Then consider how one can amplify and
perpetuate ones life through the lives OF

for men in general Spiritual forces go
forth from one to shape the lives Of
others for bad, alas or for good, thank

Emotion and Faith.

There are two classes of Christians
those who live chiefly by emotion. and
those who live chiefly by faith. The
first class those who live chiefly by emo
ton, remind one OF ships that move by
the outward impulse of winds operating
upon sails. They are often I'm dead calm
often out OF their course, and sometimes
driven bark And it Is only when the
winds are fair and powerful that they
move onward with rapidly. The other
class. those who live chiefly by faith
remind one of the magnificent steamers
which = cross the Atlantic. which are
moved by an interior and permanent
principle. and which. setting at defiance
all ordinary obstacles. advance steadily
and swiftly to thsir destination, through
calm and storm. through cloud and sun
shine We live by faith" says the ApoS-
tie. And those who learn so TO live are
stable. Joyous, and triumphant. IL Is

In the two instances above there was no
opposition, but in the choice OF grand

stone to the grand masters chair, num-
ber of can dldateS were in the field. but the

choice fell upon George Z. Shaw. who was
appointed to fill the vacancy last year. He

WANT THE QUEEN.
Hawaiian Roya!ists Set a
Day for Restoration.
They Will Attack the Provisional
Government June 1.-The Elec-
tion on the Islands.

HONOLULU, May 3, 1894.-The election
for delegates to the constitutional eonven-
ton was held yesterday and passed off in a
very quiet manner. No royalist candi-
oates were in the field. and consequently
no special interest was taken in the cleo
tiou.
The American Union party had five can
didates and six others ran independently.
Of the regular ticket three were elected.
one Of whom, A. K. Kunuiakea, is a de-
scendant of the old reigning family. the
Kamehamehas, and the last of his race.
The cumulative ballot system was used
and 7747 votes were cast. AS each voter
was allowed six votes. the total vote was
1891 out of a possible 100. The Portu-
guese voted soldIy for their two can
didates and elected both. Returns from
the other islands are not yet In, but as
there was very little opposition to the
American Union party ticket no contest is
expected.
c. b. Wilson. the sx-Queen's Marshal.
has been arrested on charge OF being
accessory before the TACT In mayhem
case. Wilson, who was present at bar
room fight in which tough" royalst
and an annexationist were the principals.
encouraged his royalist friend, advising
him TO ''kill the annexationist.
During the melee the Royalist bit a
piece out of his opponents ear. Wilson
is suspected of having melted the fight.
He was released on $1,000 bail and his trial
comes up today.
Admiral Walker and his staff have been
spending much time at Pearl Harbor re-
Gently, making soundings and inspecting
the surrounding country. No definite
action has been decided upon for the naval
station, in spite of reports 10 the contrary.
A nun ber of prominent royalists have
set June as restoration day. 1t Is stated
that they expect to be fully armed by that
time. and il no help is received from the
United States they intend to make an at
tack on the Provisional Government. The
Government officials take no stock in the
rumor, however.
The sand bags which have surrounded
the executive building ever since last De-
cember have been removed, and the mill
tary force is being gradually reduced.
