The person and people perhaps who wish to go and see the Leprosy Hospital at Kalihi [Halemai Lepera ma Kalihi], and their friends there.
Therefore, I say to everyone, the hours between 2 o’clock and 4 in the afternoon, on Tuesdays and Fridays, are set aside to go and see; and no one will be allowed during other times except for the Clergy going there to see the patients [poe mai].

June 25th was a memorable day at the Makawao Union Church of Paia because it was the last Sunday during which religious services were to be held previous to the dismantling of the building.
The exercises were especially marked by a beautiful solo by Mrs. Jones, and an interesting sermon of a semi-historical nature, entitled—”The Passing of the Old Church”, by Rev. A. C. Bowdish.
The first building of the church was a small wooden structure at Makawao on the site now occupied by the cemetery. The change of location was made to the present situation for two reasons, first because of the shifting of the center of the district’s population and second because of the present position marks the place where the late Mr. H. P. Baldwin nearly lost his life. Continue reading
At the Hilo Armory [Halekoa o Hilo], before a truly huge audience reaching nearly a thousand people, an Archipelago-wide song contest between different Choirs [Puali Himeni] from the different Islands was held. They showed their great proficiency taught to them by the Leaders of the different Choirs. The crowd who attended this big gathering was really entertained. Each group sang two songs, that being the song chosen for the competition and another outside of that song. After the singing, the Judges conferred over the decision, and when the decision of the Judging Committee was announced, they gave the championship to the Choir of Molokai, the group that took the banner for the two previous years, and the banner went to them for all times. The percentages announced by the Committee before the crowd was this: Molokai, 91 percent; Haili, 88 percent; Kauai, 81 percent; West Hawaii, 76 percent; and Maui, 61 percent. Some of the Committee told us that the reason Haili lost the competition was not because their singing was not fine, but because of the apparent exhaustion on their faces, being that good appearance while singing is a big part of the scoring.
The crowd that came in the large audience could understand the reason for that exhaustion, being that some of those singers came from the banquet table, and they were attendants for the guests of the Hawaiian Evangelical Conference [Aha Paeaina]. That the banner was not taken by those of Haili is not something to kick them for, and the decision of the Judging Committee was appreciated with good feelings. This was an entertaining concert, and the performances of the Hawaiian Singers was much appreciated. The proceeds from that gathering was $400.50.

O Greatest one of the People, the Kuokoa. Please insert in an empty space of your konane board, the words appearing above, and it will be you that announces to the friends and companions of that Mrs. Lilia Paaoao Pali has died and has gone on the companionless path.
On the 28th of March, 1903, at the hour of 5:30 p. m., the great dread of the world arrived like a thief in the night, and swiftly took the living breath of the greatly loved mother.
Lilia Paaoao Pali was born of the loins of S. Poholopu and Nahooikaika (f) at Lahaina, Maui, in 1845. Her days in this world number 58 years and some months. Continue reading
To our beloved Papa who is bereft of Beloved Mama who has gone.
Rev. A. Pali: Let there be endless affection between us. Whereas when we saw in the Newspaper that our dearly beloved mother, Mrs. Lilia Paaoao Pali has gone, and whereas the Almighty has graciously taken her dear breath, and whereas at her passing, she left beloved Papa without mama, and the children without a mother, the grandchildren without a grandparent, and so too her fellow laborers in the work of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Therefore, we are your children with hearts filled with grief for our beloved mama who has passed.
We join in the lamentation with you with grief for her, carrying together the burdens of sorrow and sadness.
It is our prayer that the sad and dejected thoughts of you, your children, and grandchildren are lessened.
It is true, it is He who giveth and it is He who taketh away.
Let Him be praised and lighten our sadness.
We, your children and grandchildren.

After a long illness Rev. Adam Pali departed this life on Friday, Oct. 9, about 8 o’clock A. M. He was born in Waimea, Hawaii, 66 years ago. He studied at the Rev. Mr. Lyons’ School in Kohala, graduating in 1862. He was married in 1863, was licensed to preach in the same year, and the first field of his pastoral labors was a Waioli, Kauai. He remained in charge of the Waioli church for 9 years. In 1875 Pastor Pali came to Lahaina and was installed at the Wainee Church. Although greatly enfeebled by asthma he continued to preach, with some assistance from Rev. E. S. Timoteo, until he was relieved from duty by Rev. S. Kapu, the present pastor of Wainee Church.
Father Pali’s funeral took place at the church last Saturday morning at 10 o’clock. the minister who took part in the service were Rev. S. Kapu of Lahaina, Rev. Martin Lutero of Lahaina, and Rev. Nawahine of Waihee.
The decease of Mrs. Pali took palce on March 28, of the present year. To Rev. and Mrs. Pali, eleven children have been born, five of whom are now living, Hon. Pilip Pali, three married daughters, and one unmarried daughter. It is an interesting circumstance that the lamented pastor and his son havve both served in the Hawaiian Legislature. Rev. Adam Pali’s term of office was while the Provisional Government was in power.

When the steamer Iwalani arrived on the morning of this past Friday, news of the Paupili rain of Lele [Lahaina] was heard, saying that the doors of Wainee Church were shut by the brethren. The story we heard was this below.
One day on the previous week, in the sermon of the kahu of that Church, A. Pali, he spoke about God, and at the very end of his talk, he revealed this:
“I am a true American, inside and out, from top to bottom;” and other inappropriate words; and the congregation began to fidget, and at the close of his prayer, the brethren told him, you are not good, O Pali, and we tell you that you will not pray in this Church from now forward.” Continue reading
I have been ordered by the Executive Committee [Aha Hooko] of the Central Hawaiian Patriotic League of Honolulu, to instruct all of the Leaders and the members of the Ahahui Aloha Aina across the Archipelago, being that it is known that on the 4th of July, 1894, on that day, the Provisional Government will proclaim a new Constitution, and the Republic of Hawaii, and at that time, or perhaps before that time, perhaps Martial Law [Kanawai Koa] will be proclaimed.
