he took a stand on the side of right
cousnoss, which he never abandoned
The divarded laws were re-established,
and the stniiflde of opposing influent ci
was over. Hxlcrnal order and moral
ity, at least, have been upheld ever
incc.
The manliness, dignity, and uiuloni
that characterized the Hawaiian rulers
in all their dealings with the represent
atives of foreign power inthccarlydays,
before recognition, were worthy of the
Romans, While attempting no una
vailing resistance to the war-ships,
which they knew could nnnihilnte
them, they did not for a moincntcower
or fear to speak their convictions ;
they were like the Indians, who have
been conquered but never subdued.
In the year 18,13 he voluntarily sur
rendered his absolute power, and
granted written laws and constitution
al freedom to his people, who had
never dreamed of such thing. What
other races have had to struggle for,
11113 rnonarcu gave ociore 11 was no
manded. I'owcrwasasswccltohimas to
other men, but he had a clear head and
a kind heart. Judges were appointed,
a popular vote was cast, and a legisla
turc was organized; life and propcrt)
were as secure, and justice as sound as
in Massachusetts : and it is only fair
to call this the fruition of the seed sown
by American missionaries. In the
same year France and Kngland recog
nized and mutually (uaranteed the in
dependence of the islands, a pledge
still binding and perhaps worth remem
bering. In the following year the United
States took similar action, and from
that time till now American sentiment
has been expressed in the words of
Daniel Webster to a Hawaiian diplo
mat, "If Kngland takes those islands,
we'll make a fuss about it."
The result of the king's noble action
was, in 18.17, the grand "malifle" or di
vision, which broadly stated was this:
''The king reserved his private lands as
his individual property : one-third of
the remaining lands was set aside as the
property of the I lawaiian Government,
onc-thitd to the chiefs in proportion to
their possessions, to have and to hold
forever ; and the remaining one-third
to the tenants, the actual cultivators
of the soil, to have and to hold forever."
In addition to this Kamchameha, re
alizing how necessary it was that there
should be a public domain, the pro
cecds of which should go to the na
tional treasury, from which his subjects
could purchase the lands they needed
"proceeded to set apart for the use of
government the larger part of his own
royal domain, reserving to himself what
he deemed a reasonable amount 01 land
for his own estate, lly this great act, Ka
mchamcha III. showed his sympathy
with his people, and set an illustrious
example of liberality and public spirit.
The whole transaction was a severe test
of patriotism, reflecting great cre
dit nlso on the Hawaiian aristocracy,
which thus peacefully gave up a por
tion of its hereditary rights and privil
eges for the good of the nation," a di
rect result of Christian teaching.
Desiring additional know lege as to
their 'duties under the new form of
government, the chiefs, in 1835, sent
to the United States for n tencher of
" political economy. Failing in this they
employed the Rev. William Richards,
who gave up his strictly mission
ary work in order to lecture before the
aristocracy on the science of govern
ment and the duties of public officers ;
he also officiated as royal chaplain.
The result of the combined influence
was an excellent constitution and code
of laws. Education in the mechanical
arts and agriculture were encouraged by
special legislation ; but in 1845 a com
bined application of the government
and missionaries to the American Hoard
of Commissioners for Foreign Missions
for a carpenter, mason, tailor, and shoe
maker, was refused as beyond their
means, and not of vital importance.
This action was fatally unwise. A re
verse policy could hardly have averted
their final extinction, but would have,
as I believe, created a needed physical,
and moral strength, together with the
conditions of better living, and none
the less of religious life. From iSzo to
185. there were sent tothe the Hawaiian
field forty clerical missionaries, six liliy
sicians, twenty lay teachers, four of
whom were printers, and eighty-three
women, most of them wives of the
members of the mission. The people
lenneu wunr. mcy were i.iugm, viz.,
Christian doctrine and duty, and inci
dentally, of course, much about
practical life, Hut while in
dustry and thrift generally were en
couraged, the practical object-lessons
which arc as important as preaching
were lurmslieu in a meagre way. What
was done in this direction was chiefly
the work ot the women, who by visit
ing the natives in their thatched huts
and gathering them together in sewing
classes, taught them the use of the
needle and other civilized arts. A re
inforcement of mechanics to train and
harden the soft Hawaiian hand, to
establish industrious habits, and thus
to supply a stamina which the native
character lacked, would have been
wise missionary work even bad it
neccssitcd decreasing the number of
clerical teachers. It was a matter of
critical importance. The redeeming
effort at the Islands was in the manual
labor schools for boys at Lahaina, Wai
mca, and Hilo. The former, howeer,
was partially abandoned on its practical
side when it became a government
school and took up advanced studies,
educating some of the worst and best
men in tlV kingdom. The school at
Lahaina has been a warning against a
too exclusively mental culture of a
soft and pliant race, the one at Hilo an
illustration of an equilibrium of mental,
moral and industrial force.
