EARNEST SERMONS BY
EVANGELIST JONES
The Judgment Was Theme
of Night Discussion.

An earnest and thoroughly atten-
tive audience listened to the sermon
of Rev. Robert Jones at the taber-
nacle yesterday morning. After the
usual song service, the evangelist
read for the lesson of the morning
the sixteenth Psalm His theme was
The Path of Life"
The way had been called the narrow
way, said the speaker, and also
straight. 1t had also been referred to
as the old way To love the good and
hate the bad was one of the charac-
teristics of those who travel the way
of life
1t was strange how the story of the
Cross thrilled, observed the speaker.
Eloquence was inspiring and other
lessons from the Bible were powerful
but the simple story of the Cross sur
passed them ALL
In commenting on the fact that it
was the way everlasting, the speaker
said that worldly roads have an end.
The man who was intent on money
getting would sometime write his last
check, the society woman would grow
old and wrinkled, the gambler would
pick up his last card and his pleas
ures be at an end But the Christians
way was everlasting.
Of this way Jesus Christ was the
gate, and the gate was always open
to all who desired life and salvation.
Not only is the way pointed out, but
the Holy Spirit sent along to show the
way more clearly. Tiny presence Is
fullness of JOY" quoted the Evangel-
ist. The pleasures of the Christian
were the pleasures which endured.
The speaker did not deny the momen-
tary pleasures of sin, but said they
were at the expense of drafts on life.
These momentary pleasures were not
to be compared with the pleasures
forevermore
The Christian ought to be the hap
piest of mortals. Long faces were
out of place, and never lead
others to God Christianity was in
tended to fill life with sunshine.
OF the Everlasting City the speaker
discOursed eloquently. No sin, no
wrinkles, no gray heads, no jails, no
crimes, no gallows, no coffins, no
griefs were to be found there But
it was a place where everybody was
happy. BLESS God for the dream of
that city, the eternal heritage of the
saints exclaimed Mr.. Jones. 81
want to go there, | expect to go there
and l mean to go there. But some of
you will never go there unless you
start You can never get there un-
less you start
There could never be any doubt
among those who had started, con-
tinued the speaker. All who were on
the way knew it. The person who
started on a journey knew which way
he was going.
At the close an invitation was made
to all who had started on the road to
Heaven and the way of life to come
forward and give their hand to the
Evangelist Many answered the ap-
peal.

RETURNS TO THE CITY
AFTER REST OF MONTH

Rev James B. Lawrence, rector of
Calvary church, returned to Ameri-
Gus yesterday after having served
All Saints church in Atlanta during
the current month in the absence of
the rector there. While in charge of
the Atlanta church Mr. Lawrence
spent much of the time at the home
of his mother in Marietta, thus rem
dering his visit doubly pleasant. Mr..
Lawrence will conduct the usual
prayer service at Calvary tonight.

HE CARRIED A HORN
But FAILED TO BLOW

An innocent, trusting cit attending
the ball game yesterday carried be-
meath the folds of his toga a large
brass horn with which he proposed to
make much noise when Americus had
won the game. 1t was sad trip COM
ing back, with the untooted toots
corked up in the muzzle of that big
brass noise maker, and anyone de-
string to buy horn can get a real
bargain in this one

MATSON BOATS NOT
COMMON CARRIERS

The alleged agreement between the
Inter-Island S. N. Co. and the Matson
Navigation Co. that the latter will
not carry local passengers for hire
between Hilo and Honolulu, has
aroused more or less ire among peo-
pie who have occasion to travel be-
tween the two ports when the Lur-
line is in Hawaiian waters. Whether
there is any agreement or not, it
seems to be a fact that the Matson
people refuse to pose as common car
riers between the Island ports.
Nevertheless the Lurline brought
up a large number of Honolulu peo-
pie on her last trip from the capital;
all of them non-paying it is under
stood, but who had a sufficient stand
in to get a free excursion, not great
ly to the pleasure of the officers nor
of the stewards and walters. A num-
her of Htlu people tried to get pas
sage on her return trip to Honolulu.
but only those going to the coast
were able to do So
Attorney G. S. Smith, who vainly
attempted to engage passage. has
stated that he will bring an action for
damages against the company, either
in the Territorial courts, or in admir-
atty by libeling the vessel before she
leaves Honolulu for the Coast The
Matson Company claims not to be a
common carrier as between Island
ports, and so not a violator Of the
Federal laws against combinations in
restraint of trade, even though their
arrangements with the Inter-Island
people may be as stated above.-Hilo

