Santa Monica, Cal.—In July of last year our distribution committee started taking the Monitor weekly to the quarters of the county chain-gang, situated in Topango canyon, about five miles from here. The guards were very courteous and willing for the paper to be left, and gradually Sentinels and Journals were added. Then we were given permission to hold services there. On Jan. 4 we held the first service, and our first reader and another gentleman conducted it. We had our regular form of service, with the omission of the singing and the collection. Announcement was duly made that we would hold service every other Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. Out of forty-one prisoners, twenty-four listened to the service.
