ENCOURAGING REPORTS.

By M. C. Israel

THE news received from all parts of the Conference this week is encouraging. In Los Angeles, where Elder Healey and Brn. McClure and Hurley are laboring, they expect soon to commence building a church.
Six have signed the covenant at Lakeport, where Brn. Rice and Morrison are holding tent meetings.
At Orland, Brn. Briggs and Scott report five as having signed the covenant, and more hoped for. Through the county paper some of the citizens have requested the Baptist minister to give his views in support of Sunday as the Sabbath. He has appointed two lectures which will be reviewed by Bro. Briggs.
Bro. Benton writes from Buena Vista district, Monterey Co., where he and Bro. Frank Lamb are holding meetings, that six more have signed the covenant, making eighteen in all. Nearly all of these have also signed the teetotal pledge. They expect to organize a Sabbath-school soon. The interest still remains good.
Encouraging reports are also received from Bro. Palmer, of the Ship Mission, at San Francisco. M. C. ISRAEL.
