they could be
Because OF a hole in his memory.

Bat he met a man with a musical

And his mothers words through that

When he rose to recite he was all in

Every word in that lesson had fallen

Every thought vas clearly presented
and illustrated By objects and Incl
dents familiar TO all.
One head of his sermon was that
we ought sometimes 10 30 out Of Our
way TO confess Christ He said: II
must go out OF my way to confess
Him this morning" Then he told
IL OF Prince AIbers's chsld-llke faith
IN Jesus In that faith he lived and
died. Yet a papIstieai inscription
was then being chIseled on his monu-
ment. II the Prince knew IL he
would turn over In his grave. Then
stretching his hand up toward the
heavens and looking thither, his
whole frame quivering with emotion.
his voice rang like trumpet as he
cried: I'VE shades Of Knox and Luth-
er and Calvin. have We clean gone
from the earth. Is there nobody left
TO reprove wickedness in high
pIaces?" The effect was electrical.
The whole audience bent forward to-
ward the preacher, drawn by some
mysterious, irresistible power.
When he had preached forty min
utes he stopped and said that he had
made an agreement with his deacons
not to preach longer than that; but
that we must permit him to steal
five minutes of our time. He now
gathered up the thought Of his dis
course into a beautiful, forceful
parable. How simply, naturally, ell
oquently it was all done. At its close
he said: Such is the parable; live
it out; amen" He pronounced the
benediction and disappeared.
The impressions Of that hour can
never be effaced. The great preach
er led me captive. He stirred my
soul to its depths. My spirit react
ed on my body. Waves of nervous
excitement, akin to chills, chased
each other down my backbone. At
times I hardly knew whether l was
in the body or out of the body. Sew
eral times afterward I listened to
Mr.. Sturgeon, but never again when
he seemed to possess so much power.

NORFOLK SOUTHERN PUTS ON
BROILER PARLOR CARS.

Tho Norfolk Southern Railroad
with it's already excellent passenger
service, announces to-day that begin
ming Monday morning its DAY Elk
press" leaving Norfolk at 1890 a.
M, will carry the latest and most
modern Pullman Broiler ParloT Cars
between Norfolk and New Bern in
order to properly care for the in
creased travel. With this improved
equipment the road now operates
Pullman cars on all it's through trains
between Norfolk and Eastern North
Carolina. BY the addition of these
dining cars quite a novel opportun-
ity is afforded passengers. While
comfortably seated in parlor car
they enjoy their lunch and at the
same time pass over the famous Able
marie Sound Bridge, about six miles
in length, and said to be the longest
bridge over navigable waters in the
world. Passing the historic and pref
ty little town Of Edenton at the lunch
hour, the shores of the placid Able
marie are reached, and for six miles
the route leads over this wonderful
engineering project of modern times
to the little town of Maekeys, origin
ally called Mackey's Ferry, but which
was changed with the passing of the
old ferry steamer John w. Garrett
that piled the waters of the Able
marie for years. No other road In
the country could serve meals in its
diners to its patrons under such un.
usual and novel surroundings.
The Norfolk Southern has improv.
ed its passenger service wonderfully
within the last few months. Only
within the past few weeks a nighI
service with Pullman sleeping cars
was inaugurated between this city
and Goldsboro. The vast fertile sec.
ton Of Eastern North Caroline
through which its lines traverse Il
brought into closer and more init.
mate touch with the business inter.
est OF this city. and where before
the bridge over the Sound was CON.
structed and transportation, both
passenger and freight. was slow and
unsatisfactory, fast and comfortable
equipped express trains now operate
bringing the section south of the
Sound. and as far south as New Bern
and Beaufort, into closer commercial
and social relations
The road is to be heartily congrat.
ulated upon its wide-awake spirit and
should be literally patronized by the
public and the business interest
which 1t serves.

usually no time to have it pressed

if these few directions. given by a

there will be peace in the family

WHEN SPURGEON WAS IN FULL
YIGOR.

On a bright Sunday morning in
July, 1868, I sat down for the first
TfTne III Surgeons tabernacle. At
the appointed moment the great
preacher stepped unheralded into his
semi-circu!ar pulpit. He was then in
Euil physical vigor. At once he in
voked the divine blessing. Without
any apparent effort the musical tones
OF his voice perfectly filled every
part of that great auditorium. To
me- his enunciation was marvellous.
Every letter of every word was dis
tinctly uttered. And what was Of
vastly greater Importance, in his
prayer he evidently came into the
= very presence chamber of the King
and asked him approximately and
tenderly for his blessing on the wor-
Shipping congregation and on himself
Then he read a hymn naturally, so
as to give the sense of the words:
. loud hallelujahs to the Lord,
! From the distant worlds where
creatures dwell,
Let heaven begin the solemn word,
And sound it dreadful down to
hell"
The whole congregation sang. The
sound of their united voices was like
che noise of many waters.
The song ended. Silence seemingly
absolute -ensued. Every eye of the
vast throng was on the preacher,
every ear was attent. He began to
Tread with pertinent luminous COM
sSnent the One Hundred and Fourth
psalm. AS he went on the interest
Increased; it became intense. The
physical universe, of which the psalm
treats, seemed resplendent with the
glory Of God. We were touched,
swayed and lifted up till am sure
that each one, with the Psalmist and
his eloquent expounder, in his heart
of hearts cried: 81 will sing unto
che Lord as long as l live; I will sing
praises to my God while I have
any being"
The preacher was thus borne on
the wings of divine inspiration into
mis- prayer, which was no offered.
The first Of it was praise, such as
had never before heard. The at
tributes Of God seemed to be unveil-
ed to the eye of the worshiper, and
In diction freighted with poetical i'm
Rgery he gave fit expression to the
vision which was passing before him.
Thanksgiving and petition followed
Epraise. One utterance was called
forth by an important public event
ne said, 1--WE thank thee for the dis
of the Church of Ire
land; now let the disestablishment
sof the Church of England speedily
follow" The prayer occupied only
about five minutes; but the psalm
and the prayer had attuned the souls
of the great congregation to praise
so that the second hymn was sung
with matchless fervor.
At last came the sermon. The
subject of it was, .tConfessing
Christ" It had been evidently care
fully prepared. The preacher pos
ssessed his subject, and his subject
possessed him: He did not rant, nor
spout, nor declaim, but talked nat
ufafly out of a full mind and heart
Like his Master. he used the com
snon words Of the people-words OF
poetry, eIoquence and power. His
-yoice was as clear as bell His dis
course ran on like a limpid brook

