Eight thousand official delegates from M state Sunday school associa tions In the United States and the nine provincial Sunday school associations in Canada are expected to be pres ent. Even at this early date it has been necessary to limit the number of delegates that each state and pro vincial association can send to one for very 4000 Sunday school members actually enrolled.

This latter body Is composed of representatives of 32 denominations, while the former has worked through these same denomi nation and also non-denominational schools. The bringing together cf these two bodies into one organization and the unifying of all the efforts and plans makes possible an educational com mittee which is now preparing a com prehensive plan of religious educa tion which will bear an abundant fruit In the Uvea of the next genera tion of American and Canadian citl sens.

MEMORIES of a host of pictur esque figures in the history of California are evoked by the centen nial of the missionary society of the Episcopal church, which will be cele brated November 6. The mind goes back to that mornifig in January, L&48. when Jim Marshall picked up some bits of yellow metal in the tail race above Sutter's mill up In the Sacramento valley, and the cry of "gold," like the shot fired at Lexing tc.n. was heard round the world. The rush of the 49ers followed and In the vanguard was Rev. Flavel Scott Mines, who erected the first church building on the Pacific coast. Trinity church, San Francisco, which was opened on October 28, 1849. Probably no name has a more last ing place In California annals, how ever, than that of Charles Caleb Pierce, called by Bishop Moreiand, "a modern St. Francis," beginning his missionary career in 1861, devoting his life to the people of El Dorado county! Without private means, and scorning to accept a Balary, believing that the people whom he served wculd provide his simple needs, P'erce established headquarters in a rude parish church at Placervllle. Sunday always found him there, read ing the familiar services and per forming his priestly duties. Then regularly each Monday morning he packed his bag with religious litera ture and "hit the trail." Six days a week, week In and week out, he walked over the county, averaging 60 miles each week, every house his home, a place at the table of what ever house he visited, or a spare bed always being certain wherever he happened to be. He always traveled on foot; his charity was unbounded and he was the friend and helper of all. Other ministers came and went, but Father Pierce stayed on. For 42 y.ars he tramped and preached about El Dorado county, never missing a Sunday sermon in Placervllle, never failing the ensuing Monday morning to hit the trail In his picturesque sombrero and flowing tie, with his bag of books flung over his shoulder. Re became the best known and the best loved man in El Dorado; and It was his boast that in all the 42 years he never had left the county but twice, and on both occasions against his will. Then. March 15. 1903. the news was flashed through the county, "Father Pierce Is dead!" It Is an evidence of the veneration In which he was held, and of the in fluence which he exerted throughout tho region to which he ministered, that universal mourning followed. On the day of his funeral the mayor of P'acervtlle issued a proclamation closing all the places of business. The windows of the stores held portraits of the departed pastor, draped In black, and not the store and offices alone were closed, bat across the locked doors of the saloons, dance halls and gambling palaces appeared the legend: "Closed on account of the funeral of Father Pierce." The Pla cerviile Republican Issued an extra supplement containing a picture of Father Pierce and a poem entitled: "Come, El Dorado, and bury your dt-ad." In Placervllle today the memory of Father Pierce remains a potent fac tor among all who came within the sphere of his Influence. He was of the type of men who in every land and-clime have made possible the achievements which the centenary of the missionary society Is celebrating. Evangelical Church to Hold Services in English.
