Oakland and San Francisco.
By Editor
AT our prayer-meeting in Oakland on Tuesday evening, Nov. 13, we were impressed to make some remarks in regard to our own health, in view of the fact that we have been preserved from the power of disease for so many years. Occasionally we are prostrated with over-work, as at the time of our late camp-meeting, but it was not by disease. We have been remarkably free from disease for years past, in fact, ever since we commenced the observance of the Sabbath, over thirty years ago; and we are still. The meeting referred to took the form of a praise service, and the testimonies given were most cheering. We ought to praise more. It does us good. Last Sabbath we spent with the church in San Francisco. It is seldom that we are able to leave our own church, our labors in the Office confine us so closely. We had not visited "the city" in a long time. It was a pleasure to us all. We had freedom in speaking, and all seemed to enjoy the opportunity. We were interested to see a class of adults in the Sabbath-school, all foreigners, gathered in by missionary work. It is a good mission field. Every city should have such work put forth. We need it in Oakland.
