Oukamehame, they have been equal, viz 11 births & 11 deaths. On the island of Lanai there have been since Jan. 9 births and 19 deaths. It is hoped that these records may be kept more correct­ ly hereafter. During the year there have been received to the church on their own profession 15 persons, and 5 have been received from other churches. Nine persons now stand propounde ( 1). Eighteen persons have {been] dismissed and received by other churches, and five have been excommunicated. Of those who were suspended last year 3 have been restored, and two more will probably be restored at the next communion. N To the number suspended five new ones have been added.

The King attended most of the m 'gs those 6 days & pretty frequently afterwards - but has grown more n egligent l a t e l y . The young men around him began to attend at the protrd m eeting, & a fte r that meeting attention to meetings became gradually more general among them. For some tim e, there have been very few probably �1838 - 7 of his tr a in who have not generally attended on the means of g race . A few weeks after the protracted meeting for the congre­ g a t io n , we spent a week in meetings for the children - th is means seemed to he b le sse d beyond our h ighest expectation* E ffe c ts * If it be asked what were the e ffe c ts of a l l these means among the people, it may be answered, that there w a s , a t the time of the protracted m eeting, a general seriousness minds of the great body of the p o pu latio n . on the And th is seriousness increased in extent & in t e r e s t , g rad u ally but very p erce ptibly for many weeks afterw ards.

During the last month, the diminution of i n t e r ­ est in the congregation has been v ery apparent. I omitted in its proper place to m ention, that immediate­ ly a ft e r our f i r s t protracted meeting I a ss is te d in a p ro trac­ ted meeting a t M olokai; & also that shortly a ft e r Mr. R .

During the whole period of excitem ent, at L a h a in a , deserves to be mentioned, it that a few in d iv id u a ls of the chh seemed truly awake & endued w ith a s p ir it of prayer - of p er­ severing prayer - & but few , compared w ith the whole chh seemed to p articip ate at a l l in the work. When speaking of schools, I omitted to m ention, that our S a b . School had not been enlarged this y e a r , because we had �1838 only about h a l f a supply of the ai o ka l a . - 9.

Baldvrin �Report of Lahaina S t a t io n , - May 1st 1 8 5 9 . The commencement of our past m issionary year found us in the midst of a precious outpouring of the Spt of God, whh we w ere , at that tim e, en jo y ing, in common w ith very many s t a t io n s , throughout the i s l a n d s . The work commenced in March p rev io u s; though we thought we could perceive the f i r s t movings o f the Spt fo r even a month or more earlier than t h a t . So f a r as means w ere b lessed in introducing the work, besides the ordinary means of grace, they were the v is it i n g of a certa in number of se le ct chh members at every house throughout the p la c e ; sp ecia l conversation with in d iv id u als wherever we had opportunity; the establishment of some extra m eetings, where truth might be brought to bear upon the people; & e s p e c ia lly of morning meetings w ith a view to prepare the minds of the people fo r a protracted meeting to be h e ld in March; but above a l l we look upon that protracted m eeting, at whh I was a s s is t e d by brn from L a h a in a ­ luna & W ailuku, as having done most in commencing the w ork. During that meeting there was evidently a deep solemnity r e s t in g over the whole p la c e . I t was days, & even w eeks, b efo re the fe e lin g s of the m ultitude came out f u l l y to l ig h t ; but as they became more & more developped, the minds o f a l l c la s s e s , & of the entire population of that region appeared to b e engrossed In the g re at things o f salv atio n . One of the f i r s t signs whh we w itn e s s e d , ment became g e n e r a l, w a s , after the ex c ite ­ that people, in every d i r e c t i o n , were throwing away t h e ir tobacco p ip es, w h ile nothing was s a i d on that subject - as i f the use o f tobacco was a b a r r ie r between �1859 them & sa lv a tio n . 