The Simplicity Of It.

If we look at it in the simplest way
what is religion 1t is only trying,
by Gods help, to do whatever is right.
For a person who has not been doing
that, the way to begin is perfectly
simple. 1t is to give up and turn
away from all willful wrong-doing,
and to look constantly for sympathy
and help to that loving God whom
Christ has taught us to call Father.
1t is to try to live in the spirit of
Christ, not only in purity and inno-
cence. but in active love toward all
human beings and in dependence on
the love of the Highest. To reach
perfection in this life is long, long
task; but to set ones face toward 1t
and make beginning is u simple
matter. Indeed, in a Christian fam
ily, it constantly happens that child
makes some beginning and growth in
this life from its very earliest years.
There may come time of conscious,
deliberate acceptance of Christian
purpose; but long before that the
child has probably been learning to be
gentle and obedient, truthful and
helpful, and to look to God as its
friend. 1t is the natural and right
way that one should thus grow up TO
be a Christian and that the beginning
should be as far back and uncertain
as the time when the child began to
talk Exchange.

having two well manned engines is in
being able to cope with two fires at the
same time. But for the failure
of the plans of the incendiaries
few nights ago we should have had
Two confiagrations raging at the same
moment, with but one engine to sup
press them. We must provide against
another chance like that.
The people of Los Angeles will re-
gret to learn they are about to lose the
valuable professional services of DR..
r. Hilton Chase. The doctor leaves
by to-day's steamer for Oakland, where
it is now his purpose to resume the
practice of his profession. DIR. Chase
came to this city from Detroit, Michi-
gan, in August of last year. His pur-
pose in visiting this coast was to re-
gain, if possible, his health, which
had been somewhat impaired during
his long residence in Michigan.
Shortly after his arrival here ,he re-
sumed his profession and soon ac-
quired an extensive and lucrative
practice, but failing to find the boon
for which he was in search = good
health-and finding himself unable to
meet the demands ior his professional
services, he has determined to leave
his business in the hands of another
and try for a time the air of Oakland.
We regret to lose the. doctor and
trust that he will find as many and as
earnest friends in his new home as he
leaves behind in Los Angeles.

ENTERTAINMENTS
OF late. On Tuesday evening of this
week Mrs. Dr. Larkin favored us with
two short addresses on the subject of
"Woman Suffrage" She Is an ardent
advocate, and so frightened the gen.
tleman who had intended TO oppose
her in debate that his speech was only
q supplement- to hers. Several gentle
men were called out, but no one was
hardy enough to make much opposi-
ton, and the "suffragers had it all
their own way. The best short speech
of the evening, and one of the best pre-
minute speeches lever listened to, was
made by Mr.. Arthur Johnston. The
gentleman elected continual round
of applause and retired covered with
glory. But even Mr.. JohnstOn's speech
and every other entertainment we
have had in this section of country, is
compelled to give place to the delight
full performances of the party who
favored us on Thursday evening.
MIR. VIVIAN
And the entire party have the sincere
gratitude of our community. The en-
tertainment was well advertised, but
the gentlemen not being personally
known to many of us, it was not ex-
pected that we were to be treated to so
artistic a performance. The house was
crowded with an appreciative audience
and the whole affair was delightful
success. Showers of bouquets from
fair hands repaid the performers, and
we all unite in cordial invitation to
the party to "come again, and we will
do more for you next time"

EDITOR HERALD: Two new store
buildings have recently been erected
in the centre of our place. This makes
the fourth now ready for Use, all OF
which will be occupied in very short
time. One is the Grange Store, one
will be opened by Mr.. Davis of Ana
helm, one by Mr.. Mallett of Orange,
and the fourth yet remains to be Sc
cured. All other departments are in
state of increasing prosperity. 1t is
matter of continual astonishment,
even to the oldest settler of the place.
to note the rapid settlement of the un-
improved land. If were to make an
estimate, should say that at least
HALF A SECTION A MONTH
Is cut up into small lots and placed
under cultivation. The gravel lands
to the North and Northeast Of the
town proper, seem to have the choice
of settlers at present. These lands are
unsurpassed in the production OF fruit
and a fine quality of grapes. They
are not quite so easy to work as pure
loan, but their situation is so COM
manding and their fertility SO great
that this slight obstacle is not allowed
to hinder their development in the
slightest degree. 1t is on this land
that the orange orchard of Mr.. Mes
senger is situated This is perhaps
the largest orchard of its age in the
State, containing forty acres of trees,
four years old. The almond orchards
now present very beautiful appear
ance. The cultivation Of the almond
has received great deal of attention
here and promises the richest rewards.
Captain Glassell now values his ten
acres, partly set with almonds, at four
thousand dollars, and says he will sell
it for that much in short time. Other
almond orchards worthy of special
mention are those of Mr.. Huntington,
Mr.. Lockwood, and Mr.. Chas. 7. Har-
ris. These gentlemen all display the
greatest taste and judgment in the ar
rangement Of their orchards and well
deserve the beautiful homes they have
growing around them.
Our school is now in the most flour
! ishing condition. Mr.. Furlong has
recovered from his sickness and every
thing is moving along nicely.
The sage and cactus lands
"ACRoss THE SAN DIAGUs,"
Are being rapidly cleared. There are
in reality the finest lands in the tract,
being SO light and easily worked and
vet of sufficient body to make the
most excellent roads. By the way,
our roads are one great item in the
sum of our advantages. They are nat
ural pixies, almost entirely free from
dust at all times and affording
the most delightful driveways. "A
very few years will suffice to give
us the advantage over every other Sec
tion of the country in this respect.
The roads are being extended in all
directions and continual improve
