THE CHURCHES.
Sermons Preached Before Large
Congregations.

Sermons Preached Before Large
Congregations.
Rev. ]. NJ. Monroe preached a SER
mon to parents and Sunday School
teachers at the Christian Church last
night, upon the subject of How Early
Children May Unite With the Church. -
He said that those who repudiate in
FAINT membership had probably sung
too far to the other extreme.
1t is mistake to suppose that a
mind must be mature before being able
to accept the simple terms of the Cos
pei, If it were necessary for a child to
understand the Westminster confess
sion of faith, then, indeed, they would
need to have almost the mental ability
of a philosopher. If they must believe
in total hereditary depravity, that
would be a barrier to children entering
the church; but the Scriptures say that
these things (the Gospels) are writ
ten that We might believe that Jesus
10 IlC SHll0ls llC OOu VI I0dI
believing We might have life through
His name" And it is as easy to ac-
cede to that as to accept Mr.. Dole as
President. New Testament conversions
were often made on one presentation
OF the Gospel. 1t is not an intricate
thing, the main facts of the Gospel
If you do not capture the young for
Christ before the age of 16, you are
apt not to do it before 80. Get young
people before they are absorbed in the
sterner things of life, for then the
chance to get their attention is gone.
Become a Christian before getting
married; before getting rich, so as to
make your choice in keeping with
Christian principles. Settle the ques-
ton of divinity first. Let the children
come into the church in the golden
days of youth and spend their lives in
the church.
The ordinance of baptism was OBJ
served at the close of the service.
At the NJ. E. Church, Rev. Mr.. Peck
delivered an interesting discourse last
evening from the text, Come Over
Into Macedonia and Help Us" He
gave the history of the circumstances
which led up to and surrounded this
cry, and made local application of the
lesson
Rev. D. P. Birnie had large con-
gregation at the Central Union Church
Sunday morning to listen to his ser
mon on Temptation. The lesson was
based upon the first eight verses of
Luke ". being the story of the temp
tation of Jesus on the mountain. There
was an equally large audience in the
evening.
At the morning service Donald de V.
Graham sang a solo.

leave that place, Mr.. Ahrens to assume
managership of he new plantation
A large lanai was built especially for
the purpose and some appreciation of
its size may be gained when it is
stated that there were over $50 guests
present, among them being Dr. and
MIS-. Weddick, Mr.. and Mrs. j. Aber-

and Mrs. James Holt, Miss Phillips,
Miss Abernethy, John Spencer, John

from the city, plantation and places
surrounding.
Before sitting down to the sumptu-
Gus repast, Mrs. Gilland and others
gave each one of the guests lei so
chat the scene was made very gay and
festive.
Mr.. John Phillips in toast to Mr.
Ahrens said that the people of Waia-
nae were most sorry to see him sever
his connection with the plantation, so
satisfactory had been his work and
| his ealinQe with them en- kindly He
wished to congratulate him however,
on the betterment he had made for
/ himself.
| To this Mr.. Ahrens answered that
he was most grateful for all the kind
nesses that had been shown him and
hoped that in going he left nothing
but good will behind.

was elected superintendent Asso-
ciated with him in the Immediately
work of the hospital will be two other
Chinese physicians not yet elected to
their posts and foreign physician,
this probably having been decided on
because of the fact that quite num-
Der of Chinese prefer other than their
own physicians.

tai was given to the Oahu Lumber and
Building Association and the superin-
tendence to Kau Wing Chew. The

Its situation could not have been
more happily chosen. Within conve-

far enough away and shut off so COM

Buried Cities in Central Asia.

The Norwegian traveller Sven Hedin,
has contributed to German journal,
'Globus," an interesting account of his
journeyings in Central Asia in the dis
trict north of the Kwenlung Mountains.
Ruins of large towns were discovered
which had been buried by successive
sandstorms over thousand years,
hence very modern from Petrie point
Of view. Separate houses were uncov-
cred of very fragile construction con-
s.sting of wooden pillars, while the
walls were put together of plated reeds
covered with mud. The latter we're rem
dered at once impervious and suitable
fer decoration by being coated with
white plaster. Drawings were discov-
cred on these walls, and we'll executed,
of human figures. horses. dogs and flow
ers. and judging by the copies which
have been brought back, of no small
artistic merit. Small figures Of Buddha
were also dug up, as we'll as various

LIBRARIES IN TURKEY.
Many Opportunities for Learning in
the Suitan's Realm.

To read of the barbarism Of the Turks
one would come to a direct conclusion
that the vicious expounders of the Mo-
hammedan religion had very few ad-
vantages placed at their disposal to
cultivate their morals and principles
and elevate themselves to a higher
plane of life. This is a ridiculous no.
ton, says the New York Mail and Ex-
press" Constantinople has no less
than forty libraries, each containing in
the neighborhood of 1000 volumes. AL
though this great abundance of litera-
ture is placed within reach of every
Turk, the books are only used by the
higher classes The Mohammedan
creed does not instruct the Turks to
repudiate knowledge, which idea seems
TO prevail in America, but on the other
hand Mohammed instructed his follow
ers to acquire knowledge and use /. to
good advantage. The early Sultans, as
we'll as their predecessors, the Saracen
califs, were highly educated, and a di-
rect contrast with the present dynasty
of the blood-stained throne. They were
the patrons and Jealous seekers of
knowledge.
BE the support Of the faith and the
protectors of the Sciences" was the
dying declaration of the first Osman to
his successor. Orckan, in the beginning
of the fourteenth century.
That the later Sultans have failed to
adhere to the teachings of the Koran
is apparent from the present deplora BILE
condition of the country. 1t is nothing
more than a retrogression, drifting
from civilization to barbarism and ig-
n0rance.

