Correspondence. Micronesia Missions Description An account of the resource <div style="text-align: center;">The Micronesian Mission Collection at the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library</div> <br />On November 10, 1851, Messrs. B. G. Snow, A. A. Sturges, and Luther H. Gulick, with their wives, embarked at Boston for Micronesia, an immense number of islands stretching from three degrees south to twenty degrees north of the equator. Arriving in Honolulu, the group chartered a schooner, and it was decided that Rev. Ephraim Clark, secretary of the Hawaiian Missionary Society, and Rev. James Kekela should accompany them to assist in establishing the mission and to report the condition of affairs to the Hawaiian churches. Two Hawaiian missionaries, Opunui and Kaaikaula, and their wives were added. The new mission party sailed July 15, 1852, on the ship "Caroline", en route to Micronesia, where Christianization efforts would take root and endure for the next half-century. <br /><br />The attention of the missionaries turned to three disparate cultural areas of Micronesia: the Carolines, the Marshalls, and the Gilberts [Kiribati]. Kusaie [Kosrae] and Ponape [Pohnpei] in the Carolines were the first to be occupied, mainly because of their convenient location and healthful climate. On August 21, 1852, the "Caroline" arrived at Kusaie, or Strong's Island, where a prominent chief gave his consent for the mission to be established and promised to provide land, a house, and necessary supplies. Messrs. Snow and Opunui and their wives began their work in this isolated place. Two weeks later the "Caroline" anchored at Ponape, or Ascension Island, where Messrs. Sturges, Gulick, Kaaikaula, and their wives, with the approval of the local chief, began their mission work. <br /><br />From the Carolines, the Micronesian Mission branched out to the Marshall Islands. In 1857, George Pierson, an American Board missionary to Micronesia, opened the first Protestant mission on the island of Ebon in the Marshalls. <br /><br />In 1857, the ship "Morning Star" arrived at Honolulu with Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Bingham, Jr., as passengers. Built with monies raised by Sunday School children, the "Morning Star" departed Honolulu for Apaiang, Gilbert Islands, a distance of over 2,000 miles, where the Binghams were discharged to set up a mission station. In 1864, Mr. Bingham's poor health forced the couple to return to Hawaii. Two other American missionaries, Horace Taylor and Alfred Walkup, and several Native _Hawaiian ministers, were associated prominently with the Gilbert Islands mission. Nineteen Hawaiian families in all went to the Gilberts - more than the combined number who traveled to the Marquesas, Marshalls, and Carolines. <br /><br />The Micronesian Mission was funded by the Hawaiian Evangelical Society (H.E.A.) and by the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Mission_s, located in Boston. The Hawaiian Mission Children's Society also contributed financial support to the Mission in its early years of operation.<br /><br />The extensive, well-organized files of correspondence in the collection of the Hawaiian Mission Children's Society Library serve to document the Micronesian Mission. The Native Hawaiian missionaries regularly reported the conditions of their stations to the H. E. A., whose headquarters were located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Written in the Hawaiian language, these reports adhere to the formal report format taught by the American missionaries to the Native Hawaiian missionaries being prepared for missionary work. As might be expected, countless pages of correspondence are devoted to the expression of religious ideology. However, these letters, reports, and journals also contain keen observations and personal thoughts on a wide range of subjects, as well as creative prose and poetry, including songs of lamentation for the deceased, name songs honoring individuals, and poetry composed as catharsis in times of .personal crisis or grief. <br /><br />The letters written by the corresponding secretaries of the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to the Native Hawaiian missionaries abroad were usually composed in Hawaiian, since few of the Native Hawaiian missionaries had sufficient command of the English language. Frequently, the letters written by the Native Hawaiians were translated into English for circulation in the local newspapers, particularly in the mission publication, <a href="http://hmha.missionhouses.org/collections/show/8">The Friend</a>, or they were printed in the Hawaiian language newspapers. <br /><br />The HMCS collection also yields reports of the missionary vessel "Morning Star", which traveled yearly to the various island stations, delivering supplies, mail, and news of the outside world to the missionary families.

