Présentation de l'éditeur :
The missionary Fathers who, through God sblessing, changed Hawaii spagan night to day, have nearly all gone to their eternal rest; and now it is becoming a matter of increasing interest to save the records of their character and work. Every letter and manuscript of theirs, every reminiscence and memorial of them, is becoming very precious to their relatives and those interested in the mission cause. It is with a view to save some of these priceless relics, that this memorial volume of Rev. William P. Alexander is published for his children and particular friends. There are writings by him and of him, which they feel they cannot afford to lose; there are narratives of his experience, the influence of which they need; there are tributes of afiection, which they desire to weave as a wreath of immortelles about his memory and the mission cause. In accordance with what is known of his unassuming disposition it is not desired to claim for him more regard than for the other missionary Fathers, but to show what divine grace may accomplish in excellence and beauty of character and in self-sacrificing labor to the glory of God. I have been assisted by my brother, Prof. Wm. D. A lexander, in collecting the materials for this volume, and by other members of the family in its publication, to all of whom it has been a labor of love and of interest in the mission cause. Since the above was written the death of Mrs. Mary A lexander, the widow of Rev. Wm. P. A lexander, has occurred. A nother chapter is added, giving an. account of her sickness and death, and tributes to her memory. (iii) J. M. A.
