The services ia The English taiho-
dal hogan at 10 O'Clock aud were
conducted by Rev. Alex Mackln-
tosh, pastor of the second congre-
CATION A goodly assembly of
pooplc joined ia the services. There
we're 40 decorations of the edilice.
The service of praise was finely ren
dered hy joint choir from both con
grogalions, and comprised the fol-
lowing Tallis festival responses,
Nenile-doubie chant proper psalms,
SulliNan's lie Deum aud Jubilae,
Stainer's anthem 80 give thanks
unto the Lord" and the hymns,
"We plough the fields and scatter"
aud Nov thank We all our God"
Mr.. Wray Taylor, organist, played
the Harvest Thanksgiving March at
the close OF the services.
Her Majesty Queen Liliuokalani
and His Exeellency Governor Cleg-
horn, accompanied by Major j. w.
Robertson, II. MS Chamberlain,
were present, also Major Wodehouse,
II. Il. MS Commissioner, and NJ.
ii. W. Severance, L. >. Consul
General.
In the singing of the 18th Psalm,
bass solos were sung by the pastor,
and soprano by Mrs. o. A. Steven,
aud these also sang the duets, pro-
ducing in both cases very fine
effects, while the choral singing in
the same psalm was beautiful.
Rev. Mr.. Macintosh took for his
text Ecclesiastes 81: $50 thy way,
eat thy bread with joy, and drink
thy wine with merry heart; for
God now accepts thy works" One
of the greatest blessings was thank
full heart. Gratitude was not mat
ter of fits and starts, but habtual
virtue. Whenever the word Of God
told us to do anything, leaving US to
do it our own way, there was gen.
orally warning attached to it, as in
the passage, Rejoice, O young man,
but remember that for all
these things God shall bring thee
into Judgment" In the text the i'm
! piled condition of the command to
rejoice was that our works should
have won the approval of God.
Looking back for twenty years in
Honolulu we could not help finding
great deal for which TO be heartily
grateful. We have procured all the
comforts of civilization, and have
enjoyed peace almost uneXampled
IN the world. Whatever disturb
ances have been raised by the exer-
else of unruly passions have usually
been assuaged by the force of rea-
son. The preacher went on to urge
that we should bring forth fruits in
keeping with our great blessings.
He bespoke more attention being
paid to the training up of children to
| good works in the church and the
world. One of the plain commands
Of our Lord was the extension of his
kingdom on the earth. Some time
ago the Church of England set apart
the 30th of November for prayers
and contributions in behalf of the
Society for the Propagation Of the
Gospel, and the church here had
always observed the day. Before
concluding the pastor referred to the
death, within the past year, of King
Kalakaua, Prince Consort Dominis
and Minister Carter, suggesting that
this would be gloomy thanksgiving
season if ii were not that their faith
was in God.
