This was followed by Miss Naney Lu- cas giving a description of the 21 mis. sions established between 1769 and 1823, beginning at San Diege and ending at San Franeisco.

This was the hoge of Father Junipero Serfa, the first president and founder of the earlier missions. Here he died ‘in 1784, much beloved by all the people. San Antonio De Padua was founded in 1771 and like each of the mi: sions had architéetural features and a beauty all its own. In its prime this was one of the most important and prosperons missions. Many views were shown of each of the missions, Carmel mission being the most begutiful. Twelve thousand Indians eame under the influence of these missions and 50 trades were taught them. San Francisco Solano, the most northerly Franciscan mission. was.founded in 1823. It was i r:om of this mission that the “bear flag’ vas raised.
