Greetings in the name of our Lord.
We
are happy to report, and know that
you
will rejoice with us in the blessings which God has granted in the work at Hauula.
The
members
are
evidencing spiritual growth
by
more faithful attendance and increased
e f fo r t s to r e a c h th e
l o s t
The Easter Sunrise Service was wel l a ttended, and the joyous spirit of victory
over sin
and dea th seemed to thrill us anew, as we joined in songs of praise to Him
who raised up Jesus from the grave. The house was conafortably filled for the morn
ing worship hour. There was a larger proportion
of
adults than
we
have ever had.
Though there were
no
additions,
many
were deeply stirred. Although
we
felt it
the most satisfactory Resurrection Day observance since our coming to Hauula, I
believe that evidence of this shows
in fact
that our attendance dropped only two,
from
40 on
Eas ter to 38
on the
Sunday following.
Our Revival meeting was held the week of April 30 to May 4, with Brother Harold
Burnside
of
Maile
preaching.
Brother Burnside s
sound
teaching
on
The Revelation
and his
stirring
gospel sermons were
greatly
appreciated by our people. Special
music was brought by talent from the various churches including Hauula, On Tuesday
evening, Joseph Lucky Keliiholokai, accompanying himself on the guitar, sang
The Haven of Rest in a way which deeply
moved
all who
heard.
On Thursday even
ing
at
the invitation, Lucky stepped forward and gave his
heart
to the Lord. He
was
bur ied withHis Lord on
the
following Lord s Day in our ocean-side
pool,
border
ing the blue Pacific. It thr il ls us all to think of the wonderful potentialities for good
which one like Lucky
has
when
these talents
of
his
are fully dedicated to
the Lord s
servi e
We continue with
our
week day
meeting
with
the children
on Thursday
afternoon.
As
has
often been noted, children are more receptive to
the
Gospel, more
responsive
to
the
love
of
Jesus,
than
are
the
older
folk.
There
are
three
brothers,
nine to
twelve,
who have been
attending
these afternoon
classes.
Their
parents,
who are
Mormans,
will not
allow them to
attend
the Sunday services. Yet these boys
were
among the most faithful in attendance at our Revival.
Who
can say how and when the
seed sown may
bear fruit.
We hold
three classes,
and Miss
Hart
and Miss Miller
come
from
Sunset Beach to help in
th e
teaching. Mr, Nichols
supervises
the
play
time
wh i c h f o l l ow s
The monthly meeting of the women continues to have an important place in our
program. Several of the women now attending the Lord s Day services started by
coming to the women s meeting. Miss Floyd comes from Sunset Beach to lead the
women in the Bible study. Light
refreshments are
served, and the
ladies really
appreciate this opportunity of becoming better acquainted as they fellowship together.
Mr. Nichols teaches
a
class in Princ ip les
of
Christian Education at Kalihi
Church of
Christ
on Thursday evenings. Six
Bible
School teachers are enrolled in
the
class.
Though it entails a long drive, there is ample compensation in knowing
that
these
earnest young people are being trained to become better teachers.
This may very well be the last Newsletter that we mai l from this address,
-A-bout-Ju;y 1we will be moving to Makaha to be associated with Brother Burnside in
work
of
Maile Church
of Christ, and the East-West Bible
College. It is
with
some reluctance, and a
great
deal of
sorrow
that we will be leaving Hauula. However,
we believe that greater opportunities for service await us in the field to which we go.
The Maile Church is a growing Church in the center of a rapidly developing community
V/e
cannot be
accused
of seeking
greener pastures,
for

