THE GATHERING WITHIN
THE HOUSE or WORSHIP.
The interior OF Kawaiahao church
presented pretty much the same ap-
pearance as on Saturday. The decora-
tions were unaltered, the only changes
being In additional floral tributes.
While the crowds were gathering in
the yard and in the streets about the
church, there was considerable actiy-
ity inside on the part of those who
were making the preparations for the
services that were scheduled for
O'Clock. The floral offerings kept com
ing In until the last moment. There
were crowns OF lima. crosses OF carna-
tiOns, baskets OF yiolets and asters and
streamers OF male. These were placed
in position as fast as received.
The twelve kahili wayers, clothed
with their feather capes, never once
faltered in their work. The stiffness
and the regularity in which this was
done, aroused an unusual interest.
At few minutes past / o'clock the
native people grouped about the main
doorway OF Kawaiahao, were given ad-
mission TO the balcony. The rapidity
with which every available seat was
taken and the aisles and hallway be-
came coDgested. was wonderful. When
several hundred were let in, IL was
found necessary 10 check the crowd.
Hardly had the gallery been filled
when the invited guests began TO ar
rive. They were met by Maj. Geo c.
Potter, OF the Presidents staff, on the
landing OF the big steps leading to the
main entrance Of the church. They
were then turned over to the ushers
and led TO the front part OF the church

served The ushers included Edward

church was occupied. Fully fifteen
minutes before 2 o'clock nearly all had
arrived. Then Organist Wray Taylor
discoursed an organ prelude. During
this selection Governor 4. s. Cleghorn
and the mourning party arrived at the
main entrance and were escorted up the
main aisle 10 the seats reserved for
them. Then followed the Justices OF
the Supreme Court, dressed in their
dark robes. While the strains Of Near
er My God to Thee" were coming from
the organ, President and Mrs. Dole ar
rived. President Dole was attended by
his staff officer, Col. J. II. Soper
