Church Organized at Santa Ana, Cal

Alba J. Padgham

I am pleased to state that the Christian Scientists of this place, are now regularly organized, having perfected their organization within the past two weeks. We have fifteen charter members, with the prospect of some additions withing the next few weeks.

Not being able to rent a furnished hall that we could have on Wednesday evening, the Scientists secured a fine hall at a moderate rental, with a seating capacity of one hundred, which was furnished at a cost of about one hundred and fifty dollars.

This hall was papered, floor covered, chairs, pulpit, and platform put in, and otherwise made comfortable and attractive.

This was a profitable demonstration, as many of the congregation are poor in this world's goods, and we are repaid many times in individual blessings, as well as increased attendance and interest. I am a business man endeavoring to demonstrate my business and surroundings so that when the call comes I may be able to go up higher.

Alba J. Padgham.
