ciety and refuteda statementmade
bv the arch-enemy of the reyer-
end gentleman, James II. Blount.
The commissioner whose report
has more value than any other
historical work on Hawaii says:
at may be remarked as sig
nifcant fact, that with two ex-
ceptions. the children OF the mis-
sionaries neglected to enter the
chosen field Of their fathers, they
seeming quite content to let the
souls Of he gentle Islanders take
their chances, while for them
selves they generally preferred
lives which gave promise OF more
tangible rewards for thrift and
energy.
1t will be seen that Mr.. Blount
only refers to those sons OF mis-
sionaries, who have devoted their
time TO save the souls of the
gentle Islanders. - Mr.. Bishop
answers him by mentioning the
name Of twelve "sons of mission
aries" of whom the very large
majority have not done duty as
soul-saviors in Hawaii-nei.
Mr.. Blount did not say word
about Ethe efforts of these mis-
sionary sons in other spheres.
He simply said, that only two
had devoted their time and
strength to do the soul business
in Hawaii-nei.
And according to the Reverend
Serene L. Bishop, he certainly
was correct.
The following sons" are men
toned as missionaries, but they
certainly did not work in the Ha-
waiian field of religion where
their fathers and brothers made
fortunes, but confined themselves
to other climates:
l. l.. II. Gulick spent his time
in the South Seas, America and
in pleasure trip to Spain and
Italy where he converted" Rom
an Catholics
2. J. I. Gulick is an "evolu-
tionary" scientist in Japan.
3. Hiram Bingham devoted his
time in translating the bible to
the Gilbert Islanders-and we
trust they digested it.
4. OH Gulick breaches Christ
ianity-not to Hawaiian but to
japanese in Hawaii.
5. W.Gulick is trying to Christ
ianize, the most Christian coun-
try called Spain which according
to the A. B. G. f. (and the rest
of the alaphabet) is in a sad state
of heathenism, and he is also a
connoiseur of Spanish wines.
8. T. l.. Guliek also considered
Spain a successful field for con-
version and he used earthquakes
and dynamite explosions in a
most sensational manner.
Z. T. w. Damon. whose father
was not missionary" is saving
Chinese souls but take no interest
in Hawaiians
Z. S. C. Armstrong educated
niggers and Indians in the United
States but devoted no time to as
sisting Hawaiians to heaven, as
did his ku-i dancing brother
when he at Kslakaua's court piled
them with bad gin.
There consequently of the list
presented by the Reverend Bishop
remain only four who staid in
Hawaii. We leave it to the pub
lic to say what benefit any of them
ever had upon the natives or how
many souls they ever tried to
save. Not as many as the kuleaaas
which they did safe. There is

land-specnlator and has occasion

gregation into insanity through
