Went out to attend the morning meeting at Br. Kahakulua’s, but found no signs of meeting. The deacon is very weak and those he has the oversight of are weak also. This makes two mornings I have been up there and found the same state of affairs. Oh for wisdom to lead men in the way of life that they may be saved at the last day. Employed in study. In the afternoon held a meeting at Br. Solomon’s under a lanai which he has build for the purpose, preached on the second coming of Christ, not but a few present, had a good flow of the spirit.
