Note from California.

For the past two weeks we have tried to labor faithfully in public and from house to house. We have held nineteen meetings. Two of these were Sabbath meetings, at each of which two new ones spoke for the first time.
We have held in all sixty-five meetings, sold one hundred thirty dollars' worth of books to such as were interested. Most of these books were our small tracts. We have got eighteen subscribers for the REVIEW, fifteen for the Instructor, and one for the Reformer. The Reformer was introduced yesterday, after speaking on the health reform and Bible temperance. Shall probably get more subscribers. In addition to the above, we have given away some thirty dollars' worth of books to such as were interested. Most of these books were our small tracts.
We shall keep the tent up one week longer, after which I shall follow up the work in this place, while Bro. Loughborough will commence in some new field. The work before us is great. Pray for us.
