Tent No. 1, Oakland.

The meetings here are still prospering. Eld. Healey is now presenting the subject of the Sabbath. Some have decided to obey, and many are deeply interested. Sunday, July 7, twelve were baptized. July 14, there was to be another baptism.

Tent No. 2, Lemoore.

The tent meetings held here by Bro. J. L. Wood closed June 30. Seven or eight were keeping the Sabbath in the vicinity of Lemoore when the meetings commenced; now there is a church of over thirty. As soon as arrangements can be made, a meeting-house is to be built on a beautiful lot donated by the railroad company.

Tent No. 3, Placerville.

Bro. B. A. Stephens commenced meetings here July 5. The average attendance is about one hundred. Tracts and papers are freely taken. Bro. H. T. Brown, of Lafayette, will assist in canvassing the town with books and periodicals. This is the first preaching of present truth in the foothills of the Sierra Nevadas. There seems to be an interest to hear.
