HAWAIIANS.

Dr. Hyde's sermon in this issue,
makes some emphatic mention of this
matter. There is no doubt among those
acquainted with the subject, that for the
past two or three years it has been assuming a very serious aspect. During
that time strenuous and systematic
efforts have been made in certain quarters for the revival of the old pagan worship in various forms. This is not a
new thing. It began with Kamehameha
V, and that some years before his accescession to the throne in 1864, while he
occupied the very influential position of
the Minister of the Interior under his
brother, Kamehameha IV. About 1861,
he caused to be issued more than 300
printed licenses to as many native medicine-men, with schedules of prices for
their services to the sick. While these
men employed some native herbs and a
few foreign drugs, their art was mainly
that of the sorcerer. Here, as among
heathen people everywhere, all diseases
are understood to be caused by the
malign presence of some akua or demon,
entering into the sufferer. He does this
either to gratify his own malice, or that
of some enemy of the victim, who has
procured his services through the medium
of a sorcerer, whose familiar the demon
is.
In order to relieve the sufferer two
ways are possible. One is to propitiate
the demon by gifts and sacrifices,
through his friend the sorcerer, who
however, is apt to be implacable. The

other is to secure the services of some
greater sorcerer, with a more powerful
demon who shall drive out the first. All
this is attended withthe heaviest expense
and dreadful incantations and heathen
performances.
The newly licensed kahunas of 1861
were active, and plied their arts industriously, to their own gain, and the
impoverishment of their dupes.
one became at once an active propagator
of the old paganism. Some established
classes for the instruction of the young
in the half forgotten lore of aumakuas
and other forms of demigod powers, and
how to invoke and propitiate them. A
considerable number of fetishes and
idols were set up in a rather private
way, many of them in connexion with
the gross and filthy lutlahulas, which
Kamehameha Y. was especially active
in reviving.
Previous to 1861,the aforesaid heathen
practices were not extinct, but latent
among the people. The tremendous
spiritual uplifting of 1837 3!) had given
Christian faith a grand supremacy for a
whole generation. Since 1801,with the
growth and reinstatement of heathen
sorcery and hulas, there has been a
gradual decline of spiritual activity
among the Hawaiian people, and this in
the presence of an ever increasing intelligence and external civilization.
It has been apparent, since 1880, that
more or less systematic effort has been
increasing in high quarters to promote
the tendency to reinstate old heathen
For the
practices and superstitions.
past two years these efforts have assumed very definite and decided form.
The late corrupt Legislature of 1886 organized a "Hawaiian Board of Health,"
really a Board of heathen sorcery. In
connection with this was shortly after
incorporated the Hale-nau-a Society, a
grand secret society with wide ramifications, designed to entangle and embrace
the whole Hawaiian people in the toils
of pagan practices. Many of the formalities practised in the latter Society are
reported to have been of an unspeakable
nature, but characteristic of the usual
bestiality of paganism. "Children of

the air and the light," indeed! Sad victims rather were the old Hawaiians of a
baneful tyranny of demon-gods, dark
and foul! The late revivals of pagan
worship have afforded an opportunity to
learn the true nature thereof, and gain a
knowledge probably not otherwise to
have been obtained.
While these things contain great peril
to the Hawaiian people, and portend
serious injnry to their Christian life, we
believe that there are very strong and
hopeful elements of good, which we
trust will prevail against the increasing
evil. These elements of good, however,
need active and diligent reinforcement.
It is a time for wise and earnest measures to preserve and maintain the life of
the Hawaiian Churches that it do not
succumb to the strange fascination of
the old hereditary Power of Darkness
from which this people was once emancipated.
It is long since any one has left
Honolulu carrying with them so many
regrets, and leaving so many grateful
memories of their residence with us as
Mrs. Van Slyke, who, as Mrs. Hanford,
has for so many years conducted the
musical department at Punahou. Her
rich and sympathetic voice will be
greatly missed in our choirs and on
musical occasions. Few teachers have
thoroughly won so many pupil's hearts,
or created so much progress in the work
in hand. We would follow Professor
and Mrs. Van Slyke with most cordial
wishes for their welfare.

