High School Graduates Listen to

CHURCH IS CROWDED TO LIMIT

The seating capacity of the Meth
odist church was taxed to it's utmost
Sunday night, when Rev. c. H
Kamphoefner delivered the bacca.
laureate sermon to the graduating
class of Lincoln high school. Many
stood throughout the entire evening
and still others went home unable
to find seats. Miss Christensen pre-.
sided at the organ and the services
were opened with a prelude follow
ed by the evening hymn, DAY is
Dying in the West" sung by the
double male quartette and congre-
cation accompanied by the full or
gan.
Rev. l.. H. sours, pastor of the
Christian church, offered the 1nvo-
cation, which preceded soprano
solo by Miss Clarene Mueller. The
scripture lesson for the evening, the
eighth Psalm, was then read by
Rev. L.. G. Mclaughlin of the Uni
versalist church. Following the Of
fering the double male quartette
rendered 20 Be Joyful in the Lord
Rev. Kamphoefner found his text
for the sermon in the eighth Psalm
What is man that Thou art
mindful of him, and the Son of
Man, that Thou visited Him." and
preached a most eloquent and beau
tiful sermon, using the spacious fir
mament on high as an illustration
of the greatness and magnitude OF
Gods plan. He said in part that
the existence of a God was fact
and only fools will say in their
heart, "There is no God" The
ancients recognized instantly Gods
hand in the wonders of the heavens,
having only their limited means Of
studying the heavens. We have now
telescopes, cameras and many Won
derful instruments for the study Of
the solar system. The earth herself
is an interesting study; she always
makes her revolutions in exactly the
same time, not varying once in a
thousand years. This fact alone
should make us think Of our rela-
tionship of God. The moon holds a
relationship to us alone, her light
and her motion controlled by laws
so old that the Chinese were able to
predict eclipses three thousand years
ago.
When we deal with the heavens
we are dealing with magnificent dis
tances. The sun is so far away from
the earth that it takes ray of light
eight minutes to reach us. There
are only two planets nearer to the
sun than the earth. AS we learn
these astronomical facts infinity be-
gins to dawn upon us. Each star IS

fairly grows dizzy with the thoughts
of the heavens above us. Later tele-
scopes reveal stars which earlier as
tronomers never dreamed of. The
telescope at the Lick observatory re-
veals five hundred millions of stars.
The stars were used in olden times
as symbol of multitude. Abraham
was told that his seed should be
numbered as the sands of the sea
or as the stars of the heavens. Math-
ematics alone cannot tell US of the
heavens. Wisdom, forethought and
power speak to us of an infinite God.
Men who have gone deep into the
secrets of the heavens are struck
with the thought expressed by the
poet, "The hand that made us is
divine!" Keplar, the great astron-
omer, exclaimed upon the discovery
of three laws of motion, 20 my God!
I am thinking thy thoughts after
thee" Shakespeare sought to depict
the nobility of man when he said,
"What piece of work is Man how
noble in reason, how infinite in fac
ulty! In form and moving, how ex-
press and admirable!" Man has al
ready taken his place as God meant
he should,in large measurable flies
his signal of dominion in earth and
sky and sea. He has performed Won
ders with steam and electricity; he|
has forced the mighty shoulders of
Niagara into the yoke Of submis-
sion. God made man in his own i'm
age and likeness, and for the lofti-
est purpose. He walks and stands
erect and is indeed the paragon of
But his body is only the
temple of a soul. Man is the only
creature to think Gods thoughts af-
ter him. Some souls are greater
than others. Some times among thel
masses of men we find souls like
Herschel and Keplar, who produce a
work which we call astronomy; or
Huxley and Harvey, who produce a
work called physiology. Some one
Of you in the class tonight may be
such a soul and produce a wonderful
work, but remember that it will be
Gods thought, thought secondly by
you. AS you enter into sympathy
with nature, she will reveal her
treasures to you. It IS easy to be-
lieve greater numbers of volumes of
sciences are yet to be written. In
tellectual power does not complete
the divine nature in a man, but
this he enters into relation

tiny God would give to man is spir-

love in that he permitted the cross
Of his Son to be erected on one of
calvary's hilltops. May none of you
ever forfeit your birthright. Walk
worthy of the God who called you
into his kingdom. Walk as BETTING
a son and daughter of King.
God reveals his infinitness in not
only the stars but the delicate trac-

Several hundred people attended the

Senator Rice said in part:

SENATOR RICE Off FOR HAWAII;
CAMPAIGN ON OAHU CONTINUES

II chosen to Congress will shape my
entire course in full accordance
Herewith.
This platform. a. you doubtless
know. is very complete and deals full
y with all the various public ques-
tons affecting our welfare.
No Third Party Confusion.
Il believe further that any agency
intended for, or resulting in, the diyi-
sion OF the Republican vote. or con-
fusion of the Republican voters. is an
agenCy inimical TO the public veal
and that it most surely tends to the
advancement of democracy and the
resulting injury TO the public good
There may be parts of the United
states in which some doubts still ex-
list as to the ineff1ciency of the Demo-
cratic party to serve the public vel
fare, but in Hawaii the blighting eff
feet OF Democratic ascendancy is so
manifest, the injury felt is so general
and the damage done is so great that
arguments seem unnecessary.
Differences Made Plain.
In 1912 many asserted that there
was very little or no difference be-
tween the two parties-but doubt at
this time If there is a single person
ia Hawaii who does not regret deep
down in his heart the Democratic
triumph in the election of 1912. Per-
nit me TO say that there may be ex-
ceptionS, but those exceptions are the
few Democrats who are still hoping
for some political office
Race Issue Denounced.
There is one subject concerning
which, In common with all true friends
of Hawaii. have had some worry |
have seen some things tending to show
a deviliSh disposition on the, part OF
some demagogues to raise the race is
sue. A man who stands on the public
rostrum in Hawaii and attempts to
foment racial strife is an enemy to the
public good, a traitor to his race and
an enemy to Hawaii.
Will Remain Loyal.
I'VE must ever keep in mind during
the primary contest for nominees on
the Republican ticket, the all import
ant fact that it will still be necessary
fer all Republicans, after the prima-
ries, to actively cooperate to win ct
the general election next November.
Speaking for myself, | desire to
state most emphatically that my cam
paign will be conducted along fair
lines and If defeated for nomination |
will vigorously support my victorious
rival. l ask that my competitors for
this nomination observe the same rule
and make the same pledge.

out regard to. racial alignment. J. have
felt this way during all the years of
my activities as committeeman and I

ION the matter of citizen labor
am intensely interested and in the

er, 1t may be proper for me to say
that | have been at all times vigor-
ousiy supporting homesteading and
have never had occasion to regret my
course in this regard.
No Mainland Lepers.
81 am unutteraDly opposed to any
legislation by the National Congress
designating any part of this Territory
as a national leprosarium. My posi-
ton on this subject is not taken be-
cause of any lack of sympathy with
the sufferers from this dread malady.
but rather because of the feeling that
such legislation would work incalcul-
able harm to our Territory.
Our Territory has larger popula'
ton than had many of the States
when they were admitted to the I'm
ion. am in favor of the Inaugural
ton of a campaign looking to our adj