2 Many of those who had in years past stood aloof from the Gospel, befo re - perhaps I ought to say a ll that had acted the part of scoffers & re v ile r s were broken down & came w ith tears confessing t h e ir sin s; & no class of the people were more a ffe c te d than the c h ild r e n . The f e e l i n g among them also was almost simultaneous w it h that of a d u l t s . The arriv al o f b r o . & s is t e r Richards at the statio n in A p r i l , w hile the work was in progress was very seasonable & welcome; the more so as I was at the time almost exhausted by incessant labo urs. Owing to my taking cold & to a p a r t ia l loss of v o i c e , on that account, I was a fte r that nearly l a i d a sid e from labour for a tim e. From this f a c t , together w ith Mr. R . ’ s b eing absent on a v i s i t at W ailuku & at H a w a ii, besides having h is attention taken up with the Is l a n d & delegate m e e tin g s, there was so great a want o f labour in the congregation, that f e e l i n g began ev id en tly to d eclin e; & we feared the Spt was about to take h is 'departure. disapp o inted. But i n this we were wonderfully There had been an evident s p ir it of prayer in a goodly portion of the chh, & their w restlin g was not y et at an end. As soon as the d iv e r tin g causes above named were removed, & we were able to g ird ourselves again to the work, God s t i l l showed him self near at hand & ready to convert sin n ers. The r e v iv a l went on w ith undiminished interest through the summer, during whh time we h e ld a t h ir d protracted m eeting; through the f a l l also there did not appear to be any abatement i n the work; r e l ig io n was s t i l l the great concern among a l l c la s s e s ; insomuch that strangers who came there could not but remark the s t i l l ­ ness & solemnity that reigned over the p lace; the s t i l l n e s s along the shores where hundreds of c h ild re n used to p lay ; & the empti­ ness & s t illn e s s of the market even when 20 or 30 ships were at �1859 anchor & taking in th eir r e c r u it s . - 3 I t was a new thing fo r the people to w itness so many ships at anchor, & yet no apparent dim inution either In the numbers or interest of our d a ily meet­ ings . W ith the exception of occasional flu ctuatio n of f e e l i n g , & perhaps, at p articular tim es, a dim inution of i t , may say, that this in t e r e s tin g state of things at Lahaina has continued to the present tim e. I t h in k , we The u n iv ersal prevalence of the mumps, however, among the people, & an unusual amount of other sickness have, fo r two months p a s t, made great Inroads upon our co ngregations; & perhaps the d iv e r sio n of fe e lin g produced hy these causes has b een such, that there was much less in t e r e s t at the time we le f t than there had been b efo rel I f i t be asked by what means the work has been co ntinued at L a h a in a . We must answer, that next to preaching of the Gospel & the other ordinary means whh we have used , shA be named an uncommon s p irit o f fa it h fu ln e s s , on the part of a goodly portion of the native members of the chh. A b le s sin g has doubtless attended the ze a l & f i d e l i t y w ith whh they have carrie d the truths of God to the cottage & the p r iv a te c i r c l e . e ff ic ie n t But the most of a l l the means they have used has been prayer for the S p i r i t . Many o f our native members, I have reaso n to b e ­ l i e v e , have been powerful in prayer & have p r e g a ile d w ith God. I have neve r, in America, seen any C h ristia n s, even the most devoted, & g i f t e d , take hold of this work w it h so much apparent sim plicity & f a i t h ; nor have I ever seen any others hold on to i t with such unwavering perseverance. They have been often encouraged to b e l i e v e , that as long as they continued to pray, �1859 the b le s sin g wd continue to come. - 4 They have read the same - "A sk & ye shall r e c e i v e ,” - & they seem to have taken God at h is word. The manner in whh some of them have persevered in pleading fo r the S p ir it to carry on h is work, i f f u l l y brought to the light of day, w &, I have no doubt, put the most f a i t h f u l of a l l our number