THIRD CHURCH ITEMS.

Sunday last was a day not soon
10 be forgotten by members aud
friends of the Third Baptist church.
In spite of the unpleasant weather
both services were we'll attended
and there were positive evidences
of spiritual blessings. Two candi-
dates were baptized, and three new
names added to the church roll,
making total of ten new members
for the past three weeks There
has been no attempt at revival,
yet the results are as great as those
of some successful REVEALS. We
owe thanks to God and the earnest
hearted members of our church.
All the members and friends are
invited to attend services morning
and evening on Sunday, January 9.
in order TO learn of the work for
the year i'll all departments. We
are not ashamed to let our friends
know just where their money has
gone and for what it was spent.
The japanese weeeing will take
place Thursday, Jan. Is, and from
all accounts many tickets have
already been sold. Those taking
part i'll this play are some of San
Francisco's most talented people
Do not forget that the same tickets
will be accepted even though the
date has been changed from Dec.
80 to January 10.
A visiting minister will speak on
Sunday evening. and it is hoped
that the usual attendance will be in
evidence.
Many pleasant remarks have been
made concerning the concert given
by the Twenty-fourth infantry band
Sunday last We are pleased to
see that our people appreciate the
best in service and song.

Planet Lodge Installation

Planet Lodge, No. 1. A. R. f., held its
regular meeting on Wednesday, Jan. s.
The secretary and treasurer reported
cash assets OF $l,6ll.72 for year ending
December 81. William Kennedy, in a
neat little speech, installed the officers
elect. 1t WAS decided to give their
annual ball upon their regular date
February %, l9l6-and committee was
appointed. They expect to introduce
several novel features at this dance.
A friendly discussion arose af.er the
installation as to which member is the
most popular in Planet lodge-President
Walter A. Butler, who has held office
a number Of years, or Treasurer J l..
Derrick, who has held office over ten
years. This lodge does not pay these
officers any salary, but decided to give
a medal to the most popular officers
the contest to be decided by popular
vote at the ball
The trustees suggested the idea some
time ago to transfer their funds on
deposit from the Farmers and Mer-
chants bank to the Security bank.
The reason given for The transfer is
that the Security bank employs Mr..
johnson, member of our race, and to
show our appreciation they instructed
the banking committee TO make the
change before January 10. The slogan
for 1916 is, Help those who help u.s."
II. &. Capwell, who employs several
members Of our race, is the president
of this bank, which is another reason
for fhn Ira ,cfur
