PEOPLE of Hawaii are more religious, al least IN

ties Of civilization, but in all those advantages
which the Bishop is anxious 10 bestow, the
people Of any OF our large towns are in an I'M
Ineasurably worse condition than these islanders
of the Pacific and in any corner of those towns
the Bishop would find scope for Christian exertion
quite a. extensive as in the whole Of Queen
Emma's dominions. What is the secret Of the
bishops zeal? When the work is done already,
done triumphantly, done with a completeness
not yet realized in any other part Of the world,
why should he talk to us a. if Hawaii were a
heather land. whose inhabitants must perish,
spiritually and morally. but for our aid? The
secret is here. The American missionaries are
= Puritans - these schools and congregations
are all Puritan. while Queen Emma is a n~eophyte
Of the E. High Church" and the Bishop is per
Suaded that no country can be regarded as other
than Pagan. if destitute of a ministry in the
fall line OF apostolical descent. If the Bishop
would acquaint his audiences with the exact
facts he would get very little money. English
people may be rather sectarian at home, but, 10
do them Justice. they d. not care about quarrel
ling over the souls OF converted savageS. They
would give handsomely 10 make those sayages
Christians, but not 4 farthing 10 make them
High Church proselytes; and this, we are sorry
II say, Is the sole object of the Bishops advocacy.
