The calm which the faithful at ,hAI

over the mind Of Kinau, ceased not to e,]

enact the old laws which had been abolJ
ishcd, but made it her business to wa,cbl

American Mcthodisls had received re
enforcement. Counting the new bretInD|
who had come to them from the United
States, there were in the archirclayo, n|
July, 1885, i43 of these scc,aries seated

kumus, or subordinate school master,
were still more numerous, and ,houuh|

capiives, that the next day, if they did
not embrace the Protestant worship, their
cottages should be demolished, their prop
" coufiscaied, and the women separated
from their husbands. " "1'he women re-
piled that. unless orders were received
from the chief in person. they would sut-
fer all kinds of i'll treatment, and he killed
on the spot, sooner than submit TO the
separation. Affairs remained in this situ-
alton till September |. They then de-
ciGed to put the prisoners in IRONS. and
had already begun with little Margaret,
aged seven years, when Esther Uheie
trmly opposed them, and succeeded in
having them brought before The chief, be-
fore submitting to this new punishment.
She went, followed by Philip, Helena and
several other christians. In passing near
the enclosure of the English consul they
attempted to enter; for they calculated
on his protection. Being Informed by
Esther of the new ri9ors with which the
captivcs were threatened, the consul said
to the guard that accom- anied them,-
."You wretch is it you who would put
these poor people in irons, merely on ac-
count of their religion? Are they drunk
ards or thieves: Have they killed any
body, or do they 1--we a bad life: Is il
the king, or the commander of the Fort.
that authorizes you to treat them with
such barbarily? No, but it is Bingham,
who is ,yrant, and you, vile man, go not
step ,ur'her. IwiI 90 and speak TO the
king, to have you put in irons YOURSELF"
At the same time he drove him away, and
KEEP, the christians, whom he took iI,o his
house. The guard abasfcd, went and
told Kirau what bad passed and received
no answer from her. BY the intervention
of the consul, all the prisoners in the fort
obtained their liberty, September II,
| S32, after abou, eight months OF suffer-
ing, during which they endured hunger,
thirst, and all sorts of humliations. Some
of them died soon after, victims of this
base treatment.
Hclimu, that good catechumen, the
mother of the little Margaret, was the first
whom God called to himself. She died,
after having received baptism, December
Is, 1882. She had a lively faith. ardent
zeal and great courage Philip died March
I3, 1888. Thoug h a prisoner, he hap
pened to be absent, when, in July, 1899,
the kumus demanded of the christian cap.
tves what was their resolution. Being
informed of what had passed, he said,
:" If had been present, would have an
swered with pleasure, [avec douccur. as
for us, to take away our faith, which is of
God, it is necessary TO take away life"
Helena went to take posse ssion of heav-
ell January 20. 1885. Esther had pre-
ccdcd her, October 9, 1884.
Notwithstanding the persecution, the
christians showed an ardent desire for in.
s,ruc'ion, and much zeal in teaching TO
others what they had learned. Among
those who made themselves as it were the
apostles of their brethren, Simon, Vale
rian, Eugcnius* and John Paena dis,in-
guished themselves by their earncsiuess
and their charity. John Paena had pc
culiar talent for insructing the most ig-
norant He was all on fire for that good
work. His death, which took Place Au.

was no less irnmovable. He was always
Submissive; though the guards, with II rec
finement Of barhatity. would rot permit
his mother Monica TO lead him and assist
him in his labors. After the death of
Kaahumana. which occurred on the 9TH
Of June, Kinau and Karuohi took adyan-
tsge Of the influence they enjoyed, to con-
,inuc the persecution. In June, 1892,
the wall which the prisoners were required
to build, was completed. and the guards
asked them what was ihtIr thought. They
replied, L" 1t is, that We Gil go home, as
our work is done" One of the guards
replied, IA order to 80 home, you must
reject the prayers OF The missionaries, their
God, and their i>!oiatry." The christians
answered, by the mouth Of Didymus, tha,
they could not cease to serve the Lord.
Then q kumu declared that TIE men
should make five lalhoms more of wall
Didymus three; tDat the women should
be separated from their husbands, and
sent among the girls Of bad character !;
that they should be employed in cutting
rushes, and building walls Of earth in the
marais murs en- terre dams less nlarais.
These new threats did not shake their
constancy. The courageous Esther said
some days afterwards, "lf we are sent
back, we shall go; but if we are required TO
attend Bngham's prayer, we shall remain
prisoners till death ;" and she pronounced
these words with her usual cheerlulncss.
When it was thought that the consiancy Of
the coniessors had been,ired ou, by i'll treat
ment, kumu came again to induce them
to renounce their God. The christians
answered him, 1--WE are ignorant (,key
had often been reproached with ignor-
ance.) we do not know how to reject our
God, or to deny our belief. You, who
ore enlightened, know how to contradict
yourselves and make retractions couper
ct retrancher] just as you please" The
kumu made no reply. and went away an
grey. Bingham himself went to see them,
holding in his hand prayer book, ac-
cording to the custom a rusagel of the
Methodists, and he offered them their lib
erty if they would make use of that book :;
but they refused. " We are ignorant"
they told him "we do not know how TO
read that book" Enraged at what he
called their obs,inacy, the minister COM
planned to the queen, and had additional
tasks imposed upon them.
"All the foreigners were shocked at
the cruel treatment of so many innocent
persons. A ship owner, who happened
to be at Woahu, in March, 1892, went
to see the prisoners, and earnestly ex-
pressed his indignation against the Meth
odists. The commander Of an American
ship Of war, which arrived at Honolulu
in August following, took part decidedly
[s'elevc avec forcel against Bingham, in
the presence of the chiefs, charged him
with many knavish tricks, Ifourhcyics the
banishment OF the Catholic priests, &C.;
and Bingham wishing to cast the whole
upon the king, the young prince replied,
that he had done nothing except at the
instigation Of the Protestant ministers.
The English consul made his compassion
for the prisoners equally apparent. "Let
your Chiefs" said he to them, " give you
food; ; or let them allow you TO come to
me, and ! viii feed you" August 26,
