The Summer Attendance
Commencing.

There was slight falling oil In tht
attendance at the churches yesterday
due to the fact that quite q number o
the residents have gone to resorts for the
summer months. The falling off in the
attendance, however, was not so grea
as to be particularly noticeable nor as
large as it will be after the schools close
for the summer vacation. The cloudi-
ness Of the weather together with the
sprinkle which occurred about
eleven O'Clock also had its
bad effect on the attendance
at the churches, but last evening the SER
vices were very largely attended. At the
First Presbyterian Church in the morn
ing Rev. S. II. Wheeler preached, but in
the evening the church was occupied by
the pupils Of the Los Angeles College and
their friends. Rev. w. O. Stevens de-