to the b lu s h . Some of those to whom I have re fe rr ed as having e x h ib ite d a s p i r i t of prayer have been b u t babes in years as w ell as babes i n C h rist. Perhaps no part of the population of the place has f e l t more of the influ en ce of the Spt than the central g i r l s ' school whh has numbered about one hundred, & was form erly under the care of M iss. Ogden. I t is now about 15 months that these g i r l s , w ith th e ir pious native female teachers have met fo r prayer every day e it h e r before or a fte r their scho o l; & from what I have heard, I .sh^- judge, that those seasons of prayer had o ften been seasons of refreshin g from on h ig h . The la rg e r part of that school are probably truly converted to God. We trust much good has been done in this work of the Spt of God - good whh w i l l last as long as e t e r n it y . & th ir ty one have been gathered into the chh. One hundred A part of these have doubtle§§ been b o r n a g ain the past y ea r; & of othei’s , we have reason to suppose they were r e a l l y the L o r d ’ s long b e fo r e ; but have b een roused to a higher degree of s p ir it u a l l i f e i n t h is time o f r e v iv in g , communion was the w if e Among those admitted a t our last of the king as well as many others who were formerly h is d issip ate d companions. named, are 30 o f the g i r l s ' Among the 1 3 1 , school formerly M is s . above O g d e n 's . �1839 - 5 These we cannot hut look upon as the most precious of a l l the f r u i t s of the h a r v e s t. Their advantages have b een better than those of t h e ir mothers before them; & , may hope they w i l l be i f truly converted, w§ e ffic ie n t coworkers in the cause of G h r i s t ; that they w i l l be mothers in I s r a e l ; & Sfcfifcpt© as p il l a r s in h is temple, & become at length as stars in the firm am ent. But the good done has not been confined to a few . A new image seems to have been stamped upon the whole face of s o c ie t y . Those who b o ld ly stand aloof from the Gospel, or who can l i f t up t h e ir heads as sco ffe rs or r e v i l e r s , we are to ld , are now rarely to be fo u n d . So f a r as I can judge, there appears to be i n the minds of hundreds .& thousands, yea perhaps of the whole population as a mass, a deeper & more tangible co n v iction than befo re both of the r e a l it y & importance o f the C h ristia n r e l ig i o n & this i s great gain to the Gospel. The chh also has re c eiv ed new l i g h t ; & we may expect the t r u ly pious in it w i l l h e r e a ft e r be more in t e llig e n t coworkers in b u ild in g God’ s h o u se . hope also , We w^ that besides those already received to the chh, hun­ dreds of others w i l l prove truly born a g ain , who may in due time, be gathered Into the fo ld of the Great Shepherd. And may God grant that what he has hitherto done may be only the b eginning of greater & better things to come. Mr. R ich ards, as he has reported, has done the preaching on Sabbath & on W ed. The congregation t i l l of l a t e , has been thronged, numbering probably from 1500 to 2 , 0 0 0 . I have g enerally attended the adult Sabbath sc h o o l, & also a meeting for the children every Sabbath. The f i r s t part of the year I attended se ctio n a l meetings every afternoon of the week, �1839 when there was not some more public e x e r c is e . h ain a was d iv id e d Into sixteen d iv isio n s - 6 The whole of L a ­ one of whh I met each day in regular r o t a t io n .

They have g en erally b een sh o rt, but s t i l l long enough to admit of s i n g in g , two or three prayers & an exhortation adapted to the state of the p eople. Owing to want of su ita b le accommodations I have been able to do f a r less in p rivate conversation w it h the people than I could have w ished. B e s id e s ' labouring as pasto r, I might mention, that I have been more or less engaged d a ily in Im parting medicines to the peo ple. I have a l s o , to some ex ten t, attended to the m edical wants of the several f a m il ie s ; but the la tte r part of the year I have received c a lls for a id from Molokai & W ailuku to whh the situ a tio n o f my own fam ily rendered it utterly im possible fo r me to a tte n d .