Honolulu is again favored with the
lectures of Mrs. Florence Williams on
Literature and History. When here
last year Mrs. Williams imparted a great
impulse to many minds in the study of
these topics. We are glad to know that
many more are now finding a high
satisfaction in the rarely able and
interesting lectures of this eminent
teacher.

been made, good has been done.
Is there no call from Christ upon
His people now to be separated unto
His service as Abraham was ? Must
not the Israel of God beware of yielding
to Canaanitish pleasure-loving worldlings? Can it he said of you. as it
should be said of every follower of
Christ, " The love of Christ constraineth
us?" No reluctant, no resistant soul
knows the full intent and blessedness of
the Christian life. Does the branch
ever regretfully think how it is held fast
to the vine ? Or does it ever reluctantly
reach out from the vine to clasp with
its loving tendrils, or to cover with its
foliage and fruitage the trellis on which
it has been placed? When I hear
people talk of what Christians are expected to be and to do, as if this was
putting clogs and fetters on the liberal
mind and the free spirit, I can only
mourn that they know so little or know
nothing of that which Paul says he had
apprehended in Christ, lor which, too,
he had been apprehended of Christ, a
life like Christ's possible to every believer, a life in Christ offered to every
believer, a life for Christ expected of
every believer, a life with Christ the
crowning blessedness to every believer.
Christian truths and Christian duties
clogs and fetters to the soul! Nay;
nay! It is faith in Christ that makes
us partakers of Hie Divine life. Faith
gives our souls the eagle's eye, undazzled by the unclouded sun, the eagle's
wing, untiring on its untrodden way.
It is perhaps an infelicitous phraseology in our English Bibles that speaks
of the constraining love of Christ. There
is nothing narrowing and restricting in
it, brothers and sisters in Christ. You
will testily, as Paul does in a more correct rendering of His thought, "The
love of Christ has me and holds me to
one all comprehensive object of human
life, as the sun holds and swings this
earth of ours in its mighty orbit, its
never ending course through the stellar
spaces." Likeness to Christ, union with
Chirst, was Paul's avowed and all absorbing object in life. In what do we
resemble Jesus most, in what is our fellowship with Him most complete, if not
in the work of the world's redemption ?
Shall we, can we, keep back any power
we have, or can exert, to reclaim the

This Hawaiian people, among whom
we live, have been described as children
of the sun, enjoying' song and dance,
sports and gambols every live long day,
until the missionaries came with their
gloomy theology, and grim ideas of religious life to set aside the pristine simplicity and the aitless enthusiasms of barbaric life, and to impose their own
rigorous New England pietism on a

light-hearted, jocund, blithesome, tropical race. Get into the inner life of these
Hawaiian*, know- them in their homes,
share in their labors and their trials, in
Christ's own spiiit of uplifting helpfulness, and you will be thankful that for
them, as for you, there is a Gospel ol
Grace with its words of comfort and
hope, its promises of cheer and light. Xo
less thankful will you be that for them,
too, there, are the commands and duties
of the Christian life, however irksome,
wearisome or distasteful they may seem
to some, (iet some knowledge, if you
want to form correct estimates ol
heathenism, of the unspeakable vilenesses, the wanton cruelties, the debasing
superstitions of the heathenism that is
still rampant and riotous in this Hawaiian Kingdom. Granted that in these
Islands, as in other Pacific groups—the
Gilbert, the Marshall, the Caroline
such qualities as affection for one's offspring, devotion to one's friends, may
gleam as resplendently as in other
hinds ; these are not evidences ol
Christian enlightenment, but rather,
like the phosphorescence of decaying
vegetation, evidences of degeneration
from the normal growth and development. See the stolid face, the furtive
eye, the brutalized appearance of these
Pacific Ocean islanders as the missionary of the Cross first sees them. In
the language of the people of Ruk,
there is no word for clean. That single
fact speaks volumes as to their real

