Good works–“By their works, they shall be known,” according to the Good Book. Some women have gotten together under the direction of Queen Kaleleonalani, as a Sewing Association; and all of the money they make will go to helping the poor and sick. They do not have sewing machines, but they only sew each and every line by hand.

Baptized.–This past Tuesday, the young daughter of the Lord Bishop [Staley] of Honolulu was baptized at the church at Peleula. The god parents of the child are the King, Queen Emma, Captain Hanham [Kapena Hanamu], and his wife; Miss Edith Staley; and the Governess of Hawaii [Keelikolani]. Because Queen Emma was travelling, her part was assumed by the wife of the British Commissioner, Mrs. Synge. The Lord Chamberlain D. Kalakaua, Penekaraka [Prendergast], W. P. Kamakau, and W. Makalena attended in their finery. The King, through the Lord Chamberlain gave the child the name Kaholomoana. The reason she was given that name, because she was born at the exact time the Queen boarded the ship to go on her trip to Britain. There was a large crowd gathered there, and among them we saw His Excellency the Minister of the Interior [Hutchison], and Lord Chancellor E. H. Allen. The Bishop himself baptized the young child.

[Sing with gratitude,
Let us all be happy,
The sovereignty of Hawaiʻi nei,
Was lost and has returned.
Hawaiʻi’s people were nearly captives,
The chiefs were nearly servants,
Now, it has returned,
The sovereignty of the land.
Aloha to our Sovereign,
Aloha to all the chiefs,
Thrive with the blessing
A nation of everlasting glory.
Aloha to the ship’s officers,
Place a lei upon his head,
The haole that sailed speedily,
To set us free.
O glorious God,
Wondrous are your works,
Thanks is yours,
For this flag that was raised.]
