lie CONGREGATIONAL SOCIETY
Notes Gathered About the City
While Wandering Among
the Churches.

The congregations at the various
churches do not show any decrease in
size, as yet, although, as the summer
approaches, it is to be expected that they
will grow smaller. Yesterdays weather
was perfect and, in consequence, all of
the church-goers were in attendance at
the various edifces of worship through
out the city. The number of churches
in Los Angeles is gradually increasing,
and three handsome buildings are now
in course of erection. The First Con-
gregational Church, on Sixth street,
corner OF Hill, will hold when completed,
about 1900 people, and it will be hand
some edifice. Simpson Tabernacle, on
Hope street, will be one of the handsom-
est edifices for church purposes on the
coast, and the Church of the Unity, on Sew
enth street, will be an imposing structure.
There will be no lack of church accom-
modations when the Fall visitation of
Eastern people is at its height this year.
