Bishop Willis would not travel in the
American ship, but will take his depar-

ing to Victoria and thence down to San
Francisco by rail. He summoned to his
| assistance the Rev. William Ault of
the church at Waikiki, VINO came up TO
| the city Friday and will act as the
chaplain to the Bishop during his alb
sence from the city.
| In the Cathedral yesterday morning

N MR.. wESTERvELTs SERMON.
II Rev. w. d. Westervelt gave his sec
Hond sermon on Christ, the Manifest
Man, at Kawaiahao Church Sunday
levening. He spoke as follows from the
1text: Matt 2S:1S) "All power is given
unto me in Heaven and in Earth" his
| theme being the Possession of Power:
| The Youths Companion tells the fol-
| lowing story: Two men, well dressed
and intelligent, were talking on a station
platform while waiting for train. A
man with pick and shovel on his Shout
der passed by on his way to work. The
elder man said to his friend:
! THAT man and / were schoolmates
He was not dull al books. He ought to
have made better condition for himself
1 in life"
What was the matter with him? Did
he drink"
| mo; he was a strong, healthy lad and
thought himself a man. When he was
! fifteen years old a man offered him a dol
lar a day. He left school and looked
| down upon the other boys because he
was earning mans wages. He has
never been able to rise above that first
idea that manhood consisted in being
able to do days work. A judge was
sorry for the boy and told him he was
making a mistake, and urged him to
! learn a trade.
| But the boy said: IF 1 do that 1 would
have to work three four years for
nothing. 1 am getting a mans wages
| now, because l am strong"
IF strength were ALL" said the Judge
my horses, which work for nothing but
| their food and a home, should have the
| highest wages. But I pay the man who
takes care Of them, and 1 pay more to
the men who make the shoes and the
harness and the machines with which
they work. Real power Is Of the mind
and heart rather than of the body"
But the boy believed that receiving
dollar day was more manly than get
ting an education which might help him
gain many dollars.
There are many people who misunder-
stand the elements Of real power. The
quiet kindly person who does not attempt
great things but touches other lives only
as opportunity affords, has by far the
greatest part Of the use Of the powers
which Is molding the earth into the form
designed by the Divine Architect. Fran
els Murphy, who Is now trying to help
advance right-doing In these Islands, de-
rives most of his power fom his honest
love for the man who Is under the infiu-
ence of temptation.
Power Is mysterious thing. A GER

connected with 1t. Strength, ability, dig
nifty, greatness, are part of the posses
sions Of power. and vary as power itself
varies. There is no possible manhood
separate from this all pervading quality
of governed force. The highest manhood
in certain directions is in the man who
has the most might or strength under
his control. When Carlyle was picturing
| hero he called him king" deriving
| the word from 'konig," and tracing this
back to the old word of the north of
Europe. can" 1t Is the man who 'can"
that becomes king. 1t is the "hero" who
has displayed most marked ability, is
lifted upon the battle-shields of his com
rades and borne in triumph, king, =
among his fellows.
The quiet and yet wonderful victories
of the Christ, marking His ability to do
all that man can be required to do; HIS
manifestation of His possession of power,
has made a multitude that no man can
number lift him upon their shields OF
