the church people here and began reg ular services, which, however, were continued but about six weeks. How ever. work was pushed in the matter of the permanent organization of mission and a committee was selected consisting of r. J. Bennitt. N. A. Nor ford, Col. F. C. Hatch, Dr. R. E. Light burne and w. R. Morris to memorial ize Bishop Dunlop for the establish ment of the contemplated mission. The bishops response was characteristic ally prompt and energetic and by the end of May. 1885, he had visited tie people here and organized the mis- sion.
 Owing to i'll health the Rev. Haskins was compelled to go to the coast and the new mission was without regular services until late in 1886. when lay services were begun in Odd Fellows hall in a two story adobe building ol the northwest corner of Washington and Second streets. Dr. .. D. Mitch ell of the Sacaton Indian agency con ducted the services until the summer vacation of 1887.

In December, 1887. Bishop Dunlop sent the Rev, R. w. Pearson to the new mission. Dr. Pearson was then a postulant for orders in the Epis- copal church, which were soon con- ferred on him, and he remained rec tor of the church till the time of his death. which took place in September. 1890, and was deeply deplored by the entire community as well as his church people
 During Dr. Pearson's incumbency the present church edifces were erect ed and paid for. After Dr. Pearson's death Dr. C. D. Belden. a physician, conducted services as lay reader until about October. 1891. when a postu- lant for orders, MT. Alfred Tiff was sent to this mission and served it as lay reader and finally as rector for several years He was succeeded by the Rev w. H. Fenton Smith, who continued rector until the summer va cation of 1S97
 Tn the fall of 1897 the Rev. Edwin A Peniclc was sent to the mission. by Bishop J NJ. Kendrick and has con tipued to conduct the affairs of the mission with signal ability and sue cess.

It is speaking modestly to say that the churches of Phoenix will compare favorably with other cities of like pop uIation in the United States. Almost all the prominent religious organiZa- tions are represented here and all are comfortably housed. Much credit is due the pioneers who made their homes and planted the church in this desert land. And by their labors and Gods sunshine have made it one of the most desirable places to live. Many and interesting would be the pages from the diaries of the ministers who planted the churches here from thirty to forty years ago.
 While the church, like the individ- ual, mad many difficulties to overcome, owing to scant population, want of railroad. mail and telegraph communi- cation. in these early days, it has al ways kept pace with the growth of the country. Of the many things that the true Arizonian is proud of are the churches and school houses, which outside of our government buildings. as a rule. are the most beautiful and expensive structures in the territory. Originally most of the churches, if not all received help from the missionary societies of the various branches; now nearly all are self supporting and their benevolences would put to shame some of the eastern churches. In speaking of benevolence there is one fact worthy of special mention-not only is it true of church. going people, but of the citizens in general: They are large hearted, open n-handed, sym pathetic, generous people. Perhaps there are few places where the oppor- tunity is given to show these traits of character more than in Phoenix, where hundreds come every year brok- en in health and purse, hoping by the aid of the mild climate and wonderful resources to regain health and replen- ish their purses. While these hopes are realized by many. there are some who come too late, and were it not for that spirit of "the brotherhood of man" many would be alone and in want.
 This condition of affairs very much increases the labors of the ministers. Many are the calls made upon them for relief of the suffering, to comfort the dying and bury the dead.
 There are few people, if any, in and around Phoenix who have not the privilege Of hearing the gospel That untiring organization, the Salvation Army, holds street meetings nightly. During the summer months union meetings are often held by several churches on the street or in the park
 Services are held at the county poor farm and Jail Sunday afternoons by the various young peoples societies The pastors in turn preach at the In- dian school.
 Following are short histories of the various church organizations of this city:

 Tradition places the first movement toward establishing a church of the Protestant Episcopal faith in Phoe- nix early in 1880, when a clergyman named William Hill visited the then village of Phoenix to investigate the prospects.
 The Rt. Rev. Geo. K. Dunlop, bishop of New Mexico and Arizona, visited the town a year later and held ser vices, and repeated the visit in May, 1882, when ne inaugurated active measures for organization. Again he visited the community in 1883 and made arrangements for the purchase of some town lots for church purposes.
 Tn November. 1884. he visited the church people here and held services returning in December of the same year, when he baptized and confirmed a number of applicants.

ALL AMERICANS.

A book has lately appeared which
holds pleasure for the casual reader,
and ut the same time Is full Of interest
for social philosophers and students OF
American life. The title Is "Undistin.

chapter Is the life story Of n different

maker, Swedish farmer, an itincrant
preacher. and many others Of wide d.
verslty In race rs well as In Occupa-
ton. but all of them now Americans.
and all Of the common people. 1t Is
by no means the first time that the
ordinary man has been allowed to tell
his own story or had 1t truthfully told
for him. but 1t has never before been
done on so generous scale. One gets
many impressions from the book, some
cheering, some depressing. First OF all
comes new perception Of the bound

to the whole world. All these persons
have got on" by virtue Of having
chances here which they had not In
other countries: and from this percep.
ton comes to the reader new sense OF
patriotism. a new love for the great
country which has made these lives pos
| sible. Another noticeable thing Is the
rapidly with which the dull and the
down-trodden OF other lands are I'm.
bued with the American spirit and be.
come Americans themselves. On the
other hand, one receives an impression
that the amount OF thought ana talk

NEEDED REFORM.

There Is much to be said In favor Of
some such reform In court procedure as
that suggested by Judge Gibbons, the
we'll known Chicago jurlst, Of limiting
the requirement of unanimous verdict
by petit juries to capital and felony
cases. and providing some reasonable
method OF abiding In all civil and minor
criminal causes. by verdict OF a ma
jority Of. say, three-fourths Of the jury.
There Is force In the suggestion by some
members Of the bar that care should be
taken that in all cases the opinions ana
arguments Of minority OF jury shall
have ample opportunity OF being thor
Oughly gone over and thrashed out by
tn whole body, and II that Is assured
there would be less probability than
now that any substantial injustice
would be done even In felony cases.
Probably every lawyer In active prac-
tice will agree that the ends OF justice
have often been defeated or unreason-
ably and oppressively delayed, and must
continue SO 10 be under the rule that
enables one man to "hang' the jury and,
mt the best, force the whole costly pro-
ceedlng to be again gone over. In civil
causes the complaint has long been
made that the intermlnable delays and
Increasing cost OF litigation have made
IL cheaper to submit TO many gross
wrongs and exactions than TO undertake
u vindIcate rights in the courts For
the poor man, dependent on his regular
employment, IL Is often said that these
delays and expenses amount to prohibit
ton, and there Is no shadow OF doubt
that the fact Is responsible for no small
part OF the prevalent discomfort with
existing conditions. The requirement OF
a unanimous verdict in all cases Is
largely responsible for those conditions
Unanim!ty on the part OF jury Is a
time honored requirement, II Is true,
but IL Is not an American institution.
1t came down 10 us from the monarch
ial mother country and had ample JUS
titicatlon there In the conditions Of
earlier ages. But we should not over
look the fact that unanimity is not
required for the action OF a grand jury,
which at any time may put any man
in peril OF his life, while the legal con
dltlons that were held to make unanim'
lty imperative for trial jurles have
largely passed away In this country, 50
far as they ever existed here More
over, this Is emphat!cally and distinct
