To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
What is the result of thirty years of missionary labor ? Diseased, powerless, degraded, the people have sunk into the position of slaves, nor dare they raise a hand in opposition, so complete is the bondage in which they are held. Fined, imprisoned, whipped for disobedience, they see themselves stripped of everything, by people who made laws to rob UTiderj and therefore there is no redress. But they writhe under this oppression, and, cowed and miserable though they are, they only submit from th...e fear that the missionaries will pray them to death ! They are firmly persuaded that this can be done, and if one is told that he will be " prayed to death, " all the terrors of imagination are roused ; he retires to his hut chilled with a supernatural fear, lays himself down in resigna tion to his fate, and in the course of a few weeks, actually sinks into the grave. 0, Superstition ! Thou friend of missionaries, and terror of barbarians !
There are many, especially in Honolulu, in whom a sense of the mon strous injustice they suffer rankles like a poisonous sting, and the chief sufferer, in pain as in rank, is the royal Kamehameha 3d, who fully feels the mockery of his position.
