Scope and Contents

Quotation from the New York Sun: In the eulogies of Father Joseph Damien De Veuster but passing reference is made to Protestant clergy. Robert Louis Stevenson has made more than slightest possible reference to the Protestant clergy in Hawaii. When Damien arrived on March 19th, 1864; the leper settlement was started January 6, 1866, but it is stated that the Protestant clergy were in leper settlement before Damien. Reverend W. C. Merrit of Honolulu, addressing a Congregational Club in San Francisco, stated that the Protestants having a native ministry, do not need to send a white missionary to Molokai. The New York Herald says the first missionary to make his home among the Sandwich Island lepers was the Reverend T. Hanaloa, whose wife was afflicted with leprosy. Wendelin quotes the Hawaiian Evangelical Association to the effect that Hawaiians refuse to separate their lepers from them. Dates on the birth and death of Hanaloa and his wife are given. :: X-3-l A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
