BASHFORD
TALKS OF FAITH

Faith and it's results to the indi-
vidual and the nation were discussed
by Methodist Episcopal Bishop, Bash
ford yesterday evening at the Empire
theater
There are two kinds of faith" said
the bishop "One is faith by fore
sight, the other faith by insight
The Western nations are living in
the future, while the Oriental nations
have been living in the past. While
the nations of the Far East have
banked their existence on past
glories, the civilized West has been
striving hard, educating its children
to qualify for the future and teaching
them in turn to look ahead. This is
faith by foresight.
you can't build your civilization
on a man who is living in today only
Leading a hand-to-mouth existence.
What we need is faith which goes
into the future. No man who has
simply vision of time and sense is
living up to his possibilities.
BE men of faith and make larse
plans for home, business, family and
honor but don't underestimate your
self by planning for merely thirty or
forty years. Your life is an immortal
one, so look ahead for thousands of
years.
THAT is foresight and faith"
Nearly one thousand people attend
ed the meeting last night, attracted
by Bishop Bashford, whose previous
addresses made in Honolulu have i'll
dicated that he is a speaker of more
than ordinary merit. In a few intro
ductory remarks prior to the sermon
! the bishop congratulated the citizens
of Honolulu upon the spirit of church
unity manifested here during the
| present movement, and he said that
he was sure that the time would
come when there would be no such
! things as church divisions.
The prayers we're offered by the
Rev. David Carey Peters of the Chris
tian church, who has been IN the hos
pital until two days ago. Evangelist
Butler sang THE Man of Sorrows,
by Sankey, and Mrs. Wright rendered
a vocal selection at the close of the
sermon.
Tonights sermon will deal will
"The Fatherhood of Cod" and Mr.
Butler will sing the famous solo, Il
Is Enough" from the oratorio Q
Elijah.
Another boys mass meeting ha
been announced for next Sunday af

meeting, the men will meet at A p. n

CONTROVERSY ON
OIL PIPE LINE.

There was a good deal of discus
sion about the oil pipe line at the
meeting of the harbor commission
ers yesterday afternoon, and the con
troversy about the pressure that the
present pipe, along the waterfront,
can stand caused much argument
Chairman Campbell claimed that the
pipe can stand a pressure of 500
pounds, although a pressure of only
1875 pounds is now put on it by the
oil company.
Commissioner Wakefield claims that
the pipe could not stand the increased
pressure.
Manager Davidson, OF the Associ
ated Oil Company, which supplies the
Inter-Island Co. and the Hawaiian
Electric Company with oil, sent a let
ter to the commissioners, which des-
cribed the company's equipment and
stated that with the present pressure
vessels docking at the Alakea wharf
and calling for 5000 barrels of oil be-
tween nine in the forenoon and five
in the afternoon would get $50 bar
rels short if the pressure was but 1875
pounds.
The letter further said:
with the present 6inch line our
San Francisco office figures that with
500 pounds pressure we could deliver
Japanese steamers at Alal1ea wharf
600 barrels per hour, and likewise to
the Oceanic wharf. OF course, it is
understood that after line has been
tested and same will stand 500 pounds
pressure, this company will install
necessary pumping equipment that
VIII make the deliveries in time to
steamers at the Alakea and Oceanic
wharves. We recommend that in case
line is to be installed to these wharves
same be S-inch pipe"