These schools, over which my father
as minister of education had for fifteen
years a general oversight, suggested the
plan of the Hampton School. The
neprg and the Polynesian have many
striking similiarities. Of both it is
true that not mere ignorance, but defi
ciency of character is the chief diffi
culty, and that to build up character is
the true objective point in education.
It is also true that in all men education
is conditioned not alone on an enlight
ened head and a changed htfart, out
very largely on a routine of industrious
habit, which is to' character what the
foundation is to the pyramid. The
summit should clow with a Divine Haht.
interfusing ami' qualifying the whole
in:m , but ll .liould never be forgoltcn
that tt h onh upon a fomulntion of
regular daily ac tivitics that there can
be any fine and permanent up-building.
Morality and Industry generally go
togcth' r. Especially in the weak trop
ical races, idleness, like ignorance,
breeds vice. The best of sermons and
schools amount to little when hearers
and pupils arc thriftless, live from
hand to mouth, and arc packed at
night either in savage huts or in dirty
tenement houses. Morality, though
founded in spiritual life, depends very
much upon outward and social condi
tions; and, if man is to work out his
own salvation, he must learn how to
work, firanted that character in its
highest sense is the objective point
then mission work evidently
should be organized with reference to
supplying the conditions under which
morality and the creation of cbarac tor
arc feasible. Practical men, if possi
ble, should go with preachers to study,
and in some measure to develop, local
tesourccs of labor, of land, or of pro
duction, thus creating industries, occu
pation, and the conditions of Christian
living. The right men can do much
in this way with little capital other than
their own brains. The man is half the
battle. " Progress through self-help,"
is the motto of our best missionaries
to-day ; but ability to carry out the
prim iple is rare. What is impossible
with one is possible to another. Seldom
will a man of mere theoretical educa
tion appreciate the power of seemingly
destitute savage people to help them
selves. They can do more than he
thinks. The reaction of self-help upon
character is the best result of it. The
Fnglish missionaries in Madagascar
seem to have worked on the right prin
ciple, leading those people primarily in
their industrial life. Labor as a moral
force, is not yet fully recognized in the
missionary field.
Where the work is parental, as
among the childish Polynesians, Afri
cans, and Indians, as distinct from
anlrortrtiul among Mohammedans and
Chinese, the people accept mission
aries as superior beings and become
even more religious than those who
inherit Christian ideas, in so far as reli
gion consists in the outward expression
of rites and ceremonies. Their lan
guage is ricn in words ol reverence
and adoration ; it makes prayer easy ;
and, on the spiritual side, their lives
flower out without effort and with a
grace and beauty wholly their own.
Mentally, too, they arc far from .stag
nant, llut of true morality they have
little or none, because they do not
possess its conditions, which renuuc
self-control rather than pure devotional
ife. In our own highest civilization
morality is common, but spiritually is
rare.
llut the Hawaiian missionary was
sent to proclaim the gospel, to convert
the heathen. Conversion is, indeed,
the starting-point of a better life ; it is
to character what the seed is to the
ripe Iruit. 1 he choice ot uod s
service is the initial step : the coal
is the rounded, perfect,' Christian
life. To take the step requires
the decision, possibly, of a moment :
to reach the goal is the struggle of a
lifetime. Viewed thus, one under
stands that it is not the planting of the
seed that costs, but the wise and vigi
lant care of the growing crop. Much
of the missionary work of the world
has been a patient, unselfish sowing of
seed, which, taking root at first, has in
its early frail growth been choked by
the vicious weeds about it.
Ihc Ilawaiians, who stand as a type,
soon learned to read the Ilililc and to
pray to Cod j yet in two entire genera
tions they have not escaped from the
surroundings and the habits that make
virtue impossible. That, in the second
stage of work on the islands, certain
mistakes were made, seems evident.
For example, until the year 1855 the
native girls were comparatively neg
lected. The few boarding-schools es
tablished for them amounted to little.
The sexes were not educated together,
on moral grounds.
