under the energetic measures taken by
the rector of st. Paurs, has started a
mission iR the church formerly occu-
pied by the Congregational Mission At
Twenty-second and X streets. The
mission bears the name of 'St. An

ST. Pauls Parish. Mr.. Mel, in his
usual whole-souled manner, worked for
an entire day getting the church build

and it is presumed that he overworked
and took cold, as he is now reported to
be lying seriously i'll of pneumonia. It
is to be hoped that his recovery will
be rapid as he can scarcely be spared

in a parish that has sadly needed the
untiring efforts of an energetic cler-
gyman to bring it into a condition of
prosperity, both financially and spir-

programme in behalf of Miss Mary
Dunster, who is now falling rapidly in
hospital in Los Angeles. Her devoted
friend, Miss Mccormack, is with her
and writes that Miss Dunster has prob
ably not many more days in store. AS
the hospital expenses are large a purse
was made in the club to be sent to
Miss Dunster TO help her in her sore
need. Miss Dunster has many friends
in Sacramento, and II would be a deli
cate and substantial way Of showing
their friendship for the sick girl to fol-
low the example of the club and do
what is possible to assist her now in
her extremity. Let us all remember
