land. the president of the union, pre-
| sided.
Presiding Elder Thomson of the Pasa-
dena conference district made an en-
couraging report of the recent Methou-
list camp meeting at Huntington Beach
with the statement that 1t was expected
that by the time of the next camp meet
ing the grounds and improvements

Rev. e. A. Healy, pastor of the UNI
versity Methodist church, was intro
duced as the NOTED minister from Lon
DON" Rev. Mr.. Healy gave an in
teresting account of his recent trip to
the old country in company with others:
He gave a good word picture of what
he saw and heard in his travels among
the old scenes that have been so long
the interesting landmarks for Ameri-
can sightseers and adventures.
Tells Of Naples
Naples has very striking character
istics," said Rev. Mr.. Healy "There
are fine streets and buildings as we
could see riding through the city, but
in many ways throughout the city.
There are many beggars, soldiers and
priests everywhere.
THE milkmen also have queer meth
ods of operating their industry on the
streets in some of the cities. The own
er of COW will lead her to the front
of the house of the patron and milk
the required amount where natures
milk is not watered. Sometimes the
t. nd fol n
and milked."
In passing over many scenes and en-
counters coming within his observa-
ton and experience and speaking OF
Italy, the speaker said:
Thine in Italy is compared as nothing
in the precepts of the people. The hills
are beautifully terraced, the vineyards
and orchards are we'll laid out and
receive the best of care, but the work
is done with the tedious method and
principle of carrying a shovelful of soil
mile in the time required according
to energy and distance"
Guides Not Veracious
Dwelling quite at length on the city
of Rome the speaker said:
Rome is interesting as an ancient
city in ruins and also one of modern
characteristics. The ruins are very
ures are manifesting themselves in the
light of the present day and genera
ton. But when some of the ancient
order of things are brought up to be
investigated and seen by the travellers,
they are often required to meet with
peculiar descriptions and information
given out by the guides far from the
truth and absolutely ridiculous
Rev. Mr.. Healy spoke of the crum-
nj nf
cient stone ruins throughout the old
countries and that the people were COM
PEELED to continually renew them in
order to retain any semblance of orig
inality.
while we were in Paris we saw
great works of art. I confess that
am not much of an artist and very
many of the so-called wonderful pic
lures did not present better appear
ances to me than some of my kodak
productions-and by the way, 1 took
about 500 of them during my absence
abroad. and this leads me to say that
If a person is not possessed with the
divine gift of painting he had better
stick closely to the kodak"
Rev. Mr.. Healy interspersed his ad-
dress with amusing features that came
under his observation and closed with
the recital of sprightly Irish poem.
Admit U. S. c. Students
Dr. Bovard, president of the Univer-
'sity of Southern California made a
short address pertaining to the work
of the university. DIR. Bovard said that
he had received an official statement
from Berkeley, which institution gives

University of Southern California on
an equality with the larger universi-
ties. DR.. Bovard also stated that the

pedagogal work at Berkeley, enti-
tling them to high school teachers GER
tificates.
Mrs. D. H. Trimble of national ex-
perience in the juvenile work of the
Methodist church made an appeal to
the ministers to rally in aid of the work
of the young people. calling attention
to their all-day meeting to be held in
the First Methodist church next Friday.
