In Southern California

By John Norton Loughborough

At the time of my last report I was anticipating a visit to some of our institutions and churches in the Southern California Conference. This labor began November 24 at Fernando Academy, where I remained one week. During this time I held six meetings with the school and members of the Fernando church, speaking of the Lord’s special dealings with his people in the rise of the third angel’s message. I was glad to see so full an attendance at the school, and a class of students who have as their aim preparation for use in the Lord’s work.

From November 29 to December 12 my time was spent at Los Angeles and with the workers at the Glendale Sanitarium, which is located about eleven miles from the city. During this time fifteen discourses were given—eight of these at Los Angeles, and seven at Glendale. All seemed deeply interested in the “calling to remembrance of former days,” with the evident tokens of the Lord’s guiding hand in the rise and progress of this great second advent movement. At the services in Los Angeles, on the two Sabbaths spent there, the meeting-house was filled with hearers to its utmost capacity. That church is contemplating securing a larger meeting place, that they may better accommodate the congregation at general gatherings. At the quiet country sanitarium at Glendale I found a fair patronage of the institution, and the work in a prosperous condition. During the

time of my stay there one of the discourses was given to the patients in the parlor. It is expected that my labors in the Southern California Conference will cover the entire month of December.
