SEWING MACHINE.

Perhaps they may wish aliarder name for
them when their merits are fully known to
the people OF Southern California. Though
hardly three months since Its Introduction
In Los Angelee, 1t has already become pet
machine, and in ease In running and perfec-
ton In construction II stands unrvaled. In
the Eastern States 1t has already taken the
front rank in sewing machines, and is fast
taking the place of the Older aud harder run
ming machines. E
In the manufacture of their family ma
chimes they have increased from 1000 to 81, :
600 In the past four months and to-day with
their large facilities for turning out $50 ma
chires per day, the Remington folks are 1000
behind in filling orders and are obliged to
enlarge their works.
In the manufacture of their rifles, revolvers,
agricultural implements, type writer, ETC.,
their name has become a synonym of perfec-
ton in work ,and material, and everyone
knows when 1t bears the stamp of Remington
1t is good and up to-not behind-the times.
Do the Singer folks base the merits of their
machines upon the sales of former years, the
Remington base theirs upon the merits OF
their machine as 1t stands to-day, and are
ready to try it against any machine in the
market.

Remington agent justly anticipates harder

er" By referring TO one of our dailfes find
that this soft, noiSeless, "pet' machine has
been introduced into Los Angeles at a much
earlier date than the agent states. This may
be owing to defect of memory.
The Remington agent has made rather
startling statement to the public in his latest
advertisement to this etfect-that the REM
ington s. NJ. Co. in the manufacture of their
family machines have increased from $4,000
to $1,000 in the past four months, and in the
same paragraph says that the factory Is only
capactated to make $50 per day; thus allow
ing every working day during said period
find that he gives the Remington folks "
credit for 100 machines more per day than the
Factory, with all its "large facilities" can
produce-a pretty hard strain on the most
fertile imagination.
The Remington Agent asks the "Singer
folks" q very important question, namely:
Do they base the merits of their machines
upon the sales of former years? AS am the
only representative of the Singer Mfg. Co. in
this county shall answer the question. The
Singer Mfg. Co. points with just pride not
only to their sales in the past but also to the
fact that those sales have constantly fncreas-
ed up to the present. l hold to the rule that
the com mparctive sales of a machine consti-
tutes correct criterion of Its merits and q
true index of its popularity.

the condition and prospects Of the school.
he stated that the school is now in more
prosperous condition than ever before in its
history. Under the skiful superinteDdeuce
Of Mr.. James Fl. Peay, who Is assisted by q
faithful corps Of officers and teachers. the
school has attained an enviatle reputation
for discipline, promptness, and attention to
the studies Of the school.
Mr.. T. l.. D. Walford, former president Of
this Society. addressed the meeting. Sub
ject: "The Work Accomplished by the Sum
day School," He stated that Sunday schools
of the present day are doing more for the
conversion Of children than ever before In
their history. He contrasied the Sunday
school work of this day with 1882. Then n
convention was called in New York of all
denominations, and in the majority of the
schools represented there had not been con.
version during the year.
The following very interesting exercises
by the children were then Introduced:
Declarations 'Thou God Seest Me-" BY
Mary French; )" If Papa were Only Ready"
by May Tucker )" The Blind Boy" BY Rosa
Baker "Now Lay Me Down to Sleep"
Lola Mitchell; Heaven" Mamie Smith;
Prayer Us. BeneyoleDce," George Armi-
stead; "Borrioboola Gha," Julia Hennipg.
These recitaiious were executed in splendid
style, showing that the. children had re.
ceiVed thorough training.
Rev. John E. Edwards then addressed the
meeting. Subject: "More work for more
hands to do" In former years there was
comparatively very little to do in the Church.
The large field of usefulness now thrown
open by the Sunday.school work supplies
work for every hand and heart to do. The
Sunday-ychool work deveopes the talent OF
the Church. The more work that is done
in this direction the more love will the work
er have for the cause. The Sunday. school
work begins in this world and only ends
when the scholars are saved by grace divine
in heaven.
The entire meeting was nterspersed by
very fine singing by the school of the church,
led by Dir. Curtis Taylor, chorlster.
