THE EVENING MEETING.
A large crowd filed the auditorium of
the church, to hear the various speakers
who had promised to appear.
Mrs. Clapp sang solo in her usual
excellent manner, with Miss Coleman as
accompanied
Rev. DR.. Craig, of Pomona, was the
first speaker of the evening. He took as
his subject Home Missions. He spoke
of the earliest missions, which have ex-
listed since the introduction of Christian
ity, and held that, while charity begins
at home, her first act is to 60 abroad.
The speaker was of the opinion that if
there was less of secular feeling in many
of our cities there would be no necessity
for so many ministers, all covering the
same ground, and the surplus material
might be used to greater advantage in
many small places, where the word OF
Jesus Christ is never heard.
Rev. W. E. Hodge, recently of Monti-
cello. who has been engaged for many
years in missionary work, was the next
speaker, taking as his subject Foreign
Missions.
He dwelt more particularly with the
work in Chile and other South American
states. The great danger of the people
of this section of the globe drifting into
French in6delity was shown, and the
need OF more missionaries was urged.
A plea was put in for lenient judg-
ment of these states in the late revolu-
tions, the hardships and trials which
these states have gone through being an
excuse for much.
In answer to question as to how the
recent revolution in Chile effected the
missionary work, the gentleman stated
