Under the direction of Mr. L. M.
Woodside as Superintendent and Mr.
W. Oswald Morrow as Assistant, the
Sabbath School has made a very good
record, both for attendance and character
of work done. Special attention
is being given by some of the classes
to the study of the Shorter Catechism,
not merely committing the questions,
but a careful study of their teaching.
The young people also meet each Sabba,th
evening for one hour preceding
the preaching service for the study
of the distinctive teaching of our own
church. We ure now studying the
"Reformed Presbyterian 'Catechism'"
authorized by the Synod in 1912. The
pastor has charge of this work. Wednesday
evening prayer meetings are
well attended and are an interesting
and profitable feature of our work.
The Sabbath School not long since
spent a day in the foot hills. A most
bountiful dinner waa enjoyed, and the
take Up "The Immigrant Forces." A
rest of the day was spent in mountain
climbing, sight seeing, and in other
ways as tastes dictated.
The apricot harvest, the largest
ever gathered in the valley, which is
coming. to . a close, brought a large
number of transients to the valley,
among them several Covenanters from
Santa Ana, Los Angeles and other
places. These all attend our services
with a good degree of regularity, and
are welcome additions to our audiences.
A number of the members interested
themselves in distributing in­
abundant harvest of small grain,
and with a few more timely rains, a
heavy corn crop will be assured. On
the evening of June 29th, the Geneva
Glee Club was greeted by a large and
appreciative audience. The programe,
which was a lively one from
start to finish, was enthusiastically
received. We had been anticipating
an enjoyable evening and were not
disappointed. Winchester feels a special
interest in the Club, as three of
its members, Messrs. White, Smith
and Weir, are members of our congregation.
Mr. S. A. Milligan and wife,
of our Santa Ana 'Congregation, recently
visited relatives and friends
in the congregation. The L. M. S.,
at its July meeting gave a reception
for Miss Elma French, our returned
missionary. Refreshments of ice
cream and cake were served, and four
misses dressed in Oriental costumes
assisted in serving. The Society has
completed the study of 'The King's

of the contest, Mr. Paul White, will
represent us in the contest held at
the Presbyterian Convention, which
meets at Stafford, August 18-20. Miss
Elma French will also be a delegate
to the convention. We greatly appreciate
