MONROE
OUR CALIFORNIA EXCURSION.
Editor The Bee: Our interesting par-
ty of some GO people was gathered from
a dozen Eastern ana central western
states. Leaving Boston and New York
on January 8, a small contingent, the
balance were picked up along the way
Many having occasion to go Webt two
weeks before this, arranged to join them
at Omaha, Nebraska. They arrived
tht re as per schedule, January 10. Our
route was via Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific to Denver, thence via Denver and
Kio Grande and Rio (irande and western
and Southern Pacific to Sacramento, Cal.
Arrived in Denver, Friday, the 11th, at 8
m. After breakfast at Windsor hotel
we vi-ited various places of interest in

deal of fruit raising in Colorado under
the foot hills. Immense herds of cattle,
horses and sheep all tbiough Colorado
and Nevada. At the stations Indians
were out begging from us. Leadville,the
reat silver town, is on the western slope
of the Rockies about 400 miles from Den

discovered there and the place is flour-

est.ined to be a great fruit section. The

AT ST PAUL'S.
Rev Dr Jones discoursed, last Sunday,
from the text taken from the Epistle of
St Paul to the Romans,"! am not asham
ed of the Gospel of Christ; for it is the
power of Uod unto salvation to every one
that believeth."
Among notices given he suggested that
the male members of the parish, as a self
denial through Lent should give up the
use or tobacco and the reading or Sunday
newspapers, at least until after the ser
vices of the church, lest they detract from
the worship due on the Lord's day. The
idea of self punishment must be banished
from a true conception of Lent, and tbe
idea of discipline substituted for it, for
discipline is the purpose of Lent.
The rector is giving a series of lectures
on the Epistle to the Romans, on Wed
nesday afternoons through Lent, and
cottage lectures are to be held Wednes
day evenings at inc. house of Mrs John
son, Fairfield Woods.
