to the night and exceedingly stiff
and sore.

Religious Educational
Campaign Notes
The preliminary devotional meet
ings held last week in the Lilmo
Union Church were both interesting
and effective services with a supris
ingly good attendance and a hearty
spirit of kindly cooperation.
The Sunday morning service at
the Lihue Union Church was an im
pressive one with fine singing, an
eloquent address by Dr. Laughton,
and a fine audience in the right
spirit. The church was beautifully
decorated for the occasion.
Dr. Laughton took a day off last
Friday and spent the night at Hae
na with Mr. and Mrs. Win. Ilydo
Rico and a company of young foil s
from Lihue. They lclurried Satur
day. The initial meetings of tho cam
paign have been a surprise in more
ways than one. The audience,- es
pecially Sunday evening was a' rec
ord one. much too big for the Hall
and much too big for the seating
cai.ii city.
The singing was a revelation.
Not only was tho trained singing
excellent; that more or less people
expected. But the singing of tho
general audience, that was excellent
too; there was an enthusiasm and
spirit in it that was contagious and
inspiring. Every one sang, wheth
er they could or not.
