But the religion of my fathers is good enough for me.&#8221; Now that is all right. At least I think so. And I have no fault to find with the natives for the lingering love they feel for their ancient customs. But I do find fault with Bishop Staley for reviving those customs of a barbarous age at a time when they had long been abandoned and were being forgotten &#8211; when one more generation of faithful adherence to the teachings of the American missionaries would have buried them for ever and made them memories of the past &#8211; things to be talked of and wondered at, like the old laws that made it death for a plebeian to stand erect in the presence of his king, or for a man to speak to his wife on a tabu day &#8211; but never imitated.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe Sacramento Daily Union, July 30, 1866<\/p>\n<p>Honolulu, June 30, 1866.(Source- http:\/\/www.twainquotes.com\/18660730u.htm)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Reread this excerpt from Mark Twain&#8217;s letters and answer the following questions as a reply to this post.
