An interesting Event
Of Episcopal
Church.

Grated to the service of God yester-
day morning at IL o'clock under the
/ impressive rites of the Episcopal
| church The pretty little chapel,
/ Iocat ted in the heart of the Hawaiian
| and Oriental section of Palama, is a
worthy monument to the energy of
Bishop Restarick and to the philan-
thropy of Mr. Proctor of Cincinnati,
! whose monetary gifts made not only
the chapel. but St Elizabeth's House
adjoining, possible.
The chapel was recently erected in
King street and Pua lane, near the
credit to the city, and seems certain
to be a factor for religious influence
among the numerous population of Pa
lama.
The services We're attended by
large number of communicates of st.
Andrews Cathedral, ST. Clements
church and St. Peters chapel, the in
terror of the edifice being filed. The
vested choir of St Andrews Cathedral
was present, Gerard Barton at the or
gan. The altar was decorated with
Easter lilies. The service throughout
was impressive.

as it marched from Ste Elizabeth's
House to the front entrance of the
ID
Potwine pastor of the church, Rev. D.
Douglas Wallace, Rev. w. H. Fenton-
Smith, Canon Ault, Canon Macintosh
and Rev Kong Yin Tet. At the
front portal the Bishop knocked three
times and the door was opened unto
him. Marching to the chancel the deed
of the church was presented him. This
was read in English by Henry Smith,
and translated into Hawaiian by Canon
Macintosh and into Chinese by Rev.
Kong Ying Tet.
Edmund Stiles, the registrar, read
the sentence of consecra ton, following
which addresses were made by the
Bishop, who paid special tribute to the
philanthrophy of Mr.. Proctor and to
the work done by Deaconess Drant
and Deaconess Sands, the latter
being now in charge of the work. Ad-
dresses We're also made by Canon Mac

Paper read by Deaconess Sands at
the annual meeting of the Womens
Auxiliary OF the Protestant Episcopal
Missionary District of Honolulu
Having so recently come into the
work here, feel that 1 can not do my
subject the justice it demands, and L
trust you will bear with me wherein
1 fail to do so. I could not tell you,
if I should try. nor is it at all neces-
sary, for the results speak for them
selves, what a wonderful work Dea-
coness Drant has built up here, by her
beautiful efforts and her unseIfsh,
faithful. heroic. life. We can only re-
greet deeply that she should have been
compelled to close her labors, just as
they were coming to such rare fruition.
I take it from the subject given me-
that 1 am to tell you what work is
being done among women, and growing
womanhood, here at St. Elizabeth's.
AT the present time. ii is greatly among
the latter. While we hope. later. to
bring the embryo branch of the w. A.
at st. E. to larger growth, to form
mothers meetings among both Hawai-
ians and Chinese. and to have classes
that lies in the-we trust near
future Our work as yet is largely
among the girls the growing women.

of the G.. F. S. meets. This is cared
for by three associates. and has a roll ]
