1:20:02
- Yes, I've heard reports of it.
- Their lust for land grows every day.
1:20:07
I finished helping my Hawaiians
draft a petition to the king
1:20:10
that no more land be sold
to the planters or any other foreigner.
1:20:13
- Indeed?
- Yes.
1:20:15
And also we are assembling regularly
in meetings of public protest.
1:20:19
- In your church?
- Yes, of course!
1:20:21
What purer purpose
can our churches be put to
1:20:24
than to protect the Hawaiians' land?
1:20:27
Their land is their life,
Brother Quigley.
1:20:30
Malama understood that.
1:20:32
Every church in the kingdom
must stand forth as a bastion
1:20:35
against those who would rob
these people of their birthright.
1:20:39
And the walls are two feet thick.
1:20:42
As you see, of course.
1:20:46
I left the windows uncovered, though.
It's cooler that way.
1:20:49
And the wind...
1:20:52
can blow through.
1:20:56
Of course, there is no Alii Nui...
left to die.
1:21:05
They develop
shocking temperatures.
1:21:08
That's why it's unhealthy for them
to work in the cane fields.
1:21:11
I've seen as many as 40 Hawaiians
hitched to ploughs.
1:21:15
Sugar is a curse on these people.
1:21:18
We reviewed the whole problem
of sugar at the Annual Meeting.
1:21:22
Came to some conclusions
about it.
1:21:23
Very good, excellent!
Tell me.
1:21:25
It is felt the time has come for
our missions to become self-supporting.
1:21:31
To that end, we voted
to authorize members of our ministry
1:21:34
to invest in plantation lands
and sugar mills
1:21:37
and to operate them also,
if they have the skill.
1:21:43
But we are a family...
1:21:46
in Christ.
1:21:48
Dedicated to poverty.
1:21:50
It has cost us 20 years
of poverty and sickness
1:21:55
and sometimes death, to win these people
to Christianity and make them literate.
1:21:59
If we now desire
a competence for our old age,
