stalled upon arrival. No trial trip
about this. Talk about delicate
undertakings. The envoy of the
Central Union, to perform this duty,
must be a marvellous individual.
He must possess the rarest tact and
uncommon judgment. Upon him
will devolve the task of selecting a
man who will be satisfied with the
people, and with whom the people
will be satisfied. 1t is a serious
contract indeed. There has to be
summoned by the commissioner
ability to gaze into the future, if
that he possesses. He must keep
in his mind an estimate of just
how the clergyman selected will
impress scores of people. Before
leaving the traveller will get enough
advice to last a congressman
through two sessions. He could
carry away several bales of descrip-
tions of ideals. The gentleman
who is assigned to this work has
the best wishes of the ADVERTISERS.
There will attach to his mission al
most as much interest as there did
to the errand of the annexation
delegation, and he must be more of
a diplomat than any Of these.
How he will be sought after in the
States. There are hundreds of pull
pit occupants up there ready to
pack for Honolulu. But getting
the right one is like searching for
the "Thousandth Man" To whom
will the Central Union entrust this
remarkable work? Several names
have been mentioned already. The
agent will likely leave by the next
Australia.
A joint meeting of the standing
committee of the Church and a
body of the Central Union congre-
CATION was held yesterday morning.
The decision indicated above was
reached after long and careful de-
bate.
During the session, letter from
Rev. Robert T. Hutchins, d. D.,
was read. He withdrew his name
from consideration in connection
with the vacant pulpit at the Cen
trail Union. Rev. Mr.. Hutchins
offered no reason for this except
that he wishes to return to the
United States by the end of the
year. He has been here several
months. Mr.. Hutchins is from
Southern California, where he en-
joyed an enviable reputation as a
pulpit orator. Some of the dis
courses delivered by him here have
been highly praised.
The Central Union congregation |
is very anxious to secure a pastor,
having been without one since the
departure of Rev. DR.. Beckwith. |
1t is ''call" worth having. There |
is a magnificent church, a congre- |
CATION that will assist the pastor to |
the utmost. Then, living in Homo
lulu is better than living anywhere |
else, even for a preacher.

that he went down TO Chelsea station

lection for Mill!Cent Darrell. He had
worshipped her from afar when they had
gone to school together at the little red
brick house at the foot OF the hill. Time

isl devotion. Through youth and the
first years Of manhood she had been his
star OF Bethlehem, as It were, fully as
unapproaChable as though she had In
reality occupied Il position In a world
far beyond the sphere wherein he dwelt.
She may have been aware OF the hom-

too faint hearted to give expression 10

hopelcssly waited for some one csc to

But. FOR reasons best known TO herself

single blesscdness to one OF double
wretchedness and passed contentedly
and comfortably into a state OF old
maidenhood, and the postmaster settled
down into chronic, lovelorn melancholy,
from which comatose condition he was
partially aroused, now and then, by the
thought that she might yet change her
mind ard honor some unfortunate being
with her heart and hand,

Darrell went down TO the seashore one
