 Dr. Sheath addressed his people at the morning service upon The Value of the Eternal Life" He said the sig nifcance of the resurrection of Jesus lies in the face of our immortality.
 We all want to live again. Therefore the eternal life must be an infinitely better life than the present one. This Is legitimate inference from evolution and 1t is the clear declaration of thu Bible. Jesus and the apostles empha' sized the truth that loyalty to the eter nal life was rational and important | Lay up for yourselves treasures fl heaven. Set your mind upon thing' above, We can be loyal to the eterna by cultlvating the thought that we ar' immortal We are of the timeless state
 We should also in the name and spiri of Christ live the life of service fo others. That Is we should follow tn, unselfsh course. which means the eter nal life begun here.

FINE EXHIBITION
OF MOVING PICTURES

Bonine's pictures, shown at the
Opera House last night, were the best
of his series-interesting in theme,
beautiful in the perfection of their
Photographic art, the latter deity
touched now and then by the painter s
brush. Despite a rainy evening, near
~ every seat was occupied. A local
orchestra supplied music.
The program opened with scenes
during feet week-marching white col
umns, the decoration of the sailor boys
with leis. coaling the big ships and
the passage of some of the fighting
machines out of the harbor on their
way to sea. These pictures were clear
and fine and were shown with but
slight vibration AS extra numbers on
the program were a ear ride in CeylOn
and a ballet dance, the latter of
which gave some of the venerable spec
tators in the audience their first
glimpse of the evils of the stage.
Scenes about Waikiki Beach were ia
miliar and entieing, and there were
good comic pictures of natives eating
poi and fish, and an old wahine smok-
ing her pipe. The Aloha Temple
Shriners paraded once again through
Honolulu streets, and there was a
most impressive series of views of
Prince Dayid's funeral. The program
closed with very faithful pictures of
the volcano trip, showing lava in mo-
tion by day and night. There were
also some vivid scenes in color of
fireworks.
