THE boy ORATORS SPEECH.
The following is an authorized re-
port of Bernard Kelekolio, the boy
Orators" address before the Christian
Endeavor Society of Waikane church,
Sunday afternoon. The boy Orator.
was invited by a number of Hawaiians
OF Waikane to address the society on
the subject of THE Christian at the
Rev. NJ. Kuakahi as g. young man who
had done good deal for his country
and who is now seeking legislative
honors:
II have not come in your beautiful
palace to make a political speech"
began the boy Orator." "but merely
for pleasure and pass my time in view
ing your beautiful green mountains.

has a broad meaning. It teaches US
to be true to ourselves in all our
dealings with every man, and, higher
than that to be true to God and be a
Christian at the ballot box.
ITO illustrate to you how grand this
subject is, I refer you to the great
Civil War between. the North and the
South: the South contending that they
had right to maintain the system OF
slavery, while the North commended
that all men are equal before the eyes
of the law
1T was a foregone conclusion that
in the year 1860. during the presiden-
tial election, that secession would fol-
low if Abraham Lincoln was elected.
and therefore between the presiden-
tial election in November 1860. and
the inauguration of Lincoln in the fol-
lowing spring was seized by the leaders
of the South as the opportune time for
dissolving the Union.
ION the 18th day of December, 1860,
South Carolina passed a resolution Sc
ceding from the Union, and on Feb
ruary. 1861, six other States-Missis
sippi, Florida, Alabama, Georgia, Lou
isiana and Texas-passed ordinances Of
Union. On February 4, 1851, delegates
from six of the seeded States assem-
bled at Montgomery and formed a new
government under the name of the
Confederate States of America,
while all these happened in the
South portending war should Abraham
Lincoln be elected. the people of the
North were in full accord that the
Union must be preserved and that this
degrading system of slavery should be
abolished. But how should this be
done? Only by the election of Abra- !
ham Lincoln, and the voters OF the |
North, like a wall Of granite, to pre- !
Serve the integrity of the Union and |
to abolish slavery, cast their Votes at
the ballot box like Christians, thus
proclaiming to the world that Abra-
ham Lincoln was elected President Of
the United States regardless of the ac-
tions of the seeding States.
Alexander H Stephens, Vice Presi-
dent of the Confederate states, pleaded
against secession on the ground that
the measure was impolitic, unwise and
likely to be disastrous in it's results
but his pleadings were not needed.
You know the rest, my dear friends
how this terrible war was fought for
four long years, a war fought by the
North with the two sole aims, first,
that the Union be preserved; secondly,
that the system of slavery be abol-
ished from the United States Of
America.
I'm conclusion, I would ask you that
when you approach the ballot box, no
matter where you are, remember that
