Our meetings in Salinas closed with encouraging results. Four were added to the church by baptism, and several others are keeping the Sabbath, who we believe will soon go forward in baptism. Some others are deeply interested, and we look for more fruit in the near future. Much prejudice has been removed, and the Baptist church has been secured for Sabbath meetings. We trust that the brethren and sisters will carry forward the tract and missionary work judiciously and faithfully, and thus help to develop the work. Throughout the entire meeting, they showed a most commendable zeal in sustaining the meetings with their means and by their presence, some coming from eight to thirteen miles to attend many of the meetings. May God bless the church in Salinas.
We are now holding meetings at this place. The way is opening favorably before us, and we enter upon our work here with good courage. G. D. Ballou, A. Brorsen.
