Other Meetings. s.
In connection with the annual meet
ing OF the Evangelical Association, the
sessions of the Christian Endeavor As
ISOLATION and that of the Sunday school
were also held. These meetings were
more tedious than the other meetings,
because such large amount Of time
was consumed by reports. 1t will be a
matter of unusual interest that Rev.
Akana was elected by the en-
deavorers as the president of their
Territorial association. This is a great
honor for SO young man, who has
only recently returned from the States,
and has only within two months be-
come an ordained minister.
Sunday was great day with the
Sunday school rally in the morning,
which was very largely attended by not
,nly the delegates from the conven-
ion. but by the Kauai people them-
selves in very large numbers. The
singing was excellent as always at
UGH great gatherings The work of
he Sunday schools was also well done.
The AFTERNOON session at 3 o'clock
vas devoted to the sacrament of the
1ord's supper, in which several visit
ng ministers Of different races OFF,
lated The sermons were given IN
Hawaiian by Rev Stephen L. Desha
nd in English by Rev. Collins G.
Surnham.
