English Mission.

By Editor

Bro. Geo. R. Drew, of St. Helena, California, left here on the overland express train on Thursday afternoon, January 5, to meet Elder Loughborough in New York, where they take ship for England, the 14th inst. Bro. Drew has given himself specially to the missionary work, and we congratulate the mission on getting such a helper.

The American people naturally feel a lively interest in the mission to the nation speaking our own language, and the people of California feel a special interest in it because Elder Loughborough left this coast for that field. And now California gives another worker to England, and many prayers will go with them on their journey.

A note from Eld. Loughborough, received since Bro. Drew left, informs us that Eld. John and wife of Illinois, and Sister Jennie Thayer of Battle Creek, Mich., will also accompany him; Bro. and Sister Ings, who have heretofore assisted in the work in Southampton, are coming to California. We promise these workers a hearty welcome to this coast.