The females at the s ta tio n have also been engaged i n h e lp ­ ing forward the work of the Lord. For some part of the year M rs. Baldwin has h e l d three weekly meetings for conversation, prayer & c . - On Monday a f t e r ­ noon she met with females who were not members o f the chh. Teus.

These meetings were attended w ith many b e n e f i t ,.n o t the le a s t of whh is Its b ringing one to be acquainted with those of a l l classes & conditions In the f i e l d . The-work of communicating in stru c tio n to those at our outstatio n s has been l e f t , the past y e a r , much more to the labours of native members of the chh than in years p revious.

He continued to f a i l g radu ally through the summer, often w ith great su ffe rin g of b o d y , t i l l a week previous to h is d ea th , when a v io le n t attack of haemorrhage from the lungs, we supposed, w1^ re lease him at once from a ll p ain . But he survived this attack & a sim ilar one the succeed­ in g d a y . Through this last week we were expecting h is depar­ ture d a ily & sometimes h o u rly , & he h im self often expressed intense desires to be gone; to throw o ff the body of s in & death & to be w ith C h r is t . He re t a in e d his reason & the powers of h is mind most p erfec tly to the l a s t . Not only d id he r e t a in h is mental powers, but the same great & important matters whh had engrossed h is thoughts , when in h e a lth , h e l d p erfect pos­ sessio n of h is mind, t i l l he had no longer s u f f ic ie n t b reath or stren {g^th to express them. �1840 - 2 As to his piety i t appeared to be much of the same cast near death that it exh ib ited during h is l i f e . When asked some days previous to h is death respecting h is f e e l in g s , he r e p l i e d , that he did not think he had a l l the glow of fe e lin g s that some p ossessed; that h is r e l ig i o n had always been more of the i n ­ t e ll e c t u a l character.

Our congregations, at the S ta tio n , on Sabbath & at other tim es, have not apparently dim inished in numbers or i n t e r e s t , during the past year; nor is there any very strikin g d iffe r e n c e between the congregation of Sab. morning & that of the a f t e r ­ noon. They are nearly the same. The chiefs at the s t a t io n have gen e ra lly been regular attendants at the house of God on the Sabbath - & on Wed. We must, hovfever, except the k in g who has not b een at the sanctuary during the year on Sabbath, t i l l the afternoon of the second Sabbath of the present month (M a y ). There may be on the -whole less f e e l in g in the congregation than there was a year ago . Probably the relig io us f e e l i n g , among most, has been gradually d e c lin in g for more than a y e a r . S t i l l we are not without proof that the word of God is quick & pow erful. We often see evidence that our labours are not in v a in in the �1840 - 4 Lord. Besides the other meetings Mr. Baldwin h is conducted a B ih le cla ss, the past y e a r, the tim e, on F r i d . a ls o . every Teus. afternoon & a part of A ll who could read f l u e n t ly & w ished to jo in this class have been allowed so to do - though a l l the chh & as many others as chose, have been in v ite d to a t t e n d , as l is t e n e r s , whether they co u ld re ad w e ll or n o t . About 300 have been enrolled who have g en erally been punctual in t h e ir attendance. The object of this class has been to dissem inate a knowledge of the B ib le . The parts of the B ible whh have been attended to are the books of D a n ie l & R e v e la tio n s . These books have been se lected w ith sp e cia l reference to the contest b e ­ fore us w it h ” the mother of harlo ts & abo m in atio n s.” - Wo other books give so f u l l & clear descriptions of the beast as t h e se ; & no others deal out such aw ful denunciations & plagues whh are soon to come upon him. I t has been a part of our p lan that members of the chh who occasionally go & hold meetings at our outstations shA communicate what they le a r n , to the most d istan t parts of our f i e l d . in th is e x e r c is e , The meetings of th is class have been deeply in tere stin g & we think have been p ro ­ ductive of good. I n all our m eetings, on