NOTICE.

By E. L. McCapes

I HAVE been appointed secretary of district No. 2, which comprises the counties of Fresno, Tulare, Inyo, Merced, and San Benito, and would invite the members of the California T. and M. Society, living in these counties, to write to me stating their interest in the missionary cause. Especially do I invite those to do so who are not connected with our churches here, or from any reason are discouraged or inactive in the work. I believe that the best way to stimulate others to work, is to go to work myself; and I will begin anew in the fear of the Lord. I want your help. Fresno, Fresno Co., Cal. E. L. MCCAPES.

THE Alta California contains the following complimentary paragraph which is too good to keep, and which we know our California readers cannot fail to appreciate: “The Baptists of Brooklyn intend to build a great church, to rival Spurgeon’s London edifice. The church will need a preacher with good lungs. The Brooklyn brethren will hardly fail to think of Dr. Kalloch. He is peculiarly qualified for success in the Brooklyn field. He has a fine voice for a large church, and has winning ways, which would be sure to attract a big congregation. Doubtless, the doctor would dislike to leave us; still, we would urge him to go, feeling that Brooklyn needs him, and trusting to the Lord to provide for us. Should the doctor receive a call of the kind indicated, we hope he will not throw away such an opportunity to do good, from any over-sensitiveness about tearing himself away from us. We have heard that the climate of Brooklyn is good, and that it is a pleasant place to live in.”
