here too, while il is to be regretted
that but comparatively few besides the
pupils OF the schools can get near to

kawaiahao must be largely for the
Sunday schools alone, while the crowds
OF spectators can be accommodated in
the square.

band, and the neat soldierly battalion
OF the students will form an appro-

Girls School, make total of 230 pu-
plis. The Manual and Preparatory will
be led in their singing by their band.
The girls sing separately and later in

pairing new song and there will be in
the neighborhood of $50 to sing it. no
doubt. This is about the number of
the Methodist body. Besides their own

twos and threes out into the hands of
different ones to decorate and supply

The Chinese contingent is sure of a

| boys from the boarding school in

able regret that the Chinese do not
care to sing their own peculiar music

appearing strange. At all events they
will sing. and their singing will be
| hearty and an honor to the day.

This is the general rally song COM
posed for the occasion by p H. Dodge.
The music is Hawaii Ponoi:
Hawaii's land is fair.
Rich are the gifts we share.
This is our earnest prayer
o Lord of Light
That as noble band
We may join heart and hand
Till all Hawaii's land
Stands for the right.
Though all our days be bright
What is our earthly might?
There is no other light
| Like that above.
! Lord of the isles and sea,
| Grant lis the victory
That every heart may be
| Strong in Thy love.
Joyously let Us sing,
Loud may the echoes ring.
Homeland and everything
For Christ We claim
In God is our success,
Lord all thy people bless,
Clothe us with righteousness
/ Worthy Thy name.
