Kew. lnOuldS n. uOltSSC0 lAO
of Kawaiahao Church last |
evening on the Protestant missionary |
and school work now being done in |
Spain and the hardships which were I'M |
dergone in the past by those who en-
braced the new faith as against Jesuit |
ism Mr.. Gulick's address was punctu- !
ated by anecdotes and stories of life in
sunny Spain as he had personally expe- !
rienced them during his sojourn in the /,
Peninsula in the early sos.
He stated that of late the Jesuits who
were banished to France some years ago
are fiocking back to Spain, and. are
erecting their monasteries and converts
with as much zeal as they have display
ed in past centuries. This recent inva-
sion has caused the people to rise up al
most in arms, and at present Spain is
standing on the verge of a volcano
which may burst forth any day. 1t will
be a religious war and the Protestant
world says DR.. Gulick, is in hopes it
will be an awakening of the nation TO
its new responsibilities The rising CT
the people is against the oppression of
| the priests and little by little Spantards
are beginning to accept the Gospel and
the Bible as interpreted by the Protes-
! tants.
As an instance of how the Jesuits are
| being looked upon even by Spain's Cati =
Ole officials, Mr.. Gulick related the in
cident of a young girl who was taken
away from her mother and buried with
! in the walls of a convent. She was TAX
en- against her will and kept there wick
! eddy. The mother demanded her child
and the officials at first decided against
i her. Later they decided against the
priests, who were ordered TO deliver the
girl into her mothers keeping, which
was done. In former years such a thing
as protesting against the wishes and de-
sires of the Church of Spain was I'M
thought of. There is tendency among
the people to cry out against the clergy
and they are demanding a more liberal
religious movement.
The work of teaching the girls of the
school established by Thomas Gulick' S
brother has prospered well that they
are now studying the Bible in the day
schools. He says the children have mar
velous memories and are able to commit
to memory an immense amount of Scrip
ture.
/ Gifts of money from the Hawaiian ISL
ands within the last year to the schools
now under the charge of Mr.. Gulick' s
brother have amounted to more than
$4,000, $4,000 of which was subscribed by
a gentleman born in the Islands. Ka-
waiahao Church also sent a large sum
Of money for the schools support.
AT METHODIST CHURCH.
DR.. NJ, c. Harris of San Francisco
preached at the. Methodist Episcopal
. Church yesterday morning. His subject
| was THE Way of Christ's Consolation
= For a text he took Christ's consoling
j.. hearts be troubled" Christ consoled the
disciples first by melting faith in God
the Father and in Himself. Confidence
in friend to whom one can bring his
, sorrow and care is one of the great
! sources of consolation. God is faithful
4 He never disappoints. He bears the
. cares and burdens of those who come
4 to him. Come unto me-" says Christ
and I will give you rest'-rest in sym
" pathy and, fellowship and loving confess
sion.
Secondly, Christ consoles by showing
to the disciple somewhat of the circum-
stances and nature of the world to come
= One can bear with patience and courage
the disappointments and ills of life while
= he looks away from the things that are
\ temporal to those which are eternal
The heavenly life begins here and now
Heaven is a large place. We are now in
view of the mansions; others are before
US Visions of the eternal scene en-
courage men to trust and hope and beal
on till death.
Thirdly, Christ consoles by impartine
strength and courage TO the human
> heart. He fortities the soul against dan
ger. He inspires to duty He cheer:
e and inspirits in the time of dismay. He
: imparts sense OF security to the sou
q that waits on him which ehables one Il
6 rest in peace and hope on sea or land
o in storm or calm-anywhere and every
: where, and at all times he can sing
- 'Alrs well with my soul
