Considering that the choir as organ
lied had not had much time for
practice, the musical portion OF the
services we're highly creditable.
Rev. w. b. Oleson, the first speak
er, discoursed on "The House for
the People" The avowed purpose
in erecting the building was to make
it spiritual home for the people of
Honolulu. The founder of our reli-
gion dealt with men on a common
level. 1t was the peoples house be-
cause it was Gods house. No man
would willingly stand outside the
gates of the celestial city because it
was too beautiful and glorious with
in. Let no one absent himself from
this house of God because of any
real or fancied contrasts between
what he is and what it is. 1t was
their house whether believers OF
not, theirs because of the message ii
had for them. They needed the
gospel and the ministrations of this
house of God, Let this house be
the house of the people, in the spirit
of the example of Jesus, and Homo,
lulu may well bless the day that ever
its stones were laid and its doors
thrown wide open.
Rev, o. p. Emerson spoke on "The
House for the Children" Child life
was the central feature of the house
! The church was the larger home
