Everlasting Father The discourse
was strong in argument and interest,
and held the attention Of a goodly-
sized audience. Two large vases of
beautiful Olinda lilies adorned the

A QUICK PASSAGE.
On Sunday, December 9th, the
brigantine ]. D. Spreckels, Captain
Christensen, arrived at Kahului. She
made the phenomenal run of 9 days
and 20 hours from San Francisco, and
brought, in addition to general mer-
chandise, q most important parcel of
freight, the electric light plant, which
will soon make brilliant the streets of
Maui's enterprising seaport.
Quite gale was blowing, and just
after the pilot had most skilfully
brought her to the mooring and the
anchor chain was being paid out, the
hawser attached to the buoy parted
and she swung around and cOllided
with the fOur-masted schooner Golden
Shore. Her boat was smashed and
the railing and davits were carried
away, the larger vessel being un-
injured.

each of twenty minutes duration,
Miss Gertrude Styles and Mr.. l.. An
