SACRAMENTO.

By M. C. Israel

SINCE the camp-meeting, Brother and Sister McClure and Brother Scott have been visiting the interested ones, and holding meetings in this place. I had the privilege of spending a few days with them during the latter part of last month. The interest has increased, until now they have a company of about twenty-five who meet regularly. Six new ones have taken their stand on the truth since camp-meeting. We secured a building on the corner of Eleventh and I streets in which to hold regular meetings, which contains rooms suitable for the mission, where a good supply of our publications are kept. The Sabbath-school is held at 9:30 A. M. and is followed by the regular Sabbath meeting at 11.

On Sunday evening at 7:30 a meeting is held for Bible reading on selected subjects. On Wednesday evening a regular prayer and social meeting is held. The friends there have taken hold with a commendable zeal in fitting up a place of worship.

A Tract and Missionary Society has been organized, and we feel hopeful for the work there. Our good camp-meeting did very much in opening the way for missionary labor, by making a favorable impression on the minds of the people, and turning their attention to the truths of the third angel's message.
