North Pacific Conference.
By Charles L. Boyd
PORTLAND.—Six years ago a series of meetings was held at this place in the tent by Brn. Van Horn and —. Of those who then embraced the Sabbath, three remain here and are faithful; others have been added to their number, some by immigration and others by conversion. In company with Bro. Snashall, I held meetings with this company last Sabbath and first-day, and organized a church. Three were baptized in the Willamette River. A precious season was enjoyed in the celebration of the holy supper, in which several took part for the first time. A weekly meeting and Sabbath-school are sustained. May this company be, in this large and wicked city, like a light through whose shining many precious souls shall speedily be drawn to the blessed Saviour, and a saving knowledge of his present truth.
