LAFAYETTE, CAL.

By B. A. Stephens

MARCH 7, a Health and Temperance club was organized, with Melville Grant as leader, and Mrs. W. Downey, secretary.
All here are now supplied with Testimony, No. 29, and nearly all with tithing-boxes. The Sabbath-school class contribution boxes work well, and at the present rate will more than furnish all necessary supplies.
Elder W. S. Urmy, the Methodist pastor here, threw out a challenge for discussion on the Sabbath question, which I accepted, and it came off March 11. He took strong antinomian ground, denied that Christ was our example, and said that it was unnecessary to keep the Father's commandments. The Lord gave force to the truth in reply.
The Alhambra school-house near here was burned in a gale last week, and so closed the way for my giving a course of lectures there before the tent season, as I had intended.
