In response to the call of the chair
man for remarks on the contents of the
document, Mr.. T. r. Walker arose
and proceeded to outline the steps
which eliminated in the formation and
transmission of this document to the
members of the Second Congregation
In 1885 permission was sought for
and obtained by members of st. An
drew's from the Rt. Rev. the Lord
Bishop of Honolulu, Bishop of the
Anglican Church, to the effect that
they be granted certain rights. Later
on the formation of the Second Congre-
cation was consummated. No change
had been made. although such had been
suggested several times.
Upon the arrival in Honolulu of the
Rev. John osborne. vice dean of st.
Andrews. an effort had been made to
unite the two congregations. In Mr..
Walkers mind such a scheme was very
much to be desired, if suitable arrange
ments could be made. Certainly it
would be conducive TO the good all.
Mr. II. Won Holt then reviewed the
document. section by section. making
comments here and there. and dwell
ing. like Mr.. Walker. on the advisable
ity. under proper circumstances, OF
uniting the two congregations. He
made the remark that the document,
of which the Rev. John osborne is un-
doubtedIy the author. was worthy OF
earnest consideration in that 1t based
the scheme upon a good working basis
by conceding such rights and privileges

heartily applauded. showing how abso-

gregation agreed with him.
Mr.. w. L. Stanley, church warden OF
the Second Congregation, was the next
sneaker. He like the previous two, was
in sympathy with the movement OF
union-and union on honorable terms
He had sounded the pulse OF the Sec