the Sabbath & at other t im e s , where prayer has formed a part of the e x e r c is e s , it has been an i n ­ v aria b le ru le w ith us to have but one praying aloud at o n c e . W i l l the m ission t e l l us whether th is is proper; or whether the praying aloud of 4 0 , at once, in the same m eeting, is more according to Scripture & more favourable to the o peration of �1840 the Spt of God. If - 5 so, we ought to adopt i t . As to the state of the church, there is evidently a good proportion who have not declined in p ie ty for these two years past. They have lo st some of the glow whh ch aracterized their fe e lin g s In 1 8 3 8 ; hut they received an impulse at that tim e, & gained light whh they m anifest to t h is day - & there is no p ro b a b ility that they w i l l ever lose what they then g a in e d . They are more zealous than b e f o r e ; & more e f f i c i e n t , not merely because of greater z e a l , b u t because they understand b ette r how to w ork for C h r is t . They give evidence that they have been taught of the Spt. The past year has not been one of t r i a l & d i f f i c u l t y i n the chh - at le a s t , there has been nothing p ecu liar in t h is r e s p e c t . There has been f a r more order & q uiet in the conduct of our members than one would suppose from the number actually under d iscip lin e. The fo llo w in g statement w i l l e xh ib it the s t a t i s t ic s of the church.

Their crime was' that of l i v i n g on more sociable terms with scholars of the Seminary than was thought to be f o r the good or s a fe t y of either p arty . I t is b e lie v e d , that there has been no ground of complaint a g a in st them in th is re sp ect, since the time of th e ir suspension.. In the 12 deaths mentioned in the above s t a t i s t i c s , the m ission w i l l remember that that of our lamented governor H o a p ili is included. He died Jan. 3d 1 8 4 0 , of dropsy in the bow els. A few words only can b e sa id of him h e re . I n h is la st d a y s , h i s piety shone out w ith a more glowing & heavenly flam e than any of us had expected to w it n e s s . m il i t y , His deep & u n a ffe c te d h u ­ expressed in more ways than any of us could have d e v is e d , h i s sens-e of o b lig a tio n to Christ for renewal & pardon of s i n , i & h is longing to b e gone & be w ith Christ were such, cd possibly mistake th e ir meaning. God, that none His love to the house of (whh had always been uniform) h is love to the work of prayer & p r a is e , & h is interest in the cause of truth & r i g h t ­ eousness were such as showed he was r ip e fo r glo ry. Even while we were looking upon him as almost gone, he wished to pray once more - rose upon h is knees (whh to us seemed im p o ssible) & then punred out his soul to God; - when through, he sa id ,r]tfa pau" - �18 40 - 7 His anxiety fo r the future welfare of this n a tio n , h is warnings & entreaties to the King & the tears he poured out over him were almost as much as even h is m ajesty could endure; they spread a sacred awe over the -whole p la c e . We need not a d d , that we remember him w ith affe ctio n & in t e r e s t , & that we g re atly deplore h is loss as a c i v i l r u l e r . The Lord ra is e up many such to preside over th is p erishing people I Prom the time of Mr. McDonald1s death, the superintendence of schools has devolved on the p asto r. As much a tte n tio n has been g iv e n to them as was consistent w ith other d u t ie s . School committees have been appointed in a l l the d i s t r ic t s whose business was to awaken interest among parents & s c h o la rs , to collect contributions fo r the teachers & attend to such other matters as the prosperity of the schools r e q u ir e d . We have some men who have taken great interest in the work. We have eleven schools in our f i e l d , not including K a a n a p a li. None o f them have been e x tin c t the la tte r h alf of the past y e a r , though some have had to struggle for existence; & several have done w e l l , considering how l i t t l e patronage they have had from the govern­ ment. This has been p artic u la r ly the case with David M a lo 's school in the centre of L a h in a , to whh he has devoted h im