GRASS VALLEY, CAL.

LAST Sabbath and Sunday I visited the little company at Auburn, and found them all firm, and most of them progressing in the truth. Three more have decided to take hold with them, making a company of eleven precious souls. Of these three, one is an old lady eighty-two years of age, the other two are a school-teacher and his wife, who, we hope, will be a great help to the company at Auburn. One of the company is a lady living at New Castle, four miles from Auburn. She was formerly a first-day Adventist, but is now keeping the Sabbath with her family of six children, and is firm in the truth. The school-teacher, and his wife, came out principally by visiting them, and reading and praying with them.
The interest here is increasing daily. The average attendance is from seventy-five to one hundred and twenty-five. Bro. Briggs continued the work here in my absence. We labor on in faith, and hope that many precious souls in this place will be brought into the light, and will obey God, and keep his whole truth.
Pray for us, and the work here. Aug. 10. J. S. HOWARD.
