kahumanu'S Fight
AgainSts The Priests
Rev. A. d. Shaw. Phi. ID.

Rev. "A. ID. Shaw, Pm. ID.
That fierce warrior and sagacious
statesman, Kalaimoku, gave the last
hours of his active life to the sup
port of Christianity and the Mission.
But no brighter change was seen
than in Kahumanu. In the early days
of her heathenism she was a cruel,
naughty, imperious woman, the
glance of her angry eye carried ter
ror to all her crouching vassals. Not
a subject, however high his station
dared face her frown. Many suffered
death in her moments of irritation
and ungovernable temper.
Upon her conversion, her violent
outbursts of passion were checked.
The cold and contemptuous behavior
gave way before the warmth of her
love as a Christian. The same activ-
ity and firmness which were infused
into all her former acts now became
united with real desires for the vel
fare of her subjects. Idols were fer
reted out and destroyed. The people
were eXhorted to forsake their vices
and schools were encouraged by her.
Towards 1924 and 1926 the consist
ent piety of the chiefs was every
where manifest. Possibly, being re-
mote from the Mission Stations, they
remained longer under the influence
of the old priesthood and idol wor-
ship than any other part of the
islands. Sacrifices were daily offered
to Pele and occasionally her priests
wandered into the more civilized dis
tricts, denouncing awful visitations
upon those who had accepted Chris.
tianity. This act of so-called apos-
tasy was denounced by the heather
priesthood. The first blow given to
the worship of Pele was in the sum
mer of 1923, when a party of mission
aries visited the crater. Later in de-
fiance of the threats of the priests
and the fears of the people, Kahu-
manu- partook of the sacred fruit and
boldly invaded the very fires of Kill
auea. This impunity astonished the
natives and led them to attribute it
to the superiority of the God of the
missionaries to their goddess. But
early in 1925 their credulity was stag.
gered by the boldness of K~apiolani,
who determined to convince the vo-
taries of Pele of the falsity and the
absurdity of their %oracles.
She visited Kilauea, reproved the
idolatry Of its worshippers and neg
lected every observance which the
people had been taught to consider
as necessary to their welfare. In
vain the priests launched their ana
themas and denounced her prophecy
ing the wal and vengeance of the
offended deity. She replied that she
feared them as little as she feared
Pele. She told them that the fires of
the volcano were the work of the God
she worshipped and whom she served.
V%enturing to the brink of the abyss,
she descended several hundred feet
toward the liquid lava and cast sac
red berries into the flames, the most
sacreligious act according to the
early religion of Hawaii and a direct
and premeditated insult to the god
dess Pele. Kapiolani composedly
