only that one small church and its cos
mopolitan population, it's need of spirit
ual uplift and aid, and grasp the sig
niflcance of the work that this one

is literally patronized and it and the
baths pay for the rest.

the Eighth ward" said he. Look at
that gas works there, with it's chimney

fight there, but we have gained some;
we have made them put up tall Chin
ney and now most of the poison floats
off into Eastlake park and UP towards
Boyle Heights. Then there is brew
cry over on Also street; that hasn't
helped us any. But our coffee club is
one step above the saloon-yes, a good
many steps above. We have encour-
aged the neighborhood to look up; we
have improved it in many ways. We