Notes: 1. Detember - Lit. December, may have been the original date of this letter. December, crossed out was replaced with "Jan. 8," but there is no alteration of the year, 1831. It is possible that this was written at the end of 1831 and not sent until January 1832. 2. ka poe kahuna mai Palani mai - "the priests from France" refers to the Catholic priests who settled and established a ministry in the islands. They did not ask permission of the government and were expelled in 1831. This is the first official expulsion of the Catholics. �3. Kauikeaouli - Kamehameha III was the second sacred son of Kamehameha I and Keōpūolani. He took the throne in 1825 upon the death of his older brother, Kalanikualiholiho, and ruled until 1854. 4. Kaahumanu - Kaʻahumanu was Kuhina Nui, or regent, of the Hawaiian Kingdom until her death in 1832. She was a convert to and a strong advocate for the Protestant religion. 5. Kaikioewa - Kaikioʻewa was the governor of Kauaʻi at the time of this letter. 6. Hoapili - Hoapilikāne, also known as Ulumeheihei, was a chief in the royal court of Kamehameha I, and ruled as the governor of Maui after the conqueror's death. Because of his close kinship with Kamehameha, Ulumeheihei was dubbed Hoapili, or close friend, as a title of endearment. 7. Naihe - Nāihe was a counselor to the chiefs in the Hawaiian Kingdom and an early convert to Christianity. 8. Kuakini - John Adams Kiʻipalaokū Kuakini was an adviser of Kamehameha I and brother of Kamehameha's favorite wife, Kaʻahumanu. He was governor of Oʻahu at the time of this letter, and in his later years moved to Hawaiʻi Island. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

My drinking of liquor has not ended, but I do not drink to drunkenness. It is drinking, but only some drinking for pleasure. The letter you sent me, I have recently seen; I probably should not agree, for I am still drinking. If I had completely quit, then perhaps it would be proper. That's my message to you. Our teachers have also written their thoughts and their concerns are about liquor as well. I told them my opinion, that if I did not drink at all, if that were the case, then I would have agreed with that notion. Those are my thoughts to you, and my message is finished. Great regards to you, From King Kauikeaouli [Page 2 of 2] [Letter Cover] Letter of the King to Kinau June 1836 Autograph letterTo Kaahumanu II Oahu Honolulu Fort Notes: 1. Kaahumanu 2 - Elizabeth Kīna‘u was a high-ranking daughter of Kamehameha and an early convert to Christianity. She became known as Kaʻahumanu II when she assumed the role of Kuhina Nui of the Hawaiian Islands from 1832-1839. 2. King Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli, also known as Kamehameha III, was the second royal son of Kamehameha Paiʻea. Kauikeaouli ruled the Hawaiian Kingdom from 1825 to 1854. Signing the letter as "King Kauikeaouli" may have intended to impress upon Kīnaʻu his authority to make his own decisions in the matter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Letter to the King on the anonymous letter Copy 1836 Translation: [Page 4 of 8] [Note in margin] Copy of a letter to Kauikeaouli on the anonymous letter of June 14 1836. Samuel Whitney William Richards Levi Chamberlain Artemas Bishop Lorrin Andrews Jonathan P. Green Peter J. Gulick Ephraim W. Clark John P. Emerson Ephraim Spaulding David B. Lyman Richard Armstrong Ephran Forbes W.P. Alexander Edmund H. Rogers Lowell Smith �Gerrit P. Judd Benj. W. Parker Dwight Baldwin Titus Coan Rebuen Tinker Henry Dimond Sheldon Dibble Edwin O. Hall Harvey R. Hitchcock In addition, only one of all of our names here in Hawaii remains, Lyons, and he has written that it was not he who wrote the letter. H.B. [Page 5 of 8] Honolulu, June 14, 1836 Greetings to you, the King, Kauikeaouli. Greetings as well to all the chiefs here in Hawaii. Here is our message to you all. Regarding the anonymous letter you showed to us that was printed in America, reporting some of the great wrongs here in Hawaii, the majority being here on Oahu, we do not know who wrote it. None of us, your teachers living here, wrote that letter. We do not appreciate that letter because not all of the statements were correct, and other seemingly correct statements should not just be spread around America and all other lands. The person who printed and distributed it bears some of the fault. We have great regard for you, the King. We have great regard for the chiefs and the people. [Page 6 of 8] We are genuinely saddened by the truth of some parts and the falseness of some parts of that letter as well as the impropriety of it being distributed in foreign lands. Here is another thought. It is a sad thought indeed. The temptation that has led Hawaii's king astray, and the obstruction that has always hindered great virtue in these islands, which causes tumult in the kingdom, and which has brought about the death of those who came into contact with it, has not been completely banished. That is something that saddens us all. [Page 7 of 8] Here is what is needed: let us all seek that which will make the kingdom peaceful, make the king esteemed, will benefit the people, and by which they will gain God's approval. We wish to quickly inform our beloved missionary officer as follows: that the king has properly married a wife, liquor is forbidden here in Hawaii, the schools for reading and writing have been well supported by the chiefs, and that the kingdom is peaceful through the word of Jehovah. That is our message. May God save the king May you all be saved through Jesus, through our Lord by whom we have eternal life. From us, your loving missionary teachers. [Page 8 of 8] [Letter Cover] �[Note added on letter cover.] We have clearly heard that Mr. Lyons did not write that letter. Letter to the King on the anonymous letter Copy 1836 Notes: 1. ka oukou mau kumu misionari aloha - "Your loving missionary teachers" are the 24 missionaries whose names are listed on the original copy of the letter. They were all of the resident missionaries from the first seven companies who were stationed throughout the islands at the time of this letter, with the exception of Lorenzo Lyons. The names all appear in the handwriting of a single individual, likely Hiram Bingham (H.B.) who signed the addendum and would have coordinated the letter. 2. H.B. - Rev. Hiram Bingham, who signed the addendum with his initials and may have coordinated the writing of the letter, was in the first company of missionaries who arrived in Hawaiʻi in 1820. 3. Kauikeaouli - Kauikeaouli was the second son of Kamehameha I and Keōpūolani and ascended the throne in 1825 as Kamehameha III. He was the longest ruling of the Hawaiian monarchs, and was king at the time of this letter. 4. ka palapala inoa ole - "the anonymous letter" refers to a letter supposedly published in one or more American newspapers, and possibly newspapers in other places, that reported the "hewa," or wrongs, of Hawaiʻi. 5. Mika Laiana - Rev. Lorenzo Lyons was a missionary with the fifth company. He spent his tenure on Hawaiʻi Island where he headed the Waimea congregation, the largest mission station in Hawaiʻi. A note in the original letter says that he wrote from Waimea to say that he did not write the anonymous letter. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
