FRIEND SUMMERILL:
l write you in regard to my trip to
Southern California. This is one of the
most beautiful mornings that ever occur
red in this land of sunshine and bloom.
| left Frisco On the morning of March 22d
OH the Southern Pacific limited express, a
solid Pullman train throughout. 1t took
seventeen hours to reach Los Angeles, a
distance of $50 miles, through blooming
orchards, green mountains and deep can
yons OH one side and the broad Pacific
ocean on the. other.
Southern California is the Mecca of the
world. The climatic conditions can not
be surpassed anywhere on the globe.
The people of the East could readily I'M
derstand if they could only see the condi-
lions as they exist. It is a land Of sun
shine and flowers. Palm trees grow three
to five feet in diameter.
While sitting in the beautiful tropical
parks and seeing the great number of
tourists one wonders where they all come
from.
We are having vegetables in abundance,
strawberries and everything that grows
in the shape of vegetables. Southern
California is the wonder Of the world.
l shall go to the Catalina Islands next
week for a five days trip, and then down
into Mexico, also to any old place l can
get, as | have until Christmas and am in
no hurry. Being a railroad man the train
men take every opportunity to point out
and direct me to many points of interest,
and the fraternity to which l belong Sc
cures me many friends and I am never
without company.
1 am at present stopping with Mrs. Lizzie
Wheeler, formerly Mrs. Isaac Strengthen.
This will let my friends know where
am located. / received the paper all
right. Many thanks, as 1 like to hear
from home. Yours respectfully,
MAURICE L. SPARKS.

At4.l5 Point Iona light came in sight
and at 800 O'Clock we rounded the point
aud went into the lapd-locked harbor
and up the bay. 1t was a fine sight. All
the passengers were lined up OH the up
per deck and gazing at the old Spanish
city as it lay at the foothills, screened
from ocean view by the mountains. At
5 30 we were in the dock and going down
the ships side waiting to be taken to our
hotels.
The Governor is the largest steamer
plying this coast.
These old cities, stuck on the side oil
mountains, are historic landmarks OF the
Spanish, who first came here, and all tour
lists are looking them up. The same as
all other cities of Southern California,
they ale the land of sunshine and flowers.

were plucking the feathers. l counted
two hundred and fifty birds.
We sailed out of here Saturday evening

Epworth League Eutertains

social affairs OF the season took place on
Monday evening in the lecture room of
st. Paul's Church, when the Epworth
League entertained class twenty-five OF
the Sunday school. This class consists
Of young men of the town and is taught
by Pastor Lee.
The evening passed in a most delightful
manner, and from the time the guests
were received by the reception committee
until midnight, when ''good night" was
said, nothing but merriment reigned.
About seventy we're present. The social
committee had a fine assortment of games
prepared and all took part in these-all
| were there for a jolly time.
Instrumental and vocal music had its
| part SO pleasing to all, and the familiar
| pieces in which all joined was very
beautiful.
The collation. was served in a novel
manner. Each lady had provided a dainty
lunch for two. These were put into a
"fish pond" and gentlemen were the
fishermen. Each was provided with a
fishing pole and line, and after all had
enjoyed the sport and caught their fish,
upon opening their boxes, they could see
by the enclosed card who their friend
was. Then all enjoyed their refresh
ments together.
Each lady had provided a BOBBY prize
for her unknown friend and much myrth
was provoked by these gifts of every
description.
Mr.. Lee was presented with a box oil
chicken salad especially prepared for him.
OF course he was delighted at the thought
of "~chicken," and he smiled i'll a very

tween the salad leaves; then he smiled
little louder.
The evening was passed in a most ell
joyable way, and with such a crowd 0
young folks and all so congenial, TIN
event will long be remembered.
1t is the intention of the social com
|, mittee to have these affairs quite often
and by showing the social side of til

To know she is gone, never to return,
Gone, yes gone, forever to stay.

About the coming morrow.
But as time rolls on you will think

That God knew best to break that link
But so hard, so hard, to understand it now
Pray on, lean hard on the arm of your
