Ukiah and Willits, Cal.

By J. D. Rice, E. A. Briggs, L. A. Scott

WE closed our meetings in Ukiah the 16th inst. Nineteen have covenanted to keep all the commandments of God and the faith of Jesus. Others are keeping the Lord's Sabbath, whom we expect will unite fully with us before long. Quite a general interest has been awakened. Some opposition also as might be expected. Many express themselves convinced of the truthfulness of these things, but seem not to realize the importance of acting up to their convictions. We baptized four Sabbath, July 8; and others expect to fulfill this ordinance soon. We leave the little company quite hopefully. Some of us expect to meet with them every Sabbath for a few weeks at least, to assist in their Sabbath-school, etc.

We are now at Willits, a small town in Little Lake Valley, about twenty-two miles north of Ukiah. Have secured a very desirable location, and are all ready to begin meetings to-night. The people are quite friendly, and seem anxious to hear. We hope for much good to come from this effort. Pray for us.
