Meanwhile the Yankees continued TO pour Into

which in the light Of after events is full oil naive
pathos.

sawmills. saving lumber and doing thousand
things which seem natural to them"
Pico wanted to seek refuge under the Union
Jack and turn the country over TO England.
General Vallejo answered this speech by ringing
oration which ended as follows: Look not,
therefore, with jealousy upon the hardy pioneers
who scale our mountains and cultivate our plains,
but rather welcome them Us brothers who come
to share with us common destiny.

banker and the Rev. John Kershaw, Brooklyn PASTOR
The large audience seemed greatly pleased with tho
evident earnestness Of the evangeSts and their ap-
parent desire 20 avoid all sensaonais. The pictures
hsed during the evening were recognized by many as
faithful reproductions Of the masterpieces of sacred art
illustrating the earthly life OF the Saviour. During the
winter the Bible readings which occupy ten evenings
m their delivery have been given in several churches
I'm New-York and Brooklyn, with gratifying results In
every case judging by the apprecatve words OF the
pastors; at one church about 200 persons profesSed

other faithful helper In the meetings Is Miss Mary l..
Fox formerly of Oakland, Cal, who was converted az
