teo and O. H. Gulick and rousing
praise meeting whereat Lono, Kapu.
Desha, Scudder and Kauai's silver
tongued Orator, Hon. w. H. Rice, kept
the ball rolling till late hour, the story
of great sunday came to an end.
Monday mornings session proved to
be the
HOLY OF HOLES.
Here Judge Kahele, Mrs. w. H. Rice,
Mrs A. S. Wilcox and Treas. Theodore
Richards opened the door into the secret
chamber of the home-its religious life
and for two hours and half the dele
gates lived over again the blessed ex-
periences of childhood. No better lead
er for this task could be desired than
the Lihue judge with his Christian her
itage and his ripe experience. Rev. ).
Kali seconded him well.
No one present will ever be able to
blot from memory the lmpasslOned ap-
peal of Mrs Rice to the assembled moth
ers There were a few drv eyes among
them and more than one will date a new
determination to be true to her great
privilege and sacred responsibility from
that solemn hour. OF Mrs. Wilcox's
sweet suggestive paper it is enough to
say that it elected an immediate vote
to publish it entirely in the Garden ISL
and" In his inimitable style and under
Mr. Desha' unrivaled Interpretation Mr..
Richards pressed home to every father
who heard him the necessity for a pure
life, for gallantry to his wife and for
the spirit of companionship with his boys
and girls both in their sports and studies.
Then step by step he led them up into
the higher realm of showing how the
father could be priest in his home, re-
vealing God in his own purity and rec
titude.
No one attending this remarkable
gathering has been able to escape the
blessing of coming face to face with
his worst self and realizing its terrible
power nor can any one return home
without the glorious conviction that
with Gods help. he has the power sue
cessfully to down the beast in him and
enthrone the man. From first to last 1t
has been a meeting of rare effectiveness
and must mean much to all the
churches.
