The Missionary.

By I. D. Van Horn, M. C. Israel

VACAVILLE, CAL.

COMMENCED meeting Friday evening the 9th ult. This church has a membership of twenty-eight, only seven of which live in this place. The most of the members live over seven miles away.
On Sabbath and Sunday eighteen came together besides quite a number from outside. Three preaching services were held on each day, besides Sabbath-school and a social and business meeting. The Lord gave freedom in preaching the word, and a good season was enjoyed by the church. Bro. and Sr. Daniels of Dixon, who had taken their stand for the truth through missionary efforts, united with the church. Although there has been much to discourage the brethren here in the apostasy of some who had held high positions in the work, they are now getting along harmoniously and are of good courage in the Lord.
