Friends and admirers of the late
| Henry Waterhouse paid generous trib-
ute to his memory at the Y. M. C. A.
| rooms yesterday afternoon. The memo
rial services was in charge of w. w.
Hall, lifelong friend of the deceased.
and Mr.. Waterhouse was held up as an
example for young and old to follow.
After brief song service, II. II. Trent
opened the service with prayer.
w. w. Hall paid glowing tribute
to the deceased He said that Mr.. Wa
terhouse had not been born I'm the is
lands, but came here in the early ffties
and he had lived side by side with him
for fifty years. In the early days there
were fewer foreign families and the
boys were brought up as brothers, so
he came to know Mr.. Waterhouse inti-
mately. Mr.. Hall spoke of the splendid
work done by Mr.. Waterhouse, of his
Christian bearing, his gentleness and
honesty He spoke also of his love for
the Hawaiians, his intimate knowledge
OF their language and his work among
them, paying a high tribute to the
character of the deceased.
w. G. Weldon said he esteemed It
known as friend of Mr.. Waterhouse
He had been met by him thirty-nine
years ago upon landing at Honolulu and
for three and a half years was domicil-
ed with the Waterhouse family, so that
they were brought up almost as BROTH
ers. He spoke of the great help and
advice Mr.. Waterhouse was always
ready to give to others and said: His
Christian life and bearing was always
uniform; when Henry Waterhouse died
a noble man passed away, but he left
behind "A legacy which must be envied
by every young man in the community
and which will be a stimulus for all of
us and n model to copy and pattern aft
err"
Captain Bray spoke also of the kind
ly aid Mr.. Waterhouse always eXtend-
ed to everyone and told of the ready
he had received when he de-
sired to leave the sea and take employ
ment in Honolulu. Robert Law said
what impressed him was not so much
the mans knowledge of the Hawaiian
language as his command of English.
He said that so perfect was his Ian
guage and his enunciation that he
might have been professor in En-
glsh. His culture, refinement, and the
gentle, loving manner also impressed
him.
Rev. G. l.. Pearson spoke of how Mr..
had entered into the bur-
dens of the church and helped to clear
his path of difficulties. He illustrated
the scriptural saying: Bear one an
others burdens" The secret of his hap
py life, Mr. Pearson said was found in
the fact that Christ was in him, he
was thorough Christian. Secretary
II. c. Brown said that Mr.. Warehouse
had impressed him as the kind of a man
an English nobleman should be; he was
helpful and sincere and cheerful always.
He was always hospitable and often
invited young men-perfect strangers
who had no place to spend Christmas
Or Thanksgiving-to his own house.
Rev. David Al said Mr.. Waterhouse
was a real Christian, he had taught at
Sunday school and his adj
vice was always eagerly sought and fol-
lowed. G. j. Day said Mr.. Waterhouse
had been always the same; quiet, I'M
assuming and unobtruslve. No one
ever felt afraid in his presence.
X. II. Trent said he had known him
N a business way and told of how Mr..
had quietly gone about to
help others. He said that Mr.. Water
house did not believe in memorial SER
vices but while he was alive often sent
etters of praise and encouragement to
hose who might be discouraged. Theo.
Richards, John Martin and others also
paid a tribute to the deceased.
