This morning met according to appointment and confirmed those baptised last evening; first taught them the nature of the ordinance and their duty as members of the church. Employed in making a pair of shoes for a man at Makawao. Hasting to be there on Christmas to keep the day there, in the afternoon Br. Rice arrived from Waichu with a horse for me to ride over. Franky is quite sick today with a bad cold, had a hot fever. I anointed him, and Br. Cannon and myself laid hands on him and he soon got better. Before dark it set in a gale of wind and rain from the south.
