own feelings TO grow too heated, or too

| They, too. were men of human infirmi-
| ties, and doubtless in their ardor of
zeal for the reclamation of Hawaiians,
and in the heat of contest with reck-
less enemies of the right, these earn
est servants of Christ at times failed
in their full duty Of Christian moder-
alton and forgiveness. Yet for the
most part the missionary sought with
great labor and love for the souls OF
these ocean wanderers. and organized
efforts for their reclamation and con-
version. Many wandering sailors were
then brought to repentance and faith:
for they were not class of man gen.
orally hardened and desperate In wick
edness.
At an early date the American Sea.
mems Friend Society responded TO the
appeals Of the missionaries in Hawaii.
In 1888, the Rev. John Dell and wife
arrived in Honolulu as Seamen's chap
lain in the same ship with the beloved
Mother Parker Mr.. Dell Immediately

tinued for fifty-four years on the cor

there for six years until he succumbed
to consumption.
He was succeeded in 1912 by the Rev.
Samuel C.. Damon, who for forty years
was such tower of Christian strength
in Honolulu.
The missionaries at Lahaina were al |
so active in labors for the numerous
seamen at that port, notably Rev. Lor- |
rim Andrews, who resigned from Laha- |
inaluna Seminary, and devoted himself |
to work for Seamen. In May, 1848, the |
Rev. Townsend E. Taylor was sent to |
Lahaina by the Seamen's Friend So |
ciety. After four years, he left there /
for Honolulu, but was succeeded in /
the chaplaincy in 1853 by Rev. S. E. |
Bishop who continued in that service

the native chiefs to put restrictions
| upon the grosser vices of the seamen.
| and this was deeply resented by the
| latter.
The result was that there grew to
exist deep and permanent animosity
| of the scattering men against the mis-
sionaries. And this sentiment was
strongly shared by nearly ali the white
residents and traders. whose own lives
were generally immoral. and whose
trade depended upon the good will OF
the whalemen. 1t was impossible that
the pure lives and moral teachings Of
the missionaries should not constitute
"a deep and permanent ofsense TO men
who had, as was said. left their con-
sciences at Cape Horn" and were dis
porting themselves in a region where
Gods commandments did not run. The
result was the constant practise by
the goddess whites both on shore and
shiDboard OF the most scornful and
groundless calumnies against the mis-
sionaries. as well as of active opposi-
ton to the moderate restrictions pIac-
ed against vice by the chiefs under
missionary teaching.
This condition of moral and social
hostility was a chronic one as long as
the supplying of ships continued to be
the main commercial resource In these
islands. There were a few noble Chris
tan men among the masters and Of
f1cers of the whaleships whose warm
friendship the missionaries greatly |
priced. Also in the later thirties and |
in the forties there came to be an In
creasing class of white residents from |
America, including Christian ladies, |
whose sympathies were largely with |
the missionaries, although not always |
able to refuse an ear to the tide OF /
calumny.
It would doubtless be too much to |
claim that in this protracted and bit
ter antagonism the missionaries COM
mitted no errors, nor allowed their

Several tenants of a house in the Quarter
st. Lambert now express sincere regret for
some practical jokes they perpetrated on
their landlady, Nine. Mayet. aged So Nine.
Mayet was, in fact, literally frightened to
death. Some weeks ago she approached
the police conmissary of the quarter, and
said as follows: Il request your Intervention
to help drive out the bad spirits WHICH
infest my house. They haunt It day and
night and disturb me by their rapping at
the wall. They even enter the apartments
of my tenants. one of whom has given me
notice this morning that he will quit IL
the nuisance does not cease" The police
commssary naturally concluded that the
old lady was Slightly unbalanced in her
mind, and a summary inquiry by two
policemen confirmed his view. Two days
ago, however, Nine. Mayet was found dead
in her bed and there was every indication
that she had died Of fright Al her funeral
the tenants sent a magnificent crown OF
flowers, with the inscription, Many re
grets." The police commissary questioned
them closely, and they admitted that they
had themselves been the rapping spirits.
They wanted the old lady TO leave her
house and go live elsewhere. and had
her was to brighten her. They were very
sorry that it had such a tragic result
and that why they sent the flowers
with their regret. The police officer rep
rimanded them severely. and warned them
that the next time a crown Of flowers and
words of regret at a funeral would not be
