CHRIST CHURCH INTERESTS.

1 Atthe morning service in Christ church l last Sunday, Rev MT Cunningham
 took for his text these words from St Luke l0 II, "Because thou knowest
 not the time of thy visitation" Among other things he said : "We could not hold the children of Israel guilty of doing very wrong thing at this time. We could not be surprised that they did not know when they were visited. They evi- dently wanted to do their duty, and thinking Jesus was a blasphemer the only logical thing in their opinion to do was to cruelty him. They done what we are thanking God daily for, viz: that by crucifying him they made the 2esur- rection possible" This sad parody on the affairs of human fife and especially the social side of life. How often do we do things in the course of our life which seem at the time to be right, logical and natural, but when we look back we find we have done entirely the wrong thing, the thing which to look back to seems the most illogical, the most immaterial. We are sometimes led to think with Ham let, That the world is out of joint" and that we were born to set it right. It must have been so with the Jews, they thought the world was out of joint and that they were born to set it right. This seems to have been the error with us to" day. If we only studied little more the simplicity of the faith that believes in seeking first tue kingdom of God and His righteousness, 5 we would be doing great deal toward the establishment of Christs kingdom here upon earth.

 The mercury, which is usually very quiet and gedate on theso breezy heights, has been playing strange antics during the past few days, evidently trying to climb out of the top of the thermometer. The highest point we have heard quoted was 115 degrees. Candor compels us to state that the general average has been considerably nearer 90 than the number mentioned above. This great heat conn bined with a good deal of electricity, has been disastrous to men, horses and other animals. Several slight cases of sun- stroke are reported, A COW belonging to Joel Skilton was killed by lightning stroke during the slower of Friday, the 7th.

A wrinkle new to Honolulu
is old blue china. 1t has been
the rage in the United States
for six months past, and in
Europe for as many months
before. It's the sort your great
grandmothers and their child
rem used: except that modern
methods of manufacture and
decorating enables the potters
to make the pieces thinner
and the decorations finer.
The people who want some
thing finer than may be had
in Delft, can be accommodated
with "Belleek." This is a
much better quality and is
decorated in a more artistic
manner.
For plain every day use,
the Delft is the best, because
it is made to wear and to use.
We have full sets and single
pieces of it, which will soon
find their way into the homes
of Honolulu. Delft is not a
fad; it was used many years
ago and was fashionable for. a
full century before we came
on this mundane sphere. Its
place was taken by other and
Frenchier patterns; now we
are back to the old German
windmill pictures. Come and
see them.

Durrant, the San Francisco murder
er, in whose case so much interest was

for some time yet. He has secured
another stay from the Supreme Court
of California. The odds are, as. many
people said from the first, that this
fiend will never be punished. There
is every moral certainty that he is
guilty, but there is never the deepest
or most abiding faith in conviction

the delicacies prepared by the manu-

answer equally as well for the home
table and add zest to the APPETITE.
