THANKSGIVING DAY

Seventh-day Adventist Missionary Society · Oakland, California · Dec 1, 1881

Was observed by services in the S. D. Adventist Church in Oakland. "Union services" were held in other places, but our appointment was out before we learned of them. Though the congregation was small, and composed entirely of those of small means, $17.85 were received by collection for the Old Soldiers' Home; a larger sum than was raised by any other congregation of medium size. And we are glad to learn that there is good prospect of raising sufficient means to build the Home. The object is a worthy one.