KAMEHAMEHA BOYS' SCHOOL.
This new and important institution,
has just closed its first year's work,
under the care ol Rev. W. B. Oleson as
principal, aided by Miss Reamer as first
assistant, Miss Dressier as music teacher,
and Mr. Terry in special charge of
manual training.
A public examination was held on
Wednesday a. m. June 20th, in the large
hall of the new gymnasium. There were
many recitations of Scripture in concert,
a large variety of language-lessons,
grammarand analysis and synthesis of
sentences, by the different grades. Written exercises from dictation were Shown.
A thorough grounding was manifest in

tions. Many intricate problems in frac-

tions were rapidly solved. Choral and
other pieces of music were interspersed,
led by Miss Dressier, and showing a
fine and successful training of the whole

school.

At noon, the company adjourned to
the manual work deparment. There
Mr. Terry exhibited the exercises in
carpentry practised during the year,
showing wonderful expertness in the use
of hammer, saw, plane, chisel and bit,
also in the sharpening of tools, and the
tiling of saws. Samples of mitring and
dovetailing showed a high degree of
skill.
A large exhibit was also presented of
hand sewing and stitching by the boys,
under the direction of the lady teachers.
Many of the samples would have done
credit to the classes of a girl's school.
The button-holes were particularly good.
In another room was the printing office,
where a number of boys were engaged
in setting type with much facility, under
Mr. Oleson's direction. A variety of
tasteful work was shown, executed on a
very fine Peerless jobbing press. The
class is exercised regularly in newspaper
composition.
Nearly all the work above named, except the sewing, brings no pecuniary or
other return, except in the development
of manual skill and aptitude.
On Thursday evening, June 22d, an
exhibition was held in the Gymnasium
Hall, which was very largely attended
by members of the Legislature, the clergy, by teachers, leading citizens and
naval officers, and by members of the
Royal family, notably the Priness Liliuokalani, who manifests a deep interest
in all educational matters.
The programme consisted of recitations, singing, reading of the school
paper, and writing and drawing exercises
on the blackboards. In many of these
was a large admixture of the humorous
element. The singing was excellent.
The whole closed with a tine exhibition
of calisthenics.
A majority of the scholars began
the year having enjoyed but little
instruction in English. Mr. Oleson had,
however, the advantage of a number of
older boys who had some practice in the
use of the language, and who exerted the
usual beneficial effect of veterans in
breaking in the new recruits to jabber
away in the difficult tongue. With these
forty odd to lead, the breaking in of the
next installment of pupils will be easier,
while every successive year will facilitate
the acquisition of English.
Several large and elegant wooden
buildings have been erected since the
school opened last autumn, in preparation for doubling the number of scholars
the coming year. A very large edifice

courses of stone already in place for the
new Bishop Museum in a central position in the grounds. The stone is handsomely dressed from the rough clinker
rocks that encumber the grounds. A
large quarry near the eastern entrance
is in full activity.
Amply endowed, with an able board
of trustees, an accomplished principal,
and a wise system of policy, the Kamehameha Boy's School has entered upon
a career of the highest promise of usefulness to native youth. The education
given will be an eminently Christian
one. It will be one of highly civilizing
culture, such as few Hawaiians have
hitherto enjoyed. It will will also be an
education in those manual aptitudes especially needed by Hawaiians to enable
them to enter the ranks of skilled labor,
instead of aiming at professional life, for
which they seldom have the needed
capacity. Such education must go far
to counteract the various disabilities
which the untrained Flawaiian has for
holding his place in the presence of
trained and civilized races. Without
disparaging the work hitherto done by
Protestant, Anglican and Catholic Training Schools, which has been great and
effective, we feel that a far higher order
of training is now secured, and consequently a brighter prospect for the coming generation of Hawaiian young men.
OAHU COLLEGE.

