PACIFIC COAST MISSIONARY NOTES.
Rev. Asa M. Bradley. the coast Mis-
sionary, writes from Los Angeles: "This
is not Oregon. The people of Southern
California do not like to get wet, and as
it was rainy and muddy at our last Sun
day evening service we had small con-
gregation. I found Mrs. Rice, the pas
tors wife, seriously ill with fever
from which she is now recovering.
1.-THE project for buying church at
Los Angeles has fallen through. Our
good orthodox friends refused to sell
their building to Universalists. So you
see prejudice is not all dead even out
here. I met many of our friends at a
Valentine social that was largely atten-
died.
SANTA PAULA.
II was called to this place to assist at
a series of church extension meetings
conducted by the Woman's Association
of California, opening Sunday, January
26, and closing February 2. Rev. L. M.
Andrews, the Santa Paula pastor. and
Mrs. HI. B. Manford. President of the
w. G. A., we're assisted by Rev. Brothers
Jones, Garst and DR.. Conger. Great
interest was manifested by the people,
several uniting with the church at the
close of the series. A number of Cent.
a-Day pledges we're secured. A new fea-
ture of the Santa Paula work is the
Junior Y. P. G. U. of forty members
that proves to be great help to the
church.
RIVERSIDE.
THE Y. P. G. U. hold monthly socials
at this place at which special literary
program is rendered at each session. On
the evening of my visit the subject was
Hawaii. Interesting papers were pre-
sented descriptive of the products and
people of the Islands. Two of these
were by brother and niece of Presi-
dent Dole.
"In consideration of my former resi-
ticipate. The literary entertainment
was followed by games and social.
One hundred and twenty we're present.
Bro Garst and the Riverside church are
fortunate in having the assistance of so
active company of young people.
POMONA.
One Of the pleasantest memories of
my previous trip to this section was the
meeting with the friends of the Pomona
church and was glad Of the opportuni-
ty to greet them once more. The church
edifce is unpretentious. without stained
glass, church spire or debt. The alb
sence of the last more than compensates
for lack of those things 1t is we'll To-
Gated. cosy and homelike. The ladies
are diligent in making improvements
| that add to the attractions.
1.-THE Y. P. G. U. meeting was particu-
larly enjoyable, our young people being
alive to their responsibilities. The pas
tor improved the opportunity to secure
several Cent a-Day pledges, Rev. Mr..
Saunders has strong hold upon the af
fections of his people, and the work is
prospecting"
KANSAS CITY, MO.
Mrs. Quinby met with the Kansas
City Mission Circle in February. The
Circle consists of fourteen members
with good prospect of doubling their
numbers soon. The ladies are enthusi-
astic, and show as much zeal as though
they we're not themselves connected
with mission church. The President
expected to meet the last week in Feb
ruary with the ladies of Topeka, Kansas.
to assist in organizing.
