for me, although ! am Congregational
ist, | believe that when Gabriel blows his
trumpet the first crowd to go in will De
the Methodists. If We could only stand

Rev. Homer Eaton. ID, of New YORK
then spoke a few words in behalf OF the
same work.
"Some time ago | was visiting con-
ference in Louisiana. l CHANGED to drop
into colored brothers church and was
surprised to hear him announce his text
from Paul's Epistle to the Collisions.
Collision is good. | va thinking OF
collision in my appearap in this city
tonight. Hard and Crawford mad n col
fusion and the result was that was an
nounced to speak tonight. am not a
public speaker. l am plain business
man, | live in New. York and have
nothing to do with the Church Extension
society. | have been away from home
about six weeks, have visited the North
River conference, the California confer
ence and others and they all seem to
think that man from New York can
rise at moments notice and speak on
any subject. L am always glad to speak
in the interest of anything to assist the
cause of the church work.
The success OF our church work is large
Iy due to the fact that it has been housed.
Twenty years ago [ came to Los An
geles as q tourist for my health. | spent
a few days about the city. / thought it
would be II good thing to Dive out and
see the old San Gabriel miss on. /
passed hills covered with brush and new
err imagined hat twenty years from that
time / would stand in a church on those
hills that would seat $500 people. Pasa
dena has grown upon those hills in that
time and is the pride of the whole state.
You have nearly 1000 members. Suppose
n q ba p N N Ua
will not build church, we will worship
in tents upon the open pail. Where
would be your mem bership today?
John Wesley builded better than he
knew, but we kIow better than not to
build.
TIE Church Extension society has done
great work in the South In eduoatin !,
the millions of slaves suddenly freed from
bondage and teaching them how to 1.-Two
to enjoy their freedom. l tremple to
think OF what might have been the con-
sequences had not Christian missionaries
been sent down there.
The Church Extension society has
greatly aided IN spreading the gospel in
the mining districts. See to i. that at
every church the work of the Church Ex-
tension society is properly presented and
that they give as the Lord has prospered
them.'