Arthur M. Brown followed with a vigorous oration on " Socialism," marked
by good articulation ana manly inflection. Lillian E. Lyman concluded the
exercises with the Valedictory, preceded
by an essay on " Lear's Daughters as
Types of Character." The farewells
were spoken with sweetness and dignity.
President Merritt then bestowed upon
the class their diplomas, with an address
of affectionate commendation and sympathy, noting especially the fact that
this class began the course at his own
inception of office in the college.
It was a gratification to trustees and
patrons to see that the Class of '88 well
sustained the high character of Oahu
College in past years. We were interested to notice that six of the class were
of missionary descent, two of them on
the side of both parents.
KAWAIAHAO FEMALE SEMINARY.

A public examination of this old and
excellent school was held on June 4th.
The preparations for the usual exhibition in Kawaiahao Church were frustrat
ed by the painful illness and death of
Miss Morley in the Seminary. The
classes were accordingly examined in
their different recitation rooms, the large
number of visitors passing from one
room to another. The school had evidently more than maintained its past

very able and excellent principal Miss
Alexander, upon the success and prosperity of their important work.
During the past two years, very large
additions have been made to the block
of school buildings, and the ancient and
unsightly structures in front have been
removed, giving place to a clean lawn
and drive-way. Another large wing is in
contemplation, to occupy the site of the
old stone printing office still forming
part of the block. Large as the additions have been, they have failed to keep
up with the increase of numbers, now
reaching nearly 140.
The Kawaiahao Seminary is under
the care of the Hawaiian Board, who
appoint its trustees. The ground is the
property of the A. B. C. F. M. It is
supported by a charge of fifty dollars
per annum to each pupil, covering board
and tuition; by capitation fees of sayone thousand dollars from the Government, and by a large amount of beneficent contributions for building, furnishing and support of scholars.
The sister seminary of East Maui is
doing a like excellent work. These
boarding and training schools for both
sexes are now the chief instrumentalities for the continued elevation of the

The graduating exercises of the College took place on I'riday evening June
22d in Central Union Church, which
was most profusely decorated for the
occasion with our sub-tropic wealth of
roses, lilies, ferns and palms. Rich and
sweet music was supplied by organ,
piano, and the voices of the students of
both sexes, aided by Mrs. Van Slyke.
The voice of Levi C. Lyman was a
favorite one, and the delightful "Sweet
Home" of Miss Hessie Dickson on the
piano.
Each of the four young gentlemen
and four young ladies making up the
class of '88 appeared in turn upon the
stage. There was a lively and humorous
Salutatory by May C. Dillingham. William J. Forbes delivered a forcible and

NORTH PACIFIC MISSION INSTITUTE.
Graduating

Exercises —Eleven New
Preachers.

Kawaiahao Church was filled last
Sunday evening, by a large audience
chiefly of Hawaiians, who came to listen
to the graduating exercises of eleven
young preachers who have completed a
four years course of study in the North
Pacific Mission Institute, under the care
of Rev. C. M. Flyde, D.D., assisted in
the work of instruction by Rev. H. 11.
Parker, the pastor ofKawaiahao Church.
The young men with three fellow-students under-graduates, making fourteen
in all, were seated upon the large platform with their teachers and two Hawaiian pastors who had assigned parts
in the exercises. The appearance and
bearing of the young men was that of
cultured and civilized gentlemen, in a
higher degree than in any similar class
we have ever seen in former years.
Four speeches were made by selected
members of the graduating class, of
about six minutes each, of course in the
native language. Their topics were
theological, evidently assigned to them,
and all relating to the Holy Spirit. All
evinced thoughtful study, and careful
statement, not devoid of practical application and sound feeling upon their important themes. As usual with Hawaiians, their delivery was vigorous and
animated. To the foreigners present
familiar with the language this portion
of the exercises was unusually interesting and attractive, not tedious as sometimes, as the judicious principal had
secured a rare brevity and conciseness.
Four musical selections in Hawaiian
were rendered with excellent force and
feeling by the fourteen young men, supported by two of Berger's band. It is
encouraging to see our young pastors
beginning their work with so much musical culture.
A public examination of these young
men was held on the Wednesday previous, in the subjects of church history,
exposition of several psalms, pastoral
theology, and Christian doctrine. Thoroughness of instruction was shown, and
marked progress in the school from previous years. Those familiar with the
school are assured that it is steadily
and strongly advancing in all respects.
The men now going out are many of
them already called to pastorates in
native churches; it is hoped that suitable locations for all may soon be procured. The position of a Hawaiian
pastor is usually humble; his support is
meagre; he often becomes disheartened.
He needs the encouragement and active
support of white Christians in his vicinity; he should have frequent visitation
and help from white missionary workers,
if such there were to incite and inspirit
him. But with all their drawbacks, the
work of these humble native pastors is
of inestimable value, both spiritually
and materially, to the population of

