WEATHER AND CROPS
Conditions Prevailing Throughout
Southern California

Continued cloudy nights and mornings
were beneficial to all crops, particularly to
late grain, sugar beets, beans and corn
besides retarding too rapid an evaporation
of the surface moisture. Bean planting is
about over in the northern sections. where
heavy fogs benefited both beans and young
corn. Quite good crop of barley is grow
ing on recently cut stubble; prunes, apples
pears and some kinds of plums will be a
short crop. Peaches and apricots promise
fairly well. No very warm weather has
yet occurred. Irrigation progresses and
water is plenty.

fetal. Prunes. apples pears and some
kinds of plums will be very short in this
section. Peaches and aprcots promise
an average yield of good fruit. We have
not had really warm day this year.

better for alfalfa hay makers. The foggy

tobacco planters. There will be light

pondence.) The waters of the Colorado
river have to date been some four feet
higher than the highest point reached
last season. The high water has driven
the Mojave Indian from his adobe hut
to the hill tops. the Chumhuevis from the
bottom lands of the Chumhuevie valley
to higher ground, and caused the Yumae
to fcrsake the mesquite lands near the
ancient fort and take refuge on the
mesas. The cattle along the river and
the stockmen, both white and Mexican,
have retreated to the dry lands, but all
these laugh, for they say when this Nile
of the desert shall recede again to its
channel then the chance for great
crop of grass, pumpkins and water
melons is good.
The high water came at the Indian
wheat harvest. The Mojaves have har-
vested theirs and put 1t on top of sheds
up out of the waters reach. In the
Chumhuevis country the wheat was
early, and we saw the novel sight of
boats being foated about in the wheat
field, while its occupants, with slckles,
cut the wheat off at the waters surface
and put it in the boat.

fIRs1 METHODIST SERMON.
Preached by John Wesley Over a
Century and n Half Ago.

Century and n Half Ago.
On the 18th of March, 1876, John Wcs-
ley preached the first Methodist sermon
ever preached on this continent. 1t
was delivered not far from the site of
the present Christ church. Savannah, of
which he subsequently, was the third
rector, and was addressed to mixed
assemblage. His congregation hardly
exceeded 400 persons, including chill
dren and adults, reinforced, however.
by 100 or more of the neighboring In
dams. Wesley discussed in most elo-
quent manner the principles of Chris
tian charity as argued by Saint Paul in
the 18th chapter of First Corinthians.
He made powerful appeal, and many
of his audience were in tears. While he
was not SO impetuous in his delivery
as in after years, his abilities at that
time bespoke the great preacher and
reformer.
If he was more scholastic in style than
in after years, the fervor and force of
his appeals were none the less felt by
his hearers. Especially was this strik.
ingly true when in the course Of his
discourse he adverted to the death of his
father, who for 40 years or more had
been the incumbent of the Epworth rec
tory. This venerable man was asked
not long before his death: "Are the
consultations of God small with you?'
mo, no, mol" he exclaimed, with up
lifted hands, ''and then" continued
Wesley, calling all that were near hin
by their names, the dying patriarch
said: think of Heaven, talk OF
Heaven; all time is lost when We are not
thinking of Heavenl' This was spoken
by Wesley in tremplous voice, and his
new parishioners at Savannah were for
the instant almost swept off their feet
by tidal wave of religious enthusiasm
Tradition has it that several Indians
who were present became so greatly
excited, not only by Mr.. Wesley's Inn
passioned oratory-though they did not
understand word he said-but by his
gestures, that one old warrior neryously
clutched his tomahawk, fearing an out
break in the strangely-moved audience
