The B->ardoftruateest!ieir have dismi?sed him and locked the d >ors to the Church. Any attempt of the North Pacific Pastoral In- j cubator to force an obnoxious preacher do»?n the throat of a free and self supporting Christian congregation should be promptly resenled and we recommend the trustees of Ihe Wainee Church now acquitedofanycharge madeag:»inst them to oromptly lake steps to have Kahauielio and Pali arrested for malieioua c»nspiracv whieh has caused the trii8tee8 both annoyance and money. Whai earthly (or heavenly) g.K>d ean c»me out oi' an attempt lite the one now raade by an in3 gnificant minority-bjcIted by a man like Emerson—to “run” a christian church agiinst the wiU of the people who f<irm that church, aud then apeak about them ub “a eoniumaeioua m«jority.” VV’hat if the whole congreg*tion whieh now worships in Wainee Church should leave and allow Mr. Paii and his five fnends full poese8sion while they either find other plaeea of worship or drop a Christinnity whioh is being illustrated to thera in such an astounding and aueh au outrageous and intolera.it manoer. Is that the war that foreigners who yet preten<f to be missionarie8 and workers for the eauae of Cbrist are fu!filling their tothe G<*d whose servaats theyduty pretend to be and mor« especially to the oeople abroad. who through devotion, put their handa in their poccets U' feed and support cburch1 «3 and in8titutions among the «1Ieged heathens who' are to be eollected into the christian faith? Fur ahame. Mr. Emerson, for sharae, Mr. Judd. andforshame Mr. Pali! By intolerance and a peity amhilion to rule, men who desire to further true christianity will nevcr g.»iu good re*ulte. By throwing men into jaiiand prosecutmg them heeauae they refuse to Iiaten to an obnoxiouB preachef, the poiol mll nol b» wou. The d'ays of the inquisitioa are over and with the blessings tbat civiliaation brought bere was the great prinelple now cl*ar to all Hawaiiana, the priociple ofseIf gorernment—be it io st*te orchurch—that is *elf-governmeut where the voice of the people is paramoont,wbere the m»jority ruies lf the friends in Hooolulu of Mr. Paii are so amioue for the peeuniary welfare of that prooiinent(!) anncxationist, let ihem send for him and give him a job—make him lbird editor of the Kookoe—bot doa*t Iet them get away with the idea that the peopieof Lahaina

will ever *gain IĪ9ten to him in their church. where he preached treas»n tc his country. treas«m to hia Queen. and where he by advo1 cating the de e truction of the Ha- ! waiian ir.dependence r»'Ceived lor | hitn3"lf with hatred and c>*ntempt I the tuen c>f Lahama.
