STOP FOSTER THE OLD WAYS AND THE KAHUNA RITES

This is a voice of instruction before true Hawaiian pertaining to the fostering of the old ways of the kūpuna who passed on, as well as the rites of the kahuna of those old days, and teaches Hawaiians of this progressive era as well to put an end to their activities of the kahuna of the old days, and teaches also that the fostering of those things are not according to what God wants.

Every true Hawaiian family of this progressive era should thank the Almighty God, from whom comes life and the strength of us all as well as all things of this worldly life.

There are many Hawaiians who live in the darkness, carrying out activities of the old times into this progressive era. Stop in earnest those kinds of things, for the body will be the victim, for the Holy Book says, “I am JEHOVAH your God,” and “keep My commandments.”

Stop! Stop in earnest the superstitions of the ignorant age, and turn to the truth of the Holy book; within there is life and keeper of life of body and soul.