these islands, keeping alive the sacred
flame of spiritual life in a multitude of
otherwise heathenized souls.
In maintaining this important work,
the N. P. M. Institution is the chief
agency. Dr. Hyde has wrought therein,
now for eleven years, ably patiently, and
with very great success. A large class
of new students is promised to take the
places of those now graduating. The
institution, like all others, needs frequent
help, and requires some expenditure.
The Hawaiian Hoard have formally approved of Dr. Hyde's present effort to
raise money for the erection of new
buildings to replace the old, dilapidated,
and ill-adapted structures which have
hitherto poorly accommodated the school.
He has already secured f 1,500, and
needs several times that amount.

Mrs. Rogers, wife of the Captain of
the ship jfosephus, gives a pleasant report of a call at Pitcairn's Island on the
twenty-first of last January. There are
IIS inhabitants, all named Young,
Christian or McCoy. Miss Rosalind
Young is writing up a history of the island. Herfather is preacher and teacher.
About one year ago the people adopted
the views of the Seventh-day Adventists.
They have no neighbors to be troubled
by a difference in sacred time. The ship
was well supplied with oranges, cocoanuts, pumpkins, watermelons, sweet potatoes, eggs, fowls and flowers. Twenty-five of the people staid on board to
supper, and spent the evening in singing hymns, etc.

Mr. T. Shimidzu has just returned
from a tour among the Japanese on
Kauai. He reports live as desirous of
Christian Baptism. Gambling has become a prevailing vice among some
companies of these Japanese. To such
an extent has this been carried, that
they will have no funds at the expiration
of their contracts, to return to their
homes, if they pay their gambling debts.
The services at Queen Emma Hall are
kept up with steady interest. Rev. W.
C. Harris, of the Japanese M. F. Mission, S. F., is expected on the next
steamer.

Miss Alice C. Little is in Honolulu,
on her way to labor in the Training
School for Gilbert Islanders on Kusaie.
Her Class graduated June 20th, at Oberlin College. Rev. Mr. Snelling and. wife
were detained in San Francisco by illness of the latter, but are expected down
by the steamer due on the 6th. It is
hoped that the Morning Star will sail
by the middle of the month. Mr. and
Mrs. Snelling are to take the place of
the Logans at Ruk.

WORLD'S CONVENTION.

The Eleventh Convention of Young
Men's Christian Associations of all
lands will be held in Stockholm, Sweden,
August 15-19. Mr. C. M. Cooke,
Chairman of our Finance Committee,
has been appointed a delegate to represent this Association for the first time
at a World's Convention. He sailed by
the Zealandia, June 30th, for San
Francisco.
He will then proceed to
New York, where he will join the
American delegation, for whom special
excursion arrangements have been
made, they to leave New York by the
City of Berlin July 21st. Mr. Cooke
will be accompanied by his brother, Mr.
A. F. Cooke, and they expect to be absent about three months.
The last World's Convention was
held in Berlin in 1884. There were 297
delegates present, 46 of whom were
from America.
Honolulu affords a rare opportunity
for Christian workers to engage in foreign missionary work right at our own
doors. This was illustrated in a striking manner on a recent Sunday morning
at the Immigration Depot; when something over a thousand Japanese men and
women, stood for nearly an hour, eager
to catch the earnest words of Rev. Mr.
Miyama and others, who spoke to them
of the "way of life," from a moral and
spiritual standpoint.

