Rt. Rev. Alfred Willis. d. d., Bishop
of Honolulu, brought up the rear.
The body moved slowly up the main
aisleway, dividing at the bier The
choir boys passed on to the choir bal
cony, while the Bishop and clergy took
up their positions on the platform,
where they were Joined by Rev. "A. H.
Parker, Of Kawaishao church.
The choir balcony held two other
choirs beside the surplced body. those
Of ST. Andrews Priory and the Kawa-
iahao church.
After the arrival of the Bishop OF
Honolulu, the service opened with an
organ selection, In Memoriam." This
was written for and played by Wray

was in 1887 and the piece has never
been used since that time until yester.
day.
Following this came the reading OF
Scripture lessons by the Bishop. These
verses were among those repeated:
] am the resurrection and the life
saith the Lord: he that beiieyeth in me
though he were dead, yet shall he live:
and whosoever liveth and belieyeth In
me shall never die. 81. John xi. 25, 26.
| ] know that my Redeemer liveth, and
that he shall stand at the latter day
upon the cart y And though after my
skin worms destroy this body, yet in
my flesh shall see God: whom | shall
see for myself, and mine eyes shall be-
hold, and not another. job xix. 25, &c,
27.
We brought nothing into this world
and II Is certain We can carry nothing
out. The Lord gave, and the Lord hath
taken away; blessed he the Name OF
The Lord, Tim. vi. 7. JOB. I. q.
The 81. Andrews surpliced choir
then chanted the XXXix Psalm.
The Kawaiahao church choir sang
sweetly in Hawaiian, Brief Life Is
Here Our Portion" The twenty-third
Psalm was then sung by the st. An
drew's Priory girls.
The Bishop read the lesson, at the
conclusion OF which the St. Andrews S
Priory girls chanted the xiii Psalm,
the favOrite of Kaiulani.
Rev. II. II. Parker gave his address
in Hawaiian. The following Is a sub
stantial translation OF his remarks:
The late Princess Kalulani was
greatly beloved and respected by
all who knew her. Her personal
attractions were many and not
able. She had pleasant face,
L sympathetic voice and was grac-
lous TO all. The attributes and
qualities OF mind were rich, she
having hann ham uTith lnA
mentality and having had the best
advantages for the cultivation OF
the mind. She was a scholar OF
many accomplishments. was a mu-
sician, q painter and a most en-
tertaining conyersationalist in sew
eral languages. She dearly loved
all her own people and was friend
ly 10 the worthy foreigners.
Death Is no respector OF persons.
II cuts the most sacred ties. 1t
pays no heed TO station or age.
Princess Kaiulani mad her full
measure OF sorrow. She was left
motherless at a tender age. She
|. was removed to amongst strang-
temptation she always had high
hopes and splendid ambition with
relation To her career amongst her
people. Those hopes vanished all
at once like when the sunlight
seemingly leaves when black and
heavy cloud comes out OF the
mountains. She commanded the
highest respect by the attitude
which she assumed when these Sc
we're disappolntments came. but
II Is grand to think OF her as look
ing TO the future instead OF griey-
ing and idling over the past
want 10 add my flower TO her
wreath. the same as ! am sure does
every parent and every child In Ha-
wall mel, Love IL a flower trans
| planted from Heaven and all who
knew Kaiulani loved her,
There Is a lesson in the lie and
