("Hoike Kula Sabati ma Kaupo", Nupepa Kuokoa, July 11, 1919)
Mr. Editor of the distinguished paper, greetings:—If you have room in the beloved treasure of the nation, please send like lightning the matter mentioned above.
On Sunday, June 8, the Sunday school of Kaupo, Maui held a little family exhibition. There were five family groups: the family of the Rev. J. P. Kalohelani, the family of E. R. Keiki, the family of S. K. Makekau, the family of J. W. Kawaakoa and the family of L. A. Kanae.
This was a delightful demonstration of the instruction given in the Sunday school. The lessons were well-mastered and the children sang their hymns sweetly.
There were 48 students in the exhibition and 51 spectators, meaning the group totaled 99 in all.
The Sunday school performed a concert on the Saturday night before the Sunday exhibition, as well as a festive concert on Sunday night.
In all, $120 was raised through the two concerts and the Sunday school exhibition. This is one of the largest amounts raised through these kinds of family exhibitions.
After the completion of the Sunday school exhibition, the crowd was invited to the dining hall to "fill the pit of anger".1 Everyone ate their fill.
As secretary for the activities of the day, I, on behalf of the Sunday school of Kaupo, would like to offer thanks to all who banded together to give such heartfelt, generous assistance for the activities to further the work of our Lord.
Therefore, let the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost give the greatest blessings, and let Him fill thy barns with plenty.2
With regards to you, editor, and your young typesetters.
Sincerely,
L. AALONA KANAE.
Secretary for the activities of the day.
