FOR THE
BIBLE
The Rev. J. A. Crnzan's Glorifi
cation of tlie Holy Writ.
HAD A LARGE GOHGREGATIOH
Verse From a Psalm as a Text An
Impressive Discourse Complete
Mastery of the Book of Books.
"The Law of the Lord is perfect
converting the Soul; the' testimony of
the Lord is sure, making wise the sim
ple."
This verse, the seventh in the nine
teenth Psalm, was the text of the ser
mon by the Rev. J. A. Cruzan, the well
known visitor who supplied the Cen
tral Union Pulpit for the Rev. D. P.
Birnie, the pastor, on Sunday morn
ing. There has seldom been so large
a congregation in the big church. All
the seating capacity of the spacious
main auditorium and of the wide gal
lery was used. Besides this, a number
of people stood. It was a delightful
day outside and it was not uncomfort
ably warm inside. The Sabbath morn
ing gatherings at Central Union are
always large, without the special pro
mise of such a treat as a sermon from
an old friend like Rev. Mr. Cruzan. In
the congregation were all the people
here now who were in the flock of
Rev. Mr. Cruzan when he was eleven
years ago pastor of the Fort street
church. Then there came to hear , a
of attending church excepting perhaps
at Easter tide.
There was an unusually good choir
and Professor Yarndley had arranged
a fine musical program. Mrs. Wood
ward was the soprano and for the
offertory there was a solo by Mr. Wich-
man.
Rev. -Mr. Cruzan spoke for about
thirty-five minutes and had the clos
est attention. Those who remember
the divine in years agone and who
were in church yesterday morning, de
clare he is even more interesting and
refreshing and impressive than in the
old days. The visitor has a most at
tractive pulpit manner. He keeps the
Bible in his hand, uses the gesture
much, but gracefully, has well rounded
sentences and apt illustrations. The
voice is pleasing. The whole air, the
entire manner, is of meaning what is
said, of having the deepest faith, the
most abiding conviction.
The discourse was a most eloquent
and sound glorification of the Holy
Writ. From almost every mind pres
ent there must have been a response
to the intelligent and logical treat
ment of the doctrine of the survival
of the fittest as presented from the
pulpit in the light of religious thought
and the treatment of such men as
Drummond. This practical and al
most cruel assertion was beautifully
qualified by the presentation of the
Biblical belief and conclusion that aft
er all love must control and does con
trol. Let all books of all philosophies
and all ages, said the speaker, be com
pressed skilfully into one volume, and
if that great work equals the Bible,
the Bible must be put aside. The
strength and power and lasting quali
ties and adaptability of the Word of
God are firmly set in the words
"Blessed, blessed, blessed," as uttered
in the sermon on the Mount. The Holy
Writ contains the enduring, the com
forting, the personal, the appealing,
the applicable message. Its truth goes
tothehearts of all nations and all men.
It is the one grand wearing and sur
viving work available to all, adaptable
to all, all-sufficient to all. Its glories
shine on and on, undimmed by mo
mentous discoveries, by vaunted hu
man progress. Its teaching awakens
latent good in the bowels of the mis
erable, it grows and become more stal
wart and stronger and more useful.
Instead of being placed in the back
ground by advancement of civilization,
it maintains its position, its usefulness,
its divinity, its inspiration far and
away beyond the raose cultured, the
most useful, the most erudite and the
most substantial civilization. Rev.
Mr. Cru7i" closed with a brilliant per
oration, -iu was assisted in the ser
vice by the Rev. D. P. Birnie. In the
sermon, Rev. Mr. Cruzan evidenced a
very wide range of reading and a high
ly trained and developed mind.
In the evening, Rev. Mr. Cruzan was
heard by a large congregation at Pa
lama Chapel.
Mighty Goat Hunters.
These young men and two or three
others have been goat hunting near
Makakule, in the Waianae mountains.
Harry Wilder, Percy and George Lish
man, Harold Spencer, Henry and
Arthur Giles, Wm. Schmidt and Jas.
Harvey. The boys were very success
ful in the chase, as all of them usually
are. They killed between sixty-five
and seventy goats. The only hunter
injured was Harold Spencer. He says
he was pursuing a wounded goat and
collided with a pali. The other boys
gave a different account of the ac
quirement of a black eye by Spencer,
declaring that it was raining tin cans.
i
for a time and that Spencer was "rub-?
i
ber-necking" for flying goats.
ROLLED 250 FEET
Pali Accident That Will
Likely Result in a Death.
Swanson, a Carpenter, the Victim.
Tried to Recover a Hat-Man
Now in Queen's Hospital.
Swanson, the man who had charge
of the recent rebuilding of the wharf
at Heeia, fell from the side of the
Pali, Saturday afternoon and rolled
a distance of 250 feet to the bottom
with the result of very serious ya-
juries. Tne nrst message, conveying
information about the accident reached
the city at about 2:30 o'clock Satur
day afternoon. It was stated then that
the man had been killed outright. At
about 6 p. m., word came that Swan
son was still living and that he had
been taken to the hospital on Heeia
plantation. He was brought to the
city yesterday and is now at the
Queen's hospital in a very serioug
state.
Swanson started from the other side
Saturday morning and on the way up
the Pali, lost his hat. He did not go
after it but rode to the city and bought
a new one. In the afternoon, he re
turned on horseback and upon going
down the Pali, his new hat blew off.
