Savases Turned Missionaries.
The kanakas. once missionary OBJ

support mission work among their own
people, and for AZ years have been
generous givers to missionary work
on the Gilbert islands. and elsewhere
in Polynesia. At least 20 native Ha-
waiians have gone out as missionaries.
There are now 75 ordained. native
ministers on the islands The theo-
logical seminary for natives, the Mid
Pacific institute, is just now expand
ing. so as to include in one organiza-
ton the boards three schools, which
begin the new era with an enrolment
of more than 800 students.
The benefits to Hawaii from tho
missionary invasion may be summar-
lied as follows: The naked savage
was clothed. A reign of law and
justice was established. People ceased
to be mere vassals of king; and the
lands, instead of belonging entirely to
the rulers. were apportioned among
the Inhabitants. Self-government was

reduced to writing, and a system of
