sirable lot on Fourth streetbetween Main
and Los Angeles streets and had on hand
at the beginning OF this Festival one
thousand dollars. as a nucleus ior =
building fund. In addition to this fund
there has been presented by benevo-
lent gentlemen lots, one in Santa Monica,
two on Brooklyn Heights, one at Rose
dale, and two at Long Beach. Our
present rented Home is so inadequate to
the demands-the work which we have
been doing, SO small viewed in the light
of all ourihands are finding to do, that
we have called upon the public to help
us make this Festival the open gateway
leading to a Home capable OF aceommo-
dating at least fifty. Our bank account
testifies to your hearty response. And

day in my vineyard, they have marched

more beautiful than the flowers them
selves has been the spirit Of the workers.
Each in his own place has been best.
Self has had little entrance here, but
with love, which we are told is greater
than the gift Of tongues or prophecy,
each and all have labored for the ac-

the anchor, emblems of safety from that
enemy most decidedly.
The Grand Army, Gelcich Post l06,
the Women's Relief Corps OF the Grand
Army, the Ladies' Auxiliary Corps of
Frank Bartlett Post, all have shown in
a manner most beautiful that they are in
sympathy with those who toll on q field
where neither sword nor musket are
used.
Many eyes have looked upon this
temple dedicated to Flora. Lilies by
the thousands, roses by the tens Of
thousand, violets and pansies without
number. Shall the story OF soil, air
and sunshine which make possible this
wealth, reach no farther than the roar
of the breakers on the west, and the
Handicapped San Jacinto on the eastf
No, ere our first roses were withered the
voice of the press had taken up the
story aud now they in the uttermost
parts OF the earth have heard. Having
heard, will they not want to sect What
were our fair land with its fairer flowers
but for the press! To the hundreds in
our beautiful city what shall we say?
Such kindness, such generosity, such
helpfulness, surely the angels must have
beheld with delight. Do you ask,
what OF the futureg When our home is
built 1t is our purpose also to welcome
to its care and protection young women
to whom the field of knowledge has
heretofore been forbidden because Of
limited means.
Year after year with the proceeds Of
our annual Flower Festival, we hope to
work q work ia some benevolent de-
partment. There are the aged in our
midst, fainting by the way, sadly in
need of a home. Then at the other
border land. God pity them the helpless
lives not born into home OF love and
care A founding hospital would pro-
tect this class. An now, grateful as
we are, to all who have in any way
assisted us, we shall ask for favofs in
larger measure for next April's Festival.
II next to the Divine is the love Of |
the beautiful; If to our children and
neighbor's children it is desirable to pro-
vide beautiful, educating, refining re-
sort for recreation and enjoyment; il |
the example of the Christ who went |
about ministering to the wants OF the |
weary, detected and needy, is anything,
then for these reasons and others we
shall ask your hearty co cooperation for |
our next festival.
