Jewish people celebrated the last day
of the week as their religious festival

the day sacred to the sun as theirs.
But the followers of Christ could not

THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH.
Simple but Impressive Services by
Rev. ]. c. Hay.

The Easter services at the Christian
Church were simple and unostenta-
tious according to the tenets OF the
church. Rev. J. c. Hay preached on
the Resurrection, saying in part:
The resurrection of Jesus, the Christ,
from the dead is a historic fact az real
as the assassination OF julius Caesar
the advent of Magma Charta, the dis
covery of America by Columbus, the
landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth
Rock, or the Declaration OF Independ-
ence at Philadelphia. The history OF
Europe in this century cannot be ex-
planned without Wellington's victory
at Waterloo and the history of all
these past nineteen centuries cannot be
explained without the victory over
death and the grave of Jesus Christ al
Jerusalem. Christian faith is based
upon n magnificent array of historic
events. Central to this assemblage of
occurrences is the resurrection of
Christ From the broad field of Chris
tian thought upon this subject some
instructive observations are herewith
presented.
The facts in regard 10 the propaga-
ton of Christianity are as well settled
as any other facts in history. II had
its origin with Jesus OF Nazareth. He
was a real historical parsonage. II was
propagated mainly by very humble
men. 1t had no armies. no military
leaders. Its successes were not the

Memories of Easter in Honolulu's
churches will linger long in the hearts
of Christian people. A peaceful day, a
benign sky and nature fresh from the
showers OF the night, were blessings
added to the beauties of affairs and
chancels decked in palms and lilies,
and the charm of rare voices chanting
praises OF a beneficent God. Never
were the sacred edifices of the city so
thronged. At most OF them worship
pers filled the seats and aisles, while
late-comers stood in the vestibules. At
some lines extended even into the
street.
The streets were thronged Just be-
fore and after services with well-dress-
ed ladies and gentlemen. Gay gowns
were many as BETTING the glad sea-
son. Men donned new clothes and Ho-
nolulu's avenues were brilliant
scene. At almost all the churches spe-
cial musical programs heightened the
religious interest, and excellent SER
mons on Resurrection themes had
hearers profoundly impressed by the
message of the day.

FRIDAY, OCTOBER u, 1900.

As if the despised Boer had not given
England surfeit of 'humble.pie," here
comes one of her foremost writers. DIR.
A. Conan Doyle. who was an army sur
geon of long experience before he took
up the pen of the novelist and who dur
ing six months of the present war in
South Africa resumed his old position
with the hospital corps-here comes this
man of experience whose opinion bears
the stamp of authority and tells England
learn the art of warfare. DR.. Doyle has
lust issued a volume entitled The Great
Boer War" in which he embodies his OBJ
servations on many of the most impor-
tant battle fields of the present war. In
summing up, he comedies everything to
the Beers as to equipment, classification
of troops and field strategy. and declares
that "Boer tactics with British courage
would make a combination which would
carry everything before it," He wants
England to arm her infantry and cavalry
as the Beers are armed-With rifles only
to drill them in the art of hunting cover;
to train them as dead shots; to teach
them to make Boer trenches-to adopt
the whole system of this "half-ciylized,
Ignorant" "retrogressive" people for
whom the British were Enabled to find
words to express their contempt one short
year ago. 1t does seem as If the wound
to British pride was sore enough without
rubbing this salt into it.

CITY Man and Country Paper.

The homing instinct in the blood is
felt by hard-headed, shrewd ana prac-
teal men. engaged in great towns, and
apparently free from inconvenient senti-
ment. Yet, though they scan their
newspapers with keen and eager relish.
they throw them aside when read, while
some little sheet, not particularly well
printed and put together as if jumbled
In scrar-basket, is slipped into the
pocket and carried home. This is the
country paper published up-country, and
filled with intimate personal details, the
pleasant and kindly neighborhOod gossip
which goes on at the postotllce and
around the station when the train comes
in. Here are familiar names; the story
of life In a farming community related
with minute care; the gongs and COM
ings of kindred and acquaintance the
sales, the purchases, the casualties, the
changes, all chronicled without much art
or skill, but with closest and most salts
factory realism.
The man may be millionaire several
times over, but he was once boy on the
farm, and he will be a subscriber to the
little country paper as long as he lives.