On this point the testimony from
Northern teachers of the negro race
has a direct bearing. Contrary to the
strongest convictions in the South,
Northern teachers have been able, in
the leading institutions for those who
lately were slaves (whose weakness is
on the moral side), to bring the sexes
together most successfully during the
past fifteen years. The plan is equally
good with Indians, and I believe for
all people in the early, il not in every
stage, of progress. The way to
strengthen the weak is constantly to
test them under favorable conditions
To change low ideas of their mutual re
lations into higher ones they must be
trained, not in the abstract, but in the
concrete. Separation will not teach
practical wisdom in future intercourse,
any more than by being kept out of the
water can a boy be taught to swim. If
it be granted that the sexes of a race
cannot on moral grounds, with good
management, be educated together,
then that race had better be given up:
it is doomed to immorality. When I
was in the Hawaiian Islands, in 1880. I
found no one who believed in such
co-education, though the other plan was
a failure on the side of mortality. To-
pay there is hardly a ray of hope for
the Hawaiian women. In spite of
African degradation and the loose
morals of slave life, many of the
colored girls of the Southern States,
trained by the side of their black
brothers, have in and after school made
a record of noble steadfastness. Scn.v
rate schooling would I believe have
lelt them far weaker, aim less able to
protect themselves. Stronger teachers
and more expensive buildmcs arc re
quired for mixed schools ; but if a race
is to be saved it is by creating the unit
or Christian civilization, the family,
and that is only possible when equal
chances are given to both sexes, and
they find each other out in the contact
of school life.
Our experience at Hampton forces
us to consider carctuiiy the luture re
lations of the young men and women
whom we are training, and we are
more and more convinced of the power
of virtuous family life. It prornises, in
the future, to be the cornerstoneof our

I would draw attention to the now
almost universal experien a of the dis
appointing results of attempting the
higher education of uncivilized races as
a part of mission work. The reasons
for this seem evident enough. The
sharp brain of the savage easily outstrips
his sluggish moral nature. With him
mental attainment is merely a matter
of ready memory and of usually con
genial effort. Moral strength is the re
sult of long and patient struggle. The
mental food which is given him creates
a sense of power, ocr which his blunt
sense of obligation has little control.
" Knowledge comes, but wisdom ling
ers," and especially is this true of the
races which lie directly in the path of
progress, and are the prey of the id-vante-guard
of traders and adventurers,
livery power but that of sclf.control is
stimulated. In some quiet eddies of
the great world current, as in Hritish
America and parts of Occ.inica, where
only good influences have entered,
there arc undisturbed fields for simp'c
Christian teaching, where Cod's
word entering the heart works
out into well ordcicd righteous living;
but liquor and licentiousness have
spared a very small part of humanity.
Education of the heathen, and of all
backward races, must bc-of the head, the
hands, and the heart; a judicious propor
tion beingnlwaysmaintaincd. This hour
relation to the negro, though we bid
him God-speed in every endeavor for
the hmhest culture. The majority of
thinking people will admit that we of
me civuueci races uu nui nccu so
much what we are getting as this train
ing of the whole life, for lack of which
our average types of manhood and
womanhood are weakened and point
to no very hopeful future. One can
well believe the truth of what it is said
of some sections of Europe, viz., that
in their thrift and prosperity they still
show the influence of their early mon
astic teachers, who were laborers and
leaders among them in all practical
arts.
In making a tesumc of Hawaiian
history, I find that it divides itself into
three periods of thirty years each, as
follows :
1. From 1790 to 1820, the genera
tion preceding the mission, a time of
mental activity and material progress,
and the beginning of the nation's phy
sical decay, all due to the presence of
foreign discoverers and traders.
2. From 1820 to 1850, in which the
people embraced the Christian faith,
and civilized institutions were estab
lished through the efforts of American
missionaries, working against tremen
dous obstacles. During this period,
and even before, the harbors of Hawaii
were the annual rendezvous of from
fifty to three hundred and fifty whale
ships, the crews of which, during weeks
of refitting between voyages, were paid
olT, and while indulging themselves
almost without restraint, made the
fortunes of the merchants and ruined
the natives.
3. From 1850 to the present time.
These years, all of which come within
my own personal knowledge, present a
curious record. The line of ancient
chiefs has become extinct, the people
have become indifferent to religious
duties, bci.ptr anxious to assert their
political power, and the influence of
the missionaries has greatly decreased,
especially since 1875. Great commer
cial prosperity exists, clue to the treaty
with the United States, and to the
increase of the sugar crop from 10,000
to 00,000 tons a year. I he five thou
sand male Chinese adults of 1870 have
increased to twenty thousand in t883,
creating a serious disproportion of
sexes, resulting in polyandry and in
rapid demoralization. Another cle
ment has been added jn the presence
of some thousands of Portuguese and
other Europeans, besides many Malays.
The decrease of morality has kept
pace with the increase of wealth.
Leprosy has made terrible progress,
affecting at least ten per cent, of the
native population, whose death-rate
has gained alarmingly on the birth
rate. A strong race feeling has sprung
up ; and to day the Ilawaiians as a
people arc antt-haolc (opposed to for
eigners) especially to Americans, not
because Americans, but because Amer
icans arc the strongest. There are but
few natives of any strength left. This
last period is pre-eminently one of
decay, offering much food for thought,
especially to those who are interested
in mission work for like races in other
patts of the world.
