PLEASE READ AND REPORT.

WE are anxious to know just how many Sabbath-keepers there are in California. We know by the reports, very near how many there are in our various churches, but there are many lonely, faithful ones, who are not included in the reports which we receive from the churches; also many covenant members of our fully organized churches which are not reported. We want the name, and address as near as possible, of all these by the time of camp-meeting. Now, if any of you know of any such, and will report their names to me within a week from date, I will be very much obliged indeed. If you do not know just where they are, report the county, or part of the State they are in, and I will try and find them, and render them such encouragement as I find they may need, and enlist them in the work of the Lord, that they also may hear the "well done," "enter thou into the joy of thy Lord."
If any of these lonely Sabbath-keepers should see this notice I would be much pleased to hear directly from them, just as soon as possible, as to how they prosper spiritually, and if there are any others who are with them in the "present truth," in their neighborhood. Direct all letters to Eld. J. D. Rice, Pacific Press, Oakland, Cal. Will our brethren and sisters please consider this an individual matter, and give a little thought to it, and report to me, be it few names or many.
J. D. RICE.
