Mr.. Editor: Some years ago a
few members of the Baptist Church
living in a neighborhood where we
had no church of our own, we saw
the necessity OF having one. We
began to talk to each other as to
the best way OF proceeding. Finally
brother G. and myself agreed to ap
point a prayer meeting to be held at
his house on the Sunday night fol-
lowing. A good many OF the neigh
bors met and engaged in the prayer.
meeting, and when the meeting was
about to close we proposed to hold
the next meeting at the house of
any n who desired it. Several tx.
pressed their willingness to have
meetings held at their houses. Thus
the people became interested and
went to work and erected a tempo
rary house of worship. We have
had regular preaching for the past 3
years, and there is now a Baptist
Church organized at this place With
Is or more members. Arrange.
ments have been made, the place Sc
lected and purchased on which 10
build a church. A Sabbath School
with u worthy brother Sidney
Gates, Superintendent, has been or.
gained, and we feel encouraged be.
lieving that the blessings of our
Heavenly Father will continue to
rest nPon US who are the least of his
followers. All of the people nea,
US are cordially invited to come and
Hoin with US in this great work. and
to bring all of the children with
them, and let us learn to love God
and keep the Sabbath day holy.
Respectfully, A.

King Kalakaua of Hawaii has
often been q target for humor, but
at last he has the good u not to
waste the scan,y resources Of his
kingdom on a big standing army,
like his brother kings, barbaric and
civilized. 1t is said that his whole
military establishment, outside OF
musicians and escorts, consists of
forty-nine soldiers. It is certain
tina, he does no, have an army in the
modern sense. and also that his
island throne Is nevertheless as Sc.
cure as though be maintained 10000
men, while his people are more
prosperous.
