A large portion OF the evening session
was given UP to discussion of the
state of religion existing in the Presby-
terian church.
The committee appointed to make ar
rangements in connection with the in
stallation Of Rev. Duncan A. McRae as
pastor of the Third Presbyterian church
of Los Angeles recommended that the
installation take place on the 10th of
November, which was adopted.
Rev. Alexander Parker presented a
report on home missions, which showed
that the financial affairs of the society
of home missions were In a, very bad
condition, and an order has recently
been issued that all running expenses
of the body be reduced ten per cent
This will affect all ministers drawing
support from the home mission fund
The committee recommended that a
strong effort be made to increase the
subscription to this fund, and two rallies
Will be held in Emmanuel church on
Friday, October 30th and Sunday, No
vember 1st for the purpose of doing
this. -
The following amounts were, approved i
by the home mission committee for aid
of churches under the support of the
Home Mission society:
Santa Maria church, Rev w. $.
Whiteside, $500.
Santa Monica church, Rev. o. S. Wis.
ner, $3.50.
National City church. Rev. D. M.
Whiteside, $3.50.
These recommendations were referred
back to the Home Mission com.nittee
with power to act.
Other routine business was transacted
and then the presbytery adjourned, sub
ject to the call of the moderator. The
next regular meeting will be held at

HINTS ON HOUSE FURNISHING

A bit of old brocade or silk damask
used as a table cover on y little Chin
pendale stand not only preserves IN
polish but has an air in keeping with
the precious antique.
The old-fashioned grandfther's char
is revived, and as 1T is capacious and
shields it's occupants from draughts
it is the ideal arm chair for big han
in country house.
Mantel slips of velvet are desirable
additions to many mantel pieces, "a
they cover up a great amount OF ugli-
ness and are lovely In themselves,
often serving as the keynote OF the
color scheme of the apartment
Fabrics for bedroom hangings need
not necessarily be cretonne; some OF
the striped cotton or jute tapestries are
charming and are especially effective,
mounted as screens or serving as por-
there's.
The back of am upright piano is an
admirable place for showing off a fine
piece of tapestry or old brocade, and
as there is no wear on the material 1t
is an excellent way of displaying and
at the same time of preserving an
heirloom.
No bedroom is complete without a
box ottoman, covered with cretonne or
denim to match the hangings. They
are to all appearance identical with
the orthodox bedroom couch and every
bit as comfortable. Lined with SUIT
able material they form most useful
addition to the wardrobe and closets
In furnishing a bedroom three i'm
portant Things ought to be borne In
mind. First, that the furniture should
meet the requirements of the room and
its occupants; second, that the whole
should be harmonious and pretty; and
third, that the sanitary conditions
should be attended to down to the
smallest particular.
And, by the way, how many OF us
who discourse learnedly of Chippendale
chairs, Sheraton cabinets or Nipple
white buffets can distinguish the three
different styles of the eighteenth cen
fury? Even furniture dealers are
sometimes at sea, and If mahogany
(. cts are present THE article is Chip
pendale; if inlaid, Sheraton; If carved,
renaissance; if mounted in ormolu,
French, and as the public knows no
better the jargon goes.

NIGHTFALL ON THE FARM.

Upon the porch at even
We two together stood.
And listened to the tinkle
OF sheep bells in the wood.
The locust trees bent Ger US,
White blossoms dropping down.
And, fringed with flowers before us
The path lay hare and brown
We heard the sheep-bells music
Far of and dreamy grow;
We saw the white flowers sprinkle
The lawn like flecks of snow
The roses drew back Shyly
Into the silent dark.
But though their haunts were shaded
Their perfume we could mark.
Tn IN a locust's branches
A little bird said 'cheep'--
Twas all that broke the silence
The whole world seemed asleep J.

But swift she leaned toward me
With tears upon her cheek
