HOW HAWAIIAN PEOPLE
WERE WON FROM SAVAGERY

| Rev. DR.. S. E. Bishop contributed the
following interesting article to the cur
rent Friend:
When Bingham and Thurston, with
their associate missionaries, arrived in
Hawaii in 1920, they found the $50, 00C
Hawaiians a nation of depressed serfs,
under oppressive and arrogant chiefs.
They We're deeply degraded in morals
Social impurity was universal, and en-
HANGED by the presence of a multitude
of careless and dissolute seamen.
Drunken rioting was prevalent; the
royal princes and their consorts were
very commonly found debauched with
liquor.
While under the lead of the wise and
able Kamehameha civil aorder pre-
vailed, and life and personal security
were generally safe. The common
people were exceedingly poor; they
owned no land, and no property that
their chiefs could not rob them of at
will; there was no inducement to save
or accumulate.
and chiefs as well, spread the dark and
abject fear of the sorcerers, whose
power to bewitch and destroy held all
in constant dread. Such was the bar
barian depression of the Hawaiians
when the Gospel of Christ arrived here
to deliver and elevate them, and the
missionaries fell actively to work, aid
ed by many successive bands of help
ers.
What was the result of those labors?
No labors were ever more fruitful, no
result more wonderful and gratifying.
Within two decades more than one
third of the adults had come into
personal and joyful allegiance to the
Lord, and the rulers had earnestly be-
gun to frame civilized statutes. Be
fore the third decade was finished the
whole people had been set free, and
endowed with lands and advanced Civ
il Rights. A Liberal Constitution had
been enacted. Parliamentary Govern
ment had been fully organized. The
common people had all received pos
session of their lands in fee simple.
In less than thirty years Hawaii
stood before the world as a substan-
TALLY civilized nation. Before 1850, so
complete was the development of civ
ilized institutions, Of Legislature and
Courts, of Law and Justice, of system
attic and economical administration,
that the Great Powers of the world
gladly united in the acknowledgment
of the independence of Hawaii, and in
treaties with her as a favored nation.
Now, we have to ask, how was this
reform and renovation accomplished?
What was the method of healing ap-
piled to cure the deep and destroying
of heathenism? How was
barbarous and hopeless people lifted so
quickly into light and hope and lib
erty and prosperity? How did they
become in thirty years clothed and en-
riched, and free? And what is the
lesson taught by this marveIlously sue
cessful process of the reclamation of
a nation?
The answer is one that sends confu-
sion upon this new modern cry, that
mems minds are not to be turned upon
their own personal salvation after the
religious way, but are to
set Directly upon saving society from
its evils. and uplifting one another To
seek ones own salvation, we are told

Twas the night before Christmas,
And all through the house,
Not a creature was stirring,
Not even a mouse.
When mama awoke withsa start and
shake,
And wondered why papa
Was so wide awake;
A rumbling and roaring
Soon came to their ears
A noise that would follow them,
All through their years.
For down near the bath room
The water rushed out.
And it caused poor papa
And mama to shout.
"Oh, why did we make such a fearful
mistake"
"Oh, John dear, fear that
My poor heart will break,
Unless you will promise
That tomorrow you'll call
Bath, the plumber, and have him
Go over it all.
And then no more leaks,
For we know that it's true,
That folks always call Bath
When there's plumbing to do"

that IS needed TO assure one that
where man is woman is sure TO be
found. and every lodge, every. secret
organization and every social power
has gradually come to recognize the
fact and has opened its door to women
in general.
II took centuries to convince the
Knight TemDlars that the order Of
the Eastern Star would be good in
stituticn and that their wives and
daughters could, in d measure, feel
that they were not entirely secluded
from all things Masonic. The odd
Fellows found a-place for their ladies
fair in the Rebecca Iodgeroom and
the Red Men sought their Pocahontas
that they might have war dance
every now and then. Even the Native
Sons looked about and sighed discon-
soIately until the Daughters shared
some of their secrets and then caused
them TO think twice before speaking
once.
And so one will find il all the way
through whichever way one glances.
For every Jack there is a Jill and no

than the women begin casting their
eyes about and formulating plans
The San Francisco call., 1904-09-04

That spirit prevails to-day. Men had
secret organizations and business meet
ings Women endured it for a time
and then because they couldn't usurp
these rights determined to have these
selfsame things for themselves and on
just as exclusive a plan. They insti-
tuted lodges. formed clubs and had all
sorts of meetings of their own and
what is the result? A broader mind,
more contented spirit and a better
sense of fellowship. People who are
interested in outside Goings have little
or no time to fret and worry over petty
trials that come to every home. And
for that matter coming in direct con-
tact with thinking men and women

they are better able to cope with their

something too small and too trifiing

The system in, st. Louis is probably
the best in the United States, or was
until an unkind fate interfered with
the progress of destiny in the franchise
business. The great advantage of the
st. Louis method is that the whole
thing has been reduced to a substantial
dollars and cents basis. If you want
anything, from the smallest office to
the biggest Office holder. you know just
how much it will cost and who has the
goods. Then there is the Colorado sys-
