pointed kitchen attached to it. Under
the entire building there is high base
ment, containing the steam heating ap-
paratus, coal room, storage room, etc,
and Portland cement floor covers the
whole.
The auditorium is entered through
spacious vestibule hoored with marble
mosaic in pleasing colors. 1t is in the
form of a Greek cross, one arm of which
is occupied by the pulpit, organ and
choir. The Sunday School room and
parlors are SO related to the auditorium
that all may at any time be thrown to-
gether and used in common on special
occasions, thereby largely increasing the
seating capacity. The divisions are
made by means of large sliding and fold
ing doors.
At the intersection of the arms of the
cruciform and embracing tie full with
of what might be termed the nave and
transepts, there rises a square tower
which is supported upon four large
pointed arches, back of one of which is
the organ. The ceiling under the tower
is raised high and heavily panelled and
decorated, and lighted by the clerestory
tower windows. This treatment serves
to emphasize the pulpit and organ in an
effective manner.

On an oak background which is fasten
ed to the wall of the vestibule is bolted
an antique brass, richly chiseled by
hand. The inscription reads asfollows:
Erected by son as memorial to
his father

for the I'm versalst Church and
its Faith and in memory of
his mother

This wreath consists Of two sprays one
right and one left touching the Greek
cross above. while the stems are tied
with ribbon below.
The tablet is finished in light shade
of antique bronze which shows the hand
workmanship to its best advantage.
The stained glass is in harmony with
the decorations and architecture, rich in
design and warm and soft in tone.
The Memorial Window.
The universal custom of commemorat.
ing in some form those who have passed
away from the present life is illustrated
10 the beautiful memorial window which
is placed in the west wall of the church.
This window is from the design of Mr..
Frederick Wilson, and was made by the
Tiffany Glass and Decorating Company
of New York. The artist has chosen for
his subject, figure of the Redeemer. in
illustration of the text: Il am come
that they might have life and that they
might have it more abundantly."
The figure is we'll drawn ard majestic:
at the same time the whole attitude is
that of compassion; the arms of the Sa-
viour are extended as if he were ready
to embrace all mankind in his infinite
love. and the expression of the face is
earnest and tender. The figure is posed
against background in which may be
seen the Jordan and the hills OF Judea,
and above them, forming the direct
background for the upper portion of the
figure. there is sky which is full of
movement, so much so, that the clouds
are apparently passing by, and the light
that is behind them is constantly break
ing through.

WHITE-HEArH, JAN. l6,

WHITE HEATH, JAN. l6.
To the Y. P. G. U. of Illinois:
In March, 1894, Rev. Mr.. Buckner, the
State President, was requested to come
here and hold service To the aston
ishment of those chiefly interested, the
trustees and pastor of the United Broth
rem church peremptorily refused to al
low the use of their church on the
grounds that it was not Christian
work.
Our only recourse was to go to the
town hall, and its owner, Mr.. j. M. Cline.
very generously rendered US the use of
it for the meeting. Three services were
held, Saturday evening and Sunday az
ternoon and evening. Sunday afternoon
at the close of the sermon Rev. Mr..
Buckner announced his desire to organ
ize Union. The working people of the
Orthodox society refused to be connected
with such movement. Notwithstand-
ing this opposition Union was organ
lied consisting of nine members, and
with the following as officers: e. r. De
Land, President and j. M. Bradley. Vice
President. During the next two months
we held meetings with varied success.
We we're all new to the work; most of the
working members were busy on farms
and could not give it the attention nee
essarY TO make good Union, and by
June, it seemed as if those who were
fighting us right and left would see the
Union fail. In the meantime we organ
lied Sabbath school which struggled
along with an average attendance of
about bakers dozen.
But there are very few movements
which do not have reaction, and when
the reaction set in here it was. or rather
has become, very alarming to the other
side. Our Union roll now shows forty
names and the Sunday school attendance
is forty. five.
We pay three dollars a month for rent
and have paid for splendid Crown
Chapel organ. Besides we have had
preaching every two weeks by Rev. Mr..
Buckner; and special service by DIR.
Cook of LIE Roy.
The question of building church is
being agitated and will undoubtedly be
carried out.

quently and always have good success
socially and financially. We elect officers
every six months; the old officers were
reelected with the addition of Charles
Blacker as Secretary.
We have splendid choir and this has
been great help to US. We shall be
glad to hear from other Unions through
the columns Of the Union and UNIvER-
sALIsT and hope the story of our Union
may encourage many others who are
weak and faltering to take up the work
anew and overcome all opposition. Let
our battle cry be Coward Ever On
ward" Yours for work.

this is town Of about one hundred in

it had to meet SO many obstacles. Other
Unions that are trying hard to get along
can take courage from this one.
We agree with Mr.. Bradley that the
one thing which will bear good fruit to
each Union is to have the Secretaries
keep up lively correspondence and ex-
change their ideas in regard to the work
of the Unions.

WHY NOT BUILD THAT SALT LAKE.
RAILWAY?

