Oakland.

LAST Sabbath was the best day enjoyed by the Oakland church in a long time. Sister White was with us, and her feelings in behalf of the church were so strong, that she said she felt more like exhorting than preaching. She spoke from Rev. 3, on overcoming. It was a calm but very impressive discourse, and the Spirit of God moved the hearts of the people. An unusually good meeting followed, and we believe the blessing of that day will not prove a temporary one.

Since her deep trials and great bereavement a year ago, we are pleased to be able to say that the Lord is greatly blessing Sister White in her public labors and in her writing. In an experience of about thirty years in the Third Angel's Message, we never had more confidence than we have at present, that the Lord is leading the "remnant" by the direct teachings of his Spirit. See Rev. 12:17; 19:10.
