S. KAPU. Rev. S. Kapu, recently called to the pastorate of the Lihue Hawaiian Church, passed away at his home Saturday night. He had been ailing for some time, but his intimate friends did not realize that there was any immediate danger until the end came. The deceased was among the most gifted and able of Hawaiian pastors, especially fluent, graceful, and forcible as a speaker. His death will be a serious loss to the Hawaiian ministry, the ranks of which are being steadily thinned by death and old age. Mr. Kapu came to Lihue two or three months ago from Lahaina where he had been in the employ of the Board of Education as a teacher of music and hygiene in the historic school of Lahainaluna. He had the rare distinction, for a Hawaiian, of teaching these difficult and technical subjects in English. Prior to that time, he had filled several of the more important pastorates of the Islands. He leaves a widow and four small children.
