The Power of the Word Resurrection.

The Power of the Word Resurrection.
The skeptical mind may frame cues
tons as 1t will-death sternly refuses
to give it any satisfaction. The love Of
money may heap around us mountains of
gold. All this is but to lower the ratio
OF that which man is to that which
he possesses. The fever Of self indul-
gence may multiply our enjoyments, but
each new enjoyment is, for the common
run of men, new want, and each new
want Is new link in the chain of moral
servitude, new deduction from our high
prerogative of freedom. Schemes of ne

Nerves are weak. many people say,

CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE.
Lest | may be accused of quoting
all hostile witnesses, though the
witnesses we have quoted are OF un
impeachable character, let me turn
to DR.. Jarves for description of the
condition OF the people. After thirty
years of missionary rule this is his
verdict Up. 1859:
The great bulk of the people live
very much as did their ancestors, in
filthy huts and on impure diet, raw
fish and poi.
But other travellers seem to under
the impression that the unfortunate
kanakas are not as we'll off as their
ancestors.
Mr.. Melville says in 1916: "Not
until / visited Honolulu was | aware
of the fact that the small remnant
Of the natives have been civilized
into draught horses and evangelical
into beasts Of burden. But so it is"
And then he describes a missionary
spouse, who day after day, for
months together, took her regular
airings in little go-cart, drawn by
two of the islanders" och. XVI. p.
219).
This fact is confirmed by NJ.
Dupat de Maupras, who noticed that
"the natives now discharge the office
of beasts of burden" And by cor
respondent of the Sandwich Islands
"Gazette'' in 1889, who relates that
he saw "a heavy horse wagon drawn
by fifteen females, harnessed like
beasts Of burden, and found that
they were performing penance i'm
posed by the missionaries. Quoted
in Asiatic journal, vol. XXI, p. 49,
The Rev. Gustavus Hines, a mis-
sionary, testifes: Notwithstanding
all that has been done for their
benefit the state OF the native Ha-
waiians is truly deplorable," and
this after thirty years of preaching!
"To call them," he continues, "a
Christianized, civilized, happy and
prosperous people would be to mis-
lead the public mind in relation to
their true condition. To
an inquiry which made of the Rev.
Lowell Smith, one of the missionaries
in Honolulu, concerning the pros
perity Of the natives, | received this
reply: THE evident tendency Of
wings is downward" Uife on the
plains of the Pacific, p. 1922
The same Mr. Hines says that the
immortality of the converts was so
shameless that sit was not an easy
matter for Hawaiian to tell who
his father is" And Henry A. Tilley
in Japan, the Pacific, etc. Opp, 319,
32D declares: "You find a man
parading his religion one day to his
teachers and his fellows, and selling
his wife or daughter the next for a
dollar" eff Christianity" he adds,
"has ever impressed on their hearts
what virtue is, the mark has been
very light and soon obliterated."
Yet, Mr.. Editor, j. M. Alexander
Of Oakland considers that the Cath
Ollie priests were wholly unjustifed
in entering Hawaii to interfere with