s e lf, w ith great patience & f a it h f u l n e s s , for the last s ix months. The Seamen’ s Chapel, at La h ain a, though not f i n i s h e d , was opened for p ub lic worship f o r seamen in the f a l l of 1 8 3 9 . During that shipping season, & the season th is sp rin g , the labour of that department have devolved on M r. B aldw in. w h ile ships were i n , He has preached once every Sabbath in E n g lis h - has d i s t r i ­ buted tracts & Bibles to seamen, loaned books from the Seam en's �18 40 - 8 l i b r a r y , & used such other means as time & opportunitles have perm itted. When there has been a service in E n g lis h , & Mr. Richards has been present a t the statio n , he has preached to the native congregation on Sab. morning. a b sen t, at such tim es, When he has been the n a tiv e services have been conducted i n the morning, w ith acceptance, by David Malo, or some other n a t iv e . Notwithstanding a l l the darkness whh hangs over seamen we often f in d signs of encouragement & hope among them. There is now a seaman, at th is p la c e , perhaps converted here who has been 12 months under deep co n v ictio n , formerly enormously w icked, now in the midst of much profanity & r i d i c u l e , & In a ship where there is no one to d irect him in the way of l i f e . As the committee on Temperance were not called on f o r a report last year & probably there w i l l be no report th is y e a r, i t may not be amiss to mention, that subject h e re . As soon as the re su lt was known of the v is it of the French fr ig a t e in July 1 8 3 9 , a ll the frie n d s of intemperance took courage. The general Impressions among them, on th is i s l a n d , was that a ll laws against ardent s p ir it were broken down. Therefore liquor soon found it s way h e r e . In one month a ft e r the King signed the French treaty to permit ardent s p t / on shore, we saw more staggering drunkards in our st re ets than we had seen in a l l the is la n d s , fo r f i v e years b e f o r e ; b ut not a Sandwich islan d native among them a l l . This in t o x ic a t io n d id not continue long as the supply f a il e d - The f i r s t A p ril, of last a certain fo r e ig n residen t brot l|r brls to th is place whh was soon a ffe c t in g the g a it of many r e s id e n t s ; b u t as fa r as our observation extended of no n a t iv e s . Lately w haleships �18 40 - 9 are sa id to have furnished some; for instance 6 b r ls from a sin g le ship. A l l Masters cry out again st its "being g iv e n to t h e ir crews - yet Some are so conscience seared as to he able to f u r n is h the deadly drug to the crews of others. The brandy part of the French treaty has outrun the popery part as i t respects our f i e l d . T i l l w it h in a few d a y s, it was not known, that a sin g le d iscip le of popery had reached this part of M aui. A work was assigned to Mr. B. to be e n t it le d a chh member’ s guide some time s i n c e . Such a work was needed & Mr. B . apology for not fu rn ish in g i t . owes an The only excuse is a perpetual press of work whh has not allowed him to s it down to s t u d y . He has now befo re him the outline of a tract on that su b ject whh he hopes to f i l l up ere long. I t w i l l then be p laced at the disposal of the p rin tin g Committee, so that it may not be best to continue the assignment any longer on the p rin ted minuets ( I ) of the M issio n . One other subject may be mentioned h e r e , v i z . that of p ro v id in g, at this p l a c e , of means fo r landing & conveying on board passengers & such goods as are to be landed here or shipped from th is place. We have now no conveyance at our d is p o s a l whh is thought s u f f ic ie n t l y safe for the valuable lots of books & boxes of goods whh come here for the d if f e r e n t statio n s on Maui & Molokai; nor, can a very safe conveyance be e a sily h i r e d . Some suppose a small but strong double canoe wd -be the convey­ ance needed. I f so, cost 200 or 250 d o l s . t h is , w ith a house to keep I t , might The m issio n , together w ith the members of the stations most concerned, can determine whether It w i l l or w il l not be best to lay out that sum f o r such an object at L a h a in a .
