said

no thought that his Majesty would call
upon me to respond, but with heart J
full of kindly feeling and good wishes for
the Princess, | willingly stand up to try
and put in words what my heart prompts. /
No man, no woman, no child, Of all the /
many here can withhold from the mind /
a sincere wish for the life and happiness I
Of her whom to-day we wish to honor. |
There is certainly not person /
here that looks upon the fair, (
bright and happy face OF this child, and .
not in the fullness Of their heart trust .
that her future may be, like this day, /
ever surrounded by scores Of friends.
May she indeed live TO be the "TIope OF .
the Nation" May her education be a
good and true one, and her training !
such that when, in the natural events Of
life, she may rule over this land, may itiI
be rule of wisdom, always retaining
the love of the people Surely all here
will say with me "Aloha nui" to the
Princess Kaiulani.
The latter speech was interpreted into
