From the East.

By Editor

PROF. C. C. RAMSEY, formerly of Battle Creek College, arrived in Oakland Friday morning last, and has gone to Healdsburgh to take a position in the College there. We are glad to welcome him to this field of labor. His family came with him.
Brother and Sister Ings, late from Southampton, England, where they labored in connection with Eld. Loughborough in that mission, arrived here at the same time. Sister Ings has formerly acted as traveling companion to Sister White. At present Sister White is much worn and quite prostrated, from much labor and anxiety for the work. We ask the friends to remember her specially in their prayers. Her work is progressing rapidly on Volume Four of “Spirit of Prophecy.” She now needs just such assistance as Sister Ings can render.
Eld. Smith announces his own arrival below. Sunday evening he gave an interesting discourse on the “Eastern Question,” to a full house in Oakland.
The coming of Eld. Smith will enable us to carry out plans which we had formed for a more thorough presentation of the truth in this State this fall. If he had not providentially come, these plans could not have been carried out. We need the co-operation of the friends of the cause in circulating what may be published for special use in the present crisis in California, and we need friends to aid in publishing. It is our intention to issue a Weekly Supplement for a few months. It is much needed, and we hope we may be supported in the effort.
