THURSDAY, SEPT. z, 1899.
THE REASON WHY.

The morning paper is puzzled
over the fact that the Protestants
are losing ground in Hawaii. We
see no reason why our contempor-
ary should be surprised. knowing as
it does the reason why the Hawai-
ians look askance at the church
which has proved unfriendly and
even hostile to them, and which in
the principal city of the country,
has become an exclusive and fashion
able society" affair. The Hawai-
ians who have been taught Christi
anity from their birth cannot under
stand the kind OF Christianity which
is practised by the Protestants, who
have robbed them OF their country,
who despise them in spite of protest.
ations of love, and who arrogantly
do not consider them or treat them
as their equals. How many Of the
descendants OF these virtuous mis-
sionaries OF whom we hear so much
have not had a Hawaiian mistress,
and how many OF them have had
the decency and honor to marry the
woman who shared their bed and
gave birth to their children7 We
have the missionary Stud book" be-
fore us, and il we had the space and
the patience we would print some
interesting chapters out OF it. The
Catholic Church treats the Hawai-
ians as she does every human being.
The Catholic priests go among the
Hawaiians, befriend them, treat
them as their equals, honor their
homes, advise them, exact no special
duties from them and they are in
their turn honored and beloved.
The Mormons act in the same way,
and whether Hawaiian uses cocoa
nut oil or Lubin's finest perfume,
they befriend them. The Protest
ants as represented by the Central
Union Church have killed Protest
antism in Hawaii, and the early mis-
sionaries have come to nought
through the actions OF their selfish,
money-grasping descendants.
