Hana Mana a ka Uhane Hemolele.

Ma A««erika Komohana, i ka makahiki 1858, uajho nui mai ka Uhane Hemolele ma kekahi kulanakauhale. He lehulehu ko luila poe knnaka, aka, aole he luukini malaila, kahi e halawai hoomana ai ike Akua. Nolaila, ua kukulu lakou i ka hale kula a paa, a malailu lakou i hālawni hui ai e pule ike Akua. Nui loa ka poe i launa mai, a piha loa ka hale a hu" iwnho, e ku ana ma na ipuka a puni ka hale. Ua hooiho mai ka Haku ika Uhane Hemolele maluna o lakou, a nui ka poe i mihi i ko lakou hewa, a huli nia ka pono. E noho ana maiaila kekahi haole waiwai, hookano, hoomaloka a pule ole. Aole ona hele iki ina hnlawai haipule ; ua hele nae kana wahine a me ka laua mau keiki, nolaila, nui kona huhu. Ua hoakoakoa mai i ka ohaoa a puu, a oleloaku ia lakou, penei : " Ina e hele kekahi o oukou i na halawai haipule, a huli ma ktt pono, e kipaku aku no wau iaia, e hele pela, aole ona kuleana iki iloko o ko'u waiw'ai." Aka, ua hele mau no kekahi kaikamahine i na halawai, aole i liuliu a loaa iaia he mahi a me ka manaolana iloko o lesu. A hiki mai ka wa pono, e hoike kela mea keia mea i kona aloha ia Kristo. Ku mai nae keia kaikamnhine, a hoike imua o ke anaina, i ke ano hou iloko ona, a me kona manaolana i ke ola rna o lesu la, ka mea i make ma ke kea.

Ua lohe kekahi poe e ku ana mawaho o ka ipuka i kona mau manao, a liele koke lakou a hai aku ia mea i kona makuokane. A i kona hoi ana ia po, haluwai oia me kona makuakane, e ku ana ma ka ipaka, me ka Baibala nui ma kona lima, a i uku lu oia penei: " E Maria, ua lohe au, ua hoike aku oe i keia po iloko o ka halawai, ua liuli oe ma ka pono. Pela io anei ?" I mai la ke kaikamahine, 4< E ka makuakane, ke nloha aku nei au ia oe ; a i ko'u manao, ua alohaaku au i ke Kalahala no hoi. Ua wehe oia i ka Baibala, a loaa kahi aoao keokeo, o aku oia i kona manamana lima, a ninau aku !a, »« Maria, nawai kela inoa ?" I aku la ia, "O ko'u iuoa ia e ka makua." Pane hou aku ka makuakane, " Aole anei au i olelo aku ia oe, e kipaku aku ana au ia oe, ina oe e huli i ka pono ?". "Ae, pela 110." 1 hou aku ka makuakane, » Ke hooko nei au ia olelo, nole e hiki in ne ke komo hou iloko o ko'u hale." Ulme ae la oia i kn inoa o k«na kaikamahine i kakauia ma ka Biibaln, a i aku la, "Pela, ke hoopan nei au i kou inoa, mai wuena mui o ka'u mau keiki. E hiki ia oe-ke hele aku."

Ua hele oia i ka hale o kekahi wahine kanemake, he wohine haipule oia, e noho ana ma kela kulakakauhule. Aole ona lohe hou i kona makuakane i na hebedoma ekolu. I kekahi knkahiaka, ua ike oia ia lakobo e holo mai ana i ka ipuka, ma ke kaa lio o kona makuo. Holo aku o Maria a ninau aku, (( £ lakobo, heaha la ka pilikia ?" I mai kela, he nui ka mai o kou makuakane, a ua manao oia e make ana ; a makau oia o hele nuanei i ka po no kona hewa ; a no kona hewa nui i kona kipaku ana ia oe mai kona hale aku. Ua makemake oia ia oe e komo iloko o ke kaa, a hoi koke aku i kona hale."

I kona hoi ana i ka hale, he oiaio no, ua mai kona makuakane. Aka, aole liuliu, a ua ike oia, aia kona mai ma ka naau ; o l(n hewa ke kuniu o kona mai.

Ua kamailio pu oiā me ia, a ua alakai 1 kona manao io lesu Kristo la. A hala na la ekōlu, o kona makuakane me kona makuahine, elua kaikunane a me kekahi kaikaina, ua pau lakou i ka huli ma ka pono, e hauoli aname ka manaolaua. Ua lilo lakou a pau he poe hooilina na ke Akua, a he poe hooilina pu me Kri«to, i ka waiwai i hoano e ia no lakou ma ka lani. N/mi ke aloha o ka Haku i ua kaikamahine nei, no kona kupaa ana ma ka pono, i ka wa ua kipakuia oia e kona makuakane. Ua hoolilo hoi ka Uhane Hemolele iaia, i kumu c alakai ai i kona hule a pau i ke ola.
