DAYTON, WASHINGTON TERRITORY.

By G. W. Colcord; A. T. Jones

Our good State quarterly missionary meeting is closed. Excepting the last day, the weather was fine. The three directors and three librarians attended. Each church was represented. A few family tents were pitched, and the meetings continued into the fifth day. Six meetings were held in the interests of the T. and M. work; four of these were missionary schools.

This church has just completed a nice house of worship, 24x36. Only a small debt remained unpaid, and the friends became responsible for this before it was dedicated to the Lord. Dedicatory services were held on First-day, Oct. 21, at 11 A. M. This is the third house of worship erected by our people in this young Conference. The fourth is already inclosed. There are some hopeful features in other parts of this field; but perhaps we would better wait until "hope shall change to glad fruition," before mentioning them.

We are unworthy, but hopeful in God.
