San Francisco Tent-Meetings.
By M. C. Israel
ON account of the difficulty of procuring a suitable lot on which to pitch our large tent, the meetings were delayed nearly a week, but finally we secured a place on the corner of Larkin and Washington Streets, in a good neighborhood, and convenient to several lines of street railroad. The Sutter Street Line transfers to Polk, which comes within one block of the place. The Clay Street Line comes within one block. The California Street Line comes within three blocks and the Union Street, via North Beach, comes within six blocks of the place. Elder Van Horn commenced meetings Thursday night, June 1. Up to date three meetings have been held, with a larger attendance than we expected to have at first. Our tent is quite well protected from the wind. It is well lighted and has better seats than usual. The grassy floor is covered with clean straw, and the whole place presents an inviting and comfortable appearance. Sister Alice Bartlett is organist, Brother Hurley leads the singing, and Brother and Sister McClure assist in the meetings, and do missionary work. We hope, by the blessing of God, that these meetings will increase in interest, and that many souls may be gathered in, who will obey the truth and be saved in the day when Jesus comes to gather his jewels. We ask for the prayers of God's people for the success of the work in this city.
