Church Federation Indorses Move
Looking to Personal Effort Amonu
Christians During July
and August

To sustain the Christian work during
the summer months and impress the
idea upon church members that Chris
tian work and winning people to the
Lord is as needful in summer as I'm
winter, was one of the main topics of
interest of an enthusiastic meeting of
the Church Federation last evening at
the Coffee club headquarters
About one hundred members were
present and took part in the discus
sions. Three plans were presented
which were all unanimously adopted: :
The necessity of personal work among
Christians during the months of July
and August, when especially good op-
portunities are presented; the district
ing of the city so that each church
may have its district to visit, enabling
the churches of the city to make a
complete visitation of the city every
two or three months, each church to
have representatives visit the families
in it's district and report the newcom-
ers to their respective denominations;
and lastly to form praying bands in
preparation for the general evangelis-
tic services, which will be held stimuli
taneously in all the Protestant
churches next spring.
The plans were enthusiastically
adopted by the members present and
similar meeting, it was decided, will
be held by the Federation early in the
month of August.
AS a result of the meeting last even
ing DIR. T. G. Horton of the Emmanuel
Presbyterian church, with band of
young people from the church, will
conduct special services in the Trinity
Methodist church south each evening
next week.

]. H. c. Jaxon. the Pasadena negro
charged with the murder of James
Logan, yesterday pleaded not guilty to
the charge and his bail was fixed at
$4,000.

against the man is far from strong,
and attorneys for the prosecution do
not intend to work hardship on the

bail until the case is brought to trial.
