A DELIGHTFUL ANNUAL CHURCH MEET
 The annual meeting of the Congrega-
 tional church was held, Thursday, Janu-
 ary 3d. There was . remarkably full
 attendance. The session opened at II a.
 m. The clerk presented the record of
 the past years proceedings which was
 received. The treasurer's report was
 then presented, and approved. On this
 report it was shown that the church had
 contributed between $60O and S700 for
 charitable objects and missionary
 causes through the year, and other or-
 ganizations in connection with the
 church almost $200 additional. There
 was then an election for clerk for the ensuing year, J. N. Woodruff, the pres ent clerh, being reelected. Mir Mason,
 president of the Christian Endeavor so- ciety, gave report of it's work during the year. The term of one member of the standing committee having expired there was an election to fill the vacancy, and Orestes Hickox was elected to suc- ceed himself. The election of deacons followed: For first deacon, Dea Hickox was elected, but communication was received from him declining to serve. This declination was received with the greatest regrets. Dea Hickox had served the church as deacon for almost 30 years. Resolutions affirming the ap- preciation by the church of his long and faithful service were unanimously adopted, and Dea Hickox was made an honorary deacon for life. Dea Seeley was then elected first deacon, Dea Net tleton second deacon, Dea Hollister third deacon, but MT Hollister finding it impossible to accept, he was excused, and Clarence Nettleton was elected to that position. Elnathan Mitchell, was elected fourth deacon, and also treasur- ar of the church. The election of dea- cons lasted on into the afternoon. It was suspended at noon, and roll call l of the members of the church was made, resulting in remarkably large response. A great number were present in person, l md of those absent, the larger part, in 'sct almost all had sent some communi- l cation to this roll call. It was a most | interesting feature of the meeting, and | brought cut responses from the members f the church all the way between the and the Pacific oceans. Out of IA names on the roll over 200 were leard from. After the roll call the ades of the church invited the congre- ration over into the ladies' parlor, and here was an abundant repast provided or all who were present. In the after loon other business was transacted, and he preparatory lecture for the Commu-
 ion of the coming Sunday was given by he pastor. It was 8 delightful day, and
 rought together in social way most
 leasantly all the members of the con- legation. It is hoped that the roll call lay become an annual institution in the hurch in the future.

A POVERTY SOCIAL HELPS SWELL THE
 ORGAN FUND.
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-03-19
THE CONVENTION.

The people of all. sections of California
will watch with more than ordinary inter-
est the proceedings of the Manufacturers
Convention which assemblies to-day. The
source of this interest is to be sought for
in the timeliness of the convention as well
as in the Importance of the subjects it
will be called upon to discuss, for feeling
prevails that we are entering upon new
order of things, and that with other ex-
pected changes Will come development of
industry which will give us manufacturing
enterprises worthy of our resources and
our opportunities.
In every section of the Pacific Coast
there is felt growing need of an industry.
sufficiently diversified to work up the raw
material of the Coast in quantities sufficient
at any rate to supply the needs of the great
West. This feeling is not the result of an
unreasoning sentiment. 1t is infused, to
be sure, with local patriotism, but has its
origin in business conditions too pressing
to be ignored and too plain to be mistaken.
There was time when it would not pay to
invest largely in manufacturing establish
ments on this Coast, because there was not
a sufficient consumption of goods to sup
port them. That condition, however, has
passed away for many articles of staple
use, and is rapidly passing for all of them.
We have now population large enough
to constitute a profitable market and to
furnish abundant labor for manufacturing.
Under these conditions, therefore, the de-
sire for diversified industry increases
every day, and the expectancy with which
the results of the convention are awaited,
is natural
Whatever may be the actual outcome of
the discussions which begin to-day the
influence that will be exerted by them is
certain to be large. The debates in the
convention will formulate public senti-
ment on the subject of manufacturing
enterprises and go far in determining
whether they are to be fostered or dis
couraged. If the voices of sanguine, pro-
gressive, self-confdent men predominant,
public opinion will take that tone and
helpful, resolute spirit will grow up among
the people that in itself will go far toward
making success certain. If on the other
hand, timid men with doubts and fears and
hesitatlons come to the front, the public
will be discouraged and capital will grow
too cautious to venture much. It is i'm
portant, therefore, that the convention
should put the right men to the front.
All that California and the Coast need is
the leadership of. men of energy and
business ability in order to achieve as
great successes in manufacturing as in
anything else, and that leadership, we trust,
will show itself in the convention and
make itself felt throughout the State.

otherwise than as raisins; and that the
marketing shall be done by a central body
1t was plan similar to this that brought
order and profit out of the orange industry
and another that made the Eastern mar
keting of fresh fruits safe. The recent
combination of wine-makers was on similar
lines. The points secured in all these COM
binations are the marketing of the best
products and the consequent upholding of
the States reputation, the packing done
scientifically by experts and the market
studied and treated Systematically. All of
these combinations have done wonderful
good in every way.
The basis of their success is the good
faith OF the members. Hitherto, in the
ralsin industry particularly, the combina-
tons have not been sufficiently strong to
force unfaithful members into honest WAYS,
and discipline is an essential factor of such
organizations. 1t has been many wears
since the sugar-planters of Louisiana abol-
lshed their individual boiling works and
ran pipe lines to central establishments,
where the cane juice was reduced to crude
sugar. 1t has been less than a year since
the dairymen of the region contiguous to
San francisco formed themselves into
district organizations, established central
stations and equipped them with the best
machinery. The results of all such organi-
cations are better product, a larger profit
| and Surer market

THE CALI CONFIRMED.

The decision of the Supreme Court in
the Oakland water front case, handed
down by Chief Justice Fuller yesterday, is
in exact accordance with what was tele-
graphed by our Washington correspondent
some weeks ago. When we announced at
that time that the case would be dismissed
on the ground of the lack of jurisdiction
several of our contemporaries referred to
the report as ''fake.' This was rather
hardy instance of presumption on their
part, for the CALL never INDUCES in fakes
nor seeks scoops at the expense of ac-
curacy.
We knew the truth of the story before
we published it. The sources of our
information were trustworthy. If we did
not receive the news from the literal
highest authority" it came from so
near the highest that we were assured
of its accuracy. We acquired the informa-
ton ahead of our contemporaries simply
because our Washington correspondent is
engaged in seeking out the truth of i'm
portant matters concerning the Pacific
Coast, and not in running around after
sensations and such bits of gossip and rumor
as may be circulating in the clubs or the
corridors of the hotels.
Of course, it is not possible for us to
diVulge the source OF our information on
so important matter, even though our
correspondent should be cited before the
august tribunal of the Supreme Court itself
to answer. 1t is sufficient to say that what
We published more than month ago has
been confirmed by the decision which we
publish to-day. The critics of the CALL are
confounded and the accuracy of our report
is affirmed to the letter.
