people will long remember last Satur-
day and Sunday evenings in Wailuku.
On. Saturday the inaugural recital on
the Henry PeFrine Baldwin organ took
place, and on Sunday evening the ded-
icatory-memorial service was held.
Both occasions brought large num-
Der of people to the Wailuku Union
Church.
The organ is as perfect and as beau
tiful an instrument as there is in the
territory. In fact, many music-lovers
declare that for sweetness of tone and
richness of quality no organ in Hawaii.
can surpass it.
It can be described best by the spec.

The new organ makes a beautiful
appearance in the Wailuku Union
Church. It completely fills the arch

perfect The softest note of the organ
can just be heard in any part of the
church, while the full organ effect can
be distinctly noticed all over the
building. 4
