" REDLANDS CHAMBER OF COMMERGE| Former Pastor of South Church Writes Article Deserip- tive of California in Congregationalist Publica- tion—a Guide Book to Travelers. Rev. Herbert A. Jump, formerly pastor of the South Congregational church, now of Redlands, Cal, has been elected vice president of the Redlands Chamber of Commerce and chairman of the committee on hos- pitality. He is the author of the pampllet guide of Redlands which every sightseer will henceforth use in visiting Smiley Heights. He has also in /preparation a souvenir pamphlet with reminiscences of the Smiley Brothers of Lake Mohonk, N. Y., who were prominent benefactors of Red- lands. Mr! Jump made a decided impres- sion on New Britain because of his intense interest in the civic welfare of the community and by his promo- tion of several projects for the bet- terment of social conditions in the city. His advanced ideas on these matters evidently have been wel- comed in the west. An article written by Mr. Jump and entitled “A Little Baedeker of Cali- fornia,” is published in the June 8 is- sue of “The Congregationalist ' and Christian World.” The editor’s note, which is preflxed to the article and gives some interesting sidelights on Mr. Jump's life in' - California, fol- lows: Has Toured Through State, “Three years of residence in Cali- fornia, part of the time in the north and part of the time in the south; an athletic nature which has sent him tramping into many a nook and cranny of its high mountains, at the same time that his automobile reg- isters more than fifteen thousand miles traversed in tours all over the state; a traveler’s instinct for the un- usual, the picturesque, and the worth while; these, with a reporter’s way of telling things, make Rev. Herbert A, Jump of Redlands an ideal author'for the minjature guide-book of Califor- nia which we print in this issue. 'His article gives the sort of information 2 tourist would like to have, and points out many a detail easy to over- look. He evidently regards the route chosen . for . The Congregationalist party the.ideal route to follow; and his descriptions will be of seryice to the members of that party, as well as to many another 'who may pursue the same general line of travel this sum- mer."” New Brflllnmes Going. Many New. Britain residents ~will | visit the exposition this year and it . is expected that some will visit Mr. Jump. His article describing allur- ing scenes from San Diego to San f‘mnclsco is therefore printed, as fol- ow: I'd rather be a busted lamp-post on Battery street, San Francisco, than be the Waldorf-Astoria.” y This picturesque _quotation intro- duces Will Irwin’s sketch of San Francisco. It voices with character- istic vividness that mysterious tender- ness which every Californian born or made cherishes toward his, adored state. This !'California mood,” cheer- ful, dramatic, highly expectant, doing and suffering in gusto, is not unappre- ciatlve of the excellences of the rest of .the universe, But it regards all other excellences as matters of indif- ference compared with the horizons, the mountaingy the vales kissed with flowers, the sHinning and tingling his- tory, the masculine energy, the big venturesomeness, the bold insouciance that are stirred up together to make the indefinable compound, California. It is a legend hereabouts that = new arrival in heaven was being shown around by a celestial guide. Ay they passed from palace to palace of the many mansions, with more and more of beauty smiting them a every turn, they came finally to a temple fair beyond all imagination. The visitor asked in amazement: ¢ “Why are all these people chained to the floor? ‘‘Oh,” was the answer, ‘‘these saints came from Southern California. . They are not contented here. -We have to fasten them to keep them from go- ing back.” ‘Westward, Ho! All America is coming to Californiu this summer. Six hundred conven- tions of various sorts are announced to meet on the Pacific coast. One rail- road already has fifty special trains chartered for July. If ene arranges his tour as he ought to arrange at, he enters the Golden State. by the Santa Fe route and the Grand Canon. Pursuing this course you cross the Colorado river &t torrid Needles, and first grind dlong through *California dry,” a desert relentlessly bleak and cruel, with the inconsistent cactus pehciling its botanical jerks and angles against a dun-brown back- ground. Disembarking at the ‘‘Gate: City,” San Bernardino, whose name is a first lesson in Spanish pronunciation, and changing to another steam. train or the - electrics for Redlands, in a half-hour the beauty of California bursts forth upon the sight in all its fragrant and exquisite plentitude. Redlands is concededly one .of the miniature paradises of the Pacilic coast. Here snow-tipped mountains for nine months of the year rim' the sparkling orange groves, winter flying into the face of summer, cold hurt- ling 1s challenge at the heat.

