interest. In a sense they were a part
Of the services and exercises of the
Convocation. 1t has been a disappoint-
ment both to Bishop Restarick and to
the church generally that Rev. A. S.
Lloyd, D. D., Secretary of the Board
of Missions who passed through here
on the Korea, was not able to stop
over as he had expected, and as had
been planned. It was also disap-
pointment that Bishop MeKim, the
Bishop of Toxic, had not been able
TO come.
1t has been source Of great pleas
ere anu SATISFACTION tnat Inc Rev.
Reese f. Alsop, WHO was tne COIN
panion of DR.. Lloyd on his tour of
the church missions, has been here The
services at the Cathedral began with
an early communion, with Canon Ault
of Waikiki as the celebrant. At tile
Hawaiian service, whicn was Target,
attended, Bishop Restarick was the
preacher.
The IL o'clock service was commu-
MON service, Bishop Restarick was the
eelebrant, Canon Ault the Epistoler AMI
Canon Macintosh the Gospeller. Rev.
Alsop preached the sermon.
His text was from the Acts of the
Apostles describing the scattering
abroad of the Christians from Jerusa-
lem following the persecution under
Saul of Tarsus begun by the martyrdom
of Stephen. He particularly dwelt up
on the statement that everywhere these
Christians went they preached the Cos
pei The lesson he sought to impress
was that this teaching was not alone
nor principally preaching by word, but
the infinitely more effective preaching
of the Christian life. Of the effective
ness of this he gave many interesting
examples, among them illustrations
from the life of General S. G. Arm
strong, whose early life was largely
spent in the immediate vicinity of the
place where he was speaking.
