CONSECRATION OF KAUMAKAPILI CHURCH.

Tomorrow, Sunday, the new church of Kaumakapili that stands at the corner of King Street and Asylum Road will be consecrated. This is a beautiful church built by the Lucas Brothers [Hoahanau Luka].

According to plans, the Rev. W. N. Lono and Rev. Parker, are the makua that will conduct the consecration. The choir will sing some old songs.

Something great that will be witnessed that day will be the hearing of the ringing of the bell of the first church of Kaumakapili which stood on Beritania Street. The bell was forged in 1840 by Mr. Henry Hooper, and that same year it was brought to Hawaii nei and placed in the steeple of Kaumakapili.

When the second Kaumakapili was built at the same location, this bell was used for meetings. When this church was consumed by fire in 1900, this bell was taken to Maemae Church where it was used until it was brought back to this new Kaumakapili Church. S. M. Kanakanui, a member of the board of trustees, will be the one ringing the bell this Sunday.

One must be very careful when crossing from one side of the street to the other, because the automobiles speed by without paying attention to the people on the street.

[It seems like there are more and more accidents out lately. Please be careful out there!!]

KOREAN CHURCH DEDICATED

ELEELE, Kauai, Nov. 13.—”Like a village standing on a hill,” such is the beautiful church of the Koreans recently built in Lihue, Kauai; it is the building where the Koreans who live in Hanamaulu, Lihue, and there about worship.

This lovely building stands on a rise overlooking the valley of Hanamaulu, and it can be seen proudly standing from all places close by.

This church was built through the assistance of the sugar plantations, and from philanthropists of Lihue, the people who are known to desire fine and righteous endeavors.

On this past Sunday, the consecration of the church was held. People of all ethnicities could come to watch the events of the day. Rev. John Wadman, the superintendent of the Korean mission here, and Rev. S. Hyen performed the consecration that day. Following the prayer of consecration, speeches of congratulations were given by pastors of the different churches of Lihue; amongst the pastors was Rev. Hans Isenberg of the German church who also gave a speech of encouragement, and his words captivated those who were there.

CHILDREN COME TO ATTEND SCHOOL IN HAWAII NEI

Three Korean children named Korea Chang, 9 years old, Rose Chang, 8, and Samuel Chang, 7, arrived in Honolulu this past Saturday from the city of Chicago, to go to school here in Honolulu.

They entered the Korean school here, where it is believed they will remain to be educated for five years.

There are many children at this Korean school who are now hoping to go to school in America, and here are children from America coming to school in Hawaii nei.

This attests to the quality of the Korean school in Honolulu.

A Royal Scion has Died.

The other week we reported on the death of David Kahalepouli Piikoi at Kapaa, Kauai, on the 18th of October past, and this week, we are showing how he figures into the Royal line of Haloa gone by.

He is a man closely related by blood to Kamehameha IV and Kamehameha V, and Lunalilo I who recently passed on, and this is his relationship.

Kamehemeha IV and Kamehameha V,

Keawepoepoe (m) dwelt with Kumaiku (w), born was Keaumoku (m), Alapai (m), Kaulunae (f).

Keaumoku (m) dwelt with Namahana (f), born was Kuakini (m), Kaahumanu 1 (f), Kaheiheimalie (f), Kahekili (k), Kekuaipiia (k), Kuakini (lame) (m).

Kaheiheimalie (f) dwelt with Kamehameha I, born was Kinau (f).

Kinau (f) dwelt with Kekuanaoa (m), born were Kamehameha IV and V.

Pertaining to Lunalilo I.

Kaheiheimalie (f) dwelt with Kalaimamahu, born was Kekauluohi (f); Kekauluohi with Kanaina, born was Lunalilo I.

Pertaining to David Kahalepouli Piikoi.

Alapai (m) dwelt with Kamokuiki (f), born was Kekahili (f); Kekahili dwelt with Piikoi, born was Kahalepouli.

It is through Keawepoepoe that this man, Kahalepouli, is related to Kalakaua I and Keelikolani; and through Kumaiku, the wahine of Keawepoepoe, his blood is part of Keelikolani; and by way of his grandmother Kamokuiki, his blood is then part of the Royal Family currently on the throne.

His kanikau was sent to us, but because this issue is very full, we will put it aside temporarily until next week.

He has a royal wife, Kekaulike Kinoiki, the younger sister of the Queen, along with the three children, Davida Kawananakoa, Ed Keliiahonui, and Kuhio, who mourn over his remains.

We have published this because of our regret that all of the royal descendants are leaving, and our minds are somewhat relieved [kanahai] to know that he has children who are currently alive. Our deep felt aloha goes to those in mourning.