WAILUKU, Mar. 10-The Board of

week and adjourned this afternoon.
Last evening the board took up the
matter of raise of pay of county Of
ficials in answer to q request for an
opinion from Senator George H. Fair
child, chairman of the ways and means
committee in the Senate. The board
was in favor of raising the pay of the
clerk, treasurer and auditor to $2100
each, and the sheriff and county attor-
ney to $4,000 each. The majority of the
board were in favor of 5000 for their
annual recompense, while Supervisor
William Henning was explicit in his
opinion that the Office was intended to
be an honorary one and that the 5000
was just enough to meet their eX-
penses coming to the sessions, while
the real worth of the brain work they
devote each month for the benefit of
dollars and cents The board favored
adjusting the pay Of deputy sheriffs, if
the Legislature leave that matter to
the board, as follows: Mallawao and
Wailuku, $500 each; Lahaina, $1,000;
Hama, $10S0; and $720 for Molokai

stability of aiding the Maui delegation

ANOTHER STORY
TO BE BUILT.
Jordan & Co. Directors Order
Extension, Due to Demand
for New Departments.

Additional demand for store space
has caused the directors of Jordan &
Co. to order the erection of another
story on their Fort street building
This work is to be started as soon as
the store front alterations now being
made, are completed. The alterations
| in front of the store viii provide this
store with two large display windows
and center entrance, the largest OF
any store in Honolulu.
The decision to add another floor to
that back of the present second story
front was made at the annual meeting
of the directors and officers of Jor-
dan & co. 1t is understood that the
increase in business shown during the
past year was the cause of the deci-
sion.
The extended store space will be
used principally Tor an intended in
crease of stock in the ready to- wear
department, and will provide room for
separate departments for millinery,
childrens garments, and corsets and
underwear
George b. Curtis, manager of Jor-
dan & Co. will leave for the Coast on
the next Sierra, where he is going not
only to purchase stock for the new
departments, but also on a general
stock-purchasing trip, as well as to
secure extra help as managers for the
new departments. When speaking of
the intended improvements and in
crease of store stock this morning, he
said
Jordan & Co during the past year
have received the largest patronage in
the history of the store The present
quarters are not large enough to ham
die the BUSINESS of the store. This
has been the case especially during the
past two months. The demand for the
lines that we will put into separate
departments will not have to be Gre
ated 1t is already an established de-
mand We would not be worthy OF the
present patronage if we did not make
arrangements to supply all of our GUS
toners store wants"
| Mr.. Curtis, in conclusion, stated that
he attributed much of the stores pop
ularity to the fact that he used mod
ern day advertising. He makes his
| daily store announcement of particu-
| lar news interest to customers. BY
reading his advertisements they are in
formed of his stock and special offer
ings to their advantage.

BAKER PRAISES
PROGRESSIVISM
Noted Author Tells of Political
Advance Movement and
Meaning.

Defining an insurgent as pro
gressive, exceeding the speed limit, +"
and paying high tribute to progress
iveness in politics, Ray Stannard Ba
ker, the noted author, last night de-
livered an address before the mems
league of Central Union church on
"The Progressive Movement in Main
land Politics" Mr.. Bakers speech
dealt largely with the history of the
progressive movement, and in the
course of the address he declared that
ideas have advanced so rapidly in the
last few decades that what is consid-
cred conservative now would have
been radical forty years ago.
He contrasted socialism and pro-
gressiveism, declaring that socialists
are endeavoring to bring about eco
nomic reform without laying the po-
litical foundations right. In the
course of his talk he paid glowing
tributes to La Toilette, the Wiscon-
sin leader, whose ideas were at first
too advanced even for the leaders in
the progressive movement of his own
party.
Mr. Baker spoke briefly on local
conditions as he has found them here.
Il appreciate very much the way in
which my inquiries have been an
sWered on all hands. | only came
here at short notice, not knowing
anything of the problems of life with
which you were struggling. | have
been astonished at the tensity of life
here and the extent of the ciyiliza-
ton. | am also astonished at the way
in which you are meeting the various
problems. Here you have every prob
lem that we have in the States, and
| can assure you there is not one of
them left out. (Laughter)
This place is of the greatest sig
nificance Here the civilization of the
West is reaching out for the civili-
cation of the East The reports you
send from here will be listened to
with interest, and the actions you
make here will be the actions made
by the great portion of the United
States. You are meeting the Orien-
tails and we look to you for advice
and instruction, | am greatly inter-
ested in race problems and here you
have them all developed"
A short business session was held
before the address, DR. Hobby report
| ing on the anti-tuberculosis work. At
the end of his report, the league de-
cided to name a committee to collect
funds to make up a deficit of $500
! for the current year.
