PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH.
"What IT Means to be Useful"

Yesterday morning at the Presby-
terian church the pastor, Rev. 81. w.
Moore, spoke from the text: Deborah,
Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was
buried below Bethel under an oak and
the name of it Was called, The oak Of
weeping" Gen. 1878 pert of the SER
mon is given below:
There Is something exquisite in the
wording Of +his text. 1t swings wide
open the door of Jacob and Rachaels
home where thousands of years ago the
children laughed and romped and
cried, where Rachael and Jacob sang
and suffered, and Deborah the nurse
spread the poultice, dressed the chill
dren and taught them how to pray.
Deborah was first in Isaac's household.
She knew Jacob and Esau since they
wore baby clothes. She perhaps
closed Rebekah's eyes when she died.
Every one loved Deborah and when
she died they buried her under an a
tree and called it.: "The oak OF weep
ing" How every one missed her.
Dead has she been thousands OF years
but her name and unselish labors are
embalmed forever.

DINNER ON EXECUTIVE GROUNDS
THE LUNCHEONS.

At noon yesterday, 1900 sons Of
Montana and California were feasted
at the Executive building grounds by
the Big Hundred and the ladies of Ho-
nolulu. The decOrun1 OF the large body
of troops was absolutely faultless, and
they seemed to enjoy very much the
entertainment afforded. Chairman
Ashley of the Commissary Committee
and John A. Hassinger, the genial
cigar general of the same committee,
were most active in the performance
of their respective duties
The troops were marched from the
troopship to the grounds in a body.
They were headed by the Montana
band. At the grounds the men fell
in at the tables and the officers were
conducted to the Officers Club. The
Hawaiian band took its position in the
stand on the grounds and dispensed
patriotic and martial airs, playing un-
til 3 o'clock in the afternoon.
At the conclusion of the feast three
cheers were given for "the ladies,
"the hospitable people of Honolulu
and the Hawaiian band" The men
then enjoyed themselves looking over
the grounds. Many of them stay ID
there until o'clock. The receipt: Is
on the whole, was one of the l40st
successful yet given.
AT THE Y. M. G. A.
There was a delightful service in the
Y. NJ. G. A. hall last night for the
benefit of the Boys in Blue. Secre-
tary Coleman occupied the chair. Rev.
Dr. NJ. c. Harris, of the Methodist
work among Japanese, was the prin-
cipal speaker. He talked for about
fifteen minutes on duty to country and
what was expected of men in the ser
vice at the present time. Mr. Coleman
made a few remarks along the same
line at the close. An excellent musical
program was put on.
