natives more than a century ago. In lIG9 TN
Mission of San Gabriel was established, ant
the chime of its ancient bells still summon
the residents ofthat valley to worship within
its quaint walls. Ten years later San Juai
Capestrano, and in 1897 San Fernando Mis-
sion was started. The foundations of the Lo
Angeles Mission were laid several years late
for the special use of the Spanish soldier
who formed the settlement. The building Il
still in perfect condition, standing on Mali
street, opposite the plaza, and divine service
are held there regularly. The increased mem
bership of the church, however, has necessi
tated the erection of another house OF Wof
