Mrs. Floyd Turnham Is still head
Of a very fine orchestra which was
playing In San Pedro when I was
there. She said, eIf you thought
my Seattle band was good, ye.,
should hear the one have now.
Mr.. Turnham and their son Floyd
are also in this band. Francis and
Floyd are both married and Fran
els has one child. Francis and her
husband are entertaining N al *
elusive night club and have been
ever since Mrs. Turnham closed
the one she owned. Mr. and Mrs.
Turnham have beautiful stuceo
cottage in South Los Angeles, and
as many other great musicians do,
raise chickens IN their spare time.
People in church circles viii be
interested to know that Rev T. +.
Jonesis making rapid strides COR
ward as pastor Of The Indepr -ss.ent
Church Of Christ in South Los An
geles. Rev. Jones assured me that
he was never happier during his
entire ministerial career The

sonage and recreation hall The
parsonage is nicely furnished and
his daughter. Margaret, and her
family live with him. Margaret
also has charge of the choir The
church seats about three hundred,
is comfortable, and boasts of a pri-
vate baptismal pool Also on the
grounds. facing the front street
that is just two blocks off the main
street. is a building housing three
business offices occupied by young
people, all members of Rev Jones
church. In one Margaret has her
piano studio, IN the next two girls
have a beauty parlor. and in the
third a young man has radio
shop. On the unused portion Of
the ground the members are MAX
ing a playground. One reason for
Rev. Jones happiness seems TO be
that he is now able to plan pro-
gram and look forward to its ulti-
mate completion. He sends a mes
sage to Seattle to keep on keeping
on"
Unfortunately did not get to
Pasadena to see Rev. A. r. Dob
bins and Rev. w, D. Carter, but
their fame is not confined to that
one city. In Los Angeles people
talk of their good work and friends
in Seattle can be assured that they
are making excellent progress in
the religious field Of Pasadena, We
like to remember Rev Carter for
his deep religious fervor, and a life
lived so close to the Master that he
was restored his eyesight Rev.
Carter has built a church edifice in
Pasadena that cost over a hundred
thousand dollars. Both Rev. and
Mrs. Carter are active In civic as
well as church work. Rev, Dob
bins, whose venerable head we all
love and revere, has found his best
environment In Pacadena. His
work there amid church minded
people is not SO strenuous as it was
here, and he is going forward in
long strides. He is the same Rev.
Dobbins, interested in. ill things
pertaining to the welfare of his
parishiepers.
Mrs. Florence Edmonds, whom
people around the First Church will
remember, is not in Portland, but
in L. A., and has been for the past
four years. Her son Adolphus and
his wife, the former Olivette Young
are comfortably situated on the
West Side. Olivette is looking as
young as ever, and il taking an
active part in the church work in
her neighborhood under Rev. Is
Iaacs. Mrs. Julia o. Steward is also
lorganist at this church / met Mrs.
Edmonds at Eighth and Towne ST.

evening I visited the Independent
Church and received another sur
prise when l heard the sweet voice
Of Helen Thorne raised in sopra-
no obligato singing with the Gospel
Chorus. Her mother and her aunt,
Mrs. Marcia Lanning Phillips, Ma
ley Robinson and her mother, Mrs.
Florence Mitchell, are also mem
bers of this same church. Rev. C.
d. Russell, the twenty-five year old
pastor of the Independent Church,
is drawing enormous crowds every
