SAN FRANCISCO.

The tent was moved to the corner of Jones and Eddy Streets last week. This brings our place of meeting within three blocks of Market, where it is intersected by Jones Street. To this point persons can come on the Hayes Valley, or Valentia Street cars. The Sixth Street, Turk Street, and Sutter and Larkin Street lines all come within one block of the tent. This place is central and accessible from any part of the city. Meetings commenced Friday evening. Nine persons signed the covenant before the tent was moved, and three were baptized. Quite a number more are on the point of deciding, and will still attend the meetings. Sister White gave the third discourse on Christian Temperance last Sunday, "How to Correct Evil Habits." It was listened to with great interest by quite a large audience.

SALINAS.

Bro. Ballou writes that four were baptized last Sunday, and that others will soon unite with the church. Eleven joined the Tract and Missionary Society. The meetings close at that place tonight, and the tent will be moved to Hollister, San Benito County, the first part of the week.

UKIAH.

Bro. Scott writes that sixteen have decided to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus, and six or eight others are almost persuaded, who, it is hoped, will fully decide to give their hearts to God. They expect to move the tent this week to Willetts, a place twenty-two miles north of Ukiah. We feel thankful for the evidence that the Lord is still working for us, and we hope to meet at our coming camp-meeting, many who have received the truth through the labors of our tent companies and missionary workers this season.
