" A Prince in the Tolls. -

Mr.. EDITOR: There are some
things that even newspaper
should hold sacred, and not report
in a loose, fippant manner, as your
reporter did in yesterdays issue.
Surely, immersion" an institution
established by Christ, is not sub
ject of ridicule, to be reported of as
"ducking" in a Christian or semi
Christian land.
There never has been dispute
about immersion. Christ and his
disciples used the only word
known to all classes of people in
their day for immersion" when
speaking about baptism. Indeed,
baptism, is the only Greek word
(anglicized) for Immersion" Ran
tized is the angIicized Greek word
for sprinkling, and as I have previ-
ously shown, was not acknowl-
edged as of sufficient Importance
to take the place of baptism until
the 18th century, when the Church
of Rome sanctioned it, and there
are Professionals who still cling to
the authority of the Pope and ram
tie in lieu of baptize. They pre-
fer the authority of the Pope to
the Word of God.
In reference to my causing the
arrest of Prince Kunuiakea, 1 re-
mark that it was very unwilling
task for me to do so. AS is well
known, it is difficult for the prince
to have the wherewith to buy In
toxicating drinks and remain sober.
He has license for shooting and
while under the influence of liquor
he shoots recklessly. l called on
him twice and told him that his
shots endangered the life of my
household, and therefore desired
him to cease shooting so close.to
my place. He persisted in the use
OF his firearms. I then called on
the Deputy Marshal who said
could have him arrested. / de-
clined doing SO, but wished the
Marshal to notify him that he must
cease that nuisance. The prince
gave no heed to the instructions of
the Marshal, and on last Thursday
fired load of shot which lodged
in my fence close to my door. II
then got out warrant for his
arrest and AFT the aama Tina pa.
quested the judge not to punish
him, but to give him to understand
that if he repeats the nuisance the
full penalty of the law will be
meeted out to him. Those who |
know the prince cannot help but be |
astonished to learn that he holds q |
license to use firearms. This is a |
wonderful government. A change
in some of the departments is much |
needed.
