Here we were met by his highness,
the Catholic priest, who wanted to
do all the talking. We told him if
he desired to talk with us, we must
have half the time. He stated that

had told a falsehood, for when he
was here on earth he had said, con
this rock will build my Church
and the gates of hell shall not
prevail against it, hence there had
not been falling away from the

PERSONAL EXPERIENCE.
Continued

About this time I and elder Farrer
went to place on the Island of
Oahu where there were a Calvinist
and Catholic priest residing, whose
churches we're less than two miles
apart, both having fine chapels to
preach in, and the whole neighbor-
hood, more or less, members of their
churches. The natives on learning
who we were, opened their doors
for us to preach, and seemed very
interested in our message. We had
held few meetings when we were
told that the Catholic Priest had
said that we we're afraid to see him.
So, the next day we called upon his
highness. He was a Frenchman
and could not speak english and we
could not talk french, so our con-
versation was done in the native
language. He was very polite and
kind and enquired if we had been to
dinner. Learning we had moi, he
soon provided boiled Kalo and beet,
probably the best he had, which we
relished very much. He said he
was busily engaged translatldg the
New Testament into the native
language, that the Protestant trans
lation was incorrect in great many
places. Soon our conversation
turned on religion. We asked the
privilege to preach in his meeting
house, but he would not grant it..
The next day we called on white
man who said he came to the Islands
in 1916, married native lady and
raised a family. He treated us very
we'll and gave US dinner, consisting
of Sea biscuit, Coffee, sweet bread
and butter. When we told him who
we were, what our business was, &c,
he said he did not dispute what we
said. neither did he feel to find fault
with any person on account OF thelI
RELIGION but as for himself he chad
2 belief that he meant to stick to and
| did not mean to be turned away from
it" and seemed to manifest desire
that we leave his house, which we
did thanking him for the dinner ne
had given us. oL
We then gave the Calvinist preah'
er a call and asked to be allowed to
preach in his church. His name
was Emerson. He flew into a pas
sion and accused US of coming tf
the Islands to divide the Church o
Christ and said our doctrine was
distorted doctrine of the Bible, an(

HANDCART EXPERIENCE.

Continued.
The next day we made about 22l
miles, and a good many of our feet
we're sore and number had their
feet blistered, and we were all tired
indeed.
One brother more hardy than
many others, asked our little Frank
to again sing the Hand Cart song,
and methinks I now see him stamp
his little feet and wiring his hands
and yell at the top of his voice,
saying 81 will never sing it again"
and l think he kept his word.
We travelled on and came to-
large streams of water as the SHOWS
were melting very fast, in the dis
tant hills, and we had to wade and
carry our children, and some of us,
also carried our wives across the
streams, and pull our carts through;
and thus we travelled on, four or
five days, till our captain believed
we were in country where there
were plenty Of buffalo, SO we camp
ed for a day in order to hunt for
buffalo. There was grove OF
timber along q stream, not far off,
and our hunters started out. Their
outfit consisted Of six shotguns
and few pistols, and we travelled
on shanks ponies, but Of this, |
need not say much, only, when l
saw parties from other camps who
were we'll provided with rifles, am
unition, and good horses, L could
but laugh at our folly in attempt
ing to hunt buffalo on foot and
with such an outfit as that which
we had, but we had the best we
could procure, under the circum-
stances, and it was all we had to
either hunt with or protect our
selves from the red men OF the
plains, who, in those days, were
not very pleasant companions.
It was not very long ere WE
arrived at place called Genoa
which consisted of a few dugoutf
and one small house.
There were more mosquitoes a
this place than l had ever saw a
one time before.
There were two men here, witt
