Church Notes.
Plymouth Congregational church, Rev.
A. J. Wells, pastor, is situated on Twen-
ty-first street, just west of Grand ave-
nue.. 1t holds no evening service on
Sunday. This morning the pastor will
preach upon the subject: "The Spirit
ual man." The sermon will be dis
cussion of what constitutes true Christ
ian. Plymouth church is the one church
of the city with garden annex. The
extensive grounds are full of flowers and
fine shrubbery, and will wear an aspect
of great beauty soon. Only few peo-
pie are found who pick the flowers unin-
vited, and the children have access at
all hours, but respect the beauty and
the rights of others, and leave them un-
disturbed. This is a real gain. When,
Henry Ward Beecher was an obscure
pastor in the west he loyed flowers and
grew them in profusion. His example
proved to be contagious, and the town
began to bloom as never before. One
of his elders, passing the pas
tors house one day, looked over
the fence and remarked: "The pootiest
flower ever seed waz cabbage" The
people of Plymouth church are more
appreciative. The debt upon the church
is now all provided for. The late rose
festival was held by ladies Of this church,
and the proceeds go toward paying this
debt. The sum realized was $4l7.

First Baptist church, on the corner OF

In addition to the regular morning
services, in the evening a special mis-
sionary service will be held, under the
auspices of the Y. P. S. G. E. missionary
committee. An attractive programme
has been prepared, consisting of short
papers by members of the society, and it
is expected that Mrs. Sheldon, of the
First Congregational church, will be
present with some of her Chinese schol-
ars from the Chinese mission connected
with that church. All are cordially in
vited to attend. There will be special
singing by the chorus, and remarks by
the pastor, Rev. j. F. Collins.
FIRST METHODIST.
Rev. NJ F. Colburn, of the San Diego
First Methodist church, will occupy the
pulpit of the First Methodist church to-
day. Rev. Colburn is we'll known to the
old residents OF this city, having been a
t pastor in the University M. E. church at
one time, and being very active in church
work. His removal to San Diego was
felt to be loss at the time it occurred,
and the San Diego people have kept him
as long as the rules of the Methodist
church allow.

pastor will preach at IL am. upon the
subject of Spiritual Emigration. At

followed by discussion of Confessing
