"The people to whom your fathers told of the living God, and taught to call 'Father,' and whom the sons now seek to despoil and destroy, are crying aloud to Him in their time of trouble; and He will keep His promise, and will listen to the voices of His Hawaiian children lamenting for their homes."
This sentence stood out to me because it shows how strong the Christian faith is in the Hawaiian people. It's a little ironic that the nation who is trying to annex them has the same religion and that the natives have taken such a strong connection to it. I also think the author does a good job portraying the Hawaiian people almost like God's chosen people in their actions and in the way she refers to them as "His Hawaiian children," that really stood out to me.
