REV. ALEX. MACKINTosH-MY DEAF
FRIENDS; In response to a kind anC
iraternal letter from your pastor DR.
Beckwlth | come to-day to bring to yoU
the cordial salutations OF the people to
whom, as a priest of the Anglican
Church Minister, we all appreciate the
Christian motive which inspired the de-
sire Tor unity on such an occasion as
this, we sympathize with you in your
efforts to spread and deepen the Gospel
OF Christ our common Savior and the
chief corner stone on which we all
build. And we rejoice with you in the
wonderful success OF your undertaking
to build house meet for the worship OF
God, and hope that the beautiful struc-
ture when completed will draw many
into the service OF God. Again, my
dear friends do l assure you who have
done so much to help and encourage US
IN our work in the Anglican Church, OF
our love and sympathy and give you
the assurance also OF our prayers to God,
that he will prosper you in your work
for Him, and of our hope that building
meet for His worship, a refuge for souls
yearning for salvation through Christ
will be the result OF your labors, and
that it will prove but type and fore
shadowing of that great temple not made
with hands eternal in the heavens.
REV. A. N. FIsHER-I stand here re-
preventative OF the Christian portion of
the Japanese population resident on
Oahu, Maui and Kauai. There is special
reason for moments delay in consum-
nation of the exercises of this hour that
you may receive their greetings. The
most of them are recently emergent from
heathenism, and it is in part due to the
liberality of this society and to the labor
VI VI btI4o doSC1l1DlN, Oll6G lllC
gospel has been brought to them. And
by so much as they find themselves un-
speakably advantaged by the new life
upon which they have entered, are they
cordial sin their salutation. In just SO
far as they are rehved OF the fears and
released from the burdens OF idolatrous
belief. and advanced in the scale OF citi-
zenship and elevated in their conception
of privilege, and exalted in unseen rela-
ton, are they apprecistive OF your sacri-
fees in their behalf, and grateful for
your devotion to their interests and de-
lighted in your prosperity. Your en-
largement is their endowment. And
they will watch the rising OF this noble
structure with profound interest, and
when the top stone is brought forth they
viii undoubtedly raise shoutings of
greetings unto it.
Following prayer by the Pastor,
Rev. E. G. Beckwith, the choir sang
the following original hymn com
posed by Mrs. B. F. Dillingham;:
Great God, in tender love look down,
And bless the work our hands perform
Our labors let thy goodness crown
With holy zeal and purpose warm.
Behold, "Corner Stone we lay
In Zion's temple for the Lord;
Our consecrating VOWS We pay
With hearts and tongues in glad accord.
The Masters hand these builders guide;
The Masters grace these walls adorn;
The Masters presence here abide,
Till breaks the bright, unending morn.