He asked a native standing near to
get his hat. This fellow did not seem
very anxious to do so. Swanson tied
his own horse and went himself. Up
on attempting to reach his hat down
the steep side, he struck a bowlder
and was pitched 'headlong to the bot
tom with the result of two or three
fractures to his skull, a pair of hands
literally torn to pieces and undoubted
ly some internal injuries.
The native police officer stationed on
duty at the dangerous place took it
for granted Swanson was dead and
went to Kaneohe with the informa
tion. The news reached Mr. Bull at
Heeia, who went immediately to the
place and found the unfortunate man
breathing. Swanson was placed care
fully upon an improvised stretcher
and taken to Heeia where his injuries
were attended to temporarily.
Junior Base Ball.
There was a pretty little game of
baseball on the N. G. II. parade
grounds Saturday afternoon. The con
testants were the junior teams of
Iolani College and Mills Institute.
Half the players were Chinese. The
little chaps evidenced quite complete
knowledge of the game and were very
earnest in their work. The Iolani
lads won by the score of 11 to 8. The
game was close and interesting
throughout.

The Drill Shed looks a different
place now. It Is a perfect bower of
beauty. Mrs. Hutchinson and the
Misses Afong have done artistic and
effective decorating. Mrs. Fuller and
her assistants have the tables arranged
and the dishes ready to spread a din
ner. Three electric fans have been
placed in the big hall. All over the
interior are. pictures and colors and
flowers and greens. The words "Re
member the Maine" are shown in ever
green. On the stage a field piece has
been prettily set. Above the artillery
is a picture of Washington, which is
flanked by likenesses of Presidents
Dole and McKinley.
Around town there are a good many
attractive outside and window decora
tions. It must be conceded that the
most artistic showing has been mada
by A. E. Murphy at his shoe store.
Photographer Williams shows from
upper windows camera fronts covered
with flags. This is a unique idea, giv
ing a realistic cannon effect. The
Davey Photograph Co., has flags of
Great Britain, Hawaii and the United
States, with a number of pictures of
people of the hour.
Theo. Hoffman, manager for the Ha
waiian Electric Company, proposed the
piece de resistance. He proposes to
have at the Pacific Mail clock the
words "Remember the Maine" in a
line of twenty-four feet, with letters
wrought of colored lights. The talis
manic sentence thus shown will make
an impressive greeting.
ALMOST FALSE ALARM.
It is now known to everybody that
the sign for a troop ship is five whis
tles from the Hawaiian Electric Com
pany's Works. At 8 o'clock on Saturday
evening a young man who rode a wheel
stopped at a Japanese store on Bere
tania street and asked leave to use the
telephone. This was granted. The
scamp called up the Hawaiian Electric
Works and announced that the S. S.
City of Peking was "Off Koko Head." !
The man in charge in the engine room j
had his hand on the lanyard conrtoll- !
ing the whistle when it was learned .
that an effort was being made to create ;
a false alarm. "Central" had become
suspicious and found the truth just in .
time to save a whole lot of trouble and
excitement. Manager Cassidy, of the
Mutual Telephone Company is making
with the police, every effort to discover
who had the meanness and poor idea
of a joke to thus attempt to inconveni
ence hundreds of people. Marshal
Brown says that if the culprit can be
identified punishment will follow. The
Japanese shop keeper is positive that
he will know the man who did the tele
phoning. "Central" and the Electric
Works people have now agreed upon
a signal code as a protection against
a false alarm. The boys at the tele
phone office will watch closely all calls
made to the Electric Works.
WITH THE BTG 100.
Saturday's committee feature was
the placing of a tabu on liquor. This
originated with the executive body of
the Big 100 and created a mild sen
sation. In the session at' the Chamber
of Commerce hall. Senator McCand
less offered the following resolution:
"That no liquor will be paid for this
committee, and that no liquors of any
kind will be allowed at the Drill Shed
or at any place where refreshments
are served under the control of this
committee." Adopted unanimously.
There was warm endorsement of the
resolution by Senator Baldwin, chair
man of the executive commitee and
J. B. Atherton.. chairman of the fin
ance committee. Senator Baldwin said
that Consul-General Haywood thought
the saloons ought to be closed If the
troops came ashore. Mr. B. F. Dilling
ham was of this opinion in the
matter. Mr. Atherton has heard
that officers of the N. G. II. proposed
serving liquor to the officers of the
Manila expedition and was against
such enterainment, believing it would
be dangerous and bad in every way.
Late Saturday afternoon, Marshal
Brown said that he proposed to go so
far as warning saloon keepers against
selling liquor to the extent that any
of the visitors might become intoxi
cated. Several of the officers of the First
Regiment, N. G .H., were quite indig
nant over the association of the staff
and line with discussion of temperance
restrictions or measures. ' They said
they proposed to entertain any guests
they might have just as they pleased.
It was further remarked that many of
the officers were responsible and moral
men of some judgment and that it
should not be intimated that they were
likely to countenance or get up drink
ing bouts. Elaborate arrangements
are being made at the club of the N.
G. H. officers in the bungalow for the
greeting of visitors. A number of con
tributions have been made to the offi
cers for the purpose of catering to
their guests.
W. Pfotenhauer has been added to
the executive committee as the repre
sentative of H. Hackfeld & Co., H.
Klemme, Dr. N. B. Emerson and T. E.
Wall were made members of the recep
tion committee and John Phillips and
W. H. Cummings have been placed
with W. H. Hoogs on committee of
grounds and entertainment.
