THE SUMMARY.

The benefits 70 Hawaii following the missionary
invasion may he summarized as follows: The
naked savage was clothed. A reign of law and
justice was established People ceased TO be mere
vassals of k,1g. and the lands instead Of belong
ing entirely to the rulers were apportiored among
the inhabitants. Seir-GOvernment instituted.
The Hawaiian tongue was reduced writing and
a system Of education introduced which to-day
compares favorably with that of the mainland.
A people without music Of whom it was said so
late as 1871 that their efforts 10 sing illustrated
energy rather than melody. have become famed mu-
sicans with band touring the large cities of the
continent Homes have been evolved where there
was little worthy Of that name. The spirit OF
chastity has been created within race 10 whom
