Mr. Harboard in October. | This effort resulted in the gaining of seventen new members bringing the roll up to forty-one. The same month a young people's society of Christian Endeavor was organized with an en rollment of eighteen. This society is active and stands near to the top among the Endeavor societies of the whole city. Soon after this a tent was pur chased by the ladies of the church and evangelistic services were held. It ■ was at this time that the state evangel-; ist of Texas, Mr. Boggess came to San Antonio, and under his guidance the plans were carried out which have re sulted in the erection of the present building. The new church building is a com fortable and pretty structure placed on the back part of an excellent lot. The cost of the building was something over $2OOO. On the first of June Mr. j Harboard was installed as the regular pastor. He preaches for the congrega-| tion every Sunday both morning and night and his work is splendidly effect tive.

In the theatrical world the name of Drew stands for hereditary talent — not one of the direct line or any of its off-shoots by marriage having failed to establish his or her right to the name or connection with it. The elder John Drew was generally conceded to be the greatest Irish comedian that ever lived. The famous Mrs. Drew is remembered with love and veneration by all the atregoers, and was unquestionable the greatest cemedienne of her time. The characters of “Mrs. Malaprop” and the “Widow Warren” she made her own, and took them with her, when death claimed her. The present John Drew is acknowl edged to be one of the best light com edians this country has produced, and Georgie Drew Barrymore was destined to be as popular when a sudden ill ness terminated her promising career.
