Laytonville, California.
By E. A. Briggs
I HAVE just closed a course of meetings at Laytonville, which resulted in the establishment of a company of eleven adult Sabbath-keepers. Previously there was but one Sabbath-keeper in that whole region; but it is hoped this little company will hold up the true light so that it may shine far around. A Missionary Society of ten members was organized; a club of eighteen Signs ordered, and fifty-four dollars pledged to forward the missionary work. I found the brothers and sisters at Willits of good courage, and baptized two last Sabbath at that place. The church at Ukiah, I find firm in the truth, in spite of bitter opposition. Bless the Lord for the flood of light which is now shining forth regarding the present truth.489E. A. BRIGGS.
Ukiah, Oct. 24, 1882. As usual, Bro. Butler set before them the importance of purchasing and reading our books. At the last service he looked bad, yet he would not give up till the next day, when he left for home. Thus closes another of our yearly gatherings. Waynseboro, Miss., Oct. 18, 1882.