are

1959.
EARLY HISTORY
The original inhabitants
of
HAWAII were a
t r i hybrid
people known as
Polynesians. I t is believed that they
orig inated in
Southeast Asia or
in
Indonesia and
migrated
to
the
present
area approximately
1 500 years
ago.
Indications
are
that
the original immigrants f i r s t
arrived
in the
Society
Islands
and spread from there in
a
vast
t r iangle whose apex was
the
Hawaiian
Island s; th e
southernmost
group were the Maoris in
New Zealand
and extending east as fa r as
Easter
Is land.
The
Polynesians
arrived
in
the
Hawaiian
Islands
around
7
to
^5
A DAt the time Captain
Cook discovered
the Islands
in
177^
there
were be
tween 300 000 and 400 000 people living in
present day
Hawaii. Shortly
af ter the advent of Europeans
and Americans
the native population started
to decline
so
that
by 1920 the Hawaiians including
part Hawaiian to
taled approximately 35 000.
After
that
date the
part Hawaiians started
to increase and they now number
about
^0 000 out
of
a total population of
5^5 000.
I t is
indeed a sad commentary that
civilizat ion practically
destroyed
and without wars the
aborigine
population of the
Islands.
RACIAL
ORIGINS
Very early in the post discovery period some Chinese
came
in as traders
house
servants
and
artisans.
However most
of
the
early
immigrants
were
from Europe and America. With the development of the plantation system
during
the
middle of the nineteenth
century
i t soon became
evident
that
the
rapidly declining Hawaiian
race
could not supply the necessary labor.
This led to the importa tion under labor
contracts
of
large
numbers of
aliens.
The f i r s t to be brought
in
were the Chinese then in turn the
Portuguese the Japanese the Koreans the Puerto Ricans and the Fili
pinos.
There were some contract labor immigrants from other European
groups
but
they were of small consequence. The people
in
managerial
positions and
the
operators and
proprietors of larger
types
of
mercan
t i l e establishments were largely from Great Brit ian the United States
and F r a n c e
The present population
is
made up of the descendants of these immigrants
and
the descendants of
the original
Polynesian inhabitants.
At
the
time
the 1950 census was
taken
the
people of
Japanese ancestry totaling
approximately 35
percent
comprised
the
largest
single
ethnic group;
the
Caucasians were
the
second la rges t
group
and comprised about 25 percent;
the
Hawaiians
including part Hawaiians represented
around 18
percent;
the
Filipinos 12 percent; the Chinese
six percent;
and
the balance
in
cluding Negroes Puerto Ricans and Koreans totaled four
percent.
While
there
may be some variation in the percentage of the different ethnic
groups today this i l lustrates the consti tuent elements of the
present
population. The Island of Oahu has the major portion of
the
population
and is rapidly growing This is due to the location of the city of ^

t h i s I s land and
th e
presence
o f
a l a r ge number
o f
mi l i t a ry
personnel
and
the i r dependents. The other Is lands are losing populat ion;
NATIVE
RELIGION
At
the time Cap ta in
Cook
discovered
the
Is lands
the people were poly
t h e i s t i c . They had a number o f gods represented by va r ious grotesque
ido l s
and human
sac r i f i ce s
were a regu la r
par t
o f the r e l i g ious se rv ice .
The human s a c r i f i c e s were obta ined from cap t i ves t aken in war
persons
who
had
broken
the
taboo
system
and
s laves
kept
to
meet
the
needs
when
t h e re were
no
othe r humans ava i l ab l e fo r s ac r i f i c e . The p r i e s t s
had
a
very prominent part
in the l i fe
of
the
Islands.
They
were
among the
c ounc il lo rs o f the chiefs ; they formed
the
medical prac t i t ioner group
many were among
those
learned in arts and sciences;
and
many were serving
in the
temples»
They were the
ones
who enforced the very complicated
taboo system on which both the
government and
society rested.
EARLY MISSIONARY
EFFORTS
Taboos were abolished about one year af te r
the
death of Kamehameha. After
a
short
civi l
war
both the taboo system and
the
domination of the priests
were ended by
the jo in t ru le rs .
This was indeed a fortunate circum
stance
so
fa r
as the
work
of
the
f i r s t
missionaries
was
concerned
fo r
they found, upon
their arrival in
1^20, a country in which
there
was a
r e l i g i ou s
vacuum.
The
missionaries
were not the f i r s t white people
to
make the i r homes in
Hawaii.
Many
white persons had lived in the Islands since shortly after
Captain Gook^s discovery. They
were
included among the advisors of
King
Kamehameha
and some held
high positions including that of governor of
one
or
more
of
the Islands.
The
missionaries wives were the f i r s t white
women
to
arrive within historical times and they
excited
a great deal of
curiosity by their
dress
and manners. They played a
considerable
part in
th e succe s s o f
th e
mi s s i on s .
The f i rs t missionaries were from the American Board
of Chri sti an Missions
Congregational and were largely from
w
England, with a few
from w
York State and elsewhere. They
brought
with them the New England ideal
of an educated, thrifty God-fearing people. This they zealously sought
to impart to the Polynesians,
who
even at
that
time, were
suffering
acutely from
economic
and social maladjustment, the diseases
and
vices of
civilization
and a rapidly
declining
population. They sought by every
means at their disposal
to
alleviate the bad
conditions
they found, but
they could not stay progress, which in the end
practically
annihilated
the Polynesian inhabitants
of
the Islands. They did however, convert
th e
mass
o f the Hawaiians to C h ris tia ni ty .
EDUCATION
mong
the
first things accomplished by the early missionaries was the
establishment of an educational system which s tar ted a t the
very
top
level of government and society. Universal education has been a well-
established
t radit ion
in the
Hawaiian
Islands for well over ICQ years.
Hawaii
has many
secondary
schools
and a
State
University.
ROMN
CATHOLICISM
The
Roman Catholics
came
to Hawaii in 1^27 but were not
permitted
to
stay.
However
in 1^39, the Hawaiian government, under the combined

