an eloquent eulogy on the late
Queen. lie first spoke of her from
birth to her marriage, as being the
smoothcst portion of her life. Sec
ondly, us queen, when she was
called upon TO bear sudden bereave-
ments in quick succession. Thirdly,
MS widow. The rev. gentleman
spoke in this part of her life concern
ing her benevolence and love for her
people, and as motherly woman.
He concluded by speaking of her
christian character and fully believed
she had great faith in God. At the
conclusion of the preachers remarks,
Mr.. Charles Turner sang the recita-
tive and tenor air from Mendels-
sohn's Elijah, ''lf with all Your
hearts. J." 1t was very appropriate
selection and Mr.. Turner's magnifi-
cent tenor voice was heard to great
advantage. AT one o'clock the strains
of a funeral march from the organ
announced the arrival of the
surpliced choir, and Bishop and
clergy of st. Andrews Cathedral.
They marched up the centre aisle and
took their position around the body
on either side. The Bishop CON-
menced the service by reading, in
Hawaiian and English, the opening
sentences commencing, 81 am the
resurrection and the life, saith the
Lord, etc." The choir next chanted
Psalm 90 to funeral chant, after
which the Rev. Alex. Macintosh
read the lesson taken from the first
book of Corinthians. The following
hymn was sung:-
When our heads are bowed with woe,
When our bitter tears o'ertlow,
When we mourn the lost, the dear.
JEsu, Son of Mary, hear.
Thou our throbbing flesh hast worn.
Thou our mortal griefs hast borne.
Thou hast shed the human tear;
JEsu. Son of Mary, hear.
When the solemn death-bell tolls
For our own departed souls,
When our final doom is near.
JEsU, Son of Mary, hear.
Thou hast bowed the dying head.
Thou the blood of life hast shed.
Thou hast filled mortal bier:
JEsU, Son of Mary, hear.
| When the heart is sad within
With the thought of all its sin,
When the spirit shrinks with fear.
.JEsU. Son Of Mary, hear.
Thou the shame, the grief, hast known,
Though the sins were not Thine own;
Thou hast dcigned their.load to bear;
.JEsU. Son of Mary, hear. Amen.
The Rev. George Wallace then
read the lesson in English, and an
other hymn given below concluded
the services at the church:-
Brief life is here our portion;
Brief sorrow. short-lived care:
The life that knows no ending.
The fearless life, is there.
o happy retribution!
Short toll, eternal rest;
For mortals and for sinners
A mansion with the blest.
And now we fight the battle.
But then shall wear the crown
OF full and everlasting
And passionless renown;
And now we watch and struggle.
And now we live in hope,
And Sion in her anguish
With Babylon must cope;
| But He whom now we trust in
Shall then be seen and known:
| And they that know and see him
| Shall have him for their own.
The morning shall awaken,
The shadows shall decay,
And each truc-hearted servant
Shall shine as doth the day.
There GOD our King and Portion,
In fulness of his grace,
Shall we behold forever,
And worship face to face.
o sweet and blessed country.
The Home of COPS elect!
o sweet and blessed country,
That eager hearts expect!
JEsU, in mercy bring lis
To that dear land of rest;
Who art, with GOD the FATHER,
And SPIRIT, ever Blest. Amen.
PREPARING TO MOVE.
