CHRISTMAS OFFERINGS IN CALIFORNIA.

By John Norton Loughborough

THERE has been more or less inquiry relative to the Christmas offerings in the California Conference. The sums received from each church are given below. The total, $3,774.00, does not greatly exceed that of 1887, but it should be borne in mind that a good many of our people had made pledges to the foreign and home missions, due about New Year's time. This with the decline in business will account for the difference, more than any lack of interest in the object:—