pressure
oi
the French and Bri t i sh governments permitted
the establ ish
ment of
a
church and school .
Many
Hawaiians espoused Cathol icism. .The
ear ly a r r iva l
o f s ub sta ntia l
numbers o f Portuguese
and the
a r r iva l
of
othe r European and
American
Cathol ics
a t
a r e l a t i ve ly ear ly date gave
them a
subs t an t i a l number within
a
few yea rs .
The
a r r i v a l o f Puer to Ri-
cans short ly
a f te r
the turn of the century and a large number of Fi l ip inos
within the past 40
years
has
i nc re as ed th e
number
of
adherents of th i s
re l ig ious group unt i l t
has
become
the
l a rges t in
the Is lands
They
have
many churches
including
a
cathedral
and a number of
parochial
and se
condary
schoo l s .
MOR] iONS -
The ormons
came in
1^50, and have many followers
among
the Hawaiians,
as
well as among
the whites .
They have a
beaut i ful temple and grounds
a t Laie v/ith
a
col lege and severa l thousand acres of farm land as
a
par t
of
the
setup. This
group
-never
los t
i t s original missionary
zeal and
today i t s young men can
be
seen going two
by
two on foot in the various
communities of Hawaii. They have severa l
f ine edi f i ces
as well as
a
number of
substantial
buildings used for religious worship.^ They
are
put t ing a large amount
of
both money and manpower into Hawaii.
OTHERS
Other Christian groups
came
to th e Isla nd s from time to t ime beginning
with
the Anglicans
now Episcopalians
in 1^62
and down to the Presby
terian group which established i t s f i rs t church
in
1959, Even though
ra ther la te in star t ing work here the
Bapt is ts have grown
unt i l
they
are a
sizeable group.
The
Southern
Baptists
are
part icularly strong a
well-f inanced and missionary-minded
group. The
Pentecostal churches also
const i tute a
sizeable group. In fac t
a l l of
the major denominations
found on
th e Mainland a re
to be found
he re .
NEW TESTAMENT
CHURCHES
-
The
churches stemming
from
the Restoration
Movement came
la te in the
religious history
of Hawaii.
The
First
Christian hurch
Disciples
was
establ i shed in Honolulu in 1^94. The Kaimuki Chr i s t i an Church
was
e st ab li sh ed in
the
same ci ty
about
35 years ago and
has been se l f -
supporting for several years.
The
ahiawa
Christian hurch
Disciples
i s a small
Filipino congregation established within
the la s t
five years.
These
services
are
in I locano
and
English. The non-instrument
bre thren
of the
Church
of Chris t have
a number
of churches in Hawaii. The Church
of
Christ-Christian
group
started
work in the Islan ds immediately af ter
Morld a r I I and t he re a re now seven mission
churches
and
two
mission
points. The combined membership
of a ll
churches stemming from
the
Restoration
Movement
is
a
very
very small
proportion
of
the
population
o Haw a i i .
NON-CHRISTIAN
RELIGIONS -
The non-Christian
rel igions
came
to the
Islands with
the
arr iva l
of the
f i r s t immigrants from the Orient. In 1^52 Chinese
laborers
brought
Confucianist
Taoist
and
Chinese
Buddhist
teachings
but
the
greatest
upswing
came
with the
arrival of
the Japanese in 15^5, and the
following
35 years. They brought with them both Buddhism and Shintoism
the
former
in an aggressive and missionary form. They
have
maintained
language schools
as an adjunct to
Buddhist places of
worship have
modernized
th e se rv ic es and t h e i r p laces of worship to conform in some

