Hawaiian Islands

By J. H. Behrens

HONOLULU.—I have at present a class of ten young men who are studying the Bible in order to obtain a better knowledge of it that they may help the Chinese people. Seven of these came of their own accord and asked for this help, and of these one has already requested baptism, and desires to unite with the church. Two, who have come from another school, wish to continue their studies in our schools on the mainland, if only they can find work to pay their way. Coming, as they do, from other schools, and asking to study the Bible with us, in order to help their own people, we feel sure that God's hand has led them to seek his truth; for, when asked why they did not study the Bible with their regular instructors in their schools, they replied, “We do not care to study theology; we wish to know the truth, and which of the many churches is the right one.”
