Eighteen Years Pasiorate.

Last sunday Rev Frank D. Sargent entered upon the nineteenth year oi his ministry in the second tongrega
 tionale hureh 0. Putnam. He made il the topic of his mornings discourse
 but confined his remarks mainly to-
 the iogaifs and heaftiBe@s with which the membersflip of his church had sns- ,utned aim ia his long and successful pastorate. Much might be said of thai
 ritiase Of his Iabors. But we ferbeaF- pfeferring to eall attention to the ma ieriai prosperity Of the church under nj. administration, which k modestiy outlined in the following statement printed Tn the Church Calendar:
 Today marks the beginning of the nineteenth year of the present pastor ate We have never made II custom tO preach anniversary sermons or 10 indulge in remarks that could be in- terpreted as being unduly seii.appfecia' tive. IL may not, however, be aiiiss to note the unquestionabie fact that III our growing community we nave mol teen unmiudfui Of our opportunities. During these eighteen years, three hun dred and two have been added to the
 roll of the church. We have contrib ated to charitable purposes, oulslde of our own community, about f.i0'Dp'
 The Pastors salary--libefal in the be- giHning-was increased three yeafs eso, and the annual expenses amounting, as an average, to over s3,H1, have, a- q rule, been promptly met Jan. l. la'm, there was an out .taBdinR debt oI near ly s3.tpe, incurred in part by fepalts upon the church editise. Early III the present pastetate this debt @a~ paid, and enough more money was raised ip pGrebaSe the organ. Since then fin- pfoxemeuts, including new windows, metal ceiling, repatr~ upon chapeis new carpet, and changes in the basenenl have Bcen made. in addition To tiis the parish has aaded to its property the parsonage and the estate on l1NefN street. The only present indebtedness iS ei .tan on the parsonage and au9ut s5,#i on the parish house, liieh ls being gfadualls les,ened by returns from the property. Through iegaeles We have = permanent fund of siefl whose interest k to be expended in pa rish expenses.
 If the condition of the church when he assumed charge, were stated. with Us small congregation, which has in- creased full thrice and in perfect har=
 nony, and il. contributions in still iarger proportion, better conception might be had of the important work accomplished in his eighteen yeafs pastotate. Two motives has governed his Iabors. First, tn bring people under suitable work for every one to do to advance their own and the church x welfare. Hence its growth and pros- peritN.

as Chimerical to Be an Ac-

A railroad from Seattle to the Pana-

looked upon as chimerical, promises to
be an accomplished fact before long.
Hartman is building rapidly toward
.Guadalajara from Guaymas, and his
line viii make connection with the Pan
American road, whose objective point
now IS Guatemala
There has been delay in the con-
struction Of the latter line, owing to
lack of money, but it is asserted now
that j. NJ .Neeland has received the

lean in Mexico, little more than
100000 pesos.

construction of the last 100 kilometers

Neeland- now will undertake the task
Of pushing the road straight through

TO CONFER ON NEW
SCHOOL BUILDINGS"
Mission Promotion Association
) Asks That Additional Quar-
ters Be Provided
Committee Will Try to Have
Library More Centrally Los
Gated and Better Equipped

The overcrowded condition of the
by the lack of schools, was one of the
main topics of discussion at regular
meeting of the Mission promotion as
sociation last night. Statements that
every school in the Mission is over
crowded to such n.extent that chill
dren from all grades can not be accom-
modated were made. Two lots which
belong to the school department, one in
Vermont street between Eighteenth
and Nineteenth, and the other in Rhode
Island street between Mariposa and
Eighteenth, are at present unoceupied.
1t was recommended THAT temporary
buildings be. erected on these lots, and
the: executive committee of the asso-
citation was appointed to, confer with
the. members of the board of education
in regard to the. building of these tenn
porary. scnoolhouses.
A committee consisting of James
Rolph Jr., Supervisor George Center
and Father d. o. Crowley was ap-
pointed to confer with the library trus-
tees in an endeavor to have the Mis-
sion branch public library more CEN
trafly located and to have it better
equipped. AT the present time the
library is located at Mission and Twen-
ty-third streets. The. librarians are
compelled to work in eramped quarters
and the building is not large enough
to hold all of the volumes that are
sent there.
The executive. committee of the asso-
citation was appointed to represent the
association at the meeting of the com.
,mercia1 organizations of the state, in
M ~ ; 4 .a1i.a 1fe
exchange, September 4, when the pro-
posed issue of bonds for the improve
ment of San Francisco harbor and Is.
lais creek will be discussed.
The proposition to make a corpora
ton yard cut of the present site of the
juvenile court was referred to the
executive committee. 1t was suggested
that the association recommend to the
playground commission that all new
Fairgrounds. contain a public swim
ming tank for the convenience of the
