INC hawaiian nen1h 49,

Upon the minds Of such people as
the Hawaiians were. while under their
ancient fogm OF religion, it was but
natural that superstition Should gain n
rooted hold. The most curious and ef
fectiye belief 70 which they were made
subject was that man can be PRAYED
TO seath, a belief hat survives among
The natives to tic present day. For
the success Of the iragical death prayer
Il WAS necessary to obtain some hair
or a piece OF finger nail Of the intended
victim. \ priest was then employed
TO use incantation and prayer for his
destruction. Always Informed Of the
doom that the priest was invoking uDon
him, the victim generally pinned away
and died.
There is e story that an Enslishman
In the service OF Kamelianeha |. hay
lug incurred the displeasure OF priest.
the Inter proceeded TO remove lin
BY the death prayer process. The An
slo-Saxon, however, set up an opposi.
ton altar in derlsion and jokingly pro.
claimed that lie intended 10 pray the
priest TO death. Alarmed at the threat
and overwhelmed at the failure OF his
own incanmtlons, the sorcerer died,
proving by his death his faith In his
religion.

no lack OF good company for everybody
