Called early this morning to administer to that sick brother from Hawaii, he is quite sick. Attended meeting at Br. Kaluau’s, spoke on the first principles. There were two strangers there from Hawaii, a man and his wife. I talked some to them about our doctrine and, after I had got home, Br. Kaluau came up with their names for baptism. This makes me to rejoice and hope the work may take a start again in this place. On account of the tide being low, we shall not baptise them until night at high water time. In the evening went down and baptised them, two men and one woman. One man and the woman belonged to Hawaii, the other man belonged to Lanai. I hope the work may now take a start and go ahead again in this place, for I greatly desire to see it prosper and increase.
