The Hawaiian Death-Praver.

Upon the minds of such iest-ridden
people as the Hawaiians were, while
under their ancient form of religion. it
was but natural that superstition should
gain a rooted hold. The most curious
and effective belief to which they were
made subject was that man can be
prayed to death-a belief that survives
among the natives TO the present dav.
For the success of the tragical death
prayer it was necessary to obtain some
hair or piece of finger nail of the in
tended victim. A priest was then en-
ployed to use incantation and PRAYER for
his destruction. The efficacy of PRAYER
was terribly illustrated in these cases and
the results prove how deeply supersti-
tious fear was implanted in the Hawaiian's
heart Always informed of the doom
that the priest was invoking upon him.
the victim generally pined away and
died.
There is story current that an English
man in the service OF Kamehameha l..
having incurred the displeasure of a
priest. the latter proceeded to remove"
him by the death-prayer process. The
Anglo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi-
ton altar in derision, and jokingly pro-
claimed that he intended to pray the
priest to death. Alarmed at the threat.
and overwhelmed at the failure of his
own incantations, the sorcerer died. prov
ing by his death his faith in his religion.
