But sixty years ago they were themselves savages and idol-worshippers, who had received nothing from civilized lands but the sins of wicked sailors, whose ships touched their shores. Their idols were hideous and ridiculous, as you may see by this engraving of one of the specimens which are kept as curiosities at the Missionary House in Boston. Christian people knew little about the islanders till there landed in New York, in 1809, a Sandwich Island boy named Obookiah. This boy's parents and brother had been killed before his eyes, in one of the native wars, and he was left sad and lonely. When an American captain asked him if he would like to come to this country on board his vessel, he gladly said yes. Our young people have, perhaps, hardly heard the name of Obookiah, which was a household word to their grand-parents. They ought to know, and we will tell them, the short story of his life, for it was one of the first things in our missionary history. HAWAIIAN WAR-GOD, KAILI. Obookiah was about seventeen years old when he came here, an untaught boy, clumsy, dull, and heavy-looking. But the captain took him to his New Haven home, and soon after he was found weeping on the steps of one of the buildings of Yale College. "Why are you crying?" asked a kind gentleman. "Because there is no one to teach me," answered Obookiah. He was immediately taken into a Christian family, and eagerly began to study. After a few months Mr. Samuel J. Mills, who was then full of missionary zeal, invited him to his father's house at Torringford, 38 VOL. LXXV. |
