xJubilee Celebration of the Arrival of the Missionary Reinforcement of 1837
By Hawaiian Mission Children Society Excerpt At the Board meeting of the Society held at the residence of PC Jones, Esq., Oct. 9, 1886, the President called attention to the fact that April 10, 1887 was the fiftieth anniversary of the landing at these Islands of the reinforcement of 1837, consisting of thirty-two missionaries, the largest company ever sent out by the ABCFM to any of its missions, and suggested that it would be a fitting thing for the Cousins' Society to celebrate this event. The proposition was cordially endorsed by all, and recommendations to that effect were submitted to the Society, which as heartily adopted them, appointing the Board of Managers a committee to carry out the same. As it was ascertained that the regular meeting of the Society would come upon Saturday evening, April 9th, the following plan for the Jubilee celebration was adopted. This meeting constituted the first session of the jubilee, wand was held in the large dining-room at Kawaiahao Seminary which had been beautifully decorated and adorned for the occasion. In lovely evergreen upon the wall facing the audience was the motto: "1837--Mary Frazier--1887." And most happy was the date for the "Mary Frazier" had really made harbor that day, 1837, and anchored outside for the night. On Sabbath evening, April 10th, a union service of the Bethel Union and Fort-St. Churches was held, conducted by Rev. CM Hyde, DD, assisted by Rev. JW Smith of Koloa, and Mr. Edward Bailey of Wailuku, at which time Rev. WB Oleson preached the sermon. On Monday, April 11th, two sessions were held on the grounds of Oahu College at Punahou. The first at two PM, in a large lanai erected on the lawn for the purpose; the second in the parlors of the College at seven PM. At these meetings were read papers especially prepared for the occasion by the survivors of the Mission of the ABCFM to these Islands. These papers are printed in full. Between these sessions the ladies served a substantial lunch, and the time was spent in social intercourse. The attendance at all these meetings was large and the deep interest manifested showed how firm a hold these themes have upon our Society and the public also.

This book has been carefully crafted to utilize the original images of antique books rather than error-prone OCR text. This also preserves the work of the original typesetters of these classics, unknown craftsmen who laid out the text, often by hand, of each and every page you will read. Their subtle art involving judgment and interaction with the text is in many ways superior and more human than the mechanical methods utilized today, and gave each book a unique, hand-crafted feel in its text that connected the reader organically to the art of bindery and book-making. We think these benefits are worth the occasional imperfection resulting from the age of these books at the time of scanning, and their vintage feel provides a connection to the past that goes beyond the mere words of the text.