Riverside is a city with a hotel. Frank Miller might be called a sort of Congregational Royerofter, who, as he says, “is trying to inject idealisia ln_to the running of a boarding house.” His Glenwood Inn, modeled upon the old Spanish missions, exquisite with a million dollars worth of curios ana works of art, has uniqueness, atmos- phere, fascination beyond any -hotel® in the United States. There are fres- coes on the ceiling of the kitchen so that the cooks and dishwashers as well as the hotel's guests out in front may have beauty for their portion and inspiration. . 'Beyond Riverside the .train cuts across the vineyards of the Italian company, four thousand acres of vines from which grapes are brought by the ton in ‘open freight cars and brutally shoveled like gravel into winepresses. This, and other vine- yards like it, was instrumental last November in preventing California from swinging into the procession of prohibition states. ' If conservative counsels had prevailed as they seem likely to do a year hence, and the campaign had aimed its attack mainly at the saloon, permitting the grape- industry to continue' at least for the Present the count of votes would probably not have shown so safe a majority for the ‘‘wets.” Claremont is the beautiful and al- together satisfying home'of a' trans- planted New England college. Pomona is the California what Amherst and Bowdoin are to the sons of. the Puri- tans east of the Hudson. The origi- nal building is the ex-hotel of the boom days in the '80’s. . The only Phi Beta Kappa chapter in Southern Caii- fornia is proudly possessed by this co-educational institution. As a town Claremont is a wonder of the world, it has only one Protestant church. Called Congregational, this church, where Dr. Henry Kingmam, well- known in the East, preaches, has wel- comed into its fellowship members of a dozen denominations, As an object lesson of how economically and wise- ly-to'“church” a .community, the Claremont experiment is worthy of wide publeity. The Romance of the Spanish Missions. 8an Gabriel is one of the old.Span- ish mission towns. Here is a well-pre- served specimen of that romantic chain of twenty-one establishments founded by Father Junipero Serra and his ‘successors, each day’s journey on foot from its next neighbor up across California, and all connected by ‘E’l Camino Real,” The King's Highway, a boulevard 700 miles long now marked its whole length by repro- ,ductions of mission bells on iron posts every mile, At San Babriel, once called for its wealith and primacy the “Quéen of the Missions,” John 8. Mc- Groarty, poet, dreamer, playwright, antiquarian, patriot, has erected his theater and gives daily performances of his Mission play, sumptuous tab- leau-drama which has become an in- stitution peculiar to California in somewhat the sume fashion. unt .

That great rambling structure is a breakfast food.” The: City ‘pf Angels. Thus we reach I.os Angeles, the gigantic, the fluid, the vocal, the ebul- lient metropolis of the Southwest. You must pronounce her name with a hard “g"” or else you will be called a tenderfoot. This city grows so fast that statistics can never keep up with the facts. It has so radiant a self- consciousness tht they say hereabouts, “You can tell an Angeleno (a resident | of Los Angeles) as far as you can see him—but you can't tell him much.” Here, as in all parts of the West, the theaters run on Sunday. Here the churches advertise their services in the papers with display type ana expansive photographs of the preach- er. Here congregations of 2,000 or 3,000 are found in the “Frst” church of the denomination, and the aggre- gate of ‘the fifteen other congregu- tions -of the same sect may fall short of this figure. Here church calendars invite women to remove their hats before the gospel is preached. Here every “ism” and ‘crank-osophy” that the lucre-loving imagination of woman and man can invent has free course and by its followers is glorified. I asked a little girl beside me in the car one Sunday morning: “Have you been to Sunday school.” “Oh, yes!” she answered. “Where do you go to school?” I inquired further. “I go to the Home of Truth,” she replied. “What is the Home of Truth?” 3} pressed her. “Please, sir, I don't know but I go there."” Was it Max O'Rell who said of America that it was a “land with P forty religions and only one gravy? San Diego and Its Little Fair The route from Los Angeles to San Diego carries one through the English walnut country, the Lima bean coun try, past San Juan Capistrano, one ot the most memory-haunted of the ruined missions, and finally delivers one at the doors of the California- Pacific' exposition, a dream of Old Spain substantiated in architecture. Here one will find the only slow thing in California, viz., the demure electric automobile chairs which eon-~ Sunday _vey you around the grounds at the tumultuous speed of two miles an hour.

San Francisco and Her Big Fair. What shall be said of this, great, big, bovish ,mischievous metropolis? It throbs with all the human nature of the early '49ers, boiled down, like sap Into maple sugar, most inspiring, most romantic municipal unit in the hemisphere. San Francisco is all hope and all hills. Up and down the mountalnous slopes of the latter cable cars craw] like flies.

Furs are worn by the women every month of the year. It is openly Bohemian, this wind- swept city, with a kind of luxurious Greek abandon. It calls itself un- moral rather than immoral. The typ- ical amusement of the. native is a four-hour dinner in the evening. The cafes are the scintillating centers of social life. Completely dominated by trade unionism, San Francisco exhib- its some of the finest and some of the darkest features of this movement. Tragic to relate, it harbors more per- sons who gain their living as paid employes of the liquor business than it has Protestant church members. For religious work it is as arid as an alkali desert.

The defense contended that the in- formation in question, contained a let- ter written to Major Richardson and published in the Times was perfect!y well known to Germany. It was to the effect that the last of the I'renci reserves were in the field ‘and that raw young recruits had been callea up. The case was heard under the de- fense of the realm act.
