WILL MEET ON PUNCHBONL
MORMONS TO HOLD INTERESTING
CEREMONIES TODAY.
Mr.. Cannon VIII Probably Deliver a
Few Remarks at the Crater-Four
Meetings Today.

on this the final day of the Mormon
semi-Centennial jubilee celebration
there will be no less than four different
meetings held, including one in the
evening. The most interesting will be
that on the summit of PunchbOwl at
O o'clock this afternoon. When Mr.. Can
non and the rest of his party of mis-
sionaries reached here they erected a
rude monument near PunChbowl and
dedicated the islands to the work
of the Lord. Although that pile of
stone hastily and roughly thrown to-
gether has long since been broken and
scattered to the four parts of the Ha-
waiian compass, the principle which 1T
represented has outlived both time and
opposition and now stands as one of the
most successful of the various missions
established in the islands.
Mr.. Cannon will probably deliver
few remarks upon the significance of
the occasion and few hymns will also
be sung. 1t is expected that large
crowd will be present as the ceremonies
brief as ii is intended to make them,
will be the most interesting that are
upon the programme of the celebration.
The people were late this morning ar
irving at the Orpheum. How Firm A
Foundation was sung by the congrega-
ton and combined choirs after which
Mr.. Kamaiai delivered the opening
prayer.
Charles G. Bush was to have delivered
a speech introducing the visitors from
Utah but the committee decided that
the party was too well known to re-
quiree this formal introduction, so in
stead w. w. Cluff the president of the
Summit Stake of Zion, was introduced
and made a few remarks. This is his
fourth visit to the Hawaiian Islands
and he referred to his previous journeys
to Honolulu. He was one of the first
to come after the original Cannon party
and take up the work here. He spoke
in the native language and delivered a
sermon upon the blessings which had
come to those who had accepted the
teachings of the church.
"Watchman" was sung by the fol-
lowing seXtette the selection being
rendered with more than usual ability,
NJ. X. Makekau, Charles Broad, Clar-
ence Kinney, Dan Kalauawa. Abraham

Georpo @. Cannon spoke briefly in the
native language and Edmund p. Ell
bridge who was one of the Mormon
pioneers to accompany Brigham
Youngs party to Utah in 1S47 was in
troduced and spoke of the hardships
which the party had undergone upon
that trip. Come, Merry Birds OF
