Sunday Schools have been organized in some places. Church services started and many pastors in the far away and hard districts have been encouraged and helped. The workers are equipped with a commodiius wagon filled with the paraphernalia for house-keeping, but the trials, vexations and disappointments are many. We want to commend them as worthy of special intercession. Mojave Union Church U N D A Y , March 1 3th, 1910, was a red letter day in the by no means prosaic little wind-swept desert town. For the first time in her history she had a church building of her very own. During the year there has been enough money raised to pay off all indebtedness and an organization ef- fected to hold the property. Services have been held every Sunday. Sunday school at 10 a. m., with an average attendance of over thirty, arid an evening service at 7:30, which is generally well attended. Whether the preaching of the Gospel has been responsible or not (we be- lieve it has been as much as any other cause) Mojave stands tcday is law- abiding and safe a town as any of its class in the state. On May 9th the little church had a close shave of being destroyed by fire, but thanks to the efforts of every one—no matter of what creed or occupation, -—the little building still stands intact, a witness for the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Mojaive. Since the beginning of October only a portion of the "Sky Pilots" time— week-ends^has been available for straight aqueduct work, but during that time services have been held on many of the camps and the hospital at Mojave has been visited regularly with fruit, etc., furnished by the Intermediates of the First Congregational and Immanuel Presbyterian churches of Los Angeles, and of Santa Ana and Long Beach. In looking back over a year's work we can say "Amen" most emphatically to Rom. 1:16 and Heb. 7:25. We have seen it work! Th o s. H a n n a y, Jr.
