SOCIAL NEWS OF THE DAY.

SOCIAL NEWS OF THE DAY.
A very elaborate reception was
that at which, between the hours Of
four and six yesterday afternoon, Pro-
fessor and Mrs. John w. Gilmore en-
tertained at their home in Manoa
Valley in honor of the faculty and
students of the College of Hawaii, all
of whom were present, as we'll as
many of the Board of Regents and
their wives.
About one hundred and twenty-five
cards had been sent out, all respond
ing, which contributed towards rem
dering the reception brilliant
affair.
The home, which is noted for its
beauty, was transformed into trop-
ical indoor bower, daintiness charac-
terizing the charmingly artistic ar
rangement of white and green, the
college colors, so appropriate for
such an occasion.
The large lanais were flanked and
enclosed by great palms and alluring
rustic hanging baskets overgrown
with maidenhair ferns of all the rar-
est varieties.
The great entrance, hall and recep-
ton room, which is so artistic in
construction and apparently so I'M
limited in it's capacity where the re-
ceiving party stood, was a brilliant
scene.
Here and there very tall pedestals
supported bronze jardinieres of
graceful dropping palms, while myri-

asters interspersed with maidenhair

menu
The Praying Courtier.
Overwhelmed by the news from
| home, Nehemiah, who seems TO nave
straightway asked himself, What car
do about it?'' His practical bent ap-
peared at once AS Kipling says OF
the American,
He turns a keen, untroubled face
Home to the instant need of things.
Sore beset by the dire conditions
which had come to his knowledge, and
so to his sense of responsibility, Nehe-
miah found that his influence and po-
sition and statecraft were not equal
to the emergency. Like Lincoln, ne
was compelled to turn to God for help
by the conviction that he had nowhere
else to go. The glorious paradox Is
forever true, that the shortest route to
anywhere is by way of the throne OF
heaven. Concerned for loved ones be-
yond our reach, concerned for grave
national ills, concerned for poor, dis
traught China and for the imperilled
Christians of Turkey, we can but fol-
low Nehemiah's statesmanlike example
and carry their case to the King of
kings.
A Model Prayer.
The larger part of this first chapter
of the book of Nehemiah is taken up
with the prayer of the cup-bearer of
the king. 1t contains all the model
elements of q model prayer. First,
there was the humble mind of the sup
plient- He wept and mourned and
fast ed. Arrogance cannot pray. 1t is
with reason that men pray from their
knees. 1t is more important to recog-
nize that God is on the throne than TO
know that We are in a position of
need. Nehemiah's prayer exalted Je-
hovah that keepeth covenant The
oid-fashfoned prayers of our forefath-
ers. which recognized the greatness
and sovereignty of God, have gone
somewhat out of fashion, but the flip
pant familiarity, which has in some
cases succeeded them, is no improve
ment There must be true spirit of
reverence before there can be any real
prayer.
This man prayed a big prayer. While
it is true that nothing that is great
enough to concern one of Gods child
rem is too small to be taken to him
in prayer, yet it is also true that no
worthy prayer may be made UP wholly
of small and selfish petitions. In Ne
hemiah's case we see fulfilled the
of Jerusalem" He carried nation on
his heart. The religious and physical
condition of his countrymen brought
tears to his eyes and anguish to his
soul. mat is the kind or prayer that
God delights to answer.
Frank, square, open dealing with
God characterized Nehemiah's petition.
He confessed his sin and the sin of his
people. He pleaded no merit of his
own. All that he asked was of grace,
and not of right
knowledge of the word of God en-
abies one to pray in accord with the
will of God SO Nehemiah pleaded the
promises, and he recited Gods way
and words with the chosen people.
Then he left It all with Jehovah,
trusting that he might have favor with
the king when he should appear be-
fore him. He knew that the heart of
Xerxes was in the hand of Jehovah.
The close of his petition shows that
calm assurance which is the first re-
ward of true prayer.
