Clarissa Chapman Armstrong
[edit]- ... that American missionary Clarissa Chapman Armstrong led Bible study meetings for Queen Kalama while her husband served as Minister of Public Instruction under King Kamehameha III?
Source (pp 284-285): "In 1847 came a great change, by an urgent invitation from the Hawaiian Government to Mr. Armstrong to take the office of Minister of Public Instruction,..."I was myself," she writes, "obliged to give up the women's meeting in which I had worked for years with so much pleasure, but I had no difficulty in devising new plans for usefulness. I organized a weekly meeting for prayer and Bible reading among the wives of the chiefs, including the queen, who was well disposed to such endeavors, and I continued my Bible readings from house to house. Our increased income, adding comforts to our family life, did much for my health, and I could see that my departure from the mission had increased rather than lessened my ability to work."

- Comment: The queen is not named by name here but based on the date of the event this can only be Kalama.
Created by Penny Richards (talk) and KAVEBEAR (talk). Nominated by KAVEBEAR (talk) at 23:04, 7 September 2018 (UTC).
Article was created on the same day as it was nominated and it's long enough. It's wihin policy and the structure and formulation of the article is very good for an article of that size. Hook is OK and 179 characters. I don't think it's a problem the queen was not mentioned by name when it's obvious it was her from the year mentioned. QPQ ok.