ELECTRIC STORM
WAS GENERAL

HILO, September Ever since last
Saturday the Hawaiian Islands seem
to have been the center of a severe
electric storm. On Saturday evening
a bright display of sheet lightning was
visible in Hilo. OF the coast of Maui,
on the same night, Purser KILLING re-
ported the occurrence of one of the
most severe electric storms he had ever
seen, but the CIaudineif ran out of it.
The close and sultry atmosphere
here on Sunday and Monday indicated
the existence of a storm somewhere.
While the wind was blowing in Hilo
from east to south yesterday, there
was a strong northwest wind at Laupa-
hoehoe with heavy sea, so that the,
Claudine was unable to work there and
waited in this port for mail till $3.50
o'clock last evening.
The heavy rain last night has some
what cooled the local atmosphere, but
the electricity can be heard clicking
on the wires in the local telephone Of
flee. From the other side of this ISL
and the wireless operator, Albert Todd,
reports plenty of lightning. He has
been able to communicate with La
haina all right, but the center of the
disturbance now seems to be at or
near Oahu, for it is extremely diff
cult to keep in touch with the operator
at Barber's Point.
1t has been suggested that the cruis-
er fleet is approaching Honolulu and
monopolizing the wireless, but this
will not account for the cracking on
the wires in the Hilo Office, caused by
lightning, nor for. similar disturbance
at Puako.
While some wireless news is availa-
BILE, the supply is not up to the guam
tity usually received.

PERFORMERS !.
IN POLICE RING

Hugh Burroughs and Carmellitta
Roman were the star actors in police
jurisdiction today, not that they were
concerned at all, one with the other, in
the alleged vagrancy for the former
and assault for the latter, but there
was nothing but their cases of i'm.
portance.
Burroughs seems to have been hit
ting the wet places too ardently and is
all of a trouble to his finger tips. He
was up before for drink and certain
other rather embarrassing things and
was granted ten days to show that he
could behave if he wanted to, but he
failed to report as he promised and
Sheriff Iaukea himself caused his ar
rest.
Carmellitta was yesterday arrested
for striking a chap in the face She
said he interfered with her when she
was going to get her washing out of
soak, so she soaked him and gets 20
days for his pains.

MAUNA KEA FULL
FROM BIC ISLE

Flagship Mauna Kea of the Inter-
Island fleet this morning arrived with
one hundred and seventy-one passen-
gers in her cabin, a monster crowd for
the Hilo liner.
Many of the passengers were girls
and boys coming to Honolulu to attend
school, while a number were visitors
from Hawaii and Maui to get a view
of the Pacific fleet now in this port.
Then there were tourists returning
from the volcano and Honolulu folks
coming home.

returned from the big island and Nov

OPEN WIRELESS GABLE" LINE.

Clifden, Ireland, Feb. 1.-The
Marconi transatlantic wireless sys-
tenn was opened to the public for
the transmission of private mes
sages today. The service at present
is between London and Montreal
only, by way of this place and Pold-
hu, Cornwall, on the eastern shore
OF the Atlantic, and Glaze Bay, n.
s., on the western shore. Montreal
was chosen as the American termi-
nus, because Canada has subsidized
the wireless system to the extent of
$4,000.
Heretofore the wireless transat-
lantic system has been used only for
press messages. The rate on private
messages between London and other
points in England, Ireland, Mon
trlal and other Canadian cities will
be only - cents a word, or less
than half the rate charged by the
cable companies. No attempts will
be made at present to lay private
wires to the wireless terminals.

PROFIT OF EXPERIENCE.

We would urge upon our city the
