THE BREAD OF LIFE
THOSE WHO WILL SERVE TT TO
THE METHoDIsTs
Presbyterian Pastors Flocking In by
the Score to Attend the Annual
Synod

SAN BERNARDINO, Sept N.-The
Methodist churches of this city are not
prospering as they should financially or
spiritually. There has been for years
great inharmony in the ranks Of the faith
full, and in consequence the financial re-
ceipts have not been commensurate with
the needs of the societies. The field IL not
an inviting one in which to send a new
pas tor but there Is an awful amount Of
good that can be accomplished If the right
man can be found to unite the warning ele-
ments and convince his congregation that
life consisteth not in the abundance Of
what he possesseth.' The new assign
ment of pastor for the M. Z. church is
Rev. Alfred Inwood, stationed last year
at Long Beach, but what will delight the
society here the most is the removal of
Presiding Elder Caswell, who has been
very unpopular and caused the greater
portion of the trouble in the church here.
He Ii succeeded by Rev. Mr.. Sterling, a
man universally well liked.
The Methodist Church South is to have
Rev. Mr.. Finlay for pastor the coming
year, to succeed Rev. j. w. Balm. The
latter was well liked here but was obliged
to send his family to the east-as he could
not support them here. May his successor
be more fortunate.
The city Is filling up today with Presby-
terian clergymen to attend the synod which
meets this week with about eighty dele
gates, clerical and lay. Exercises will be-
gin this evening with q sermon by Rev.
c. M. Fisher Of Los Angeles. Tomorrow
evening they will hold patriotic service
in the park, when there will be music by
the band and short addresses by Rev. H.
Is. Gage of Riverside and Rev. Z. S. Fer
rand Of Los Angeles. This will be fol-
lowed by services In the church, when Rev.
II. X. Walker of Emmanuel church, Los
Angeles, will preach, followed by DIR. s. F.
Johnson. a returned African missionary.
An alarm Of fire last evening called at
tention to the burning of a barn at the
corner of Seventh and B strets, belonging
to w. j. Curtis, but on the premises rent
ed to z. B. Stuart. A COW in the barn was
gotten out safely but the hay and other
contents was destroyed.
Supervisors Cooley and Newburg left
last night on tour OF the state looking
up styles of furniture for fitting out the
new rooms In the courthouse. They will
Inspect the principal courthouses of the
state before their return.
Rev. A. w. Edelman of Los Angeles, who
conducted the services of Rosh Hashonah
and Yom Kippur for the Jewish, church of
this city, left for home today. The at
tendance at all the services was large, and
the reverend speaker is popular both with
his own faith and large circle of ac-
quaintances he has here.
A suit has been filed by F. L. Clark and
Samuel Crossley against ]. r. Lane, Y. c..
Mosely and Peter King, for work done on
the Ironclad mine and mill adjoining it.
amounting to over $500.

meeting on last Saturday evening.

bar and attacked Seehorn who pushed
him away couple of times, but finding

with cut across his face. They tried to
hush the matter up but it leaked out last
night and will be investigated by those IN
authority and probably a change he mada
