REV. T.. p. BIRNIE'S SERMON UPON
AN UP-TO-DATE SUBJECT.
Social and Church Life Should Not be
1nterfered With by Political Rancor
Morrow Minded Men Deprecated.

The sermon preached by Rev. Doug
las T. Birnie at the Central Union
Church yesterday morning applied di
re"tly to conditions as they prevail in
Honolulu today. Its aim was direct
ed against the narrow mindedness
which people permit to separate them
from their friends.
a large stone rolled into a mud
puddle would cause the water to
splash, while it could he dropped into
the ocean and no disturbance of the
water would follow. So was the diff
ference between the largely populat-
ed centers and our own community.
In the city ones individuality is lost.
One can enter the high twelve-story
Office buildings in the big metropolis
and nobody notices him. Here in
Honolulu it is decidedly different.
For this reason our conduct toward
our brothers should be different.
Politics should not divide our social
| life nor church work with those who
differ. In little country like this we
should work side by side.
People are closely watched and imi-
tated here, and there should be purity
and holy living among individuals and
families. Without it there is no hope
for the city.
Intelligent discrimination between
good and evil should also be made
When man is having a building
erected he carefully examins the
brick, lumber and other material that
goes into it so that his building will
be solid and ruin may not follow in
years to come. This same practice
should follow in building up the
Kingdom of Christ.
The good man welcomes investiga
tion, for his record behind him will
help him in a strange land.
Fhs speaker also advocated modest.
of mind among the people. We shoul,
not claim inability in opinions. Their
are many weak people. but few lead
ers. Isolated here in Hawaii as w,
are, Mr.. Birnie thinks our actions can
not be too carefully considered.
The speakers thought was alon.
the line of common responsibility. III
urged that the people quicken tn,
building up of the Kingdom of Chris
in these islands by each and everyon
assuming his or her obligation. Fl,
gave this beautiful stanza:
who seeks for Heaven alone to saw
his soul
May keep the path, but will neve
reach the goal;
While he who walks in love ma,
wander far,
But God will bring him where tn
blessed are.'

Tropical Fruits.

Visitors to these shores are
admirers of the great abun-
dance of Tropical Fruits to be
seen growing in the large
grounds of the private resi-
dences, but they invariably ask
why it is so difficult to obtain
this same fruit at the stores.
1t is simply because those who
make it their business to sell
the fruit to the stores, do not
understand the manner of
handling it to the best advan-
tage to have it bring a fancy
price. This evil can be rene

GRAVES Of PAST HEROES
IMPRESSIVE SERVICES HELD AT
NUUANU CEMETERY.
An Imposing Procession Does Honor
to the Departed Members of the
Grand Army of the Republic.

The graves of the heroes of the
Civil War who slumber in Nuuanu
cemetery were beautifully decorated
with flowers on Saturday. The dem
onstration made in honor of these
men was touching and impressive.
The column that marched from Ala
| kea to Nuuanu cemetery by the way
of Vineyard and School streets was
the largest ever seen in Honolulu on
any similar occasion.
A platoon of police, under command
of Captain Robert Parker, led the
way. Then came Marshal c. II. Ed
redge, closely followed by Lieutenant
Colonel Fisher and staff. Following
! the Hawaiian band was the First Regi-
ment and then the United States Naval
battalion of ten companies and the
flagship band, Lieutenant Commander
IngersolI commanding. President
Dole and members of the Cabinet Ad-
miraI Beardslee and United States
Naval officers and other dignitaries,
members of the Grand Army of the
Republic and the Sons of Veterans, oc-
cupying carriages, and escorted by the
Mounted Patrol and Mounted Reserve,
commanded by Marshal A. NJ. Brown,
brought up the rear of the procession.
At the cemetery impressive services
were held over the graves in the G. A.
r. lot The Veterans were gathered
about the lot, while on the Eva side
were seated the President, Ministers,
Admiral Beardslee and staff Captain
Cotton, Captain Book, United States
Charge d Affaires Ellis Mills, and Vice
Consul w. Porter Boyd.
The G. A. r. ritual was read by
Post Commander r. j. Greene and
Captain Louis McGrew of the Sons of
Veterans. Chaplain William McCand-
less offered prayer. The decorating
, of the graves was performed by the
officer of the day. Comrade William F.
Williams. simultaneously with this
, ceremony, Comrade Williams repeated
the stanZa:
t "Cover them over, yes, cover them
over
Parent and husband, brother and
Crown in your hearts those dead he
roes of ours.
, Cover them over with beautiful flow
ers."

the orator of the day. He spoke at
considerable length, paying glowing
tribute to the boys in blue and the
boys in gray who gave up their lives
in the struggles of the war
Then the roll call of the dead buried
in Nuuanu cemetery took place, and
when Comrade Frederick Sherman
had gone over the list Post Command
er Greene responded with the words:
Gone to join the Grand Army above"
y Three volleys from the American
sailors were fired in honr of the dead,
e the bugal calls, and then the bene-
diction by Rev. ID. p. Birnie closed the
service.
The Citizens Guard were grouped
} about the grave of Charles Lunt

received by prominent societies in
America, she comes well accredited

Primarily because it never gets

4 New Sect Which Docs Amazing
ThinRsWhilc worshipinR.
There is a new religious sect in Cam
bridge, Mass, the members of which
style themselves MacDonalhites. They
settled here about n year ago,b but il is
only recently that they have had n set
led place OF worship. They are pros
porous financially and purchased n few
months ago a little chapel formerly
used by the Free Will Baptists. They
outgrew this and last month invested
$4,000 in n chupe! on Hampshire street.
formerly known as the First Reformed
Episcopal church. One peculiar fca-
ture of the worship Of TIE Macdonald
ties is the immense R"ount OF noise
they always make in conducting serv-
ices. The people in the vicinity Of the
chapel say the representatives of the
new sect are so enthusiastic in their
demonstrations during she meetings
that they make life n burden 10 anyone
within hearing.
The regular meetings are held on
Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday even
ings and the congregation as n whole at
each meeting works itself up to II state
of frenzy similar TO the wild excite
mcnt OF an old-fnshioncd Methodist
camp meeting, but far more intense.
There are perhaps $50 men. women and
children in the congregation, entirely
from the working class of people.
There is apparently no pastor or other
spiritual leader. After n few words Of
prayer or cXhortation the audience
sings from n hymn book. Soon the
books are laid aside and by n rapid
process of evolution the musical notes
become hnvv.s, shricks and groans, ms
II from souls in mOrtal distress. The
movements - the bodies arc unnatural
and physically distressing. The face
is distorted, the lower limbs drawn up.
and the head thrown back. Men and
women rise from their seats and sway
their bodies 10 and fro as they emit
cnr-picrcinC yclls. Gradually the mus
Giles stiffcn and the cycs become
set until the enthusiast seems to be in
a trance. After this condition has con-
tinucd for an hour or so the Worship
crs suddenly seem to recover their nor
NAL selves and the meeting comes to
an abrupt close.
The members of this strange sect are
good citizens. They are not disposed
to he talkative about their religion