The many friends whom Prof, and
Mrs. Sydney Dickinson made when
here last year were glad to welcome
them again last month. Prof. Dickinson was en route to the Colonies, but
stopped long enough to give us two
finely illustrated lectures on European
scenery and art, that drew large and
appreciative audiences. At the close of
the lectures several Hawaiian views that
had been specially prepared to illustrate
a lecture on the Islands, were thrown
upon the canvas. They were quite
unique and elicited enthusiastic applause.
AT THE "HUB."

At the Thirty-seventh Anniversary of
the Young Men's Christian Association
of Boston, His Excellency Governor
Ames honored the occasion by his presence as one of the speakers.
The General Secretary in his report
stated that 4,923 different young men
had belonged to the Association during
the year, of whom 903 were enrolled in
15 evening classes.
In the gymnasium 1,470 young men
had enjoyed healthful exercise and recreation, this being the highest attained
during its history. Situations had been
furnished to 420 applicants for work.
The average daily attendance at the
main building and the Tremont St.
branch was estimated to be about 800.
The current expenses were $28,732.47
for the year which closed with a balance
of $55.06 in the treasury.
The Boston Association was first organized in the United States, and has
always ranked among ihn first in practical, efficient work for the salvation of
young men.
Massachusetts and Rhode Island have
associated together in their State work,
and now have in the two States sixtyfour Young Men's Christian Associations, including two railroads and eight
college associations, with 19,906 members, of whom 967 are college students.

BRIEFS.

The Y. M. C. A. boys voted last
month to discontinue their meetings
until after the summer vacation. They
will meet September Ist for the election
of officers and to plan for the work of
the new year.

It was difficult to obtain quiet for the
speech making that followed, but the
Stentorian lungs of Mr. W. B. Keanu
of Wailuku finally secured the attention
of all the audience, except the small
boys who Were too intent after Horn's

Hon. H. S. Townsend followed in
English, his remarks being interpreted
by Hon. H. Waterhouse. Mr. T. G.
Gribble then held the attention of the
listeners in a crisp speech interpreted
by Hon. A. F. Judd. Revs. S. L. Desha
and E. S. Timoteo, always favorites
with a Hawaiian audience, closed the
speech making and the procession was
formed by the committee who, distinguished by large rosettes, acted as
marshals.
Led by the band and the blue banner
of silk, the procession—consisting first
of Sunday school children, next of women, then of boys and lastly of men,
all four deep, at least -MIO persons
marched out of the gate. The line of
march was down Nuuanu street to King,
then up King to Fort street, and up
Fort to Beretania, thus passing the
majority of the liquor saloons, whose
destructive work ruining the Hawaiians
it is the object of this Society to suppress.
On reaching Queen Emma Hall again
the band played some time longer, and
the people gradually scattered homeward.

i: VI MAX M'll I.
During the annual meeting of the
Hawaiian Evangelical Association, in

