Purely I might almost stop here and claim that the diseased of the nation almost courted death by the conditions they had at first so unwittingly accepted and subsequeiitly so unhappily carried out. THE EFFECT OF THE TRANSITION PERIOD. The next stage is the one that marks the unprece- dentedly rapid trandtion of the Hawaiian race from so- called barbaiism to Chiistianity and civilization, from the darkness of heathenism to intellectual life and pliysical death, — for the change has cost the liv...es of hundreds of thousands of souls.