The Anthem List.

In connection with a vacancy which
has lately occurred in the office of pre-
centor at Bristol Cathedral, a good
story comes to hand. A few years ago
an unfortunate dispute between the
precentor and the organist of the cathe-
dral eliminated in legal proceedings
before the Bishops commissary sitting
as an ecclesiastical judge in the chap
ter-house. Sir Walter Philimore ap-
peared for the dean and chapter, and
Sir Richard Webster for the organist
Needless to say that counsePs fees
ranged high, running in the aggregate
into something not far short of four
figures. Sir Richard, in his modesty,
declined to robe in the deans vestry,
and retired for that purpose to the lay
clerks robing-room. AS he was adj
1usting his wig before the looking-glas
his eye was caught by the anthem list
for the week, which hung from a peg

chanced to be How Dear Are Thy
Counsels!" while the theme for the Sec
ord day of the trial was "Oh. Where
Shall Wisdom Be F'ound?" --Westmin-

rulers of Turkey showed their desire for
learning is the establishment of their
libraries either in connection with the
mosques and colleges or apart as dis
tinct institutions. Red, green OF black
are the predominating oolors of the
binding of volumes. The bindings are
of leather, and to protect the books
from moths, dust, worms, ETC., the
books are inclosed in similar material.
This protection was a wise conception,
for the destructive little insects would
have found fresh material in uncut
volumes. The titles of many of the
volumes, instead Of printed ON the back,
are marked first upon the edge Of the
leaves.
Cases, with glass and ironwork fronts
are ranged along the walls Of the IL
brary. These libraries are open on
every day of the week except Tuesday
and Friday. Visitors are allowed to
use any book, make extracts from it or,
If Nthey desire, copy the entire manu-
scripts. The subjects Of the greater
part of the works are, of course, anal
ogous to the studies taken up in the
colleges. The mass of books contain
copies Of the Koran and comments
upon it, also the collection of the oral
laws of Mohammed.
The manuscripts are all written on
the finest vellum, and some Of them
afford beautiful specimens of penman-
ship. Most Of these collections are be-
ing added to by the produce of the sur
plus funds arising from the original
endowments, and also by the liberal
contributions Of the few literary ad-
mirers. The man of letters, the states
man or the lawyer at his death gener-
ally bequeaths his collection to the
libraries and receives the benediction
of those who avail themselves Of the

and immigrants, if the right kind of
people, expect, first of all, good schools
and good roads. The first are necessary
to the maintenance of the peace of their
families in the scale of civilization, and
the other necessary to their success as
business men.
California people ought to earnestly
study the good roads problem through
the experience of other people, with the
determination of solving it and the
feeling that in no other way can they
so quickly add to the value of their
lands and increase the population OF
the State.
TAXATION AND REPRESENTA-

But the moment our big corporations

New York, April 12.-John Donovan,

tried in the court OF general sessions for
~assaulting Frank Ward the night of
January II. John Bradley. who wit
messed the assault, was called on to
testify by Assistant District Attorney

van. l wish you to show the Jury lust
how it occurred"
You want me to hit you like Nut
ton hit Ward?' asked Bradley, getting
ready.
That's it. | wish to show the jury
how the blow was"
The assistant district attorney failed
to inish the sentence. Bradley let go.
1t was like he kick of a young mule.
and Mr.. La~uterbach grasped the railing
for support, while the people in the
court room, the jury and officers burst
into a laugh.
"One, two, three, four"-and a sport
ing man in the back Of the room count
ed the seconds while Mr.. Lauterbach
came back to the previous question.
The blow was a right hand swing with
the fiat of the hand, and was on the jaw
and ear. When the attorney found
that his jaw was not broken he re-
marked:
IF we have occasion to illustrate that
again YOU will play Ward and / Will be
Donovan"
The blow was good from the states
standpoint, as a little later the jury
brought in a verdict of guilty. Mutt

a domestic science course gives some rules
for the proper placing of the meat TO be
carved on the platter. Roasts of beef, rib
and sirloin should have the backbone at
the right hand Of the platter. A fllet Of
beef should be placed with the thickest
end at the right hand side of the Platter;
calfs head with the face at the right;
roast pig with head to the left: roast or
boiled ham with thickest part on further
side of Platter; large birds, as goose or
turkey, with heads to the left. Small
birds are placed crosswise with heads on
further side of the platter. A leg of lamb,
mutton or veal is placed with the thickest
part oil the further side Of the platter.
The platter should be large enough to re-
ceive the meat as it is sliced, or extra
dishes should be provided for that pur-
pose.