Honolulu. June. 1837, Rev. Lowell
Smith and wife were requested to commence a new station at Kaumakapili nei.
The native grass houses were very
numerous at that time: and we found it
very difficult to secure a suitable lot for
the mission family, and another for the
school-house.
In those days, the land all belonged
nominally to the King and high chiefs.
Most of the land in this neighborhood
belonged to I'aki. one of the high chiefs.
But like the centurion in the Gospel,
who said to one man go. and he goeth;.
and to another come, and he Cometh; so
this high chief commanded two or three
families to vacate, and he would furnish
them houses in some other locality.
In this way. a little oblong square,
about one-fourth of an acre, was obtained
for the mission premises: and another
for the school-house yard.
Our first work was to build a dwelling

house and a large school-house. I think
it was some time in November when we
were ready to commence operations in
this part of the town.
In the good providence of God, this
was just at the commencement of the
great celebrated revival, which continued
three years (more or less); and when
chiefs and people, all over the islands,
were easily persuaded to meet often for
prayer and praise to Almighty (rod, and
lo Listen to the reading and preaching oi
the Gospel, For the want of a suitable
house of worship, we used to meet in
the school-house on the Sabbath, and
for early morning prayer meetings. But
we soon found that the school-house did
not accommodate one-halfofthe Sabbath
congregation; and we built a large lanai
in the front yard, and covered ii with
rushes to keep off the sun. and strewed
the ground with grass and rushes forthe
people to sit down upon, a la Hawaii.
My pulpit was the door sill, with half
of my congregation in the house and
half outside. I was then in the prime of
life, and, with the aid ol the Holy Spirit,
I found ii very easy to preach line upon
line, and precept upon precept, and thus
feed the sheep and lambs with the bread
and watei of life.
On tiie first day of April. 1838, Rev.
H. Bingham, assisted me in organizing
a church under the lanai of the school
bouse; twenty-two persons were received by It Iter from the Kawaiahao Church,
two from Ewa, and one from Kauai,
and forty-nine were received on profession of their faith in Christ, This was
immencement of the Kaumakapili
Church lift}' years ago.
Soon alter the organ i lation of the
church, we resolved to arise and build a
large adobe meeting house: the walls

to be :; feet thick, 125 feel long and HO
feet wide inside. To have eight large
doors for ingress and egress, and sixteen
large windows for light and ventilation.
Our fust iil.in was to build it twenty feet
high, with a gallery on each side. But
when the walls were up fourteen or fifteen feet high, the adobes began to
crush about the doors and windows:
and it was then obvious that it would
not be sale to put a heavy rool upon a
We then

decided to raise the walls only twelve
feet, dispense with the galleries, ceil the
audience room overhead with lath and
plaster; plaster the walls inside and out.
build a verandah seven feet wide all
around the house, and when thus finished, the audience room and its spacious
verandah would accommodate 2,600
persons who could hear the preacher.
We were one year and four months
in building that house of worship; and
it was dedicated on the twenty-ninth
day of August, IBS* ( HI years ago).
For its acoustic properties, that audience room was admired by all preachers,
orators, and concert singers.
A good,
clear, conversational voice could be heard
distinctly through the room, and also

by those who stood around the doors
and windows.
For thirty years I was the officiating
clergyman and pastor of the Kaumakapili Church and congregation, and administered the ordinances of baptism
and the Lord's Supper to more than
.'i.oiio persons.
Subsequently to my
resignation in 1868. on account of
asthma and deafness, three other clergymen we re called and installed in the following order:
First, Rev. A.(). Forbes from Molokai. who served two or three years, and
then accepted a call to go to Lahaina

I una.

X'ext, Rev. G. W. Pilipo at Kailua,
Hawaii, came and served two or three
years, till dismissed by the Hawaiian
Evangelical Association.
The next person called was Rev. M.
Kuaea, pastor of the church at Lahaina,
who was very popular among us for
several years. He took a gieat interest
in collecting funds for this new house
of worship. And i! was during bis in
cumbency and at his command that the
old bouse was loin down in 1881,
and the foundation of this new house
of worship was commenced. But before the walls were finished he was
afflicted with softening of the brain, and
unable to attend to his pastoral duties.
:md died on the sth of May, 1884, some
lour sears ago.
Yes, the old house, and most of the
peopll who helped build ii, have passed

away.

Another generation are

the tage, who have built this large two
story brick house, with two splendid
steeples ; and have furnished it with a

And we have assembled this morn in;.
to dedicate this house to the worship ol
