rive national HdRs Will De carried IN
the procession on Saturday symbolizing
the possibility OF international union
on at least one great issue. Only the
banners Of the Sunday schools will be
assembled in the large banner rack, to
be built on the corner of the Kawaia-
ha0 church. There should be from 25
to 30 OF these.
Sunday schools are compound Or
ganizations. Not only are there the
departments-+adult, intermediate and
primary-but the Hawaiian Sunday
schools are made up OF Apanas. Each
Of these is likely to have its special
banner.
Old Kawaiahao is made up OF Puai-
kalani, Moilili, Manoa, Waikiki, Pauao
and others, besides the Kawaiahao
Seminary. There are bound to be a
goodly number representing this
church, over 300 perhaps, and when
they sing there will be no uncertain
sound.
Kaumakapili is as truly composite.
Maemae lin which Mrs. Waterhouse Is
the leading spirit) has prepared a
beautiful banner and will come in
force. Kapuukolo, Holokahana and
Pauoa swell the number to over 300 in
all probability.
The Portuguese have a beautiful and
significant emblem in addition TO the
banners they will carry. From the
main school, Kakaako and Punahou,
they expect to muster over 200.
The matter OF numbers is by no
means the essential element in the sue
cess OF the day, but it Is quite certain
that the Sunday school scholars will
be there in numbers and thus the in
fiuence of a notable spectacle and in
spring music will be more wide
spread.
The element Of refreshments can be
safely counted out, however deeply
rooted 1t has always been considered
to be in Honolulu functions. There
was, to be sure, some suggestion OF re-
freshments at the close OF the eXer-
cises, but 1t met with almost universal
disapprobation. Through mistake
an announcement was made that the
Central Union people would be "re-
freshed" at the home of Miss Hopper
after the exercises. We are authorized
to say that the "loaves and fishes
clause in the invitation was not at all
ha
will be 800 strong without suggestion
OF soda water.
The little japanese church OF the Ha-
waiian Board management will appear
and from them there may be expected
some of the fascinating Japanese
music. The Methodist japanese will
probably unite with the main church.
Mr.. p. II. Dodge and Mr.. Wilmot
have been giving a great deal OF time
TO the details OF decoration. The
whole line OF march will supply ample
Aeld for lessons to be worked into
suggestive texts, framed in bright col
Ors.
1t is expected that work OF adornlng
the three stands will be turned over
to committees OF ladies from the var
ious organizations. They always know
where to get green materials and new
er have to look far to supply taste In
producing effects.
About forty invitations have been
given TO people expected to review on
that day. All, with. the exception OF
the Cabinet. are representatives OF re-
ligious bodies in the city. Theirs Is
a most desirable position, as each
school sings to them, while the whole
line waits.
II Is right in the center OF the
square that the public Is likely TO con-
gregate in the greatest numbers, for
the review stand Is to be here, In front
OF the opera house, and the individual
singing will be continuous for nearly
an hour at this point before ever the
exercises begin. There Is ample room
here too, while II is to be regretted
that but comparatively few besides the
pupils OF the schools can get near "a
the speakers stand in Kawaiahao
church yard Hence the exercises at
Kawaiahao must be largely for the
Sunday schools alone, while the crowds
OF spectators can be accommodated In
the square.
Promptly at $3.50 spectators NAV ex-
pect to hear the Kamehameha Cadet
band, and the neat soldierly battalion
Of the students will form an appro-
pirate head TO the line. The three
schools. Manual, Preparatory and
Girls School make total ~ 230 pu-
pills. The Manual and Preparatory will
be led In their singing by their band,
The girls sing separately and later In
the column. People would go great
wnvs inst to hear them,
