The Hawaiian gazette., 1912-06-04


Deeply devoted to her own church, her
largess of succor and good cheer knew
no limitations; and SO, unconsciously
perhaps, she came into the fellowship
of that larger communion which num-
bers all consecrated souls of every
church and of no church the wide
world around.
els it not meet that Honolulu which
has been so favored in her life, should
raise a permanent monument to her
memory and to its own appreciation of
the imperishable ideals that were per-
sonified in her-a tower like this
chaste and beautiful in design, an adj
junct to the cathedral, where she wor-
shipped, and the home of the bells that
shall from time to time sound forth
to the homes of the city the music of
the sacred hymns she lovedf"
Acting Governors Address.
Aeting-Governor Mott Smith proceed
ed Judge Dole on the speaker IS plat
form, paying a deep tribute to the
memory of the woman they honored.
"This occasion is one of the bene-
! fcent moments which from time to
time come especially into our lives, -
he said, purifying our vision so that
the face of God comes nearer and the
| good and beautiful in the world is
made more clear. Death, birth, mar
riage, the growth and development of
| children are occasions of uplift, sweet
| tokens acquired in the course of life
of the great fatherly care which
cherishes us in our conscious as well
as in our unconscious moments. But
the uplift of this occasion is found in
this commemoration of the life of a
good woman, Alice Macintosh.
"Noble in every impulse, unselish
in every action, devoted to good work,
a dear wife and above all mother in
every sense, her memory to those of us
who knew her personally is tender and
beautiful. Deep down in our hearts
this treasure is securely kept and
cherished. 1t is an underlying and
potent impulse for good among all of
us. 1t belongs to all of US collective
ly; it belongs to each of us individ-
ually.
''This lofty tower with its column
on column, its graceful and stately out
lines and imposing architecture is the
material symbol of her life. The ever
I lasting symbol is to be found in the
| hearts of those who come to its base
or within its confines to learn of the
good works, the devoted life and noble
character of good woman.
Family's Voice.
/ H. NJ. Won Holt, the eldest son of
Mrs. Macintosh had prepared short
paper which he was prevented from
reading, however, by illness. Arthur
Macintosh took his place. In ex-
pressing the appreciation of the family
at the form the tribute of the people
to his mother s memory had taken, he
said:
''The Bishop, Ladies and Gentle
men:-I wish to voice my appreciation
of the opportunity thus afforded the
family of my Mother of blessed
memory, to express their qualification
at the completion of this magnificent
Memorial, which, / can assure you, is
a most satisfactory one.
81 wish to emphasize the latter part
of my remark, because it has some
time been said that our family would
rather have had different subject for
the memorial than this beautiful tower.
''Nothing could have pleased us
more than the choice of this fo'm Of
memorial, and [ again must reiterate
the appreciation and qualification, not
lonly to the donors who, by their gen
erous gifts made it possible, but
especially to the committee who have
so well carried out the trust Ieposed
in them, and to our Bishop who has
never failed to keep the matter in mind
until it's final completion and dedica-
tion this day."
