CHICO, CAL.

By J. D. Rice; W. C. Grainger

HAVE given eighteen discourses up to date. Are now in the midst of the Sabbath question. A number are about deciding upon the truth who have been investigating since we were here before. Others are searching the Scriptures to see if these things are so.
Church fairs, concerts, and festivals are the order of the day, varied with worldly concerts, shows, etc. Nearly every evening has been occupied since our coming here. And as we are living in the time when men shall be "lovers of pleasure more than lovers of God" (2 Tim. 3:4), these places have been well patronized, while our congregations have been much smaller than we expected. Yet we trust our labors will not be in vain. Pray for the work here.
