held to be county item and not a Ter

WORLDS FAIR ITEM PASSES.
Fernandez continued to fight the
Worlds Fair item. seemingly believing
that II meant new expenditure of
$4,000 instead of simply the unex-
pended balance. There was a scatter
ing debate after which the Fernandez
motion to strike out was lost and the
section passed as in the bill,
WORK Is COMPLETED.
The administrative sections OF the
bill We're then read and passed with
slight changes, The only real fight
was upon that section which transfers
control OF the appropriations to the
Territorial Board of Control. Keiiiaoi

courts had dec AIRED the Board Illegal.

tion and a purse containing $3.50 in
gold. Mr.. All mentioned Mrs. Haalelea,

committee on presentations.
MIR. PARKER'S REPLY.
The Rev. H. H. Parker. in receiving
what he called this splendid manifesta-
tion of their esteem, spoke of how brief
the forty years seemed as he looked
back. He acknowledged the support he
had received from wise and good men
in that period, and the encouragement
found always in the loyal devotion of
the congregation. With deep feeling
he thanked them and invoked Gods
blessing upon them. After his remarks
in English he repeated the sentiments
in Hawaiian.
At the conclusion of his address he
was enwreathed with leis by the ladies
of the committee.
After dismission hymn the large
congregation was invited to a reception
with refreshments in the basement.

The REV. h. n. Parker Receives an Ovation
and Gifts on His Remarkable Anniversary
In the "Old Stone Church."
(From Wednesdays Daily.)

The Rev. o. p. Emerson spoke as
substitute for p. C. Jones, who was
unavoiadbly detained from the meet
ing. He began with a reference to the
proverb that a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country and
among his own kindred, which did not
have application to Mr.. Parker's posi-
tion as the pastor of that congregation
for forty years-though the speaker
thought Mr.. Parker was not born in
Hawaii but in the Marquesas. A ten
der allusion was made to the venerable
mother of the veteran minister sitting
up there in the old family home that
evening. The qualities of geniality,
literary culture and loyalty to gospel
truth, together with his early expert
ence as a Sunday school teacher, as
testified to by many who were familiar
with his career-including Mr.. Lono
who spoke in Hawaiian that evening
were cited as the secrets of Mr.. Par
ker's great power over the hearts of
the people as evidenced by his sue
cess as pastor.
MIR. CASTLES TRIBUTE.
William r. Castle thought he had
Deen asked TO speak, NOT 50 IluSh loi
himself, but on behalf of the old resi-
dents who had watched with appre-
citation the career of Mr.. Parker. Mr.
Castle alluded to the case of one who
had read his own obituary prematurely
published, hoping Mr.. Parker would
not be irjuriously affected by the eu-
logies that it vas their fond duty to
bestow upon him on that notable oc-
casion. 1t was interesting to note the
fact that the families of the first, sec
ond and third pastors of Kawaiahao
church were represented there that
evening-Bingham, Armstrong. Clark.
The speaker went on eloquently to
sketch the pastoral record of Mr.. Par
ker, with it's burdens. trials and
triumphs. He gave away secret in
telling a story to illustrate Mr.. Par
ker's modesty, of his escaping by the
earliest train from a mainland city
when he learned that an address was
going to be sought from him, as the
pastor of the first church in Homo
lulu, at some important convocation.
Mr.. Castle concluded by rendering to

Kawaiahao church was well filled
yesterday evening for the celebration
of the fortieth anniversary of the pas
torate of the Rev. Henry II. Parker
over the flock worshipping in that his
toric edifice-"The Old Stone Church"
A majority of the assembly consisted
of native Hawaiians, well known peo-
pie of the English-speaking churches in
the Evangelical Union being scattered
among them.
The decorations were beautifully
tasteful. Over the front of the great
organ was the legend in golden letters,
Forty years Kahu Aloha" upon pend
ant American and Hawaiian flags
drawn aside clear of the keyboard.
Hawaiian flags were draped over the
ornamental partitions fianking the or
gan. Large stands Of ferns and flow
ers were placed upon either end of the
organ loft railing, that itself being
draped from end to end with festoons
of flags and wreaths. The platform was
flower garden, its occupants being
almost hidden behind immense clusters
of flowers and potted plants.
Representative Jonah Kumalae pre-
sided and with him on the platform
were the active participants in the or
der of exercises, including of course the
veteran pastor of two score years in
cumbency. The chairman introduced
each item on the program with appro-
pirate remarks. 1t need not be said,
for any who are acquainted at all with
Kawaiahao church, that the singing
throughout was nothing short of mag
nticent. The heartiness with which
the congregation Joined voices to those
of the choir was inspiring.
Rev. S. w. Kekuewa, after the sing
ing of a hymn, offered the opening
prayer.
Frank X. Archer delivered an address
on the pastors life in Hawaiian, which
evoked subdued echoes of appreciation
together with gentle ripples of laughter.
f.. X. Lilikalani read number OF
letters of congratulation to Mr. Par
ker from town and country, and, in
terspersed with hymns, there We're ad-
dresses by the Rev. w. n. Lono and

John Adams
Last Fourth

John Adams was one of the most
vigorous supporters of the Declare.
tion of Independence, and when he
came to sign it, he exclaimed: Sur
vive or perish, | am for it," He did
not want to. escape from the conse-
quences of his act; he was willing to
go down with it, II go down it must.
To such man the anniversary of
the Declaration of Independence
meant something beyond the ordinary,
and he took part in everything that
was going on toward celebrating it,
like a plain citizen, even after he was
President of the United States and I'M.
til the day of his death. In a letter
to his sister he thus speaks of the
proper manner of celebrating the
great day:
1T ought to be commemorated as
day OF deliverance by solemn acts of
devotion to God Almighty. 1t ought to
be solemnized with pomp and parade.
with shows. games, sports, bells. bon.
fires and Nominations from one end
of this country to the other, from this
time forth forward foreyermore."
One might be amazed at this sort of
simple. unaffected patriotism, were il
not for the fact that all of the fathers
If the Republic possessed the same
sentiments Adams said he always
felt like marching about with an old
musket from sunrise to sunset on the
Fourth of July, and give vent to his
feelings by loud huzzas.
1t is related of his last days on
earth that not long before an APP
preaching celebration he was very i'll
with what proved to be his last sick
ness, when someone asked him for a
toast TO be given on the day. He re-
piled, Independence forever." When
the day came around he could NOT
leave his bed, and had apparently for,
gotten the anniversary. for, hearing
the bells and cannon, he asked what
day 1t was, and on being informed
that it was the Fourth of July, he
murmured distinctly. though with a
failing breath, Independence for
ever" and spoke no more. Before
evening he was dead.
