WAlllAWA, Kauai. March %
The different Sabbath school classes
of all south and west Kauai met YES
terday at the llanapepe Protestant
Church and rendered what was unan
imously pronounced one of the most
successful programs of the kind ever
held on the Garden Island. The lit
tie church could hold about one-third
of the gathering, there being fully
four hundred people who came. some
to participate in the examinations
and others to see and listen to the
fine exhibition.
There were classes from Lihue.
koloa, Wahiawa, IIanapepe. Waimea
and kekaha, and from these there
were picked sub-classes that looked
as II they were purposely gotten up
TO capture honors. But 1t happened
this time that the leaders of the diff
ferent classes expected sharp compe-
tition and had started early to prac-
tice, thus rendering the award of
TO the shrewdest critics.
Mrs. Thos. onokea, who is a NOV
ing spirit in these good doings. had |
everything arranged so that all were |
ON hand to start promptly. An old
timer passed the remark that only q |
few years ago they came on old nags
ana mule wagons but now Il takes
an automobile. The Waimea autos
did rushing business. Mr.. Rice's
Dusses brought In the Lihue classes
and the Kauai Railroad Co. ran a
special train for the Koloa, Wahi-
ava groups. W. Ellis. superintend-
ent for west Kauai, was presiding
officer; Judge Kapahee acted as an
nouncer, and W. A. Wright as secrc-
tary. The recitations were prompt:
the singing excellent. Such was the
general enthusiasm that every class
brought down the house with uproar-
ing applause. During the close of
the liberal outpouring of ScripturaI
FOOD, Mrs. Onokea had, with the help
oil charitable friends, prepared well
laden table with viands more elabor-
ate than there were mouths to eat.
A fat bullock had been gracIously
donated by Francis Gay and this
helped to make an abundance of food
for the inner-man.
II was quite late in the afternoon
before the last class finished. Mr..
Ellis wanted such gentlemen as Mes
'rs. Gay, Brodie, and Kinney to pass
remarks, but the loaded tables were |
100 enticing, and before anyone knew s
L all had made their exit to partake {
IF the delicious dishes. So the would c
De speakers had to nod to one anoth- I
'r and follow suit. G
Everybody went home satisfied 6
With having been TO one of the most {
successful Sabbath School conven-
ions, judged from all points of view. c
friends met friends, relatives their e
iinsmen, politicians their pros and I
'ons, and all had It out good-natured 6
y and mutually to the profit of all. b
Great credit is due Mr.. Ellis for \
he interest shown In the good pro-
ram, and much praise is due his
lister, Mrs. Onokea, for the prepare
ion for the comfort of the visitors r
nd the high spirit maintained |
throughout the renditions.