The Herald has persistently rung the
changes on the Salt Lake railway project,
because it believed that 1t is the one en-
terprise that Los Angeles needs to place
her at once where it would otherwise
take score or more years hard work to
ieach-that is in possession of the key to
commercial supremacy on this coast. The
construction of such a road would effect
ually and permanently divert from San
Francisco TO this city the only trade that
is now left unquestioned TO the old toll
taker by the sea. 1t would give Los An
geles cheap coal and inexhaustIble IRON
the two factors in producing a great man.
ufacturing center. 1t would form the
shortest and most comfortab BILE trunk line
to Chicago and New York. 1t would de-
velop great untouched stretch of coun-
try which is full OF the richest mines and
of the most fertile valleys of the west.
1t would do all this and much more, and
yet the people of Los Angeles have not
lifted finger to bring about this happy
result.
So apathetic has the public been that
The Herald, to satisfy itself whether the
enterprise wcs really appreciated by the
People, udu reporter interview num-
Der of the merchants, bankers and capi-
talists on the point of whether they de-
sired the road, and if they would assist
such project. Some of these interviews
appear this morning, and others will fol-
low. They leave no doubt as to the gen.
eral desire for the consummation of the
enterprise, and the willingness OF the ma
jority of the solid men of the city to as
sist in carrying it to a successful end, but
the difficulty that presents itself is, How
shall 1t be done? This question is one
that the people must answer themselves.
1t is problem easily solved if the right
men tackle it, and the right men are
here-plentv of them. They only need to
be brought out of their hammocks, to
have their financial siesta disturbed, to
have both their duty and the profit that
there is in doing their duty. shown to
them, and in twelve months overland
trains between Salt Lake City and Los
Angeles would be loaded down with pas
sengers and freight, and the happy stock
holders would twice year have to form
in line to get their dividends.

WHY ALL THIS CRIME?

The summer hereabouts has so far been
characterized by many deeds of violence
which cannot be accounted for on the
score of the irritating effect of hot
weather, for the temperature could not
have been more comfortable if Farmer
Franklin of the weather bureau had
arranged it himself.
There have been in the past two months
three murders and two com bined mur-
ders and suicides in this city and vlcin-
ity. besides number of attempts to kill
where the intent was to murder. This
sort of thing will 60 all right IN San
Francisco, the people up there are accus-
toned to such things, but Los Angeles
people do not like such bloodiness in
their midst. In fact. we have had what
the new reporter would call carnival of
crimes, and there appears to be no sur
cease.
That such a condition should be found
in this charming region. where every
prospect pleases, is a curious and dis
pleasing anomaly. There must be some
microhe of murder, some bacillus of
boodthirst abroad in the land that the
divines and moralsts should study and
devise means of extirpation.

sociation seem to have gone about their
work in very systematic manner. and
if they use the same good discretion in
selecting the methods of expending the
money as they have shown in raising it
the project will prove profitable one.
We would suggest that instead of resort
ing to the usual California method Of is
suing circulars and pamphlets they place
the money in the hands of one OF two re-
liable advertising agents. Much better
results will pc obtained. Pamphlets are
very good mediums in their way, but
they can never take the place of the daily
newspaper. A pamphlet, as a rule, is re-
tanned by the one receiving it from ten
minutes to ten days, according to the
elaborate character of the booklet and the
taste of the receiver.
1t is stated that the proprietors of the
Royal Baking powder have made every
letter of the word royal worth $1,000, 600.
at least one can figure that way in view
of the fact that $40, 600, OoO was refused for
the plant and good will of the company.
1t is only by persistent advertising in
the daily papers and standard pull lea
tions that they have built up bLs ness
valued at more than $40. 600. 00U. his
firm may or may not use pamphlet IS a
supplementary means of advertisin- but
they reach the mass through the ally
papers. The same principle holds good
with all successful advertisers. Nov $780,
900 will print 500 900 very tastefully de-
signed pamphlets and will reach 500, 900
just once. The same amount expended
by reliable advertising agent can be
made to reach 10000 900 people every day
in the week for the next three months.
The amount of money which the fruit
growers association of Santa Clara coun-
ty propose to raise will if judiciously ex-
pended sell every pound of her fruits at
good prices and create demand for them
another year.

THE FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Held Its Second Unofficial Meeting
Yesterday
Summer Reading Was the Subject and Many
Members Spoke to It-house lndus-
tries Next Week

The second unofficial, but none tn e less
enjoyable vacation meeting. was held
yesterday III the Friday Morning club
rooms, with goodly nu umber of the men,
bers present. Summer reading was the
subject under discussion, and the diverse
suggestions made and the divers reasons
given therefore, were almost as numerous
as the speakers. One advocated the XII
time order Of literature; another, a change
of weight rather than quality; Others who
had pet aversions for certain branches
earnestly upheld the advisability OF TAX
ing up any kind of reading but what per-
tains to Such branches; and SO forth and
so on. Each individual taste was made
manifest and DR.. Dorothea Lummis, who
paid visit to the club. was rapturously
greeted and Immediately pounced upon
to give her views on the subject, which
she briefly did, and touched also Oh her
pleasant experiences with certain literary
people in the east.
Next week home industries and produc-
tions will be discussed, and when the an
nouDcemeDt was made yesterday the idea
was felt TO be a timely one, since. in the
instance of the Whittier school, the girls,
it was stated are generally taught to be
servants, and few people want to EN- ploy
them from there. Their trade is there
fore practically useless. and the sugges-
tion was made that if the girls could be
taught Horticulture or any out ofdoor in
dustry. they would more easily find ave-
nues along which to work after leaving.
The packing of lemons was cited as an
admirable opening for women; it seems
that the European packers place that
very delicate fruit in padded boxes for
shipment, and it is handled with the
greatest care, whereas in California much
of it is ruined or seriously hurt by the
careless treatment 1T receives.