degree
to
western customs. They have gone a l l out to reclaim those tha t
have been l o s t to
them
and to hold t ho se

Through
the
t rad i t iona l
f i l i a l pie ty ,
the strong family t i e s , and the
na tu ra l g regar iou s t endenc ie s
of
mankind, it has been
hard
to break
through
th i s
wall ,
par t icular ly among those of Japanese ancest ry . Shin-
toism, being primarily nat ional is t ic in i t s concept,
has
tended to go out
of the
picture with
the passing of those born in Japan. The
Buddhists
are apparently
well s up plie d
v/ith
funds.
They
have
many f ine bui ld ings
used fo r
re l ig ious
and educat ional purposes and an
extensive
priesthood,
some
of whom v/ere
born in Hawaii or
on the Mainland. They
also
have a

The Camp program in
Hav;aii
inc ludes
no t
only a summer camp
but also a camp during
th e Christmas Holidays.
The summer camp has a
Sen i o r week
and a J u n i o r

seen
t h a t
one

needs i s
for

adequate

There

concentrate
so many
missionaries
on this one l i t t l e spot in the
Pacific? How
can you
expect
the
churches
to
support
you when you_can
show such meagre
results
in numbers of
converts ?
V/hen
the
mission
ar ies
hear
comments
l ike these
they rea l ize
hov;
s ignal ly they
have
failed in getting across the full picture
of
Hawaiian missions. But who
would be
crude
enough
to
put a
dollar sign
on the human soul?
yet
in
fact is that not what is being done?
Who
then will evaluate the
trans
formation which took place
in
the l i fe of a young Doctor and his
family?
A churchman, he found here a church
that
was more
than
a social
organi
zation and,
his own
spiritual life revived, he returned to the Mainland
to be a glowing witness
for
His Lord. Or the young
couples
who
while
serving
in the Armed Forces
here
were
influenced
to
dedicate
tneir lives
to
full-time
seryice
and are now preparing inMainland
colleges._
Or
the
young recruits from Island churches
who likewise
are attending
Bible
Colleges, and
who
vjill
soon be
returning to
work
among
their
own
people.
Souls have been saved l ives have been transformed families have been
saved
from dissolution.
Some of
His l i t t le ones coming from un-^
fortunate
homes .amid
very
poor
surroundings
have
been brought
up
in the
nurture
and
admonition
of
the Lord
through
the Christian Day School.
There i s not
a
mission which could not
do a
be t te r job with more funds
at i t s disposal.
Yet
the missionaries feel that this is not the greatest
need, but that the greatest need
is
an
understanding
on the part of the
churches of
the
unique problems
and
unparalled opportunities presented
by
Hawaiian missions.
Such
an
understanding would resu l t in
more
workers
for the untouched areas
adequate
funds for the works already established
and an informed and fervent backing
with prayer.
A great deal has been
accomplished and
the missionaries
are
optimistic
about
the
future
of
New Testament Christ iani ty
in the
50th
State. They
