O kekahi keia o na oihann e pomaikai ai ka lahui, ke malama pono ia e kona ukali mai na alakai ana a kona ike, me ka noeau maoli, aole me kahi ike uuku e hiki ai ke hapai. Mai ka hookumu ana mai o ka honua nei a hiki i ka wu i hanau ai o lesu Kristo, aole i loheia a i ike ia, he mea e lawelawe ana i ba oihana lapaau iloko o ia kau, he ole loa no. Aka nae, mahope iho o ka aui ana o kekahi mau makahiki, ua loheia a ua ike ia, he mea e lawelawe ana i ka oihana lapaau, oia tio o lesu—a mailaila mai paha ka loaa Hna o ka oihana lapaaa a hiki wale mai i keia wa.

Ma na aina a pau o ka honua nei, ua kuee na ano o ka lawelawe ana o keia oihana, he maemae ke-j kahi a he pelapeh kekahi. j Ma na aina naauao, ua malamaia keia oihana ine ka mikioi nui, a me ka ike io e hi- j i ki ai ke hapai, aole hoi me kahi ike omilu* I milu. ; Iloko o keia mau makahiki, ua kaupaleia he Kanawai e hooko pololei ai i keia oihana ma Hawaii nei—ina he kane, a ina he wahine e lawelawe ana i keia oihana, e hahai aku ma na kuhikuhi a ke Kanawai, a malaila ke alakai ana i pomaikai no kou lahui, no ka mea, o kau oihana, e imi ana oe i ke ola o ka lehulehu a me kou pomaikai iho. He oihana maikai keia, ke malama ia na kuhikuhi, a he oihnna e ola ai ka lehulehu. E aui ae kakou a nana aku i ka wa o Hawaii nei mamun, he lehulehu loa ka poe e lawelawe ana i ka oihuna lapaau, he hoopono kekahi a he wahahee kekahi, a he imi loaa ma ka hoopunipuni kekahi, a pela aku.

Mahea la ko ke aupuni manao nui, ma ke ola anei o ka lehulehu, a ma ke keakea anei ika oihana lapaau ? Ua pono no paha ke keakeaia ana o kekahi poe mai keia oihana aku, ke kupono ole ka lakou hana, no kekahi mau kumu e like me keia : 1.

Ama keia ano la, oia wale no ka mea e nele ai e like me ke Knnawai. 2. No ka imi loaa ma ka hoopunipuni, a ua ike no oia aohe e ola ka mai, wahahee wale iho no me ke kaena ana, u e ola no ia'u o mea," a i ka hoao ana iho, honi ann i ka mai o Kailipehu. 3. No ka hoomanamana i na'kua unihipili, moo. pueo, mano, a pela aku ; oia wale iho la no na kumu i keakeaia ai o keia mea he oihana lapaau i kekahi poe kannka, a oia no hoi ka mea e loaa ole ai ka palapala ae Inpaau ike kanaka Hawaii. No keaha la ? No keia mau kumu wale no i hoikeia ae la maluna. A pehea la e loaa ai keia mea he oihana lapaau ike kanaka Hawaii ? Penei no: O ka ike me ka noiau oiaio loa, e lawelawe ana e like me kahi ike i loaa iaia, aole me ka hoopunipuni, he aihue ia i ka waiwni o ka mea holona. Aloha no. D. W. Kalua.
