The opening meeting of the Pasa-

Bonnalie on San Pasqual street was a
delightful affair and was pervaded
throughout by the Thanksgiving day
spirit. There was a large attendance.
Rev. S. G. Emerson, pastor of the Lake
avenue Congregational church, was
the principal speaker and took as his
theme, "The Old New England Thanks
giving" He recalled many interesting
"reminiscences of the Thanksgiving sea-
son as he and many of his hearers
knew them in their youth "back east"
told of the sterling gifts New England
mad furnished the rest of the country
and ended by designating Southern
California as the new New England.
Other speeches followed and a social
season which was much enjoyed.

cluded to forfeit his bail in lieu of the
