“ The Transformation of Hawaii .” 
How Fifty Years of Mission Work gave a Christian 
Nation to the World. Told for Young People. 
By BELLE M. BRAIN. 
“Much is said against missions, sometimes in ignorance, sometimes 
from mistaken conviction, and not seldom, it is to be feared, from dis¬ 
like of Christian morality ; but the contrast between the Hawaii which Cook 
discovered, and still more the Hawaii of forty odd years of relations with white 
visitors, before the missionaries came, and the Hawaii of 1870, is not lightly to 
be put aside.”— Spectator. 
“ Interesting and instructive.”— Christian Age. 
“ She has written the story of the mission in a simple and interesting way, 
and has brought it down to the recent annexation of the islands by the United 
States.”— Glasgow Herald. 
“An exceedingly interesting account of the progress in civilisation in ‘The 
Paradise of the Pacific ’ during the past ninety years.”— Dundee Advertiser. 
“The story of their labours reads like a chapter from the Acts of the 
Apostles, with its sudden and wonderful conversions and pentecostal ingather¬ 
ings of disciples. Interesting descriptions are given of the wonderful natural 
features of the islands, and the general history is brought down to July 1898, 
when they became part of the United States. The book deserves to be read 
by all interested in missions.”— Daily Free Press. 
“ A marvellous story, told in a style well fitted to instruct the mind and fire 
the imagination.— British Weekly. 
“A beautiful book in every respect,—its get-up, illustrations, and contents. 
The description of the triumphs of the gospel over superstition and heathenism 
is well told, and will profit and stimulate all who are in true heart with 
missionary work.”— British Messenger. 
“The book is very readable, the story being told with ease and grace of 
style, and in very orderly fashion.”— Methodist Times. 
“This is a charming book. Written and published in America, we are glad 
to see it placed in the market on this side of the Atlantic. It tells in a 
very clear and attractive manner how a race of degraded savages became an 
intelligent, God-fearing, Christian nation. The book should be in every 
Sabbath school and Guild library.”— U. P. Missionary Record.
