Vina, Tehama County, California.
By E. A. Briggs
I HAVE been holding meetings here five weeks, with a fair attendance. Expect to close the meetings to-morrow by the baptism of three brothers. Four brothers and three sisters have signed the covenant, besides two Sabbath-keepers already residing here. A Sabbath-school has been organized and five copies of the Instructor ordered. The kindness and energy of Bro. Grayson have done much towards making this effort a success. Very many here-about acknowledge that they ought to observe the Lord's Sabbath, but say they cannot afford it. The nine adults who have signed the covenant feel that they can, under no circumstances, afford to break it. I go next to Chico.
