1:21:05
They develop
shocking temperatures.
1:21:08
That's why it's unhealthy for them
to work in the cane fields.
1:21:11
I've seen as many as 40 Hawaiians
hitched to ploughs.
1:21:15
Sugar is a curse on these people.
1:21:18
We reviewed the whole problem
of sugar at the Annual Meeting.
1:21:22
Came to some conclusions
about it.
1:21:23
Very good, excellent!
Tell me.
1:21:25
It is felt the time has come for
our missions to become self-supporting.
1:21:31
To that end, we voted
to authorize members of our ministry
1:21:34
to invest in plantation lands
and sugar mills
1:21:37
and to operate them also,
if they have the skill.
1:21:43
But we are a family...
1:21:46
in Christ.
1:21:48
Dedicated to poverty.
1:21:50
It has cost us 20 years
of poverty and sickness
1:21:55
and sometimes death, to win these people
to Christianity and make them literate.
1:21:59
If we now desire
a competence for our old age,
1:22:03
a heritage for our children,
we have every right to earn it.
1:22:17
We are taking the land
1:22:21
of the people whose souls
we came to save
1:22:25
while they are dying.
1:22:28
A whole race is dying
before our eyes.
1:22:33
I'm afraid that is true.
1:22:36
But the Lord's ways
are not our ways.
1:22:38
And the only answer that I can find
1:22:40
is that perhaps the Lord
intends for these islands
1:22:44
gradually to pass into other hands.
1:22:49
May God forgive you!
1:22:57
There is a feeling
1:22:59
that you've worn yourself out
in God's service, Brother Hale.
