California

By E. H. Adams; P. P. Adams

ONTARIO.—The thirteenth of last October we began a series of tent-meetings in Ontario, which has a population of about eight hundred. In some respects this was a very hard field. There are ten churches here. Our people held a series of meetings in this place about two years ago. At first the attendance at our services was very small, but by the blessing of the Lord it gradually increased till we had a fair audience. We held eighty-one evening meetings, and twenty adults accepted the truth. The twenty-sixth of December the Christian Church kindly granted us the use their baptistery, and six precious souls were buried with their Lord by baptism, Elder J. W. Adams officiating. Others are now ready for baptism. We gave away fifteen dollars' worth of papers and tracts, and sold fifty dollars' worth of books. The week-of-prayer meetings were held in the tent in the afternoon, and thirty-five dollars was raised for foreign missions. The expense of the tent-meetings was $37.59. The collections were $81.09.

We are now holding meetings at Upland, two miles from Ontario. Four meetings have been held, and the attendance is not very large, but our courage is good, and our hope is bright; for soon, very soon, we expect to see Jesus.
