NAPA AND OAKLAND.

By William M. Healey

FROM Fresno I went to Napa to attend the State quarterly meeting; but the heavy storm which set in at that time flooded most parts of the city; and meetings were an impossibility, but with other brethren I visited several here who seem to be desirous of knowing more of the truth. From Napa we came to Oakland and found some interest had been awakened by the missionary efforts of our brethren. We held five meetings here, and six persons resolved to go with us, and were baptized and admitted to membership in the Oakland church. The interest manifested in the meetings seemed to increase, and we feel that judicious labor bestowed upon this field would bring more fruit, but at present, duty seems to call us away to other places. May God help in the harvest which is "ripening far and wide." W. M. HEALEY. Oakland, Feb. 7, 1881.
