Report from California.
By D. T. Bourdeau
For the past six weeks we have been laboring in Green Valley, Analy township, six miles from Sebastapol, where we closed our labors with the tent last November. We have given forty-five discourses, and tried to labor faithfully from house to house. About fifteen have already taken their stand on the truth, and we hope that with more faithful labor, others will decide to obey the truth. Four have been baptized, and it is expected that others will soon move forward in this ordinance. This effort is a source of encouragement to those who came out at Sebastapol. These two companies will naturally blend their interests together. During this time we have also met with the churches of Healdsburg and Santa Rosa. At Healdsburg we had a very good meeting. Though it rained most of the day, quite a goodly number met and feasted on the truth, the tears flowing from nearly every eye. All spoke, and encouraged us to go forward in search of the lost sheep. We were refreshed. As we try to draw near the Lord, the future prospects of the cause seem cheering. Santa Rosa, Cal., Feb. 15, 1870.
